“The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor. However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way.” (George Monbiot)

Of course, it’s only come to this due to the lack of #taxReform , progressive social #legislation , and #FinancialRegulation action from all govt since the 2008 #GFC . #Neoliberalism ,#CorporateCapitalism and #Globalisation have been left unfettered to carry on this foolish race to the bottom.

> Trump is the ultimate Davos Man. As #RobertReich wrote, “.. after years of calling for responsible global #corporatecapitalism the CEOs gathering in Davos are now openly focusing on their bottom lines.. pretense is over. The blather about corporate social responsibility is revealed for what it really is and always has been — PR designed to make the public believe that big global corporations care about anything other than making as much money as possible, as soon as possible.”

@rbreich.bsky.social: "#CorporateCapitalism in the United States has always coexisted uneasily w/ #DemocraticCapitalism." It seems big corporations are winning.
This is an #Antichrist trend: averse to #equality & #fairness & gov't of, by, & for the people. https://bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Don't tell me you support work-life balance then send out multiple invitations in a week to zoom webinars that all take place outside of my shift. You know when we are on the clock. Anything work-related should only take place then.

@breadandcircuses

The world seems to be heading for "troubled times" with #CorporateCapitalism subjugating humanity, and #GlobalWarming intent on removing anything vaguely human related at all.

"Were Homo Sapiens Nature's Biggest Ever Evolutionary Blunder?"

Great title for a book.

@sdague @citizensclimate So, the wind blowing power lines started the fire in Maui?

Just imagine if we had a technology where you could generate power directly from the sun, without need of power lines stretching across HUGE areas.. maybe we could even put these on each rooftop! #mauifire #Corporatecapitalism

The Problem Isn't "#Woke #Capitalism"—Which Isn't a Thing—But #CorporateCapitalism

American politics have been #corrupted so much by #BigMoney that our #democracy cannot effectively deal with #environmental and #social concerns.

Highly recommended. By the singular, Grant Ennis. #Framing #CorporateCapitalism

2/2… they will buy garbage NFTs with their fiat, doing "#WhateverItTakes" as #JeromePowell so blatently says, in order to buy #ideologicalTime among the youth, for #corporateCapitalism.

But before you think of making some throwaway #digitalArt to get some free thousands, remember, #Cloudflare is watching.

Maybe NFTs, being only digital, are less damaging for the #environment than physical goods and services. However it the longterm, fiat does more damage than good.

Thanks to @dajbelshaw for pointing out one of the greatest articles I've read in a long time!

"they recontextualized this highly #psychedelic thing [#VR] with a very different #SetAndSetting:

Instead of the #counterculture #SetAndSetting and 'how we gonna connect together as people and design reality',

It was the #Internet SetAndSetting and 'how we gonna use this technology to extract value from people and places in order to grow the #stockmarket forever'.

We are living on a psychedelic substrate, with a SetAndSetting of extractive #CorporateCapitalism."
