This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Opinion | Liam Ramos Was Just One of Hundreds of Children at This Detention Center. Release Them All.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

Disse løgnene har ikke til hensikt å overbevise noen. De er en maktdemonstrasjon: De forteller folket hva de risikerer dersom de demonstrerer mot føderale bøllers fremferd i lokalmiljøet; de forteller føderale bøller at dette er akseptabelt; de forteller alle at sannhet er underordnet makt.

Nå er det ganske nøyaktig ett år siden mange norske medier gjorde all mulig mental gymnastikk for å slippe å slå fast, uten hvis og at og eufemismer, at Elon Musk gjorde en fascisthilsen. Det siste årets hendelser viser med all tydelighet hva som er så viktig med å bruke et ærlig og tydelig språk.

Spørsmålet bør ikke bare være hvor mye energi KI krever, men hvilken verdi den skaper.

0. KI skaper 0 verdi. Faktisk er verdien av KI netto negativ etter kvart som det øydelegg utdanning, forvalting, kognitiv evne og kreativitet.

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

Nå begynner jeg å skjønne hvorfor personligheter fra den samme høirefløi mener at Humaniora-utdanninger er tulleutdanninger.

11. One day, you too will own five superhomes, a giant yacht, a private jet etc. So will the child slaves digging coltan in the DRC, and the Uyghurs making components in Chinese labour camps.
How was anyone persuaded that the gains would be universally enjoyed? That is, and always was, a lie.

10. Capitalism's promise is that we can all aspire to private luxury. Never mind that the system is built on some people exploiting others, who must remain poor if exploitation is to succeed. Never mind that there isn’t even physical space (let alone ecological space) for universal private luxury.

Milliardærer gir store summer til høyresiden, samtidig som høyresiden finner stadig nye, absurde argumenter for å kutte skatten til milliardærene. Dette er ren handel i penger og makt. Elon Musk har vist oss hvordan det kan gå når milliardærene får bestemme for mye. Det er viktig å stoppe dem.

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Det er fint og viktig å donere penger. Gå i demonstrasjonstog. Si fra. Stå opp. Rope.

Men det aller, aller viktigste akkurat du kan gjøre er dette:

Stem på ansvarlige voksne i september.

excerpt from THEY KNEW

:There was a coup in America, and no one noticed. It was a slow-moving coup, decades in the making, forged by redefining laws and loyalty until the contours of betrayal blurred."
