#Corruption, #graft, illegal #commerce w #enemy powers - #musk is all about adding more #billions to his fortune by #exploiting his illegal role in destruction of federal government while at the same time profiting from international investments funneling who knows how much into his businesses. #Chinese investors privately take stakes in Musk’s companies. #Asset managers have been promoting tech mogul’s ties to #Trump to lure #capital to #xAI, #Neuralink and #SpaceX ft.com/content/66857e1e-a217-4

#Trump claimed today at his speech in front of #law enforcement officers in #Michigan that he called the family of #RubyGarcia, who was killed by a friend of hers who was a *migrant*. Trump claimed he spoke to several of her family members….

Ruby Garcia's sister Mavi Garcia told WOOD TV8 that neither Trump nor any member of his campaign have contacted her or any of her family members, & was upset that Trump was #exploiting migrants.

The Australia, US, France, England, Canada coalition is bombing Yemen, while South Africa takes Israel to the international court of Justice on genocide charges. Not a single western country has supported their claim. All the signatures are from the global south (conceptually).

This is about #colonial legacy and the mindset of #settler societies used to #exploiting the planet and its humans, extracting labor, land and resources as if its their backyard, without repurcussions or consequences.

Hey Fediverse, #bookstodon #bookstodongermany #blackmastodon #transtodon #leftodon
I talked my #neoliberal flatmate into reading some books about #feminism / #queerfeminism / #blackfeminism or similarly #leftwing books which would challenge his worldview.

Would you mind recommending some books for this purpose? #bookrecommendation

------------------------------------------------------------

There is a LOT to challenge. Some of his opinions:

* There is no structural #racism , only bad people and Nazis are racist (He is obviously not racist) i.e. introduction to #CriticalWhiteness

* You can get rich without #exploiting people

* Colonialism is bad, but it is in the past. We should put it behind us (and #Capitalism has nothing to do with #Colonialism )

* Everything is getting better with time/Society is always moving forward (whitewashed #history )

* There are only two biological sexes/binary biological sex exists ( #trans #genderstudies )

* The police is good for society and reduces crime (and racial profiling is okay apparently) #Abolition #Abolitionism

* What is #intersectionalism ? Never heard of it.

* #communism failed because it is doomed to fail, not because the USA intervened with military whenever there was an attempt at it.

* #Liberalism is no ideology, it is the center, between left and right, and therefore the best option because it can't be extreme.

#Germany didn't profit from Colonialism. Anyway after the 2nd World war we had nothing and we rebuilt germany on our own.

------------------------------------------------------------

Pls boost if you ever wanted to give a #liberal a reading list to challenge their views...
(Also books with #german perspectives would be awesome, because we're based in Germany and its too easy to put all the problems "somewhere else")

Some Books I thought about recommending him:

* Whipping Girl (Julia Serano)

* Was weiße Menschen nicht über #Rassismus hören wollen aber wissen sollten (Alice Hasters)
(Translates to: What white persons don't want to hear about racism, but should know)

* The Dawn of Everything (David Wengrow, David Graeber)

* At The Café conversations on #Anarchism (Errico Malatesta)

* #Abolitionismus - Ein Reader (Suhrkamp)

* Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Thomas Piketty)

"The whole #Reddit thing is an especially striking example of #corporate brain rot because, like, they managed to build their entire #business model on the back of #exploiting vast quantities of unpaid #volunteer #labour, and successfully convinced the entire #Internet that this is a normal state of affairs. How do you fuck that up? How do you convince yourself that instituting a de facto demand for your very nearly 100% volunteer #workforce to #pay you for the ability to use the tools that are required to do their #job is anything other than cutting your own throat?"

"Like, do they just not grasp the #fundamentals of their own business model? Do they not realise that they're a for-profit business in the unimaginably envious position of #employing a largely volunteer workforce? That's the only place I can imagine the #idea coming from of going to #people who doing the work of #employees for free and saying "actually, you should pay us for the privilege of working for us"."

"Honestly, if #CG #artists #unionising kills the use of CG in #films, I don't see a downside.

This post has riled a lot of #people. For what it's worth, my point wasn't that #technology is bad and Edison was a witch, my point was that any #industry that can be killed by #unionizing should be.

Any industry that can't survive #unionization relies on #exploiting its #workers' #labor and should be killed immediately anyway"
