Profits by the Billion, A report on war prosperity

This belongs on !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world lmfao, it's a perfect summary 😂

Blaschko's lines

That post cracked me up, with their no real apology or accountability but practically begging the community to come back to them, and talk of "fracturing" the fediverse lmfao, clearly made after and because they realised hardly anyone was following them to their new home, and not just because of what instance it's on, but because they showed their asses as mods, and people don't want to deal with their bullshit lol

I think the most depressing thing about this is that it will actually come as a surprise to some, who will be feeling let down by their pet "good billionaire".

I hope if nothing else this serves as a wake up call to them to the true and inevitable nature of billionaires, but I won't hold my breath..

E: smfh, just seen that a mod of this very community (and every other community on beehaw it seems lol) is one of those people, and I was wrong, they don't even feel let down, they just flat out refuse to acknowledge. What a joke.

So you think revolution spontaneously combusts in to existence, without any previous spreading of ideas and reaching out to the disenfranchised, or that it only happens on the front lines?

Yeah, I think I'll pass on your confidently incorrect take lmfao

Glad I could help..

Now to reply to the post itself, I think this sums it up:

Though the sad truth is that almost every single product or service we use are owned and run by people with similar opinions, it is literally the nature of the capitalist beast, it's how it function, and why it will always decay in to fascism - because those with the power and the money (not just those at the very very top, but several levels bellow them, too, like this guy) will always and forever care solely about maintaining it and creating more for themselves, that's it. And to do that, they have to side with whichever dictator-du-jour benefits them the most.

Remember - there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and this is only one of the reasons why.

I can't be the only one who struggled to read that, and for general accessibility purposes since I'm already here:

"The point is that fighting for a more just and equal society is not just about fighting for the fundamental right to privacy but also for all other fundamental rights, including individual rights and life. When you, as the CEO of a company that starts from these principles, nod positively to whatever action a political figure like Trump, who is known for always flagrantly putting his private interests ahead of those of his own nation, makes speeches about eliminating minorities, hurting their rights as citizens and flirting with Nazi movements, it is understandable that members of the privacy community are disappointed as this reveals a little about who is being the face of a company that should follow contrary principles. But now we really know what "freedom" means to you."

a country that only cares about billionaires and companies

So... Both countries involved?

Homelessness doesn't exist because of a lack of housing.
