i think the biggest #capitalist #scam is that you can supposedly buy the real you.
"see these clothes? it shows who i really am! this makeup, too! i need plastic surgery so that my face can look like my aesthetic!"
you don't need to buy your true self, it's in your personality not your appearance
#geopolitics #economics #growth #Trump #USA #USPol #eu #UKPol #starmer How does it feel? #lino The upside maybe certain #players will 'cut their cloth etc and #gaia maybe spared to breathe again, I hope. The #capitalist #mercantile model was always going to fall flat on it's face.

If you can help in no other way, please at least help raise support, even by simply helping their need to be seen Their lives endangered by the very #capitalist #colonialism that displaced their #Indigenous ancestors, centuries ago

Their lives endangered by the very #capitalist #colonialism that displaced their #Indigenous ancestors, centuries ago
The same that now provides comfort to some, while #marginalizing others
They're endangered by the color of their skin alone, by #poverty, by #disability, by #xenophobia
Saying the #Dems & #GOP are both beyond acceptability is not the same as saying they're identical. No one actually thinks they're 1:1 identical; they clearly have different styles & priorities.
Both factions are, however, solid partners in maintaining & expanding #US #capitalist #imperialism.
The accurate observation that the #Dem faction & the #GOP faction of #capital aren't literally identical doesn't mean that #workers should start doing lesser-evilism & supporting the "good cop" of #capitalist #imperialism. The #Dems are different, but they ultimately support the GOP.
I'm trying to wrap my head around why #liberalism went from a humanistic pursuit out of the enlightenment, into am ideology that only seems to care for people in the abstract.
It would be interesting to try and reframe liberalism into a collectivist framework, without the zero-sum freedom mindset we got used to lately.
For that, the #capitalist urge to try and see everything as a market to exploit needs to go. Also, any individual need has to be translated into a common need.
Possible?
@gleick
this is also an example of #capitalist market forces at play in private for profit #prisons (concentration camps or cheap labor pool for bigCorps).
Now #bigCorp will see the profit in having prisons in multiple jurisdictions. Everyone makes a profit, the bigCorp cutting the political players in and we now have #fascism on a global scale with #bigCorp running the world.
no courts, or oversight by anyone.
The death of democracy at a global scale.
#democracy is more than voting.
#literature: International #capitalist Paul Dombey, as depicted in Charles Dickens's Dombey and Son, may be the most despicable of the author's hundreds of Characters, leaving even Uriah Heep in the shade
#China began #capitalist restoration in earnest in the late 1970's & has backed off of funding & materially supporting national #liberation & #socialist struggles since that time but go on
Also even as an advanced capitalist state/red #socialdemocracy it's kicking the futureless, #fascist #USA ass

''no in fact i am a bug ass capitalist lolz''
Stockholm syndrom much?
i see you reply on any #capitalist post.
see you on my next one 
#Capitalist " #antifascism" is extremely limited, consisting of certain idealists who want to try to fix the problems of capitalism's crises of profitability in less brutal ways, but they absolutely do not have a long-term solution to the capitalism's inevitable decline & are wasting the left's time.
#Capitalist #Colonial societies are built upon ever-growing mountains of death, blood & ash.
#Disabled #Indigenous #Latina family raising to survive death imposed by the very #colonization those with luxuries benefit from.
Prior to eviction, #SabiLewSounds, who's disabled, could take commissions, work on album, two #YT channels, #Twitch, radio streams, freelance, blogging, #advocacy for #Disability & #MentalHealth.
Even if a #Progressive is elected, hypothetically speaking, they won't be able to do the shit they say cos they'll be backed into a corner.
#Congress, #Politicians & #Corporations & #WallStreet will not let it happen.
A tiny minority of people still get a say, there's still #exploitation, there would be a #CapitalStrike which would lead to #civil unrest and possibly a coup to take power back for #capitalist class with the forces of the #reactionary.

Contrary to adversarial present conversation, It's not about #left #right #centrist #liberal #Capitalist, #socialist, probably any 'ist' or 'ism' in fact, #Religious or #secular, #Eastern or #Western, etc. It is about #Justice #Equity #Education #Equality #truepeace & more than just an end to war. Its a work of decades likely generations, I'm talking about #Unity the next stage in human evolution. It's actually happening all around & inside each of us.
