the very fact that techbros made up a word to insult people not in on the scam "nocoiners" puts them on a par w incels who call men who actually make women consider having sex with them "chads"
“Conflict is a reliable way to know whether or not you're a leftist. As Steven Brust says, the way to distinguish a leftist is to ask "What's more important, human rights, or property rights?" If you answer "Property rights are human right," you're not a leftist. Leftists don't necessarily oppose all property rights - they just think they're less important than human rights.”
@euractiv_green 👎 This is of course, publicity for miners! Nothing of responsibility: In my neighbourhood, they want to mine #Lithium (low yields) and plan to expropriate the #organic#farmers (they have to give up their profession) of a region, at the very limit of a #Natura2000#natureReserve! 🤮
Under #capitalism, our employers don't care about our lives and safety, only profit. Profit is always prioritized above the #worker's well-being to the #capitalists. We need collective action and solidarity among workers to challenge capitalist exploitation and demand safer working conditions and equitable treatment. Don't take no for an answer. Unionize, Organize, Agitate!
Oh noes! YouTube is blocking my player for blocking ads!

Better!
I'll start paying for #YouTube when they give me enough control over discoverability to stop half my feed from being videos I've already watched and the other half being videos I've already clicked "not interested" twenty times.
@WagesOf Hopefully you have your channel blocking add-on activated --blocking ai/corporate channels from reappearing in searches is nice.
I already pay for youtube. We all do. Humanity is destroyed by capitalism to enrich a few psychopaths and their wannabes. Humanity pays for everything any capitalist hoarder ever hoarded and I feel no obligation to any of them to give them anything more than what they take with the assistance of the state.
In fact, #capitalists owe #humanity countless multiples of the value of their ill-gotten wealth, given the generations of abuse and slavery and violent oppression of every sort that has been used to keep the Haves having and the Have Nots obligated to do all the work. #KillCapitalism every nonviolent way you can. Tomorrow, find more ways.
Well, I tried to accept #AI and view it as simply a new tool in the #artist arsenal. It's not. It's t̶e̶c̶h̶n̶o̶l̶o̶g̶y̶ #capitalists exploiting technology to turn us into drones with no creative outlet. AI will break #society. It will be worse than the #WorldWideWeb. Despite sci-fi literature and movies speculating on how AI might affect the world, it will be far more catastrophic than anyone could imagine. #Capitalism assures the worst possible outcome. The #singularity is supercharged capitalism.
I will always allow my character & longtime efforts to speak more volumes than folks who don't know me from another brick in the wall & try to talk weak shit about me. All they're doing is building up their own horrible karmic returns.
I've never moved from my human rights & environmental rights, for all, stances. I've never, nor plan to ever move, from my stances on justice, globally & especially for #GlobalSouth nations, exploited by #GlobalNorth#capitalists. NEVER.
It has been broken by #Tories and profiteering #capitalists - the situation is so glaringly obvious even the CEO of Iceland is calling it for what it is:
‘Richard Walker, accused brands of “exploitation” and backed calls for a price cap.’
Babies should not go hungry in one of the top 10 richest countries in the world.
"More than 250 years ago, the #Ojibwe people, one of the largest Indigenous populations in North America, received a prophecy to migrate westward until they reached the land where food grows on water.
When the #MilleLacsBand of Ojibwe encountered wild rice in north-central Minnesota, they knew they found their new home. Rice harvesting has been a cornerstone of Ojibwe culture ever since.
"Today, mining exploration company #TalonMetals, also has its sights set on Minnesota. Some of the world’s richest high-grade #nickel and #copper deposits are thousands of feet below the state colloquially known as 'the land of 10,000 lakes.'
"Talon seeks to construct a mine in the rural town of Tamarack, which it says will be integral to building the nation’s domestic supply of materials necessary for a clean energy transition.
"Nickel and copper are key components of rechargeable #lithium ion (#LION) batteries that are widely used for low-emission technologies like electric vehicles (EVs). The company already has an agreement to supply #Tesla with nickel from its proposed mine, potentially bringing hundreds of unionized mining jobs to this rural area.
"The federal government has also recognized nickel and copper as 'essential to national defense,' adding them to the U.S. critical minerals list in 2022 and 2023, respectively. And, this September, the Department of Defense awarded Talon a $20.1 million matching grant to continue searching for deposits throughout the #LakeSuperior region.
"As the U.S. strives to be a leader in clean energy transition, the #TamarackProject encapsulates both the promise and challenges that lie ahead.
"The Dangers of Sulfide Mining
"Kelly Applegate, the commissioner of natural resources for the Mille Lacs Band, was shocked when he first saw deep earth imaging of nickel-copper deposits beneath his tribal land in the late 1990s.
A study from the U.S. Geological Survey suggested that the Lake Superior region could have deposits as lucrative as high-yield mines in Canada and Russia.
'Oh my gosh, look at these mineral deposits that may one day be sought out,' he recalls thinking to himself.
"Two decades later, Talon Metals, a mining company founded by former Canadian venture #capitalists and based in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), applied for a permit with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to create the Tamarack Project just over a mile away from the closest Mille Lacs Band community. "
yeah im as crazy as they come, but for the standard of being a crazy cunt whilst the #capitalists and #fascists run around I'm sedate as fuck really.... so fuck all who #bootlick to #rightwing#ideology thinking its the way out of their mess or #life..... yes this is an insult to rightwing kkkunts.... :antifa_100:
It’s often the case that critics of anarchism will demand to know how we might obtain public goods without the state, because their entire frame of reference for public goods is in the context of state monopolies.
And I might reply that all sorts of public goods predate the state by thousands of years or more. Neolithic peoples were building trackway roads and monumental architecture and all kinds of neat things.
And critics of anarchism will often gleefully seize upon this as if it presents some clever gotcha. They think this means that the best we can hope to achieve without the state is a Neolithic-level of technology and cooperation.
And I find that response to be…so immensely sad. They see a dead-end; I see incredible achievements with only the barest of technologies and available knowledge, and can only wonder at the marvels we’d be able to achieve together now.
@interfluidity@HeavenlyPossum@passenger#libertarians of every sort act from an assumption that they can earn the right to more than they need, and see no reason to do right by others unless it benefits themselves more than others. They are just #capitalists and nothing in their interpretation of things is accurate or ethical.
