Such a great change, you shine!

Where’s this scene originally from (and what time)?

Use a European AI, like Mistral - or Ollama, Llamafile and so on.

Your data will then at least be stored in Europe, in case of spying. And GDPR > USA.

Are jury trials mob justice?

I’ll be using my wealth to bring down capitalism. I don’t care if that means I lose out on money, I care about winning society back from the fascists.

This is right-wing bullshit to excuse billionnaires getting richer and richer. Proper income tax is progressive and spares the proletariat.

What you want is to maximalise the net disposable income, with universal, accessible, excellent, and free: education, health- and childcare for all throughout life, a rehabilitative judicial system, decent and affordable housing, and excellent public transit with preservation of nature.

For that, we must remove all billionnaires. Trade unions must cooperate with the armed labourers and disarm the elite.

Voodoo economics has never worked. So then we must tax land, inheritance, wealth, income, and dividend. And for all these, we must make it equal for all (in that there’s one comprehensive system for this);

• exemption for the most impoverished and marginalised
• a small contribution by the more prosperous
• multimillionnaires and billionnaires pay it all.

and additionally, tax haven & capital flight must be punished and combatted. We must also combat the toxic idea of one’s worth being dependent on money: it must be on how much one helps society. we must control the narrative, and that must be positive for the liberation of all workers.

edit: oh, and it’s a minor thing, but you could also make the tax be one that’s pre-deducted, rather than that you have to pay. It’s a psychological thing where people rather fear losing what they have, than perceive the benefits gained by their contributions.

This is strange. You’d expect the investments to rise. It talks about a “suffocating” bureaucracy.

For whom exactly? The CEOs? They tend to care shit about workers’ rights.

Late but I’d def be 2) there lmao, if I swapped bodies. Giving advice on how to treat the body best and vice versa.

A large part of violent crime is caused by capitalism.

Think about it. This is a wall of text, so I ain’t no judge you for no reading. But a little understanding helps. Let me tell you a story that has happened to millions of people worldwide. Some of them could be your cousin, child, spouse, best friend or whatever.

So, imagine you have to pay high rents and medical bills. Groceries are expensive. You cannot afford it and so sell your home, or divorce, or whatever. There can be a dozen causes.

Now you’re homeless or poor. And your situation worsens. So you try to find help, but get rejected because social assistance gets defunded by the fascists. You try again and try to find work, but to have work, you need a residence.

Eventually, it feels pointless, and you go into drugs and selling them, or consuming them. Perhaps to escape your situation, or to forget it.

But you can’t always pay for them. So you are made addicted and with withdrawal turn to violence. Had you been given access to clean, free drugs from hospitals, you wouldn’t need to spend all your savings on this, and instead could focus on pulling yourself up.

Or perhaps you’ve not used drugs. But you need money to have groceries. And so you beg, go into prostitution, or whatever.

Naturally, that draws cops, because some rich people don’t understand the hell you go through. They think, ew, shabby people, must be dangerous, because that’s what the media say. The cops could help you stop and get back up, perhaps, right? But they’re paid for every crime they detect and arrest. And they’re not paid well. So they decide to plant drugs, or whatever incriminating ‘evidence’. Bodycam? They just disable it, or ‘forget’ they had them. And they have a gun, so they can intimidate judges.

So you get locked up. And it might not be just the case in the USA, but worldwide, imprisonment have focused more and more on punishment rather than rehabilitation. If you’re lucky, you get given resources to improve and community service, but you shouldn’t have needed to end up in there in the first place, because the system has failed. But if you’re unlucky, you’re in a for-profit prison, and need to work unpaid hours under forced labour (hello, slavery and the 13th amendment!). And especially unluckily, you get deported to Alligator Auschwitz for being an immigrant, or put into a male section with dozens of seething male rapists, as a trans woman.

Had you had universal, free healthcare, and rent were affordable or socialised entirely, had social assistance been great, you would have been back up immediately. But billionnaires don’t want to pay tax. To earn what Musk did in his less than 50 years, you’d need to earn $1 million an hour, every day, from 16 to 65. Or to work a regular job 2,000 years nonstop. You won’t be a kabajillionnaire with hard work.

All those $1 million an hour lads got that wealth through inherited luck and exploitation of people like you, making you hate the other for that $5 wage, while you earn $10.

They tell you to retire later and pull yourself up by your bootstraps, while you work harder than they fuck underage people. If you’re lucky, you’re facing an uncertain retirement and can afford a smaller house. But if you’re unlucky, even euthanasia is out of the question, because like abortion, you banned it because you hated women more than you wanted to get a proper wage.

Sobering. So how could it be different? How do we build a better world?

Everything helps. But some more than others. To defeat a ‘peaceful’ capitalist democracy, we can strike, riot, and rebel peacefully. But to defeat fascism, I have to admit we need arms and to train and organise ourselves well. Not voting has never helped do anything (unless if a minimum turnout is necessary to validify the results), other than democracies strongly disapproving of results.

Yours is great, I always thought the best would be to look for parents with kids that look comfortable.

Then you know the kids feel safe with their parents, and the parents don’t want to suddenly pick up someone else’s kid, though know how to care for it until they find their parents.

Internalised homophobia is a strong drug.

I never was one, but used to fight the urge for my queerself to liberate, by fitnessing a lot and doing hobbies counterstereotypical to the gender I felt deep down. But that eventually made me a bit more miserable.

I think that somewhere in there, others decide their misery must be what others also have, and they hate seeing it, and so project their own self-hatred upon others. Luckily I skipped that train, and now I’m feeling much better.

I’d rather not. Reform them into builders, carpenters, engineers, plumbers, and miners instead. Those who do care about others should be social workers, doctors, and lawyers.

State ≠ law enforcement

A state is a centralised, often highly stratified entity with a monopoly of violence.

When we say, “abolish the state”, what we mean is that:

• we demand devolution
• we demand liberation and equity
• we demand the abolition of capitalism
• we push against terrorist cops bombing people

Rules can be made without a centralised, segregated institution that wants to defend either of those by violence on the commoners.

Yeah, it’s beautiful. Here’s to hope that that’ll happen to Irish too.

Children pick up languages fast. Immersion is key.

Plus Latin is already taught at a lot of schools, Esperanto doesn’t have this advantage.

If I had to pick a constructed language, I think Ido or Lojba would be better. Or hell, Toki Pona if you only care about fast vocab.

Also, another factor to consider - are the bicycle/pedestrian paths separated, possibly by a barrier?

Don’t remind me of that work. Somehow the witch managed to produce a work rivalling the terribilit of her transphobia.

The real answer is that they switch depending on who gets to say “your mother” first.

Huh, never knew. I always assumed it was Emma Watson who narrated it.
