Even garbages like #BBC start to admit the disturbing reality. Between commas:

Content warning: US politics


Political cartoon by Mike Lukovich, showing a very large number of people standing and sitting on one end of a seesaw, while on the other end of the seesaw is only one person, a wealthy middle-aged man smoking a cigar, but with a huge bag of money by his side which far outweighs everyone else on the other end of the seesaw.


The fossil fuel industry has followed the same exact game plan as the tobacco industry, indeed even using the very same lobbying and advertising firms.

That plan — proven successful — is first to deny, then to confuse, and then to delay, but never ever to stop producing and selling their deadly products.

The US war machine is the world's biggest single source of institutional carbon emissions.

The military-industrial complex is closely allied with the fossil fuel industry in their immensely profitable fight to continue with 💵 Business As Usual 💵 for as long as possible.

Our bloated US imperialism budget is eagerly supported by the leaders of both parties, urged on by free-spending lobbyists. This would be comically embarrassing if it wasn’t so tragic. 🤦‍♂️

Area graph shows the rise of US military spending since 1950. The annual amount increases gradually until the early 1980s when the Reagan administration greatly boosted war spending. Then the amount went up more than ever after the 9/11 attacks, until today the US spends about $800 billion per year on the war machine.

A second graph shows that not only is the United States the largest military spender in the world, but that the US also spends more on war than the next 10 countries combined.


I'm late on this, but what this corporate ghoul says - you as a worker have 'gained too much power', and the system needs to (and is) make you unemployed to teach you your place, is why #capitalism really is no good.

It may have served a purpose 'to raise living standards' or whatever the fuck, but now it's only good for those who acquired their place at the top.

For the 99%, it's about being screwed over and exploited by and for the 1.

“Nestle says slavery reporting requirements could cost customers.”

Not to be a joyless communist, but if we can’t have chocolate without slavery, we shouldn’t have chocolate.

No sabia que algunos estados de USA han explícitamente sacado leyes o "bills" para prohibir políticas públicas relacionadas con la sustentabilidad, porque entienden que eso lesiona el derecho a la propiedad privada y al libre mercado (hacer negocios). Alabama, Tenessee, Oklahoma, Kansas... Sabía que eran retrógradas, pero no al punto de sacar leyes en contra de la sustentabilidad #sustentabilidad #sustainability #usa #us #capitalism

Our house is on fire, and here we are frantically running around trying to figure out how to make throwing buckets of water profitable.

What a great illustration of the perversion of #capitalism: someone who owns two restaurants in downtown Minneapolis is asking Target to force thousands of employees to spend literal pieces of their lifespan every day (and polluting and adding to traffic and wearing down/depreciating their cars in the process) to #commute #returnToOffice #RTO so that their restaurant business model continues to be profitable.

The #remoteWork #flexibleWork revolution is likely unstoppable: thanks to three years of lockdowns, workers now know that rote commuting is a waste of time. Flexible and remote work allows more work-life balance and costs everyone less to produce the same output.

The forces against remote work are almost entirely #reactionary: a desire to return to the Old Ways, to Manage By Walking Around, to go back to the Old Business Models, to save Commercial Real Estate; in other words, to save old capital.

If you'd like to learn more about #degrowth, especially the theoretical underpinnings of the idea and its relation to #anarchism, I recommend reading the in-depth blog article linked below.

Here is a brief bit from the beginning...
________________________

The concept of degrowth is really quite simple. It is, at its core, just the reduction of society’s overall metabolism to a level consistent with biospheric boundaries through pathways that prioritize societal well-being. That’s really it.

It is not austerity, recession, or eco-fascist population reduction. In fact, it’s a shift away from the current orthodox socio-economic worldview to one where those descriptors don’t even really make sense because the evaluation of societal well-being has fundamentally changed.

El litio es un mineral clave para la transición energética y se utiliza también en dispositivos electrónicos como los móviles. Sí, necesitamos una transición energética y social, pero una que no destroce comunidades, pueblos ni territorios.

🤗A ver si podéis ayudarnos a identificar qué corte de carretera es peor, si el de las riadas en China o el de nuestras activistas.

🚨Pues a los responsables del primero les dan subvenciones y a las del segundo les piden cárcel.
