Capitalism tells us that achievement is the ultimate goal. The dude tells us that it is most definitely not.
We’re in the system, so we gotta play to eat. But it’s okay to forget what day it is. We don’t have to lose ourselves in it.
The dude abides. You can, too.
"From Baghdad to Caracas: a Washington manual on sanctions and war
The recent US airstrikes in the Caribbean and military threats against Venezuela are a continuation of decades (or even centuries) of US policy on the region, not a departure from it."

Oh, why am I spending my morning looking through the source code of a Chrom(ium) extension that clicks OK buttons repeatedly, you ask?
Because I have about 1,000 transactions from Stripe from our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal to reconcile in Xero and apparently the galaxy brains at Big Business, Inc., think that making you click a button 1,000 times is just fine, actually.
Fucking capitalists can’t even do capitalism right.

Back in time there was a common chant of anti-imperialist, anti-colonial forces in the West: " two, three, many Vietnams".*
We are 60+ years after that. Tomorrow the chant will be transformed. It's going to speak about a tiny strip called Gaza and the operation of October 2023 against the whole colonial West.
Maybe it will be "Two, three, or maybe thousand Gaza Strips".

The word "spam" meaning to flood a place with unwanted messages comes from a carnist joke made by #MontyPython in which the capitalist product Spam is mythologized as an archetypal unwanted worthless repetition. A murder victims body reduced to a literal throw-away joke depicting their mangled corpse as nothing more than a nuisance. The company that killed them "Spam company" is remembered more readily than the victim
@JMacfie @yogthos and I'm sure that's true. #Capitalism has a perverse incentive to externalise costs – the more shit you can dump into the commons, for others to pay to clean up (or to poison the commons for ever, which is the cause, inter alia, of the #ClimateEmergency), the more profit you make.
Any sensible economic system would not allow this.

Periodic reminder that none of this gets better until #democrats are replaced with an opposition party.
"You mean until #capitalism is abolished" Yes, duh, what else do you think the platform of an opposition party would be, silly.

"The Coinwatch #crypto tracking platform accused market makers of 'desert[ing] their responsibility', and #blockchain analyst YQ alleged 'they executed a coordinated withdrawal at the optimal moment to minimize their losses while maximizing subsequent opportunities"
Of course they did, that's how #capitalism is SUPPOSED to work. There is no honour among thieves. Kicking suckers when they're down is what drives shareholder value.

I've read a few articles about browser fingerprinting, this one seems fairly easy to understand while also being thorough enough with details. But the "easy to understand" bit becomes more difficult to gauge as one reads more on a topic lol.
Anyhoo, worth reading and maybe sharing with others in your circle.
