AI. Is huge capital investments. Just tax the wealth. Any fortune over 10 million has to pay 4% of the gross total per year.

Well off working man warns the capitalist class the consequences of stiffing the working class.

Both is possible.

According to other headlines they already have IDF soldiers refusing to deploy to Gaza and going to prison instead. The Nazis invented the gas chambers because shooting crowds of civilians was leaving their SS troopers disabled with PTSD. they need to gamify it to provide some psychological cover for their grunts to finish the job.

If nothing else the fall in birth rates world-wide will lead to political instability.

If they can maintain the infrastructure of wealth without workers they won’t care what people do, and if they can’t then the surveillance will collapse with the supply chains.

Either way there is an other side to this dark tunnel, not without suffering and death, but there is still hope for resistance to the new facism.

Here in the US most schools gave up trying to ban phones in the 2010’s.

Some of them wanted it out of government. The fundies of the day we’re willing to go along because their parents and grandparents were chased out of England for being wackados.

All of the practices in the book are inspired by real history.

You have been playing too much rainbow six. There are no good guys in the halls of power looking after us.

There are only the rich fucks over here and the rich fucks over there pulling the levers of power.

REPUBLICANS in Congress have abdicated their constitutional duties. A few Democrats are collaborating.

“Though it’s also possible that public schools will close and only the wealthy kids will be well-educated… can we not, please?”

Trump and Republicans would like nothing more than to turn this country into another Russia where your kids have to pay through the nose go abroad to get a decent education.

Brave New World? No, the rulers aren’t that benevolent.

1984? Still no, they aren’t that competent.

We are heading for fareinheit 451.

I said Ukraine would win if they continued receiving the level of aid they have been getting indefinitely.

That goes back to my earlier assertion that the trump administration is shot through with Russian propaganda and direct plants.

Depends on if Trump gives Zelenski a deal he can’t refuse.

If nobody changes US or European support I think Ukraine will win eventually.

But that’s a big if. As Russia gets closer to collapse they will make noises about peace and cease fires and try to hold what they have, and pushing them off where they are entrenched will be more difficult. Ukraine can do it, given time, and money, and In the short term, military equipment.

This is evidence that the white house is riddled with Russian plants/propaganda not that the reality on the front is worse for Ukraine than we thought.

We always knew it was bad. It has never been good for Ukraine. If it ever gets good for Ukraine you will see Russians retreating. Nobody knows where that point is, but they are almost certainly closer today than they were a year ago.

Unironically I read union headlines now and have a moment of panic/confusion because I can’t tell an onion article at a glance. 10 years ago the onion was just a moment of bemusement, now I have to check the source. Same with the Beaverton that I see on Lemmy occasionally.

I registered with blahaj first but I couldn’t. Log in after a couple of months and never found a solution.

I came to Lemmy on my own but felt forced I to .World.

They don’t want poc or women to be career.

They want women pregnant, so they are “safe” in that sense. They want white officers commanding brown conscripts to go do the dying.

Irrelevant to Putin. It matters a lot to Europe and Ukraine.
