I am massive proponent of universal basic income, and rather than fumbling through my reasons why below is a clip that not only does this better than I ever could but gives an anarchistic viewpoint on the subject. Start with this.
I got excited about the below last night, it’s a great step in the right direction. Whilst I cannot wrap my head around the fact that this isn’t the damn case everywhere and that this is even up to debate, let’s give everyone that worked on this a big fucking high-five and then push some more.
That’s all the good news I have for the day because this senile MF’er really has cranked up his bullshit propaganda gears these last few days, however, this message really got my blood boiling. I do not, for one second, believe he actually believes any of the bullshit he spews but is simply stepping into his performative role as the lead actor in the usual great game of “let’s fuck up everyone and get rich doing so”. What is the difference between the below and MAGA? What “America” is referring to? The war-mongering, imperialistic, coup-throwing destabilizing freedom fighting machine? The racist but we are not racist police state? The “the dow-jones hit 30k points while millions of people are hungry, jobless, facing eviction and are dying in a pandemic because masks are socialism” America? The gaslighting is already happening on a scale not even witnessed during the Obama years. Obviously, this bullshit tweet was followed up with a commitment to police the world again, and hey, 50+ percent may have voted for this racist fuck in the US, but the rest of the world would like a word as well. If you think the last 4 years have been tough, and they were, these next four will be even more so because this bullshit cult will attack us even more than the MAGA crowd did.
This is our world on capitalism. I read a little more into this below story and the fuck me sideways, yes, this is real and this is what our politicians and media are celebrating daily. A financial system - that definition of our stock market is an oxymoron - that punishes a company for doing what is morally correct. This needs to go. Quick.
Lastly, the pandemic, once again. I have given up hope trying to understand what is happening in the US politically and socially but let’s be really clear about this. With Thanksgiving kicking off the holiday season this weekend I fear for the worse, as if 260K dead isn’t horrific enough already. Germany, and the rest of Europe did try to out-dumb all of that over the last couple of days though, politically for now. As some of you may know we have been in another lockdown since the beginning of November as the second wave crashed hard here, case numbers are insanely high and people are dying. It’s just been decided that out lockdown will continue through December BUT come Christmas and New Year, all rules will be suspended and we can essentially do as we wish. That is nothing but a suicide pact for the sake of political power, as we, and much of the rest of Europe will have General Elections come mid 2021. My mind continues to be blown by the rampant greed for political capital.
