I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”
It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.
Common misconception. Social Security isn’t going away. What goes insolvent is the trust fund, which is basically the surplus reserve built up over decades. The program itself keeps running because it’s funded by ongoing payroll taxes. The problem is without that cushion, benefits have to be cut to match what’s coming in, around 20-23% reduction. Congress could fix it tomorrow if they wanted to. They just don’t.
I’m not even being hyperbolic when I say the US has completely given up on even the pretense of fighting to preserve the habitability of our planet. This goes even beyond politics. Culturally, you can see that Americans no longer care.
Gotta say capitalism is remarkably fucking resilient. This country is about to mint a trillionaire. There’s mass unemployment and the price of everything is sky high. Higher education is out of reach for all but the few while mass layoffs are happening everywhere. The entire stock market is a giant bubble of fake incestuous capital. And yet day to day life chugs along. It’s really mind bending.
Weaponizing blackness to defend AI as if it hasn’t already been used to racially profile Black people and poison Black communities is pathetic, but what else should I expect from this man?
There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.
They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.
They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.
Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?
I don’t think it’s okay to sexualize fictional children the same way I don’t think it’s acceptable to be misogynistic towards fictional women. I do think the way you interact with fiction can say a lot about your perception of the real world
@306CA5VD@ShaunDucky@kiboune_tweets@Grummz So to be clear, you are saying that the Halo video game franchise is intended to be some sort of involuntary birth control plot by turning people bi, yes?
