Great interview with Clara Mattei as she explains the predatory & violent nature of Capitalism. Too often in the west and global north, capitalism is treated as if it were divinely inspired. Capitalism is a system & as any system, it has flaws as well as benefits www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyb4...

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!

ogdennutgoneflake@riverroadband.bsky.social · 3w agoThings we learned from Trump’s MAGAt Party: 1. One man can destroy a nation with the help of unprincipled co-conspirators. 2. Christian extremists will help destroy America. 3. A nation that relies on volunteers and charity is ripe for a takeover. VOTE BLUE. ACT NOW!
Safe to say that nothing is better under Trump unless you’re rooting for fascism, the collapse of accountability and the total degradation of our air, water and food. Thanks MAGA!
