Like so often happens, this time too the expectations (or explanations) of right-wing politicians are completely separated from the actual reality.

Idk how in the hell would “you cannot make A DIME without it lowering your benefits” would encourage someone to try and find work. especially part-time.

Fascists are rejoicing and attempting to cause a scandal because there was one banderol that “encouraged violence” in Sundays antigovernment protests that was attended by 10k - 20k people.

Below published stance from the anarchist group A-ryhmä that made and carried the banner. Screenshots from their Instagram. 1/2

If you're wondering how the forces of bossware, homelessness, and other enshittifying factors came to rule, it's actually pretty straightforward. 40 years ago, we installed a software patch called (in some regions, this patch was had localized names like or ).

40 years later, the patch is an unequivocal failure and now it's our job to roll it back, despite all the broken dependencies this will trigger.

“…there is one and only one social responsibility of business—to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.”

To give him his due, he probably did not foresee the full capture of by corporations, which let them change those “rules of the game” - gutting worker & environmental protections and allowing to rise again.

It's so depressing to read news from these days.
Every day there're either new scandals, change of laws to the worse or broken promises about making life easier for ordinary people, instead doing the same to the super rich.
