   We can learn how to structure our social interactions in ways that favor collaboration and mutual aid. We can move away from centralized authorities. We can do better than "authority", hierarchy, and concentrated power.

   It isn't easy. You can't turn on a dime to shift paradigms. You can't unlearn things overnight. You won't immediately know how to problem solve and work together.

   But that doesn't mean it isn't worth it.

   The flagrant lawbreaking by Trump, Musk et al is not, as Big Journalism says in its standard timid way, merely a push to expand presidential power.

   It is testing whether there are ANY limits to presidential power whatsoever. It is testing whether Trump is king.

   Why can't journalists get this?

   In time—with widespread availability of printing technology—a fourth estate would emerge: the press. Having never been subsumed into form of government itself, the press would demonstrate the role of institutional power to check the power of other estates; thereby sovereign power.

   It's not about the constitution of a legislative body or of courts (which also seated lords), but the cohesive power of each estate to influence and interfere with the interests of the others, thereby society itself.

   @timnitGebru It's so true. Thanks for speaking truth to power.

   It's amazing that people who don't know math simply have billions to waste. Seems a bit irresponsible for a society to allow that, especially since there are so many important problems out there.

   This 22-minute short film was made by the US Army just after the Second World War, warning about the tactics that Nazis use to gain power.

   It's baffling how many parallels there are with current political developments. I think this video should be shown in every school around the world.

   "Trump aims to preside over an increasingly reactionary and expansionist nation where tech titans like Zuckerberg, Bezos and a thousand faceless oil &gas execs plunder our planet & dismantle any fact-based reality in pursuit of personal wealth & power.

   It IS about the lithium & natural gas deposits under the Arctic Circle, A.I. and making sure Hollywood knows its place if they want a streaming deal on Amazon."
