Thoughts about society from multiple angles. Not a bot. Not perfect. I'm nuanced, not a monolithic idea. Learning and lending what insights I can. UBI & UBS The means of production is being automated, and there's more than enough to provide for everyone.

Seems like a pretty good excuse for a #GeneralStrike

Q: "Why are you doing this"

Trump: "I'd give it a TWELVE out of ten"

Q: ....

They really wanted people to know that Trump and the banking industry are at odds over *checks notes* the banking industry's main sources of revenue being challenged by encrypted ledgers and new payment systems that rival VISA and SWIFT.

The existential threats people face for refusal to act within the guidelines of capitalism are why the cruel and insane actions of rich old men are tolerated in western culture.

IMO actively seeking a religious "end times" scenario should disqualify people from holding public office or military command role on the ground of mental instability and failure to uphold oaths, but that's just me. If you want more crusades, please fight them where innocents won't be hurt

There are some digital payment structures using encryption that have been designed to provide alternatives for the SWIFT international currency transfer system and VISA payments. The liquidity is intended to come from the fees for these new payment systems in some cases.

Corrupt and self interested doesn't mean "weak".

Appearing "weak" is just a convenient facade for complicity.

"Preemptive defense"

a "Prefense"

Hmmm πŸ€”

Maybe Israel shouldn't have attacked them then...

Someone might want to talk with Bibi about that.

inb4 people say "but he lied under oath to Congress before" while ignoring the 40k confirmed lies Trump has told on record in the past 10 years.

Trump volunteering a lie to cover himself sounds fitting.

β€œThink of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. 

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.”

Admission of illegal actions.

Leave it to the corporate Dems to bow to the will of Israel in this case, despite the incredible illegality of these actions and damage to future US diplomatic relations.

BREAKING: U.S. official tells NYT that American military strikes on Iran were underway; explosions in Tehran.

Trump was looking for an excuse to start a war, and now Israel just did what they do every few months...

Is this disgusting cyclical charade of killing innocents, sending the poor to die, and dehumanizing others all for the sake of making the rich richer getting old for anybody else?

Most* Americans, yes sadly.

There is considerable chance that the Zionists simply refused to wait for any "peace talks" to get in the way of their hatred.

Aaaaand It appears Israel just couldn't wait on any "negotiations" between Trump and Iran...

Who could have guessed? /s

And, yet Israel keeps doing pre-emptive strikes and violating ceasefire agreements with the backing of the US.

Additionally, the US and Britain were key players in the destabilization of Iran in the 1950s and 60s that led to the current regime.

Such "silly stuff" history and facts are...

OpenAI: "We'll make your murderbots"

In a democracy the AI tools would be publicly owned and designed to meet human needs rather than to generate private profits by displacing and spying on humans.

We could have #UBS and #UBI in a democracy.

I'm not calling you "stupid", asshat. I'm calling you uneducated and islamophobic.

You called Iran a "terrorist state" in your pitiful propaganda regurgitation, and then fear mongered denying their right to defend themselves in defense of Israel and the US's continued aggression.

You should start doing some strength training 2-3 times a week. Nothing crazy, just pushups, squats, and crunches to get started. Adding muscle mass at your age is very important for keeping up your insulin resistance.

I personally would prefer if my tax dollars are not spent and my family, friends, and neighbors don't die in resource conquest wars and ethnic cleansing campaigns that only benefit the wealthy.

And, you really should get an education. Please learn how to read and write above a 4th grade level.
