@hippyjo@c.imThere is a divide in the world centered around privilege. For many, the cries of people suffering terrible injustice and abuse are comfortably removed.
For others, the sight of privileged people deliberately tuning out the suffering that surrounds them so they can better enjoy their privilege is like getting kicked in the teeth after being knocked down by a bully.
Our society is a monstrous abomination of cruelty, greed, and self-absorption.
Consider Ukraine, and how the we…
@cdarwin@c.imSen. Bernie Sanders said at a “No Kings” protest on Saturday that mega-billionaires have “hijacked” the economy,
slamming some of the wealthiest people in the nation.
“This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth who,
in their insatiable greed,
have hijacked our economy and our political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout this country,”
Sanders said in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

@cdarwin@c.imChicago Mayor Brandon Johnson boldly called for Americans to stage a general strike
during his speech at his city’s
‘No Kings’ rally on Saturday.
Summoning people of all backgrounds to unite and take a stand against
Donald Trump’s “tyranny,”
the “ultra-wealthy”
and corporate greed,
Johnson said,
“We are going to make them pay their fair share in taxes to fund our school, to fund jobs, to fund healthcare, to fund transportation"
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioI really despise having to live through the fall of an empire, entirely brought on by decadence, greed, blind hate and indifference to human suffering.
And there's still tons of "centrists" who think this is "just politics", despite their children having to grow up in a hellscape.
@dhuyvetter@mastodon.socialCapitalism incentivizes those who are willing to sell out, those born with sociopathic tendencies. Those willing and eager to trample everyone around them and purge their own humanity, are rewarded. Endless greed, endless thirst for power, the total absence of values — the dominant world system rewards these traits and behaviors.

In Ukraine, innocents suffer because of US corruption, greed, and cruelty, while in the US, innocents suffer because of the Kremlin corruption, greed, and cruelty.
Anyone who tries to argue differently is simply an idiot who is useful to many evil causes.
The evidence is all around, if one only cares enough to look. Too many are complacent, which is the same as being complicit.

@kurtsh@mastodon.socialA sense of total injustice is what's bothering everyone.
Republicans have, however, managed to suppress that sentiment in favor of racism, greed, violence & ego.
And that's what you see from Trump, ICE, tariffs & his military invasions of American cities.

@geant@mstdn.social💸 “Earn €1,000 a week. 100% safe. Limited time only!”
It looks tempting. Everyone else seems to be doing it. And the inner voice says: what if it’s real?
That’s exactly how cyber criminals exploit social engineering tactics like curiosity, greed, and FOMO to get us to fall for the bait.
When something sounds too good to be true, pause & breathe. Try box breathing (4–4–4–4) to reset before you click.

@kurtsh@mastodon.social @hippyjo@c.imUkrainian update: Trump does not speak for Ukrainian people, and he is in fact, a conniving thief and murderous war criminal.
As the news of Ukraine is dominated by Russian spokesmen Witkoff and Kushner, it is refreshing to have a perspective not steeped in greed, cruelty, and deceit.

@andycarolan@social.lol @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioThe whole thing is optimized for scams, deception and other criminal behavior:
- user interface that deceptively pretends it's a human you're talking to
- claims from companies highly exaggerate capabilities
companies and "experts" constantly hype "AGI" which they (funnily enough) do to both make investors greedier and spread fear and as a distraction because these algorithms can't actually do what they keep promising
- large-scale accounting and financial fraud (e.g. what Nvidia is doing with circular selling)
- biggest case of copyright infringement in history
Note: I think the underlying technology is really cool, and definitely has use cases and can be used for actually good things. But: some technology just has more downsides than upsides, and some should only be used by experts in controlled environments. Leaded gasoline, asbestos and chlorofluorocarbon are also all really cool technology.
In this case perhaps the techology itself doesn't do anything inherently bad, however the people making it are lying about what it can do, the people selling it are motivated purely by greed and the people using it (often forced to do so) are being deceived.
@kurtsh@mastodon.socialPutting aside his illegal actions to sate his greed, thirst for power & immorality, #Trump's disrespect for the military has been absolutely disgusting.

@hippyjo@c.imHungary is a disgusting reminder of the cruelty, greed, and ignorance Russia thrives on.
They spy on Ukraine and support Moscow's war crimes and genocide of Ukrainian people and culture.

@hippyjo@c.imRussia uses nuclear fallout as a catastrophe generator to terrorize Ukraine and the world.
Attacking Chernobyl and leaving it without power to avoid contaminating the world is a blatant attack on humanity and decency.
This is Russia to the core, perverted, insane, and villainous. They define themselves as the opposite of everything the west stands for.
You won't find US corporate media reporting this truth - they are in league with the greed and cruelty of billionaires …
@hippyjo@c.imIn Ukraine, the void left by the USA is bigger than Europe can fill. Russia continues to rape and destroy while the rest of the world looks away.
As an American, each day is a new descent into shame and disgust as I witness the cruelty and greed of my fellow citizens and Trump's band of billionaire bastards.
All I can do is try to share information that might raise awareness sufficient to instill some true empathy and concern amongst the comfortably uninformed.
