Wondered why someone wasn’t showing up on my feed last couple days. Turns out they blocked me, a mystery that won’t be solved. And then, not sure why anyone follows me.

But $1 trillion in tax would have crashed economy ( /sarc). Last I checked 9.6 > 1. It may not be that simple but compare the last 50 years of productivity gains to how the benefits of those gains have been distributed. ‘Ownership’ isn’t possible without social cohesion.

Past tense

Bought gifts today. Do what you can. Use #OnTyranny to stop and defeat it. Thanks @timothysnyder.bsky.social

So much this. White collar crimes tears at the social fabric and in reality simply outsources the violence to the state and other institutions: evictions, loss of medical care, loss of pensions; both physical and mental harms.

The more I learn from following @swardley.bsky.social the more I believe this project isn't designed to succeed anyhow, just enable further looting and destruction of the US government. (may need to follow further down the quoted posts).

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

No one is coming to save us. We have to do it ourselves.

Almost out of nowhere I'm seeing the narrative pushing property taxes are you 'renting from the government'. Correlation isn't causation and neither is timing, but didn't private equity start buying up homes everywhere, contributing to the expense of both housing and rent? 1/2

every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

One bad effects of so much Superhero 'art' and the long Marvel arc is it planted the seed that people can mostly wait to be saved, someone else will do it. Art affects society. ( @swardley.bsky.social ) No one is coming to save society. We have to do it ourselves. 1/2

Hopefully they do another run of these, if they need another charity Ukraine is fighting to prevent this more than almost anyone else.
