  Lead poisoning. Leaded gasoline started in the 1930s, but in the 50s and 60s we destroyed our public transportation and then destroyed millions of black homes to build highways through our cities. So leaded gasoline peaked in the 70s.

  Oh, and boomers, who have the most lead brain damage, hold all the political power because they hold all the wealth.

  I think this a liberal vs left thing. Most liberals aren’t mad at Schumer. It is the leftists like AOC and Bernie that are passionately fighting against fascism and oligarchy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“We are not corporate slaves”: Indian tech workers fight for dignity : Peoples Dispatch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re all slaves to the billionaires under capitalism. It is a slightly more ethical type of slavery, but ultimately we still do the bidding of the wealthy and we sacrifice the best years of our lives to build their financial empires

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$42.5 Billion Broadband Grant Program Being Rewritten To Benefit Elon Musk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminder that this is still capitalism. Capitalism gave Elon Musk the wealth and power to destroy American democracy so the world’s most successful capitalist destroying democracy is capitalism in action.

  Masks are sort of like condoms. When someone tells you that you don’t need one or that you shouldn’t wear one then you absolutely do need one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no ragrets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He knew lead was a very dangerous neurotoxin and he just didn’t care. Capitalists destroying the planet for profit is such a boring evil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration retreats in fight against Russian cyber threats⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, but if that were even possible then we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with and Trump would be in jail for his failed Jan 6th putsch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll care when I work for a co-op that is equally owned by all the workers.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not wasting my mental energy to create more profit for the shareholders if I’m not directly incentivised to do so.

  Especially when those very same capitalists use their wealth and power to attack democracy and public institutions! Every dollar of profit I make for a modern day (wage) slaver does harm to my soul.

  She’s a lawyer, so you won’t see her advocating for a violent uprising

  Ah, yes, because the Nazis were famously beaten by lawyers…

  Historically, fascism cannot be beaten peacefully. We cannot appease or argue our way out of this problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the democrats actually doing to help?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Luigi did something. We need more Luigis, but I fear we will get peasant-brain brown shirts instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the democrats actually doing to help?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Republicans don’t have a filibuster proof super majority in the Senate so Dems could filibuster the Senate to death to block Trump appointments from being voted on like Republicans did to Dems, but no, rich white liberals aren’t hurt by Trump’s fascism so they don’t care

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the democrats actually doing to help?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  History repeats. Conservatives gave Hitler a majority coalition in 1932 and now conservatives have done the same for Trump and nazi Elon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Henry Symeonis⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like Peasant-brains defending oligarch billionaires or attacking socialists who try to help them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Henry Symeonis⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) – and none of them knows why.

  Super interesting. Is this why peasant-brains defend capitalism, our undemocratic two party system, and the oligarchy so intensely?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Tech Companies Are Joining the GOP-Oil Alliance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because of insatiable greed, aka gold sickness aka “profit motive” of capitalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Erasure⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Half the regular people also want it this way

  Only 28% of adults voted for this and lots of Trump voters just wanted the cheaper groceries that Trump promised them (he lied).

  So please don’t spread the lie that Trump has majority support or any kind of mandate. He doesn’t. Over a 100 million people didn’t bother to vote because they have no faith or hope that voting can improve their lives. They aren’t wrong. At best, electing Democrats is just a stay of execution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Erasure⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you someone starts a revolution I’d join the fight. “And just because he’s a worker, no class can free him but his own. The emancipation of the working class is the task of the worker alone.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepseek when asked about sensitive topics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. Well, all I can say is that the US has commited countless atrocities against other nations and even our own citizens. Last I checked, China didn’t infect their ethnic minorities with Syphilis and force the doctors not to treat it under a threat of death, but the US government did that to black Americans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is getting bad. Like, really really bad.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my state capital is a 4 hour drive away. Frankfurt to Berlin is a 3 hour train where you can get work done or read a book. You also can’t get fired in Germany for calling out sick to protest.

  The US working class has very little power left. No unions, no solidarity, almost no rights, and no one in government that actually fights for us

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is getting bad. Like, really really bad.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We are on day 15, and we are running out of time. We have to make change, or our democracy will be gone.

  Our “democracy” has been dead since 2008, when Americans gave the liberal wing of the capitalist party a super majority and full control over the government on the promise that they would give us universal healthcare. But instead they came up with endless excuses not to help us.

  A representative democracy that does not represent and help the people who elect them ceases to be a democracy.

  Also, having a two headed capitalist party is not a fucking democracy. If we cannot vote for communists or socialists that will actually fight for the proletariat then that isn’t a democracy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like Eurasians can be just as ignorant as USains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us [404 Media]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  DeepSeek is completely free and open source, why do you want it to fail?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepseek when asked about sensitive topics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand how we have such an obsession with Tiananmen square but no one talks about the Athens Polytech massacre where Greek tanks crushed college students to death. The Chinese tanks stopped for the man in the photo! So we just ignore the atrocities of other capitalist nations and hyperfixate on the failings of any country that tries to move away from capitalism???

  The US oligarchs skim off the top of our military spending as well and every year it gets worse and worse. There are so many US soldiers living on food stamps while simultaneously their positions keep getting cut .

  I deleted my Instagram and I am about to delete my FB account. The oligarchs can go fuck themselves.

  You can thanks capitalism for poisoning our cities, towns and soil with an extremely dangerous neurotoxin (lead).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe that is why they make 20 slight variations of every model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got into the wrong career lol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism is a wealth based caste system, but kids aren’t taught that in school so many don’t connect the dots until they are in college.

  If we don’t want people to value wealth above everything else maybe we shouldn’t have a system that also prioritizes profits above people, the planet, science and everything else.

  I can’t disagree. We’re currently destroying the planet to sell crap people dont need or want just to make rich assholes extra money they don’t need

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To some degree it is. There is some evidence that plants can experience pain in their own way.
