This is the only American I know of who is crazy enough to have the right idea.

We can learn from it, the good and the bad.

No I mean provide sources for your claims, otherwise you sound like a MAGA person saying “Just trust me bro I saw it on facebook.” Making a claim and then saying “various articles” is vague and dismissive at best, where did you find these numbers? Facebook?

Ah, the MAGA defense.

Here’s an idea: Try to push a #OccupyBillionaires or #OccupyMansions movement.

What about the £36 trillion in offshore tax havens as of 2016 which is probably much bigger now. That’s not tied up into assets, that’s liquid like a Well of Souls.

God I hope not.

- Comment on Germany right now 4 weeks ago:
WW3 won’t be a nuclear war between States. WW3 will be a global class uprising, I just fear we’ll have to go through 100+ years of ‘Equilibrium’ or ‘V for Vendetta’ type dystopia before that happens. Why does that have to be the sensible approach? Why not rip off the bandaids now while billionaires addresses are still public information?

Almost everyone has family members or friends that vote far-right and we need to talk to them
I try. My family calls themselves left of center and liberal, yet no books on Marx but certainly have books on Hitler. My brother who works in finance lauds great mathematicians in history, but he won’t read about Einstein’s politics because I smoke weed therefore my recommendation is “hard to take seriously.” They think the rise of fascism is just media sensationalism, and things are better than ever because “the markets say so / GDP is higher than ever.” I try to explain, through the words of economists, that GDP and markets aren’t a good measure of wealth disparity, and they accuse me of being envious that I don’t have as much money as them. I try to explain that money isn’t everything, they roll their eyes like i’m on some hippy-revolutionary kool aid and no different from MAGA. They say I should stop worrying about “the news” and “focus on yourself,” meanwhile i’m disabled from hyperthyroidism and they roll their eyes at my pain and immobility like i’m being lazy. Fuck “enlightened centrists” they walk and talk just like fascists do.

There’s a lot of the “atheist” tech bros that still peasant-brain worship the market with human sacrifices as if it will bear them miracles. I like to tell them “You’re an atheist just like me, except I go one god further.”
- Comment on Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬 2 months ago:
Yeah grow a food coop for the first band of fascist thugs that show up with guns. We need to arm ourselves and train just as much as decentralize our food. If you think they’ll go away peacefully and leave our gardens alone you’re horribly naive.

When you’re in a crowd waiting to get on a bus, do you shove and claw your way past the crowd, or do you wait your turn like everyone else? Is there anyone telling you to do that?
When a natural disaster strikes and we watch the news of cities being flooded/destroyed, do you see people raping and murdering eachother en masse because society broke down? Do you see them rebuilding only because someone above them on the hierarchy told them to? Or do people rebuild because they need to?
If your village was thirsty and didn’t have a well, would you ask someone for permission to dig the well so only that it benefits the person you’re begging to? Or do you and the village just build the damn well?

Because Elon’s balls are nonexistent. At least he still has the heart and brain, however small and hard of a target they are.
