"Hear me president Trump when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

"Can you look at a mountain and not just calculate its mineral worth? Can you understand that a mountain has much more than the value of the minerals in it?"

- Arundathi Roy, Democracy Now interview 2019

It's actually unhinged that starving people is legal.

Very obviously at this point, trickle down economics was capitalist propaganda at best and gaslighting at worst.

An insult to possums. They are amazing 🤩

Sounds like a white maga dude to me 🤷‍♀️

Extreme wealth inequality wouldn't be a policy choice if it weren't also a social norm. #capitalism

Minimum wage pays below the poverty line because capitalists built the economic system on slavery, genocide and exploitation - and that's how it still runs on marginalized people's suffering. And all of this is legalized so think again when you confuse legality for morality.

This is like really, really bad.

What aspect of our socialization has desensitized you the most?

It's not retirement home, it's just common sense 😅

Becoming disabled for years is a painful and freeing journey of confronting internalized ableism. There's so many layers to it; it's necessary to do our healing work and recognize devaluation of disabled people is a deeply manipulative tactic of class warfare.

"Within a capitalist consumer society, the cult of personality has the power to subsume ideas, to make the person, the personality into the product and not the work itself."

I run free quarterly workshops to support folks who long to create a livable planet, abolish systemic oppression and want to figure out how to do that while surviving colonial capitalism.

Every single day people accuse me of complicity in Capitalism because I have the word money in my handle.

Did you know it's possible to make money without exploiting people? It takes strategy and conscientious forethought but it's possible.

SNAP benefits are not running dry, people are being exploited and starved by the government.

While I understand the reality behind it, telling people generally across the board to save 3-6 months of expenses to create some semblance of financial security while 60% of us are living paycheck to paycheck is cruel. Who you're really speaking to is not the majority.

United is one of the largest airlines in the world. If you had any spine at all you would cancel flights until air traffic controllers and TSA workers are paid and the healthcare is protected.

United CEO John Scott Kirby is predicably falling in line next to JD Vance and MAGA politicians blaming Dems for the current shutdown. We see right through you, along with every other capitalist it's all about profits.

Appreciate so much history in this thread! Confused about this part because it sounds contradictory- capitalists don't actually believe in a free market as shown through behavior, that's why they monopolize, exploit and extract as much as possible

Classism is essentially the fuel that runs the machine of capitalism.

Creating and maintaining social conditions where individuals of all ages daily suffer malnutrition and starvation is a form of class warfare that increasingly goes unnoticed in this society."

- bell hooks, where we stand: Class Matters

"To be poor in the United States today is to be always at risk. The object of scorn and shame. Without mass-based empathy for the poor, it is possible for ruling class groups to mask class terrorism and genocidal acts.

Where are all the bsky anti-capitalists?? Let's connect 🩷

"SNAP benefits run dry.." says ABC capitalist owned media.

No, the government is stealing from all of our tax dollars and starving 1 in 8 American people to subsidize capitalist billionaires. Meanwhile Congress is still getting paid.

If I didn't have any free government food programs as a kid or in grad school I wouldn't be alive. For those who can relate you know how important SNAP is.

It's how capitalists get away with extreme exploitation of their employees, how billionaires are billionaires. It also keeps us workers alive.

Please list some food banks here that need funding in your area right now. SNAP is still not funded and 1 in 8 people depend on it (41+ million folks) and need to eat!

Food banks can make $1 stretch more than going to the store or giving money directly. My local food bank uses $1 to create 4 meals!

Please don't stop putting pressure on the government and don't stop talking about SNAP. Your neighbor is currently going hungry, SNAP is still not funded. Please donate to your local food bank, if all you have is $1, even that can create 4 meals for the community.
