@JamesBaker @jim @openrightsgroup why is the article framed in terms of competition and market logics? There are ways of existing without such neoliberal capitalist values seeking power and control

"The government shouldn't infringe upon personal freedom, except to teach folks a lesson about personal responsibility, even at the cost of their fundamental well-being" - people I don't have much regard for. #leftism #leftist #anticaptalism

You ever find it surprising when anti-gay politicians are exposed for secret gay sex scandal
Aren't guys like that the least likely to be gay? Would closeted guys have to try that hard to blend in as straight?

You might be assuming their reasons for being in the closet are that they're disgusted with their sexuality or they're trying to avoid prejudice from family or in carrear

Consider, if they are having gay sex they are proud it. Consider if they're cheating on a wife, she's doesn't care or can't control it. Consider closet-gay politicians personally stand to benefit from the passing of homophobic laws.

No one can trust an openly gay man advocating for homophobic legislation. He's in the closet so he can profit of the fear.

If he receives enough money through corrupt means, his anti-gay laws won't apply to him. He can buy gay sex illegally and without the possibility of dual income same sex marriages, the supply of gay survival sex work will increase.

Straight capitalists have bribed him to curb the threat to their power structure, he cares about his sexual gratification, not about the consequences of legislation he publicly supports on others

further reminder to reflect on as I see people talk about the climate crisis:

it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism

capitalism is a small blip in human history. Acknowledge this as we may acknowledge us being here so far for not very long in earth’s grand scheme. We can continue without capitalism. The lovecraftian like fear of global warming & capitalism is a symptom of our disconnection. Gravity is still there for you

Oh, the Venezuelan economy has collapsed again and my salary as a full-time researcher has reached $7 a month. How are we going to survive this December? Considering going back to hunting, fishing and gathering

Nice to get a shoutout on this episode of Death Sentence podcast (an anti-capitalist death metal show)

An interview with Tariq Goddard on his new book High John the Conqueror, a psychedelic occult crime novel set in a shit English town. Think Twin Peaks or True Detective season 1 vibes playing out in rural Britain

In the long run, we must destroy capitalism, before capitalism destroys us. (5/5)

I'm preparing for a long debate about indigenous handicrafts and public policies in Venezuela. What no one has wanted to see in the government is that handicrafts, along with salaried work on hanciendas, have served to integrate indigenous peoples into national capitalism. The complicated coexistence between the traditional economy and the market economy is being devoured by the latter. (1/?)

Here's a cheerful little anti-capitalism ballad I came up with this morning called "Con Man." These silly songs spill out of my head at all hours! 🤣

A town in Connecticut voted on and approved a resolution asking their local Starbucks workers to work faster because the line of cars was blocking traffic and people didn't like waiting in the drive thru line.
