Yes, #freesoftware is #commongood and if our community doesn't care for it, some trade union will pick it up. And trade unions are greedy: their goal is the profit of their owners, not the common good. #OurChoicesOurFuture
A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
In the future world the misuse of power, as implied in the term “power politics,” must not be a controlling factor in international relations. That is the heart of the principles to which we have subscribed. We cannot deny that power is a factor in world politics any more than we can deny its existence as a factor in national politics. But in a democratic world, as in a democratic Nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
Message (1945-01-06) to Congress, Annual Message (State of the Union)

What is the purpose of all the racist theatre cultivated by right wing politicians?
It’s not a strategy to recover votes.
ITS PURPOSE IS TO DISTRACT FROM THE NEED TO REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH. Alex Fein nails it, 45 min in.
As it was with #scott, as it is with #donald, as has always been with #angus & #barnaby, the circus is the end in itself 🤡🎡🎪. Every time we give these hucksters attention as ‘news’ we validate the strategy & support the interests of the fossil fuel industries that own them.
And still our media are all about ‘Donald said’, ‘Angus said’ 🥱. The political model is #clickbait. They use it bc for a while, it works.
Surely we’re smarter than this.
On the messy death of neoliberalism, nostalgia for a time when wealth was less polarised, & political agency to be gained by cultivating a culture of joy. Unusually hopeful episode today from the #SundayShot.

"We must work as one people for our common good and our common goals."
Harold Washington
"It’s not so much that there’s 50-something percent of the country that is committed to Trumpism. But there’s just a huge amount of the country that is not doing well—and I mean that in an emotional way, I mean that in a political way, civically."

"If we don’t take seriously some of these more underlying problems—that we are a deeply isolated and lonely and distrustful country that is focused on material wellbeing and status and is more dislocated and civically apathetic than maybe we’ve ever been—we’re going to get more Trumps, because that’s just fertile breeding ground for people like him."
