I grew up in a comfortable Middle Class Capitalist society (DC/Maryland), I’m 70 years old. Companies,: manufacturing makes economic sense. I was conservative in the USN, unions opened my eyes. I have believed that properly regulated by an oversight Govt set up to serve the people, Capitalism could work. But it’s not working. Continued…

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @foolishowl @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @mloxton Please stop making faulty assu,ptions about what I think. I’ll respond soon… :)

More GOP CRUD
always seems to be white male supporters of trump

Ok, I admit I sole this from a posting in one of my forums, because it deserves circulation. The Fox News version, they love this Barbie. 🥸

EV owners in Texas saddled with $200 per year usage fee. Fair? I’d have to say on principle yes, especially as a state without state income tax, to replace lost fuel taxed revenues. Thoughts? texastribune.org/2023/08/21/te

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @foolishowl @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @mloxton I assume that you took critiques directed that anarchy as support of capitalism. Not the case.

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @foolishowl @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @mloxton you definitely got the wrong opinion about me. Capitalism has one goal profits. Everything else is secondary. Millions of jobs exported, the middle class, decimated, domestic markets weakened, the environment harmed, democracy threatened all for $$$. I doubt it will survive automation, and AI.

@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @foolishowl @RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @mloxton Rest assured I am critical of Capitalism, I’m just not sold on anarchy as an alt…yet. 😊 This is not said as a trolling statement, but how do you regard Trump bottom feeders? Are they his suckers or could they be disgruntled anarchists delighted by the prospect of him tearing down the the system? The issue would be fascism, not anarchy as an end result. 🤔

@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @mloxton @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @foolishowl @RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social in my example were they also coerced by the farmers in the area who offered employment at lower pay rates?

You know one thing I could live without ever seeing in a headline again? Any variation of

“People of color are at greater risk of ____”

or

“____ affects ethnic minorities substantially more than any other group.”

Because I’m now at the point where whenever a new pathogen hits the States or a new economics or education study is published, I’ve almost come to expect it and I’m just about never wrong.

@soc_i_ety@mstdn.ca there is a trend, i can’t say billions.

@JRBuckley she ain’t no Christian. Let’s find a new label that includes Faux, pseudo, corrupted, fake, evil, hypocrite, bigot, satanic, intolerant, racist, Fool’d Ya, etc. 🤬

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @mloxton @foolishowl I’m just observing. You assume I don’t think myself as a sheep. It depends on how the term is defined. The “occupying force” good or bad, are those that seize the world and bend it to their will. The sheep let it happen because they are not similarly driven or not motivated. As the world burns more will get motivated and shake off sheep status. 🤔

@soc_i_ety@mstdn.ca And soon we may see a huge breakdown with billions dead and everyone left alive will be miserable. …just one of several possibilities.🤔

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @mloxton @foolishowl put anarchy on the ballot and see how many votes you get.🤔 This is by no means a people have their shit together argument, they don’t. I think we as a species are screwed. And I’m a pessimist who does not regard anarchy as some kind of magic billet that will save us, not regarding emissions and global warming.

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @i_dabble@strangeobject.space @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @mloxton @foolishowl this is a terrible format to have this discussion. People are people, many are sheep, some are inspired and under the system that exists make themselves wealthy and powerful. Why? Sheep. Most people seem to prefer private land ownership, something you can call your own. We are way beyond large communes. Even there, there is hierarchy and power.

In a headline
the newspaper of record declared
that “COVID
Didn’t Take a Summer Vacation”
which is quite true
but unfortunately
far too many newspapers
took a summer vacation
from covering the virus.
