Normally, when sharing an article, I try to pick one or two quotes that I feel are worth highlighting.
This article simply contains too many. I can only implore everyone to read this.
It doesn't stop. It is mind boggling. And it is unforgivable.

“The wealth of the world’s 3,000 billionaires has surged by $6.5tn (£4.8tn) in real terms over the past decade, according to Oxfam, equivalent to 14.6% of global output”
Capitalism is shit.It is by the rich for the rich and destroys everything else in the process. Let’s keep saying it!

"It may be precisely because the new imperialism has no clear and finite objectives that it requires such massive military force; boundless domination of a global economy, and of the multiple states that administer it, requires military action without end, in purpose or time."
from 'Empire of Capital' by Ellen Meiksins Wood

> On November 28th, 2012, Randall Munroe published an xkcd comic that was a calendar in which the size of each date was proportional to how often each date is referenced by its ordinal name (…) "In months other than September, the 11th is mentioned substantially less often than any other date. It's been that way since long before 9/11 and I have no idea why." After digging into the raw data, I believe I have figured out why.
We shared a short update on the main (non-technical) priorities for our team this year.

More important words, this time from Molly White's Citation Needed.
> “Nobody cares.”
“It doesn’t matter, he’s never going to face consequences.”
“What does it matter, no one’s going to do anything about it.” ...expressions of a much broader resignation I’m seeing on- and offline: That caring is somehow naive. That documenting the truth is pointless. That hope is for fools.
> Let me be clear: **It fucking matters.** Truth matters. Documentation matters. Fighting corruption matters. That accountability seems out of reach right now doesn’t change that. When we internalize the belief that nothing can change, we stop demanding change. When we accept corruption as normal, we stop fighting it. [...] giving up on the very idea that truth and morality matter is not just cynicism, it’s surrender.
When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.
