Think a 'small' nuclear #war is survivable? #Science says no.

Even a regional conflict between #India and #Pakistan could plunge Earth into a freezing decade. Now imagine AI in command.

The Barter Lie: How Capitalism Rewrote Economic History  The claim that money developed as a medium of exchange to overcome the limits of bartering has become an article of faith in neoclassical economics, but it's dead wrong.

The "barter to money" story is a myth. Anthropologists found ancient economies ran on credit & social trust, not inefficient swaps. We didn't invent money for trade; we invented it to track debts. 📜🍻

Why do textbooks push the barter myth? Not because it’s true, but because it makes #markets feel "natural" and "fair." If we start with exchange, we ignore the #wars, #politics, and power struggles that really decide who gets what. Markets don't emerge from a vacuum.

The largest divide today is w/ the infinitesimal # of people still holding onto the fake, veneer deep "electoral democracy", the institutions that have been built to create cultural hegemony through the ruling class vs those who see through the lies & want better & refuse to carry the lie forward.

Your parents, teachers, #politicians, and favorite #journalists all repeated the same lie:
“The government must budget like a household.”
It’s false—and it’s killing our ability to fight poverty, #inequality, and climate collapse.

Everything you were taught about #money is wrong.
The U.S. can’t “run out,” taxes don’t fund Fed. spending, & the “nat. debt” isn’t a debt.
Shocking, but 100% true.
Unlearn #myths which keep #healthcare, #climate action, and a livable future, out of our grasp.

NEW EP with Dr. Ali Kadri!!

Capitalism isn’t just markets and greed. It’s a destructive social relationship. War, austerity, pollution, and genocide aren’t accidents that occasionally happen to capitalism. They are outcomes to be monetized. 💥
