Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it. You simply don’t need to. You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space. Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends. The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X. And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.) #WSocial #NoWNoX #surveillance #capitalism #BigTech #VC @_elena@mastodon.social https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116770291207686239

The U.S. Is Terrorizing Cuba to Make Rich Men Richer

Cuba’s blackouts are getting worse. Many are going days without any light at all and the public electric company is “fighting to provide even a few hours of power a day.” The gas stations are empty. There are “mosquitos everywhere.” People in high-rise apartments are cooking with charcoal, risking carbon monoxide poisoning and deadly fires. The suffering of Cubans has been inflicted upon them on purpose. It is the intention of U.S. policy to make the Cuban people suffer, and endanger their lives, in order to put pressure on their government. The Trump administration is waging a “pressure campaign aimed at forcing political and economic changes in Cuba.” The Trump administration, earlier this year, took “the almost unprecedented measure of blocking all oil shipments to a country with which it is not at war.” That means that food aid can’t be distributed on the island, because there’s no way to transport it. Once fully-stocked bodega shelves are now empty. (Not because “socialism” is causing shortages, since people had enough to eat before, but as a direct result of the blockade.) The UN reports that the U.S. policy is killing babies and children: “infant mortality has doubled to 9.9 per 1,000 births; childhood cancer survival rates have fallen from 85 to 65 per cent; and essential medicines are available at only around 30 per cent of normal supply levels.” The UN human rights chief’s verdict on the U.S. is scathing: “Such severe sanctions packages that target entire sectors of an economy and produce broad, indiscriminate and harsh effects on populations are incompatible with basic principles of international human rights law.” But even this condemnation is too mild. The U.S. pressure campaign amounts to nothing but terrorism: making people sick, making them poor, making them suck in carbon monoxide, starving them, denying children their cancer treatments, in order to try to force a change in their government’s policy.

“My fear is that W Social is just another for-profit Big Tech startup that happens to be based in the EU. We don’t need that. We don’t need more European surveillance capitalists and people farmers. We need ethical alternatives working for the common good.” – Yours truly, in @_elena@mastodon.social’s excellent expose on W Social. https://blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-public-institutions-and-the-theater-of-european-digital-sovereignty/ Do read the article to the end, especially noting the bit about the composition of their board of advisors, which includes an ex-Google AI lead and an ex-Paypal Chief [Violate Your] Privacy Officer who now works at Tools for Humanity (Sam Altman’s “Sci-fi dystopia? Hold my beer…” identity farming startup that wants to scan your eyeballs). #WSocial #EuropeWashing #PrivacyWashing #BigTech #peopleFarming #surveillance #capitalism #EU #ATProto #fediverse

New modeling from The Lancet suggests the USAID funding cuts will kill 14 million people. Many of them are children. 600,000 have already died. The man who gutted the program? Elon Musk. The world’s first trillionaire. He has a trillionaire dollars and is murdering the poorest people on earth. He should be in jail. Billionaires and trillionaires should not exist in a world where millions die from poverty every year. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X%2825%2900281-5/fulltext #usaid #disability #ableism #eugenics #musk #capitalism #poverty #publichealth #uspol

...No discussion of Western hypocrisy is complete without Ursula von der Leyen, the unelected queen of the European Commission and an unequivocal master of the genre. There is a video, widely circulated at this point, of von der Leyen being heckled by a member of the public. The man asks a difficult question. She responds with a smile and a line that was clearly rehearsed: ‘If this was in Russia, he would be arrested.’ The crowd laughed. The man was arrested.

The world is heading toward the greatest economic crisis of all time. On the one hand, because of Trump’s idiotic war that is blocking the Strait of Hormuz; on the other, because the economy is evaluated solely on the basis of growth. Endless economic growth is the philosophy of a cancer cell. The common good, environmental destruction, and population decline are not factored in at all. This can only lead to a crisis that keeps getting worse. meme #economy #down #downhill #capitalism #war #hormuz #inflation #groth #philosophy #politics #trade #world #worldorder #future #society #trump #finance #poverty #rich #equality #environment #emissions #pollution #earth #civilization #crisis #collapse #apocalypse #doomsday

“We are being walked toward an arrangement in which money and property exist only as entries in databases that a central authority controls. Bank balances, wages, pensions, the deed to a house, the title to a car, the small float that gets a family from one paycheck to the next, all of it rendered as numbers that someone else can edit. The pitch emphasizes speed, lower costs, and an end to the grubby inconvenience of physical currency. The cost it leaves out is the loss of any way to hold or move value that does not first pass through a gate, and the corresponding power that gate confers on whoever owns it.” https://bolesblogs.com/2026/06/11/the-off-switch-when-money-becomes-permission/ #money #capitalism

People who can't work for a living have to find some other way to pay their dues to the morbidly rich. And now tell me again how capitalism differs from cancer? #MorbidlyRich #capitalism #WorkForALiving #redistribution #WealthRedistribution #CapitalismIsCancer #EndCapitalism

It is so stupid and crazy how normalized the wage gap is. I just sat next to someone that had a bag of clothes worth as much as my yearly salary. No not spending money i am talking salary. They spend that in a day and had the bag just casually standing next to me. I dont earn little which makes this 10 times worse. I dont like how normal this is. During the Revolution in france the wage gap was way way smaller btw Eat the rich pls :3 Lets normalize hating te rich. Like spitting in their food and planning a revolution <3 (Hypothetically ofc) #fcktherich #fucktherich #hatecapitalism #capitalism Uii i like this hashtag <333 #eattherich
