  People shower non-naked?

  Billionnaires.

  When did you teach the sign? I’m curious from when on they start being able to sign.

  Same but as a lesbian! Others are hot but also aaa it’s hard to get the word out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait! I Can Explain⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck fool, I’m behind 7 proxies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Foundation refuses voluntary union recognition, hires union-busting law firm⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also AnarWiki and ProleWiki.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For that the FPTP system needs to be changed, which is extraordinarily difficult due to the spoiler effect.

  You’d need to change the Dems from within.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a paramedic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey anon, just in there, hope you’re still there and doing better.

  If it matters, I’m somewhat religious, but plenty people I know are non-religious and chill. I hope your mum will turn around. May life go better for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨War attention priorities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no tier list for suffering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yesnt.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all of them. Blåhaj excludes all of Threads. I’m not sure about Bluesky or Mastodon, but haven’t seen posts from there yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yesnt.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi, it’s the Marxist you saw! o/ waves as you go past by

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you were looking for one image that explains the american economy, this would be it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If there were an afterlife I’d want to enter wherever Reagan, Thatcher, and all CEOs are, and throw them into the abyss of nothingness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of the French revolutionary calendar. It also did time decimally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is, just use Hammertime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nurses demand immediate reinstatement of colleagues suspended for speaking upat two of its Chicago hospitals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “For-profit” and “hospital” is a bit odd. Shouldn’t hospitals be non-profit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns about cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahh, it’s lovely to be driving a bicycle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The uber wealthy arent leaving. Its a lie.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d prefer for none of them to leave. They want to make it hard for labourers? We can do the same to them.

  Let them undergo the labour conditions that they subjected their worst-off servants to. Let them be confiscated of all their wealth and that wealth redistributed among all former wage slaves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The sickness of infinite greed cannot be sustained on our finite planet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like super yachts need to be sunk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The sickness of infinite greed cannot be sustained on our finite planet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Eat the Rich

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I find these terms acceptable. Socialism vs Billionaire Pedophiles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, council/anarchist communism would be great too. Market socialism as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overturn Citizens United (and launch billionaires into space)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The one issue: what if billionnaires try to keep access to their own wealth through those channels restricted? That is, others can’t claim it. They have proxy defence…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rich people also like trade unions, just not if it’s also the poor doing it.

  Business cartels are the oligarchs’ equivalent - lobbying for corruption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only good fascist …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve already accepted that I’ll join the revolution when it comes. I will gladly strive for the communist cause.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Profit over people is a failed system⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Likewise:

  How capitalists think socialism works:

  – “My lemonade is set at this price and we make a loss. My boss says I can’t criticise that decision.”
  – “Mine too. I’m not going to improve mine.”

  How (market) socialism actually works: – “We have no boss and we use the lowest price that gives all lemonade workers a fair pay.”
  – “Same.”

  ---

  How capitalists think communism works:
  (Same as the socialism one)

  How communism actually works:
  – “We made lemonade and still have some left.”
  – “Give whatever is good to those modestly asking for it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What caused this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also lots of skyscrapers and little old-city feel, lack of public transit & bicycle paths and mainwalks, lack of greenery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some things I can do as an apartment dweller to fight climate change/deal with the coming effects?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also getting fewer children. If I were a demographic planner I’d say 3 is the max.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A public system of all finances of everyone, as is done in some northern countries. Full transparency, so it can be seen who donated to whom. Additionally, no crypto must be owned. No ties to shell companies, no offshore nonsense.

  In many countries, it is mandatory to sell your stock and give up bonuses before taking up the job if there is a conflict of interest.

  I’d add that whoever earns a combined income higher than 9x the yearly salary of the lowest-paid labourer in their country, must be disposed of all that. Income must be tied to buying power.

  ---

  But, if you ask me, I’m of the opinion that there are better measures to be taken.

  What is given up should be held and owned by an independent worker’s cooperative fund, that will focus on the community’s wellbeing.

  I myself joined a trade union, and have thought about setting up an anti-capitalist financial institution. If the Israeli could buy up Palestine, then us labourers also can buy up capitalism and defeat it by itself. We must however also defend our public wellbeing. And that means we must set up our own:

  1. Farms
  2. Industry
  3. Defence
  4. Economy
  5. Services

  I firmly feel that we must establish our own mutual aid. When we no longer depend on capitalism and are secure, we have sown the roots for our independence from the oligarchs that form CEOs, landlords and private insurers.

  CDs? Compact discs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I disagree. Elected officials shouldn’t have investments in stocks at all, period. Nor should they be multimillionnaires or richer.
