❝ Capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evil. Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones.
The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital, the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population.
Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights. ❞

Quote attributed to Banksy put it best:
Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.
In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.
Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..
Wir wollten nur mal kurz sichergehen, dass alle das hier mitbekommen haben, ja?
Für die CSU ist die Klimabewegung Letzte Generation eine kriminelle Vereinigung. Nicht so für ihren Ex-Vorsitzenden: Erwin Huber spricht die Aktivisten vom Vorwurf frei, »Staatsfeinde« zu sein.
@SwiftOnSecurity In my hands is a signed launch-day Apple Vision. Looking up, Tim Cook is smiling at me. Everybody in the Apple Store is smiling.
I take off my Oculus. I am back in the keynote room. Mark Zuckerberg is smiling at me. I put the Oculus back on.
I hold the Apple Vision. Tim, Mark and everybody are smiling.
“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people.
But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind.
It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.
And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
