The Earth was fully stocked: water to drink, soil to grow food, forests to shelter us, a sun that rises every day, a moon that moves water, and oceans that regulate the climate. Then, men invented war, debt and capitalism.
America is a police state where you can get more prison time for being a member of a fake organization than you do for being involved in a literal pedophilic human trafficking ring
Hong Kong lawmaker Dominic Lee brilliantly exposes the hypocrisy and decay of the West:
“What moral authority does the U.S., a country ruled by the Epstein class, have over my country which has lifted 800 million people out of poverty?
What moral authority do NATO countries have who preach human rights while turning a blind eye to the Zionist genocide in Gaza?
We will not accept lectures by governments that use human rights as weapons while their own hands are stained with the blood of Palestinians and Iranians they choose to forget.”
@USArmyVetMatt “you can draw the conclusion that [the bottom 2%] are the sole reason for that oppression” only makes sense if you never question why those people feel the need to steal in the first place and chalk it up to “they think they’re entitled to it”.
@GIsaac47 The breakdown states 1% is Muslim, but I can’t imagine you think a candidate’s religion will be the deciding factor for a plurality of voting Michiganders. I know plenty of Christians who plan to vote for him.
Headlines are where the mendacity of Western mainstream media really comes through. It suggests that the legal status of Israeli settlements is an open question, open to debate.
In reality, the ICJ 19 July 2024 Advisory Opinion concluded that Israel's occupation of Palestine is unlawful and that the settlements violate international law.
It ruled that Israel must cease settlement activity and evacuate settlers.
The UNGA then endorsed the ICJ ruling on 19 September 2024 (A/RES/ES-10/24).
There is no debate. No open question. The settlements and the occupation are illegal.
For Reuters to pretend otherwise is to directly undermine international law.
@McDoogles2Cents No, actually the LLM shit we call “AI” was built by a vague public collective using the vast expanse of knowledge and art we’ve all utilized over the last ~30+ years. Now, it’s a Trojan horse for an even more robust surveillance and police state.
@IntelNewsNet If you don’t know the difference between “apart” and “a part”, you shouldn’t be calling anyone else a retard. You don’t even need a disastrous, unpopular data center to learn that those are opposite terms. Now, stop eating glue.
@belbers@MrTest310@xcolinjacksonx Rich people becoming richer by further exploiting natural resources and underpaid labor is a dismal way to measure what it means to ‘flourish’ economically. You’re fucken stupid, Brandon.
Michigan holds nearly 20% of the world’s fresh surface water, a sacred trust we are obligated to protect for future generations. That is not negotiable.
So let me be blunt: Governor Whitmer smiling for photos with Sam Altman while handing over Michigan’s water and energy to his data centers is a betrayal of every family that depends on these resources. This isn’t economic development, it’s a sweetheart deal for a Silicon Valley billionaire at Michigan taxpayers’ expense.
AI data centers consume millions of gallons of water and massive amounts of electricity.
Who pays the price? Michigan families, farmers, and communities.
Who pockets the profits? Out-of-state tech oligarchs who will never have to live with the consequences.
I am running for Congress because Michigan’s water, land, and energy belong to the people of Michigan, not to the billionaire class and not to politicians who roll out the red carpet for them.
We will not subsidize the exploitation of our most precious natural resources so the ultra-wealthy can grow even richer.
Enough. Michigan is not for sale.
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?
