  • I think elite schools are just first in line in terms of being political betrayers of the actual substantive left. The interests of those schools and the families that tend to be able to afford to send their children then just tend to be aligned with the interests of capital as a whole.

    I forget whether it was the Koch brothers or other fracking billionaires, who provided the seed money for Ben Shapiro to set up The Daily wire, but no doubt those sorts of people are financially tied to him being their mouthpiece.

    Money talks, and this is all part of why we live in a two party system, even though the majority seems like left leaning liberals… Because the free market right have a greater level of class interests with the wealthy, and so can afford greater platforms in culture and in researching how to manipulate the political theatre of opinion.









  • It’s because the male ones believe their courses have informed them, and turned them into “knowledge experts” who know better than you. Where as female case managers believe their courses have made them better at connecting people to their resources and practices.

    In short, whether conscious or not, the courses they do have different gendered outlooks and effects of participants.

    One group becomes entitled ro superiority, and the others becomes a more connected listener.

    But it might also be because men lack the lived experience most compatible with your own, and it’s possible they’re better at providing for male clients.

    …but really I think women are just likely better at the job, and more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others in a more consistent and accurate manner.

    I think they’re saying it’s punk rock to hate women and screw poor people over, whilst being racist and bigoted in every way possible.

    Aka it’s punk rock to have no idea about the history and political aspects of punk rock.

    …in fairness, Johnny “I do butter commercials now” Rotten agrees. Which gives “God save the queen” a whole different quality.

    Lots of companies will do this, eventually advertising the purity and the size of their human created training data.

    These will be the companies selling their content to AI companies, although some will probably just be scanned in illegally. Perhaps a new type of copy write lawsuit will have to be invented.

    Most people will continue to use these sites, aware their data is being used like this.


  • Start by dismantling the housing market. Make owning multiple investment properties illegal, initially give a “sale by” time ordered by the government, if it’s not met, the government bid must be accepted. That bid should initially be at the low end of the Market but as time goes on, and this opening move at dismantling Capitalism leaves the news cycle that bid should drop to half the market value.

    Make housing a right, drastically subsidizing the cost of home purchase on a sliding scale so it’s cheapest for the poorest.

    During this process, more and more people will have the government for a landlord. For these people offer rent-to-buy schemes, where the rent dollars are paying the mortgage price. Once an amount is paid, the renter gets the deed to the home.

    Soon all home sales would be done for people to use the actual properties being bought, and homelessness would be greatly reduced.

    I say all this because to dismantle Capitalism you need a feasible plan for all the sectors being targeted.

    But most of all you need this plan so you can demand your leftist party to take action on it. You need something to point to, and say THIS, this is what we want you to do. Saying “dismantle Capitalism” is not enough.

    …and in all honesty, you’ll most likely have to run for office, and create the party yourself if you want anything like this to happen.
