Ich bin jetzt Fördermitglied bei #GermanZero.
GermanZero e.V. kämpft dafür, dass Deutschland seine Zusage im Weltklimaabkommen von Paris 2015 einhält, die Erderhitzung auf 1,5 Grad zu begrenzen. Unsere Vision ist ein klimaneutrales Deutschland, in dem Freiheit, Demokratie, Gerechtigkeit und gelebte Solidarität allen Menschen ein selbstbestimmtes Leben ermöglichen.
Zu diesem Zweck…

"Under the banner of democracy, freedom and human rights, the United States has thereby extended its domination over large swathes of the world, presenting itself as a benevolent benefactor rather than a domineering despot. It has, in this way, perfected the use of empire denial as the best cover for the construction of its imperium."
Gabriel Rockill
True, but the current regime is taking the huge risk of ending that pretence. Let's hope that heralds its fall.

And "free" also implies that the worker is supposedly completely free. He is free in the sense that he can sell for as high a price as he can manage.
Himself?
Yes, for as much money as possible. - Now, in this market, the computer replaces the best thing the worker has to offer: knowledge and skill. The machine takes over both, and he himself is degraded to a mere machine operator. His actual abilities have been coaxed out of him and incorporated into the device. Consequently, he has less to sell than before, and what he can still sell is worth less.
He himself loses value?
Yes, because he is not only robbed of the ability to provide bread for his family, but also of one of the signs that prove to him that he is human. Now he is simplified and transformed into an operator. (Almost like in Kafka, where a man is transformed into a beetle; Kafka is a prophet in that regard.)"
Joseph Weizenbaum, Kurs auf den Eisberg, Serie Piper, Munich, 1987
