The #EpsteinFiles prove that #Brexit was a billionaire plan to get richer as the #UK collapses.
"It certainly looks like Jeffrey Epstein conspired with well-known billionaires to undermine democratic institutions and enrich themselves at everyone else’s expense."
Often I find interesting threads on Bluesky like these about naming #species in #science.
#Palaeontologist Natalia Jagielska (left Mastodon in 2023) posts a collection of founders of modern #paleontology, and their contributions to systemic #racism #classism and #sexism https://bsky.app/profile/nataliajagielska.bsky.social/post/3mdv2agabac2u
Author Riley Black adds one about the (bad) modern conditions and money: https://bsky.app/profile/restingdinoface.bsky.social/post/3mdvag7vw422o
We shouldn't name species after people.

But I'm not saying everyone needs to contribute to FNB, I'm using it as an example to counter the idea that veganism is classist or that it doesn't take into account the material interests of colonized peoples.
They said I wanted non-white people to starve, vegan food being cheaper and more effective at feeding poor people directly counters this idea
"I don’t want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people who own their homes. You can be sure that will happen."

Trump says it out loud, but let's not kid ourselves: All parties and politicians worldwide who accept donations from large corporations and the rich do so.
To them, we are nothing but slaves to be exploited and it is okay for them to sent us to deaths for their luxury. Best example: #Gaza.

The #WorldEconomicForum in #Davos, all the oligarchs there and the media who present what is discussed there as serious economic policy instead of explaining that this is a meeting of a right-wing extremist elite murdering people, are the enemies of the working class in all countries.

Analysis: why Trump's second term has been so crazy
Matt McManus
Trump's second administration has a lot more extreme policies, & a lot might seem random.
But, while Trump himself "has never read much of anything, if you've read a lot of right wing political theory & religious theology, you can actually understand a lot of what he's been up to."

When it comes to getting at least close to all my basic needs & wants met in a degoogled smartphone setup, I've got basically the blackberry #Key1 or Key 2, or #Unhertz titan with at least #PostMarketOS with those options having a $200-600 price range, most being $400-500.
Or #Motorola phones and a separate mini keyboard, with #Calyx or #PostmarketOS, with a $70- $700 price range, most being under $250.
On #smartphones heavier for me is always better, so if as I suspect the cheaper option is also heavier, that's another selling point for it.
When an $800-900 item & setup is inferior to a $70- $250 one, this isn't anywhere near a matter of my being too picky, but rather a matter of the ridiculousness of insisting that everyone has the same exact needs!
@jaykuo #Classism is just as visceral and hateful and irrational as racism and sexism. It's a gut-level hatred of the poor and working class: they don't deserve happiness, health, dignity, etc. A seething hatred of people who aren't rich is *normal* in your society and mine. That's a form of bigotry, and it's long past time we all admit that.
NB: I am *not* talking about white men in factories when I say "the working class" by the way.
If you happen to believe that people ought to be able to act on instinct (greed, hostility, etc.) rather than informed empathy...
...please don't whine to your detested authorities - including your ma - when someone axes you because he doesn't like your look.
Note: Guys such as Musk & Thiel resent their mothers for not crowning them king. Or perhaps she did, & we're the ones suffering for it.

Politicians like you meet with big corporations all the time, discuss things in secret, make decisions together with big corporations about the lives of millions of people, and send them into poverty and illness for your own and their interests.
#Trump is just taking your practice to extremes.
The only thing that bothers you about this now is that you are on the other side of the door, too. Hypocrite!
