Let’s put this another way: the richest oligarchs in the world have us working people paying their taxes, and their companies’ taxes, for them.

They don’t just rob workers and customers: they also rob taxpayers.

YES THAT WOULD BE NICE PAM

Hello.

This is my nth attempt at staying on #Mastodon, after leaving Meta, X, and related noise.

I work around (dual-use) #technology and #ethics, mostly from my hometown, #Barcelona, and sometimes from the Italian Alps (a long love story).

I don’t have a clear plan for what to do here.
Maybe existing, slowly, is already doing something.
Perhaps I’ll post occasionally — or not; who knows. I might leave again after a while.

I love #philosophy, sacred places, reading both digital and paper #books, and listening to #music — all day long.

Somewhere in between, a #catcow walks across the keyboard and takes partial control  

My mother tongue is #Catalan — English, Spanish, and Italian also happen here.

Time zone: CET.

If that resonates, welcome.

P. S. Much of this is typed on a neo-vintage phone, complete with a physical keyboard — for reasons.

#introduction

We are ruled by an Oligarchy of wealthy men who hide behind philanthropy while using religion and pseudoscience to keep the populace sick and stupid. This was the US from the 1880s, started facing resistance under Roosevelt I, and was destroyed under Roosevelt II and the New Deal.

We won’t get out of this unless we can break up Amazon, Google, Meta, Disney, et al. We won’t get out of this until we get an administration that can take bold steps to reign in the wealthy and restore public trust.
