This is just obviously false. The people who feed, clothe, and fuel the world get paid scraps, and die at 45 in a sweatshop or mine, while celebrity "influencers" and hedge-fund managers who produce nothing of any worth get vast fortunes. Who do you think you're fooling?
This chart just seems to indicate that capital extracts exponentially more surplus value from workers in highly productive industries than in lower productivity sectors. In any case, the proxy data is fictive. In our economic system, an executive’s "measured output" is not a reflection of their personal physical or intellectual labor. The thing of "worth" they produce is downstream from the aggregated labor of literally everyone else beneath them.
Jeffries naming Moskowitz — one of the most pro-Israel Democrats — as ranking member of HFAC’s Middle East subcommittee tells you *everything* you need to know about Dem party leaders’ preferred plan for dealing with their base’s fury at Israel (ignore it, maybe it’ll go away)
@RepMoskowitz House Democrats giving a giant middle finger to the base, appointing one of the most racist, Islamophobic, pro-war AIPAC-backed representatives as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa. Abhorrent.
@RepMoskowitz Sounds like it's time to field third party candidates on the Left and split the vote. You traitorous genocidal creeps must be kept from power.
@shannonrwatts There is no distinction between Islamophobic Zionist hatemongers who are Democrats and those who are Republicans insofar as moral responsibility for support of a genocidal foreign entity is concerned. Micah needs to get voted out.
Micah, your Zionism comes at the expense of Palestinian lives. So it's irrelevant what Zionism means to you or to other Jews around the world, or how you feel about it. To me and to every Palestinian, Zionism is the expulsion of my grandparents from their home in Tiberias. It's the killing of over 100,000 people. It's the daily humiliation that decides whether Palestinians eat, move, or live. That is what Zionism means to us, every single day.
Some folks go out of their way to separate the Jewish people from the State of Israel so that Israel's crimes aren't pinned on Jews (and they shouldn't be!). Yet somehow you insist on conflating the two.
The only person collapsing all Jews into a monolith is you, by insisting that Jewish identity is inextricably bound to the military apparatus of a foreign ethnostate. Human beings have agency and can choose to support or oppose a violent state apparatus that has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. It is entirely reasonable to hold any person morally accountable for the consequences of such choices.
Hakeem Jeffries tweeting about Hasan Piker
but nothing about the voter suppression decision made today by Trump's crooked Supreme Court
is exactly why this goofball should not be the Speaker of the House.
There are real threats to address,
and you are not addressing them, Hakeem.
do not let a coordinated republican smear campaign become “reality.” my argument against the dangerous false conflation between zionism and judaism which in turn increases antisemitism is now turned on it’s head. zionism is not judaism. antizionism is not antisemitism.
Good God, you are such a cowardly traitor. At this point it's quite honestly better to vote for anyone other than a Zionist Democrat. We need to send the message that there is a price for spreading this libelous hysteria that has presented a grave danger to people at home and, of course, lent support to war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine.
its pretty wild that his first thought was a prominent critic of israel, before even thanking his constituents lmao. really worried about his genocidal emotional support apartheid state.
@JaredEMoskowitz@hasanthehun My condolences to the people of Florida that the democratic candidate is a scummy traitor loyal to the bloodthirsty and genocidal Zionist settler colony in Palestine instead of to the American people
