    Your friendly reminder that companies and governments only do what the majority allow them to do. That’s why their main strategy is to divide and conquer. So while everyone is having a culture war they will slowly be screwing everyone over. By the time we figure out who can use which bathroom the government and economy will be collapsing.

        Or else they’ll eat you. Left, right, or center, religious, agnostic, or atheist there’s a shared enemy who’s more than happy to capitalize on what are arguably less important disagreements aka shit we can solve tomorrow as for today there are bigger fish to fry.

    Just remember, for scale:

    1m seconds = 11.5 days

    1b seconds = 31.7 years

    1t seconds = 317 centuries (31,709 years)

    While I know it’s not cash on hand and it’s net worth, it’s still the principal that he’s allowed to be CEO of ~5 businesses while others are shamed and called out for “over employment”, and so many around the world struggle, while he gets to use his money to influence politics, and change things to benefit himself at the expense of others.

    It’s wild to think just how much they are stealing from us in terms of time. The “cost of living crisis” is an interesting way of them stealing our labor. Like they set the prices for everything and record record profits year over year. We really should all be getting our pitchforks out and heading to the nearest capital building and demanding change. Fuck the peaceful protests

    I haven’t watched the video yet, to be fair, but Johnny Harris is very much not a figure I’d trust on this topic. Not after his ghost written shareholder capitalism propaganda.
