all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

The latter approach is the only viable solution, but it will require conscious human evolution and the determined assertion of our better selves. 5/5

While past experience suggests the former approach will win out, this is not a viable option because it is a recipe for the collapse and destruction of human civilization. 4/5

The alternative is transition to a more balanced and equitable stewardship of the planet; coordinated remediation of the climate crisis; and the dismantling of social and economic hierarchies at the domestic and global levels. 3/5

The first option is the reassertion of planetary domination — through violence and bigotry — by the elites of white colonial powers, increasingly inflamed and subjugated by US empire managers. 2/5

There are two possible responses to the dual crises convulsing the planet right now: (a) looming climate breakdown and (b) the death throes of a collapsing US global empire. 🧵1/5

Actual number is very conservatively over 500k.
And probably closer to 700k and rising.

They used the same stringent death verification game with the invasion of Iraq.
In the end it wasn’t 80k dead. It was a million.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

It is no longer tenable to claim that Gaza is not genocide or that the US is not responsible. This fact has far-reaching implications that our elites do not yet understand. How do you explain why the US empire is committing genocide? I think I know why, but every plausible explanation is alarming.

“That really does give the US potentially a very powerful weapon against any kind of challenge by China to its global power. I think that’s the kind of strategic thinking we’re seeing around the region at the moment.” 3/3

“The Gulf’s oil now is mostly sold to China and East Asia. It doesn’t flow to Europe. It doesn’t flow to the US. It flows east.” 2/3

Adam Hanieh: “The centrality of the Middle East to the global oil economy is often left out of the picture, and I really do think it’s impossible to understand the year of genocide we’re witnessing without centering the story of oil.” 🧵1/3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=E41F...

A failure to understand climate science is not the problem here.

The American regime opposes effective action on climate because renewable energy threatens to negate their ability to exert global dominance.

They will burn the world to the ground before voluntarily surrendering that power.

There are two basic facts that are essential to understanding global climate policy:

1) The preferred geopolitical weapon of the modern US empire has been the imposition of energy starvation.

2) The primary strategic vulnerability of China is that they are reliant upon energy imports.

Daniel Ellsberg Is Dying. And He Has Some Final Things to Say. The iconic whistleblower reflects on the urgent need for others to follow in his footsteps.

In his last interview, Daniel Ellsberg argued that the US runs a “covert empire” around the world, embodied by NATO; the US deliberately provoked war in Ukraine by expanding NATO eastward; and the notion that the US are "the good guys" abroad "has always been false." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Study: Pretending Everything's Okay Works CAMBRIDGE, MA—A study released Thursday by researchers at Harvard University’s Department of Psychology has found that the simple act of pretending one’s life is not a complete shambles threatening to...

It seems like a bad thing that Elon Musk and Steve Bannon both gave the fascist salute in public and everyone moved on and pretended it never happened.

In all fairness, Schumer and Jeffries are doing what their funders want them to do. The problem is that their funders like what Trump is doing and want him to keep doing it.

Also, someone who supports nearly constant military aggression, including genocide, is not pro-life.

"Arrested", Guardian? Stop pretending that Israel has any kind of legal right to abduct peace activists – either in international waters or in Gaza's waters.

This was yet another act of piracy by Israel.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Just gonna keep tapping the sign*
