  • We wouldn’t even need to do that…

    Money is an abstract concept that would fundamentally change in a post scarcity world.

    If enough people said money doesn’t matter, the number tied to bank accounts stop mattering.

    Musk could have 50 trillion dollars, but those dollars are only worth what we agree they are. We could just say their worth zero and Musk doesn’t have rights to anything he “owns”. It’s literally that easy.

    The wealthy don’t abide by the social contract, yet you’re so stuck on it you don’t understand the only thing binding us to the parts the wealthy exploit, is ourselves and we can just fucking stop.



  • At a joint news conference on Sunday, Col Perez said investigators did not think the person detained was the same person identified in CCTV footage of the suspect that was released on the day of the attack. The BBC has chosen to stop naming the person who has now been released.

    In the footage, the suspect can be seen walking away from the scene wearing all black clothing.

    Following the release of the footage, FBI director Kash Patel had said that a person of interest was detained at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island in the early hours of Sunday morning based on a lead from Providence Police.

    Col Perez had then confirmed that officers were not looking for anyone else and were working with prosecutors to collect evidence.

    Sooooo…

    They don’t have any evidence, but they’ve already made up their minds this person is guilty and they aren’t looking for any other suspects?!




  • Don’t have to get very far to get to the part where it’s far right douches trying to slow walk people to racism…

    Indeed, federalists are far from being a politically homogenous group. Several meme warriors told me that there is an ideological battle ongoing in the dank recesses of federalist Reddit subgroups and chatrooms between broadly centrist people who believe in boosting the power of existing Brussels institutions, and far-right people who hate Brussels but nonetheless want Europe to assert itself on the world stage. The big divider is identity politics and migration policy: far-right groups tend to envision Europe as a culturally and ethnically homogenous “empire” — read, white and Christian, preferably Catholic — that keeps foreigners out.

    Saying “only white Christians are European, and everyone else shouldn’t be here” is not, and has never been, just “identity politics”.

    It sounds like neoliberals and racists are both fighting over who gets to be called “center right”…
