Dark Times. 🇺🇦🍉

A new issue of Prospect has hit the newsstands! Here’s a preview of what you can find inside.

First up, Nobel-winning economist Daron Acemoglu reveals what tech bros won’t say about AI. They want it to subjugate us—but it doesn’t have to be that way: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/techno...

The workers in Marseille refused three containers full of military equipment which included 14 tonnes of machine gun components and spare parts bound for Haifa. The dockers in Genoa later inspected each container to ensure that no military cargo was on the ship.

This! Sustainability is more important than growth. Fuckin’ capitalists, man. They just don’t get it. Thank you for this response!

I love the idea that America is going to “Home Alone” its way out of dictatorship 😂

Agreed. It becomes a toxic whirlwind where everybody loses. The normalising of different size men and women as attractive is needed, rather than conforming to toxic masculine and feminine norms. It takes well-placed people and platforms to change these norms though. Maybe one day it will change…

I think it’s understandable if a woman is 6ft or thereabouts herself… I know that’s propped-up by ridiculous and toxic societal norms, but some tall women already feel somewhat masculine and they want to find big men that enable them to feel feminine. Thoughts?

Well done! Kudos!

So disturbing. So very, very disturbing.

I think you lost the Tik-Tok crowd…

For THEM ❤️❤️ society is built on so much terror and inhumanity. I hope every single person is confronted with this. Thank you, and keep fighting 💕

It’s when the Ministry of Truth is set up

Oh, oh, I know the answer to this one… slave labour with a mixture of shame and guilt wielded as a tool to achieve compliance and submission?

This.

A special loophole… like at the end of a rope?

All I can say is… 😂😂😂

EAT RHE RICH!! Yes girl!!

Yes!!!! Only idiots would disagree with this!

This is all the evidence anyone needs to see his narcissistic personality and how he absolutely should never have been allowed to become president.

Yeah I’ve also been in a doctors’ surgery and a boomer was watching something with the sound blasting. Was on a plane near a boomer watching his iPad with headphones in but the sound blasting, he had no idea they weren’t plugged in correctly. So many 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ moments.

Youths need outlets, not control.

Yeah… humanists need to be more present in communities to rival these churches that are picking up kids and “helping them”. The money here is huge and they are able to fund so many missionary trips and all sorts. How do we compete with that?

I’ve come to the conclusion that most of our political problems these days are because there are so many hurt and angry people who just cannot stand anyone else being happy, successful or uplifting others. They are being eaten alive by their own misery. Guys… a lot of people are not okay, not well.

And who decides who is “genuinely disabled”? How many times have you had to demonstrate to somebody how needy you are and go against every ounce of pride you have because you are desperate? Eh? Please, I know the system gets abused, but the system is depriving genuine people, too.

And how do you know this, may I ask? Because you’re clearly not a young person, if we are making assumptions about each other that is…

We have a system that needs updating, much like any tech operating system, you cannot expect it to function if you haven’t updated it recently.

The needs of the people simply aren’t being met as well as they could be. And of course it’s not easy, but having politicians who will fight is a start.

Attacking people for their reasonable points isn’t going to win anybody over.

And I’m sure there are plenty of individuals who spend all day on their computer who could be in work. I’ve met some of them. They apply constantly for jobs. It’s really not a simple fix.

You clearly don’t actually know anybody disabled.

How are we not building even more innovative “new towns” already? Wtf is actually wrong with us???
