Someone on here said to me recently, there are no happy endings, only sad beginnings.
We're in a sad beginning moment.
We built some really beautiful stuff, but we built it on a foundation of sand and it is rapidly washing away.
We can and should mourn, but we also need to learn, plan, and organize.
That's how we turn moments of loss into moments of growth. Always.
The wealthy don't want to eliminate poverty, they just want to be seen like they're doing it.
See the millions spent annually on DAVOS, with nothing to show for it.
See how many wealthy assholes fell for "Effective Altruism" --which of course turned out to be nothing but more grift.
Tax the motherfucking billionaires, force them to pay good wages, and let us have universal healthcare that works.
People trying to decide between Post.News and Mastodon:
"My eyeballs were sold to a new master, who I don't like. Do I offer my eyeballs to a new master I might like better or do I join free people who seem to enjoy not having to sell their eyeballs at all?"
What lesson are you going to learn from this debacle?
