Rob ZazuetaJust a reminder: If you pay your federal taxes, you are implicitly supporting the war in Iran - and all the other fucked up shit this administration does.
Your protests don't mean shit if you're still supporting this illegitimate regime in any way.
When decisions are made to optimize for people over profits, the structure of most of our work changes.
Local economies become more important. Trade between communities remains important, but evens out a bit as our concept of value shifts.
The system we live in is young - it's maybe only twice as old as I am - so there's no reason to believe it must continue forever.
Take your life back from these assholes and use it to build something better.
There are three Americas:
- The people (who, really, are properly called "Americans")
- The land (as defined by recognized borders)
- The government.
The first two of these are beautiful and worth defending.
The last one needs to go.
Immediately.
"California is the most unfriendly state to do business in."
Which is why its GDP outpaces the rest of America and is listed around seventh in the world.
These perverts can all go fuck themselves with their lies.
Good piece in the Atlantic (I know!) about the US's failure in holding its elites accountable:

It's a fine summary of their crimes against humanity. May keep it as a reference.
But it's an otherwise useless piece.
Yet another journalist listing the terrible things happening while providing no ideas for recourse to fix any of them.
There is a solution, of course.
#GeneralStrike that becomes a #PermanentStrike
Knock these perverts out of power forever.
This site makes a case I've been considering for a while now - that the current US administration is basically a puppet government for techno-oligarchs.

While we're all focused on Trump and Epstein, Thiel and his morbid band of ghouls are replacing public infrastructure with private suveillance.
And I guarantee you the Dems - should they win - will do nothing to tear this down.
No politician will save you.
We are on our own.
No politician or corporate leader or religion figure or anyone else will change this.
Power will always support power.
Power relies on supremacy, and supremacists will always put each other first.
They know it;s unnatural, so they work overtime to protect their vile ideology.
They regularly lie, cheat, steal, rape, murder, and commit pedophilia.
And we just awe about it in the news while WE STILL GO TO WORK FOR THEM.
WHAT
THE
ACTUAL
FUCK,
PEOPLE?
Is American politics a pendulum?
Or are we rats in a cage just running back and forth between two sides, desperate to get out?
Break the cage.
Representative Democracy === Oligarchy
American democracy is a lie. Always has been.
Want to actually "fight" for democracy?
Fight for local determination.
Fight for bottom-up instead of top-down power structures.
Fight for the value you create with your labor to stay in your community instead of being distributed to wealthy asshole perverts.
Anything else is acquiescence.
Anything that doesn't address these issues is worthless.
The only things industry produces on its own are slaves and indentured servants.
Everything else is produced by people.
Ditch industry and start putting people first.
