"Their inaction, their neutrality, their “pragmatic” accommodation—every golden plaque presented to Trump, every settlement paid to avoid retaliation, every silent acquiescence to constitutional destruction—all of this is discrediting capitalism in the eyes of ordinary Americans in ways that no socialist organizer could achieve. They are acting like the cartoon villains Marxists make them out to be"

How America’s Business Elite Became Their Own Marxist Caricature
There is a moment in every authoritarian takeover when the business elite must choose between principle and profit, between defending the system that made their wealth possible and accommodating th…

The more I immerse myself in anarchist philosophy through works on The Anarchist Library and discussions on YouTube, the more clearly I come to despise capitalism as an exploitative system and all hierarchical power structures that perpetuate domination and inequality.

This is actually a superb, forensic report by Special Rappoteur Frencesca Albanese on the contribution of global #capitalism to the #GazaGenocide, which I'd encourage everyone to read.
Every paragraph is worth quoting.

The reason we keep building the Torment Nexus is because all we have are Torment Nexus factories in a system designed by and for Torment Nexus factory owners.

For every $1 valuation of a billion-dollar company, at least 50¢ is in the pocket of a lucky person who thinks they're smart, most of whom had rich parents to boot. There's like, 10,000 of these people, tops, yet their sociopathic bets on everything from Juicero to "the metaverse" to "AI" pull technology development around by the nose.
Did I mention that this crap is only a side table to them after they ran out of "war" and "burning down the planet" to invest in?
#Capitalism is a casino, and most people can't even aspire beyond being a bigger chip.

I posted about meme shootings and a bit about how they're incentivized by "the algorithm." I felt like there was a lot more to talk about, so I expanded it to a blog post. (Thanks to @… for the video link, I also referenced in the post.)
CW: kids and gun violence, self harm, possible reference to sexual violence, the general traumatic stuff you'd expect from this subject

Oh you thought the ordeal of being perceived was mortifying? Wait 'till you try being perceived by a state.
As its bureaucratic gaze lingers through the entrails of your medical, financial, scholastic, and social records, a deep disquiet oozes through your brain upon consideration of the labyrinthine antagonisms it may—or may not—inflict upon you. In service only to Capital, this entity has bequeathed immeasurable portions of suffering and death to those it threatens to protect, let alone to its ever-multiplying enemies, and now it is your turn to be found wanting, for in its incessant mechanical hunger, wanting is all that the state can conceive of.

If you put money above the people and the planet, then you are no friend of mine because from where I stand it means you would rather protect greed than stand beside me in the struggle for justice and freedom.

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
– Frank Zappa

"We shouldn’t be surprised, because capturing communities with false promises only to sell us out is business as usual in the corporate internet. The founders handled the transition horribly, even by tech industry standards, and the pain and disruption it creates in our lives is real. Yet capital is constantly pulling the rug on online communities... For corporations, it’s always profits over people"

Following the sale of Komoot to private equity, Josh Meissner explores the broken relationship between corporate capital and our communities...

This heatwave in the Nordic EU? Oh, obviously climate change, courtesy of capitalism warming up the planet like it’s one big corporate sauna.
But hey, don’t blame me, I’m just here trying to cool off while CEOs keep printing profits instead of fixing the planet!

You're damn right it is madness. We need to scrap these terrible systems.
"Suzuki says that, despite his understanding of the climate crisis, Carney — like all of us — is trapped by the economic and political systems we've created. And for Suzuki, our only hope for survival is to scrap those systems entirely.
David Suzuki joins Jayme Poisson on the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion from what a world of irreversible climate change looks like to what he describes as the "madness" of continued investment in fossil fuels to the lessons environmentalists of the future can take from the past.”

Sometimes I wonder why people worship authority-hungry clout chasers instead of tearing down the whole system that lets them stand above others. But then you realize this clown is the one steering the circus in the US right now, oh well, anyway, moving on.

I sometimes find myself involuntarily laughing when I see a police vehicle pass by, a reflex born from recognizing the role of the state’s coercive apparatus in maintaining capitalist and authoritarian social order.

I’ve been checking out the secureblue project recently, and it’s actually pretty interesting.
I’ll admit, online privacy feels like a straight-up meme in today’s world of surveillance capitalism, but secureblue is pushing out some genuinely unique projects that are absolutely worth looking into.
From what I can tell, secureblue feels a lot like the desktop version of GrapheneOS, taking that same security-focused foundation and bringing it into the Linux desktop space in a meaningful way.
