@beep Ironically, the phrase "America by Design" made me think of David Noble's book-length critique of the influence of corporate capitalism in the technology sector, titled America by Design: Science, Technology, and the Rise of Corporate Capitalism.

The book was published in 1977, so I guess that's another link that this initiative has to the Nixon era.

#Racism, like #imperialism itself, is not a side-show to #capitalism but a structurally necessary feature of it. It is not a standalone problem that can be addressed with a few #liberal #reforms here & there. It has always been central to capitalism & it remains that way today.

@eniko 100%. Corporations distort and pervert the openness of technological advancement: the basic idea that we can improve it if we *share*.

They don't want better tech. They want tech they can use to control us and extract money from us. That often means making it worse.

“‘We cannot do it the way our fathers did’: farmers across Europe struggle to adapt to the climate crisis. As wildfires rage in southern Europe and crop losses only set to increase in the coming years, producers are getting creative to beat the heat.” It’s pretty obvious if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels we are going to starve. But sadly oil makes too much money for the super rich. So …. #ClimateCrisis#Capitalism

@grimalkina @lisihocke Almost as if it’s seen as an industry as opposed to, say, a craft.

You Are Witnessing the Death of American Capitalism - Benn Jordan [42:29]

so much has happened since the 2008 financial crisis, it can be hard to even begin to comprehend. this is a pretty good 40-minute summary of what’s behind the grip you feel tightening around your throat.
