Ohne es zu ahnen, hatten die Menschen mit dem “Thermomix” einen Grundstein für die Roboter-Vorherrschaft gelegt, indem sie sich selbst nach und nach an den Gedanken gewöhnten, sogar freudig das zu tun, was Maschinen ihnen diktierten.
Dieses Denkmuster wurde durch Belohnung mit Futter positiv verstärkt.

@crk5

Comparing actual people with parasites was always a path to inhumanity

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 However this lacks an important distinction: Referring to billionaires as parasites implies that they are parasites because of their status as billionaires; 'removing' such 'parasites' from the economy thus refers to ensuring they are no longer as wealthy, not that they irredeemably inhuman.
@PursuitOfElysia @expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 Good point. 🤔 I still need time to decide, which is the right alternative.
@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 Could look at it as not being the people that's the problem but their wealth. Remove the cash and they're still people and still very much alive. Now if it was advocating killing billionaires then there'd be something to that comparison.

@nini @crk5

My point here is that is always was and is aa psychological tactic of Nazis to dehumanify groups to make it easier to hate them.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 I'm aware of their tactics, the billionaire class though are only being asked to pay some of their stolen wealth back, no dehumanisation beyond their own actions making them inhuman as no billionaire should exist.

@nini @crk5

there are actual ppl on the screen?

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @nini @crk5 it's worth noting that there's a distinction to be made here. Billionaires are not a "group" in the sense you are referencing.

This is not a cohesive social group with inherent shared physical or cultural characteristics. These are distinct individuals, who are being categorised purely by a shared set of choices to harm others.

It is dangerous to conflate these different classification frameworks, and apply argumentation from one onto another.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @nini @crk5 This is not to say that I disagree with your underlying point about dehumanisation, but simply the argumentation you're applying.

Dehumanising even an *individual* is generally harmful, without any need to resort to some kind of social grouping.

I just don't think applying the framework of the dehumanisation of social groups is applicable here, and indeed I argue that it is, itself, harmful.

(I also cosign the points others made on parasitic wealth)

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @nini @crk5
In this case the psych effect is a side effect or unintended. Calling them parasites describes their dependence on the masses which is how they get to be billionaires. We don't need billionaires they need us
@nini @expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 Many take exactly that approach. I've seen mock guillotines in protests many times especially on Mayday
@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 Billionaires and AI bros are not vulnerable groups and they dehumanise millions daily, openly, unashamedly.

@krautdragon @crk5

So it is ok to do the same on a different scale?

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 Yes. 100%. I'm never gonna feel remorse about this. If these abusers don't wanna be called parasites they can stop parasiting.

I've been called Neanderthal, luddite, autistic retard by AI bros religiously defending these billionaires' little products made from sucking human blood and sweat. People are fodder in their treadmills without proper defenses. I genuinely dgaf if the symbolic mirror is "too harsh". It's out of proportion.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @krautdragon @crk5 Lets's use a real world example. Nazi Germany levellled several cities from rheir air and was beaten in their attempt to flatten London. When the war was over Berlin and most other German cities looked like Gaza today.

What comes around really does go around in this workd.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall

Fuck off.
Billionaires are not a powerless minority, they are actively parasiting on all other people by their own free will.
They can stop doing so at any time they want.

@Grutjes

Yes, they do.
And this is in no way ok.
Also, it is not ok to dehumanizate any human being.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @Grutjes
to quote the first definition wiktionary gives: "An organism that lives on or in another organism of a different species, deriving benefit from living on or in that other organism, while not contributing towards that other organism sufficiently to cover the cost to that other organism."

I think this is in no way dehumanizing in the context of billionaires. They are organisms that derive benefit from others without contributing anything to them.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @Grutjes
They are doing this _actively_. They _chose_ to bleed others dry.
This is very different from social security, where people require aid just to stay alive and be able to contribute to society. This is where the dehumanizing aspect comes into play. When you deny aid to those who require it or set conditions for your aid, you are not treating them like people.
Billionaires don't require your aid, they take more than they need already.

@ki @Grutjes

So you say those people on the screen are no humans.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @Grutjes
where the fuck did I say that?

@ki @Grutjes

„An organism that lives on or in another organism of a different species„

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @Grutjes
This is the first of many wiktionary definitions, as I said. Biological definitions usually don't make this distinction. While intraspecies parasites are rarer than intersperies parasites, they do exist. I hope that you know about cuckoos to give the most widely known example.

Hi @expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5,
you are right 99%, however here it's not them being part of a cohort and maybe being born into it.

It's for their personal merit of extracting value from masses of other, less wealthy people. They are an oxymoron to #Kant's imperative and thrive on unfairness.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @crk5 beeing a billionair ist their own decision. They can change their status.
@crk5 @animaux Last seen in #Edinburgh. Lovely straightforwardness! 👍🏻

@crk5 At the busstop of St Thomas' Hospital A&E Department a placard in a proper advertizing spot urges the reader to know their parasites:

Ticks are external parasites you remove with tweezers.

Worms are internal parasites you remove with medication.

And finally billionaires are economic parasites you remove with wealth tax.

"Immediate intervention is crucial for your health and the health of our communities", it reads next to an NHS logo.

#ALT4you

@iwein @crk5 You don't remove billionnaires by taxing them but by confiscating their wealth.
@iwein @crk5 That’s good - would retweet the original with that added as alt-text 😉

@imikotoba thank you for the feedback. If you want, you can boost just the alt reply, and sighted people can see the image with one click.

If you boost the original, and the first reply is the alt, I think it's a bearable experience for the visually impaired, but I am not certain of that.

I try to make the whole thing better for all without virtue signaling or ablism, which proves to be a difficult, useful, and enjoyable at times.

Thanks again for noticing and your help.

@crk5

Oh boy that ad is glorious!

@crk5 Absolutely brilliant!
@crk5 Barring that, guillotine.
@crk5 this is #hacktivism from the #everyonehateselon collective. For people who are not familiar with #London, the bus stop is at St Thomas', one of the best hospitals in the country, the one where #BorisJohnson was unfortunately cured of Covid after he'd said there was no issue going round wards without a mask on.
@crk5 Would be great to see this in other countries too. I cannot speak for anyone here, but I am simply tired of these billionaires, and the governments who believe them still - What we need is change; a real change and get rid of dependencies which made only the richest richer

@crk5

This is why the rich are donating, big time, to the far right.

They realise the biggest other solution, the real solution to the current problems start with taxing and regulating them. That frees up resources others need for building the fixes.

@crk5  Parasites are bad.

@crk5

There is... Another way....

@crk5 Seeing that on a JCDecaux panel is quite unexpected.

@crk5 Politicians literally live from what they take by force from people. Kinda ironic.
@crk5 I respect the dude who did this.
@crk5
all this in a JCDecaux billboard, nothing could have been so perfect 😈
@crk5 Wild that there are some folks here advocating for the well-being of actual Nazis. Block-deserving.

@crk5

Replace "wealth tax" with "nationalization" and you're got me hooked.

@crk5 did they leave out Peter Thiel because Palantir has a big contract with the NHS?
@klu9 @crk5 Also, I see only American billionaires - I highly doubt a British wealth tax is gonna affect them in any way 😉
@crk5 *remove with guillotine

@crk5

Yes! Tax them! But... it's not gonna happen - the wealthy own the politicians.
Why do you think most people rooted for Luigi? Because there is no hope. BTW, wishful thinking is not a strategy and the guy took things in his own hands. The result? The rich and powerful hired more private security.
Things are not gonna get better and the enshitification is real - no joke!
Voting is an illusion that people have a voice. We don't.
Enough, though. Peace and love to y'all! ;-)

@crk5 Call it moneypox.
