Fuck Le Pen, fuck Trump, fuck Farage and fuck all the fascists that have won political power off the back of neoliberal governments naively believing they can 'debate them in the market place of ideas' rather than smashing them on the streets like we should have been doing all along.
“The beatings will increase until you love Israel” is not quite the way I thought American politics would go in 2024, but it seems that’s where we’re at
Funny how since #GretaThunberg started talking about how the #ClimateCrsis is linked to the ills of #capitalism, and actually engaged in activism advocating for it's undoing, suddenly she's nowhere to be seen on TV, Davos, the UN etc etc.
I'm trying to find out about a social experiment that took place in Mechelen, Belgium that essentially took a small park and divided it up into smaller sections and gave the land to residents by lottery. The residents could then decide what to do with the land; either use it themselves or join up to do something together.
I THINK the architects 51N4E were involved and the park in question was Tinel Park, but I'm not sure.
We are living in the age of Palliative #Capitalism.
Everyone knows that it's a dead system with no future. Yet we are forced to prop up it's dying practices because it's still making money for the priveleged few.
It's time to do the only humane thing and pull the plug.
Remember when the Panama Papers came out? Remember that it evidenced a global network of tax-dodging, wealth-hoarding, criminal activity by the super-rich? Remember how literally nothing happened?
How long can this go on for? How long before we realise we’re being screwed over while they boil the planet? How long before a #revolution drags these bastards into The Hague?
