In fact, research shows that the world economy already has enough productive capacity to eliminate global poverty many times over. Indeed it is possible not only to eliminate extreme poverty, but also to eliminate deprivation at much higher thresholds. With these levels of production, we could ensure universal access to healthcare, education, modern housing, sanitation systems, electricity, clean cooking stoves, refrigeration, mobile phones, internet, computers, transport, household appliances and other necessities for decent living standards, for more than eight billion people. The fact that poverty persists at such high levels today indicates that severe dislocation is institutionalised in the world economy – and that markets have failed to meet the basic needs of much of humanity.

It's rather unfortunate that no one gets to see other perspectives. And it's messing with my hope that the USA can get better, because it's feels like this: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8939607

These people are willing to accept the "lesser evil," but it's the same evil, and they are condemning poor people and PoC to have to deal with it, because we're the buffer. But they won't stop at us.

Moreover, this is the censorship they screen bloody murder about with the "great firewall." Absolutely zero introspective ~~ability~~ effort.
