The arts are more valuable to humanity than dedicating oneself to a lifelong skill that our owner-parasite class happens to fancy that month.

@JOConnor_AK @AzPetrich I'd rather colleges and students get that funding than to shower even more gifts on billionaires to prop up their fragile egos and further encourage them to waste all of everybody's lives... and labor... and sanity... And the environment...

@AzPetrich I’m unsure why I would want to gift colleges more money and waste 4 years of people’s lives.

I just want to point out.... The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.

It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.

“No one is forcing you to work at that job you hate.” This is the biggest multi-generational lie capitalism has ever claimed.

Western officials are like "Violence has no place in our society [bombs a school]. We've all got our differences and disagreements [sponsors a genocide], but it's important for us to find a way to make peace [starves a civilian population with siege warfare]."

If you sum up the last 20 years of the US-Iran relationship, it reads like this: US: Do not peruse nuclear weapons Iran: Ok we signed the nuclear proliferation treaty US: Too bad, you’re getting sanctioned Iran: Ok US: Stop pursuing nuclear weapons Iran: We’re not; we’re generating energy just like other countries. US: Sign a deal and have us inspect what you’re doing Iran: Ok, deal signed, inspectors welcome US: Too bad, deal canceled and you’re getting more sanctions Iran: Ok US: Stop pursuing nukes or else Iran: Look, we did everything you’ve asked US: Too bad, we’re gonna bomb you anyway. That girl school looks like a good target *BOOM* Israel: *bombs Iran Iran: *defends itself Israel: “The evil regime of Iran is targeting our civilians” US: “Iran is cutting heads off babies”

@vacantvesselsc @RhythmDAPROOT @HorrorGorl We didn't have to pay rent while hunting and gathering 🤷‍♂️

@RhythmDAPROOT @HorrorGorl Because we didn’t live in a society when we hunted and gathered!?!?

NO FUCKING LIES DETECTED!!

By hitting the Gandhi Hospital in Tehran today, the United States has now deliberately bombed medical centers in 15 different countries since 1945. Those countries are: Iran 🇾🇪 Yemen 🇸🇾 Syria 🇱🇾 Libya 🇮🇶 Iraq Yugoslavia 🇸🇩 Sudan 🇸🇴Somalia 🇬🇩 Grenada 🇸🇻 El Salvador 🇳🇮 Nicaragua 🇻🇳 Vietnam 🇰🇭 Cambodia 🇱🇦 Laos 🇰🇵🇰🇷 Korea mintpressnews.com/us-bombing-hos…

If you can fund war, you can fund healthcare. If you can fund war, you can fund housing. If you can fund war, you can feed the hungry. The money exists. Compassion just isn’t the priority. What sad times we are in!

The top 1% stole tens of trillions from us- they must be taxed accordingly to return that back to the people. I don’t think you guys understand how much wealth they are not only hoarding from the rest of society, but actively weaponizing it to make our lives worse.

A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn’t have a budget issue—it has a values issue.

It's not just double standards; it's a blatant attitude where the West kills whomever they want, wherever and however they please, but if others do something similar or even get accused without proof, they're condemned for life. If Israeli-American🇮🇱🇺🇸 special services have the right to assassinate nuclear☢️ scientists on Iranian🇮🇷 territory, does that mean everyone else can do the same? Logically, one would have to say yes, it does. We have plenty of adversaries around the world, so does this mean Russia🇷🇺 has the right to act in the same way and can do so? I think the Americans and Israelis are granting us that very right.

War is the worst thing in the world. Westerners talk about it like it's a fucking video game, like "hurr durr, we just go in there and achieve our objectives and win," when really war means shredding human bodies to bits. Children burning to death in front of their parents. People holding their own guts in their hands as their life slowly slips away. People getting trapped under rubble and dying excruciatingly slow deaths of suffocation or dehydration. People picking up pieces of their beloved family members. Westerners are able to hold this compartmentalized video game mentality about war because war isn't something that happens to us. We've never had bombs dropped on our neighborhoods. We've never had the experience of seeing a severed hand on the ground after an explosion and trying to figure out who it belonged to. We've never had the experience of seeing our child's shredded body after a blast and thinking about how we'd carefully helped them dress that precious body for school just hours before. We just see the movies. The propagandistic war documentaries. The sanitized news reports. It's not real to us. It's not personal. It's just this cutesy Hollywood image of sexy Good Guys doing flips and spin-kicking evil Bad Guys off cliffs. You know this is true, because if it wasn't then nobody would support US wars. If westerners had an actual, visceral understanding of what war really is and what it actually means, and if they could truly, deeply grasp that the people on the receiving end of those airstrikes are human beings just like them, there's no way they'd support inflicting such nightmares upon their fellow man. Which is why everything in our civilization is aimed at hiding that reality from us. War is made to look heroic and glamorous. Middle easterners are framed as deranged subhuman savages. The flesh-and-bone consequences of western warmongering are hidden from public view as much as possible. They need to do this because the western empire depends on war. War is the glue that holds the empire together. They need the mass-scale bloodshed to continue, and they need the public to provide no resistance to the bloodshed. The empire cannot exist without war. Peace cannot exist without the removal of the empire. You watch these bespectacled pundits and pampered politicians babbling about war the way they'd talk about their plans for a kitchen renovation or a trip to Paris, and you just know if actual war ever showed up on their doorstep they'd literally soil themselves. They'd never recover. They'd spend the rest of their lives in shock and trauma, because what they saw would have shaken them irreparably to their very core. It would impact them in this way because war is the worst thing in the world. Anyone with a functioning empathy center and a truth-based worldview would move mountains to prevent war from happening. And yet we are ruled by sociopaths who actively seek it out. War is the worst thing in the world, and we are ruled by the worst people in the world. The world will never know peace until we cease to allow such creatures to rule over us.

@lisakeb007 @Freimster @ubi_works Also, personal computing Ask people how they feel about the performance regressions in Windows 11, and how much it costs now to build / purchase a new computer versus a decade ago. Also, ask people (who do not own Nvidia stock) what AI tech has done to make their lives better.

@lisakeb007 @Freimster @ubi_works - Affordable / free housing for all - Affordable / free medical care for all - Eliminating hunger - Clean drinking water (USA...) - Space exploration - Crumbling road and telecom infrastructure (USA) - Electric vehicle tech stagnation (USA) - Movies are all reboots / sequels

Ireland's basic income pilot for artists worked so well they made it permanent. The economic growth it generated paid back more than its net cost, study shows. How many people are being held back from their potential because they're living bill-to-bill? UBI is true freedom.

@lisakeb007 @Freimster @ubi_works We've already given up as a civilization because market leaders decided that advancement is not profitable. Running a civilization where the health and advancement of said civilization are secondary to the profit motive (the whims of a few hundred sociopaths) is ass-ended.

@Chall_Rajni @Freimster @ubi_works Then just give up, live on benefits and achieve nothing unless the State decides you deserve it

@lisakeb007 @Freimster @ubi_works You are a slave to the market, which itself is dominated by large corps that pretend to not be monopolies.

@Freimster @ubi_works You always have the option to work for yourself....then you are a slave to noone

They launched a live-streamed genocide in full view of the entire world. They're openly targeting civilian populations with siege warfare in Iran and Cuba in full view of the entire world. They openly kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation in full view of the entire world. They deliberately provoked a horrific and dangerous proxy war in Ukraine in full view of the entire world. They spent years actively backing Saudi Arabia's monstrous genocidal atrocities in Yemen in full view of the entire world. They're plundering and exploiting the resources and labor of the global south in full view of the entire world. They're killing the biosphere we all depend on for their own enrichment in full view of the entire world. They engage in nuclear brinkmanship and wave around armageddon weapons like pistols in full view of the entire world. People go homeless and die of exposure while billionaires buy private islands and choose the next president in full view of the entire world. Weapons manufacturers lobby for wars and then profit from the death and destruction they cause in full view of the entire world. The president of the United States has repeatedly admitted to being bought and owned by the world's richest Israeli in full view of the entire world. The US Treasury Secretary has been repeatedly admitting that the US deliberately sparked the violence and unrest in Iran by methodically immiserating the population via economic warfare, in full view of the entire world. I keep seeing people freaking out and asking how it's possible that the individuals in the Epstein files haven't been arrested for their secret nefarious behavior. And I always want to ask them, mate, have you seen the nefarious behavior they're engaging in right out in the open? Pay attention to the Epstein files. Pay attention to what little we can learn about how these freaks conduct themselves behind closed doors. By all means, pay close attention to these things. But don't forget to also pay attention to the far greater evils they are inflicting in full view of the entire world.

Why does the us empire refuse to improve the material conditions of its own citizens? Short answer: because the US empire isn’t designed to improve the material conditions of its own people. It’s designed to extract value—for capital—at home and abroad. Everything else is PR.
