“The president golfed in Florida Saturday and planned to do so again Sunday, the White House said.”

one might say, hypothetically , perhaps the next mass demonstration needs to be 20,000 protesters marching onto the golf greens in formation and providing this wannabe dictator piece of shit scumbag with feedback directly from his constituents.

I think you’re onto something… Thiel and the billionaires who bankrolled JD Vance knew exactly what they were doing when they made a deal with Trump for the VP seat.

tinfoil hat time: they will keep Trump for as long as he serves them, then it’s 25th amendment time, and then theyll have their boy JD in power. even if it’s only the remaining term, it’ll be long enough to get the pieces into play for their ancap fantasies of a balkanized USA, with different CEOs over regional corporate fiefdoms.

opposition party? these motherfuckers may as well be on the same goddamn team.

it’s so much more than stocks. stocks are mostly vibes and short term get rich schemes for already wealthy people. they’re Pokemon cards for the finance class, creating almost nothing tangibly beneficial to society. hype and FUD in an endless cycle.

you can’t eat stocks. you can’t warm your house with stocks. you can’t manufacture solar panels with stocks.

real wealth, the serious fuck you Big Money, depends on the ownership and distribution of real resources: real estate, agricultural land, factories, pipelines, commerical buildings, capital infrastructure. these are what the ultra wealthy buy up during recessions and then charge rents and leases for everyone else to pay, forever. forget about owning land or a home, your kids can’t compete with someone paying cash on a 600k house or snatching up entire portfolios of hundreds of rentals in a single purchase.

bailouts and blank checks given out as PPP loans to “business owners” during Covid redistributed wealth from the taxpayers (government) into the hands of the wealthiest people in the world. they can then convert their Pokemon collections into real wealth generating resources. government bailouts to corporations become an engine for not just making the rich richer but the types of assets they then acquire using that money cements them at the top of the wealth generation food chain forever.

Trump 2.0 is engineering another massive redistribution, even bigger and more focused on real estate than before. he made his fake reputation on real estate. loyalist oligarchs who bank rolled dark maga will be handsomely rewarded with the newly emptied government office buildings and public lands.

and your kids and grandkids will be homeless.

agree completely. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why this simple defiance is so difficult for some people. I figure it’s because they fear social consequences (what will people think of me as a rule breaker?!) or they fear economic consequences (I could lose my job and ability to support my family!).

what’s interesting is that the solution to both reasons/excuses is having a strong social support network and solidarity with others who would help you when you stumble. modern individualism and desperation has made people so isolated and fearful of being mis-perceived and has made us less powerful to stand up for what we (collectively) know is the right thing to do.

if someone in my circle gets fired or shamed because they said “No” to a fascist, theyre going to get a lot of help if they need it. and i make sure to tell them that.

first time hearing about this, any more details you can provide or link to a news release? is this Ubiik?

saving this for later, thanks

the 2016 and 2020 coverage of Bernie Sanders and their pushing of centrist anti-progressive agendas in the editorials was enough for me to unsubscribe forever. after what they’ve done in recent years, there’s no way I’ll ever trust them to represent working class interests.

here’s an example just a couple weeks ago of them laundering Republican party talking points into man on the street style “people are saying” interviews about how 'aktually I’m black and I’m glad DEI is being ended.’ receipts showing stealth edits made to cover their tracks in the linked article.

that can’t be right, I swear I saw this exact person at the grocery near me, thousands of miles away from Loveland

fuck you Elon and fuck your over hyped car company.

I see… and is the fraud in the room with us right now, Elon?

tax the rich.

if they don’t comply, seize their assets.

if citizens can be 'civil asset forfeiture’d for being suspected of a crime, then billionaires can have their accounts seized and lands taken for tax evasion. but how do we make the politicians afraid enough to actually do it?

there’s going to be a significant increase in homeless grandparents

who do you think will be buying up all those homes, all that sweet easy money passive income generating real estate?

a handful of ultra wealthy parasites are looting the country just to add a few zeros to the ends of their bank accounts.

we desperately need a workers party in this country. Bernie can’t do it alone though. what can we do?

when will people snap and say '“enough is enough, we refuse to be poor and exploited”. when will we empower a cross racial coalition the likes of which King and Hampton were murdered to prevent?

i just hope to see it in my lifetime… but i have my doubts.

the future is looking bloodier by the minute.

thoughts and prayers bruh

meh. you’re not a psycho.

compassion is a muscle. if you’ve never spent much time, dedication, or effort working on empathizing with other people you won’t be good at it (or even think about it).

we just so happen to live in society where those skills are not as rewarded compared to being self centered, independent, and ruthless. conditions maketh the man. hang out with someone who’s got a lot of compassion and concern for the feelings of others and you’ll quickly realize what you thought was your personality is actually a learned maladaptive response to living in a cruel and apathetic world.

77 million / 155 million eligible voters.

this is what the ultra wealthy made them want. the lumpen’s desires are as manufactured as the hot cheeto dust caked upon their lips.

Now, say it all together class:

FUCK.

THE.

OLIGARCHY.
