  RE: https://mastodon.social/@BrianHarrod/116982665997777798 This is hopeful: people are waking up: "Views of capitalism have gone from 30 points positive in 2019 (57% favorable to 27% unfavorable among registered voters) to just four points positive today (50%-46%). "The poll also shows 65% of voters agree that “the system is rigged to favor the wealthy.” That’s up from 56% in Trump’s first term." #capitalism #narcissism

  RE: https://mstdn.ca/@thenarwhal/116958920700169756 Harper and Carney share a core belief that public money should go to rich people. Everything they say is to justify or obfuscate that. Prove me wrong, please. It's what conservatives do. "Stephen Harper swore by it; Mark Carney is ready to invest taxpayer dollars in it.

This is ridiculous (about #AI use at companies): "The failure rate is so high that even basic inquiry leaves us in an untenable position.

  Outstanding illustration of the difference between Average and Median, and how important that difference is. Very, very rich people are dragging up the average in some countries and making it look like everyone there has more income. #math #wealth #income #TaxTheRich

  RE: https://mstdn.ca/@Sanderde/116923667330855950 Canadian Conservatives elected a narcissist and good luck getting rid of him voluntarily. He went from university to Member of Parliament, from mom's house to a house with a chauffeur and housekeeper. His Venezuelan wife accompanies him to government meetings; neither has a security clearance. (Very likely that neither qualifies for one.) He's never held a real job and who wants to hire a professional asshole, which is Poilievre's o...

  "AI, then, isn’t just the fantasy of a world without people — it’s the fantasy of a world without people…except for slaves.

  The rich and their lackeys smear anything progressive as ‘communist’ or ’socialist.’ This happens in every single country, and it’s false. "it’s important to understand what the current uproar over socialism is really about. For the most part, it’s an attempt to distract from the danger posed by the important radical movement in America — that of right-wing radicals who want to dismantle both social democracy and democracy itself.” #capitalism #socialism https://paulkrugman.substack....

  We have allowed political sociopaths to create a world designed for other sociopaths, not decent humans. #Capitalism sorts the sociopaths to the top. "Sure, the worst people imaginable run these companies [Facebook, Google, Apple, etc], but the reason they’re able to yield to their most venal impulses and succeed is because the world has been re-arranged to make sociopathy and greed into fitness factors.” #narcissism #enshittification #pathocracy https://doctorow.medium.com/https-plur...

  RE: https://mstdn.ca/@hamishb/116527943181851173 Carney is making very clear which side he's on, if you watch his actions, not his words. And it does not appear to be our side. "Is Mark Carney here for Canadians or for foreign investment corporations?" #cdnpoli

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/116408919391515540 Fun fact #1: Sociopaths (narcissists, psychopaths, and Machiavellians) never mature past a childlike level. Never. Fun fact #2: Donald Trump is a narcissistic psychopath. So is Putin. Many of our leaders are some flavour of sociopath. They have no conscience, feel no guilt, have no loyalty, are sadistic...it was probably a bad idea to give them power. Fun fact #3: 1% of the population are sociopaths. 21% of CEOs are. 25% of the prison p...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@TinJar/116365819242025033 This problem has been solved, but politicians - and their wealthy patrons - do not want it. After WWII, the Allies required Germans to change their electoral system to prevent another Hitler from gaining power. They moved to a type of #proportionalrepresentation. That should have been the signal for every democracy to look at their own electoral system, but no. And the rich oppose democracy generally, because its...democratic. They don’t...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@adwright/116369173379860997 This is my concern, too. Trump has been humiliated and narcissists cannot abide that. He may well look for a target that he perceives as easier pickings. So, we're all back on the menu. Colombia, Canada, Cuba, and Greenland/Denmark should be gravely concerned. The #EpsteinFiles have not gone away, either, and he's caused inflation and unemployment, so he still needs distractions. #narcissism #pathocracy

  RE: https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/116346781244046341 When Trump said he wanted to bomb Iran back to the stone age, this is part of that. Republicans don't regard middle easterners as white and worthy, but as savages. Therefore they have no need of education or a health care system, because they are subhuman animals. This is fascism.

  The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't buy their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying: "They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies." #F35 #cdnpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/norad-canada-us-f35-9.7059800

  @cstross@wandering.shop Great points in the article. This one, for example... "if Iran wants future presidents not to repeat this war, the precedent they want to set is “attacking Iran is a presidency-ending mistake.” And to do that, well, they need to end a presidency or at least make clear they could have done." 🍿

  RE: https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/116212860531177440 So, Trump’s Iran war: 1. Causes big spike in oil prices just as Russian economy reported to be on the verge of collapse, in large part due to low oil prices; 2. Opens India to Russian oil again; 2. Uses weapons that could have helped #Ukraine; and 3. Hurts Americans. Trump is a Russian asset or very useful idiot. #IranWar #Iran #Russia
