Jesse Welles - The Poor

if you worked a little harder...

#JesseWelles #ThePoor #Folk #Music #Poverty #ClassWar #OpulentClass #PunchingDown #Media #Gaslighting #VictimShaming #DeathPanels #Homelessness #Starvation #Austerity #Exclusion

So husb + I just had conversation about #homelessness, cost of living, #mentalhealth, hopelessness and the #inhumanity that is raging out of control around the world.

"#Therich don't care about the poor anymore. They look after themselves and #thepoor can just go away and die for all they care" he says.

I reply "Nobody cares about ppl struggling anymore. How many ppl would give a friend $1000 or real-deal support if they needed it. We have a niece with 3 kids struggling on her own and you (my husb) don't help your own flesh and blood" .. but he knows I send $$$ over to UK for her.

So how many ppl DO really care? Do even help family or close friends? So how surprising is it the world is like it is? Meagre support for #NDIS community, the #aged, #homeless, #refugees, the helpless in #Ukraine, #Gaza...

We need to look at ourselves first if the world is to build HEART, not fear and loathing of others-not-like-us

My dumb believe 😪

(Derived from a previous response)

If you read #Marx #Kapital carefully, in particular with a math background and the #Grundrisse as support, you'll see that after a certain peak of innovation (automatization) the value behind commodities will collapse. Thus also the value of the most general commodity: #Money.

Unfortunately this is denied by those who call themselves #Marxists and thus liberals and further right can piss on it too. Even though #MichaelHeinrich gets the direction he all makes it wrong throughout.

Without money states cannot exist. When #Russia attacks #Ukraine, #Israel kills Kids or #US sends a carrier group to bomb defenseless people and armies, all this has one in common: They fight something strong but actually don't know what to fight.

They all feel the deterioration of statehood, but can neither quantify it nor locate the origins. But a state is composed in a way, that it has to survive.

Marx says, the capital is processing behind the back of the worker. This is a quick explanation where modern #antisemitism comes from. The personification of the decay of our salary in the person of an interest grabbing Jew.

The same way states do personification. Those who risks the states existence, are those who don't pay taxes, #ThePoor. It also correlates with the old enlightened bourgeoise believe, that being poor is caused by genetics and only extermination of the 'degenerates' could solve this issue. (or abstinence )

In fact, behind all this is nothing but a further failing #capital accumulation. This is the unfortunate fact that nobody even wants to listen to. People are way more enthusiastic about depicting a group of evil and exterminate them.

Unfortunately.

In 2006 there was a documentary about the massive buildup of police force throughout #EuropeanUnion. I say this bc. it was before the financial crisis.  A French professor concluded: In the future it might be, that some people might not be satisfiable by the state anymore. Those will fall off our society (!)

But those are not voluntarily dying away. Hence #Hamas and Co.

C'est ça.

This way of thinking is called #Wertkritik or #Wertabspaltungskritik

#ReformTheMedia : the widespread #publishing of #mugshots “leads to summary public #shaming, firings, diminished social status—all before a #trial has even taken place. In the age of SEO, it’s a form of #extrajudicial #punishment that largely harms #thepoor and people of color.”
