AnarchoNinaWritesI mean I don't like rich people. I think I warned you about that.
Naw man, lots of people know it, but they don't live it; it's not in their bones, it doesn't color how they see the world, or influence most of their actions. Michelle Alexander talks about this in regard to systemic racism and white liberal awareness; you can "know" the system is systemically white supremacist without ever acting like it or on it - a luxury afforded by skin-privilige in this case.
I know every billionaire on Earth has more bodies on him (sometimes her) then a pauer's cemetary and it's in my bones. I can't think about billionaires, without thinking about those dead bodies so there is no way in hell I'm ever casting a vote for Steyer or a member of the Pritzker family. It doesn't matter very much to me what they say.
And this goes way further than just "voting." I think these people should be dragged in front of tribunals. I dunno what else to say. I know it, in my bones
Maybe, one day, after getting duped over and over and over by rich people who think they are "more equal" than you, you'll luck into a good one - but I fucking promise you he or she ain't saving you from capitalism. And the math says you're chickens voting for KFC.
cauZation@AnarchoNinaWrites Chickens voting for KFC, your goose is cooked.
Yep, Capitalism is on a precipitous fall, making more room for a Democratic Socialism Revolution ...
But perhaps only in emerging economies, in developing countries. The US may very well be all-done.
Nu Modular@cauZation That's what I advise those with kids to do - look to smaller developing countries, like some of the ones that are currently benefiting from The Belt and Road Initiative in The Global South, before they have to face monarchy or duopoly choices and stay more socially democratic, with multiple parties.
Squeezing power into an unsustainable space is obsolete, in politics, and power hierarchies in general.
@numodular The exact opposite is also true: casually letting immense power, into too large a space, is also a 'path to Hell'.
@cauZation Truer words...
