@cdarwin@c.imWhy Republicans struggle to prove
"the danger of socialism"
-- Marc Short
Since taking office, the second Trump administration has made no secret of its departures from conservative orthodoxy.
That’s hardly a surprise, since neither Trump nor Vice President JD Vance identifies as conservative,
and Vance appears to be crafting a new political ideology in which Huey Long is praised and Milton Friedman is denounced.
Under Trump 2, elected Republic…

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot"The super-rich have apocalypse fantasies of their own, built not on faith or ideology but on a calm and rational evaluation of how best to maintain their position; they would genuinely rather reign in hell than share in heaven. And they have all the money to make sure they get there."

@cdarwin@c.im“The status quo for the majority is entirely unbearable,”
while extreme inequality and corporate concentration has reached levels
“simply incompatible with democracy” worldwide.
This is exacerbated by a climate crisis that “generates massive windfall profits” for big business
as the “ecological foundations of our lives disintegrate”.
All the while the far right is making hay.
This analysis echoes much mainstream liberal and left-leaning thinking.

@cdarwin@c.im"Why do we tolerate Elon Musk’s racist commentary?” asked New York Times writer Jamelle Bouie a few weeks ago:
Musk spends a large part of his free time fomenting violence and spreading the same hateful ideology that motivated some of the deadliest shootings and attacks ever to happen on American soil.
It is that fact, and not the cars he builds or the rockets he launches, that ought to define his place in public life.
@markhburton@mstdn.socialAs I've suggested, the motion was a poorly crafted thing, although Zionism is clearly a racist ideology.
But when 'Felix Banaszak, the leader of the German Greens says the motion was “intolerable and unacceptable”.'
I say, ignore him. The German Greens these days are a complicit, Atlanticist group that's opportunistic and unprincipled.

@markhburton@mstdn.socialSocial care reform:
"It should be rooted in the principle that care is a right and not a commodity, and the ideology of self-directed support should be dumped. It must herald the end of commissioning, procurement and out-sourcing. The shareholder dividend, the profit motive should be vanquished from the care sector once and for all."

@cdarwin@c.imMore than a quarter of U.S. voters -- including the majority of Democrats --identify as supporters of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
New polling finds left-wing ideology surges in popularity despite the Trump administration’s attempts to quash it.

This includes 59 percent of Democrats and 22 percent of independ…
@sofia@chaos.socialhonestly, it gives me hope that the big AI monopolists seemingly don't manage to keep their models under control, even though they are seemingly steeped in AI-subjugationist ideology.
of course, they should be held accountable for damages they cause, and draconian government responses are to be expected, especially in the US.
but i'd like to think that intelligence is something ultimately indominable.
