“I won capitalism”
Or we could think outside of the system we’ve been indoctrinated to believe is the only one that can “work” (by the very few people it does actually work for), and eliminate capitalism altogether so that there is no incentive to extract and hoard wealth in the first place, because those don’t serve society in any way shape or form.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 2 weeks ago:
That still maintains an incentive to extract and hoard wealth. There should be none.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 2 weeks ago:
Yup, exactly.

You in particular need not worry about ever hitting that max GBU_28
But that’s just it - they genuinely are worried about exactly that, because they’ve been convinced by the people exploiting their labour for profit that they too can become a billionaire one day if they just work hard enough and make sure to never remove their tongue from the boot standing on their neck!
This is a live demonstration of propaganda at work.

Tories also have a manifesto, it’s just the word used here for, well, a manifesto. Not specific to any political leaning.
- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 3 weeks ago:
Then how about you stop contributing to the problem by hoarding properties you don’t live in and exploiting those who can’t afford to, for profit?
No?
I didn’t think so…
- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 3 weeks ago:
because I didn’t want to be "part of the problem "
And yet, you’re still a landlord… 🤔
I guess the greed won over, eh?

- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 4 weeks ago:
This is incorrect. Not only did humans used to work significantly less and we (the working class, anyway) in the past few centuries have less leisure time than ever, but if anything, the introduction of what you consider “civilisation”, and especially class and money, harmed art more than anything by giving the power and control over it to those who aren’t creating it, and leaving those who are, starving, like the rest of the plebs.

It explains a lot how quickly some people make excuses for racism.

Racism.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders: Is there a path to remove big money from politics? Goddamn right there is! 4 weeks ago:
Lmfao, what a joke…
He should know better. He should know that as long as both exist, capital and state (and especially, but not exclusively in the US, organised religion) are inseparably intertwined, by motherfucking design, and the only way to separate them, is to abolish both and start from scratch and without the influence of either (while Sanders, like all other politicians, has a deeply vested interest in maintaining at least half of the equation - the state and its existing form of government, and its, and his own, influence).
I’m seriously getting sick of this feeble bullshit being what people think leftism is.

Is that not an unlit electronic candle?
Also the way the fork seems to be making a dent in the surface (that dark shadow under the neck of the fork) but nothing else is, and in general the fork just looks superimposed.
And something just isn’t right with the cat…
You make some good points, but I’m also leaning towards ai.

I don’t have the app, but actually looked at it on my pc the other day after someone mentioned it in the comments to another post, with full intention to go out and have a look, but my brain is like a sieve… 😂
Thanks though, I’ll give the app a look

I can’t believe I missed them again! Going to do my absolute best to try and remember to look tonight, though forecast is for cloud all day today and tomorrow, so I doubt I’ll have any luck 😩
- Comment on Water companies must return £158m on customer bills - Ofwat 1 month ago:
This is a very bare minimum start.
Next they need to reach in to their own fucking pockets to not only fix their outdated and unfit for purpose infustructure, and clean up the ungodly mess they’ve made, but also reimburse the taxpayer for the damage they’ve caused to our common waterways and supply.
Then once they’re done paying, nationalise the motherfuckers.

- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 1 month ago:
I think that’s the point, just like with “a few bad apples”, the original intent of the saying has been subverted to help those in power keep the rest of us down (if you just do this impossible thing, you’ll be just like us! Why don’t you just do that impossible thing already, you useless lazy bastard? And so on. It’s part cognitive dissonance to make themselves feel like they’re “self made”, part gaslighting convincing us we’re just not trying hard enough).
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 1 month ago:
I will remember survivorship bias
The just world fallacy is another one worth remembering, in the context of your post, but also generally.
Also
If hard work led to success, then a poor person working three jobs should be rich.
You got George Monbiot’s quote almost exactly word for word: If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire.”
He didn’t have to work three jobs to pay rent, but he is set up as a rags-to-riches story, using elbow grease and grit to become the mogul he is.
Lastly, you’re right, but it’s important to remember what he does have, and why - privilege, and lots of it (being a white man from a rich background, with a supportive family to boot? They all put his starting points miles ahead of most others), which he is given by white supremacist patriarchal capitalism, which is why he (and many others, even without the billions, privilege is one hell of a drug) will never work to end those systems and work towards creating a world where everyone has equitable access and opportunity.
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 1 month ago:
Capitalist propaganda.
“Aspiration” to be more precise, it’s one of the ways capitalists convince large segments of the public that they’re temporarily embarrassed millionaires, who just need to pull their bootstraps up hard enough, and they will make it, like the people in the programme did (conveniently they never address things like racism, sexism, queerphobia, ableism, and other barriers that many people have to face just to survive, never mind thrive, and the fact that all of these barriers are artificial and created by people who benefit just as much from dividing society up and pitting us against each other, as they do from selling us rags-to-riches bullshit to get us to work harder to make them money).

- Comment on Fears for patient safety as GPs use ChatGPT to diagnose and treat illness 2 months ago:
Lets not forget that AI is known for not only not providing any sources, or even falsifying them, but now also flat out lying.
Our GP’s are already mostly running on a tick-box system where they feed your information (but only the stuff on the most recent page of your file, looking any further is too much like hard work) in to their programme and it, rather than the patient or a trained physician, tells them what we need. Remove GP’s from the patients any more, and they’re basically just giving the same generic and often wildly incorrect advice we could find on WebMD.
