Comparing actual people with parasites was always a path to inhumanity
@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)
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.
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.
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.
@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.
@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.
Oh boy that ad is glorious!
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.
There is... Another way....
Replace "wealth tax" with "nationalization" and you're got me hooked.
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! ;-)
