Still. It speaks to that no matter how much they try to prop up the coal industry for the sake of making the people with the broad form deeds rich, the future will be centered on abundant energy from the sun.

this has never been about just epstein. the phrase “epstein class” has been neutered of its original impact of “this is a way of life for a gertain group of uber wealthy people” and instead turning to focus on epstein and his gaggle of golf pedophile buddies.

there’s three prevalent ways to think of epstein’s death:

• to keep him from talking
• he wasn’t killed but was removed quiety from prison during the lost tapes
• someone was eliminating the competition

i tend to fall more into the first and third options, and also do give some credence to the possibility that accountability and consequences aren’t something monsters like him opt into, or that just someone really fucking hated him and killed him.

but the point is, it was NEVER just epstein running this business. he was one guy the uberwealthy used to launder their money and sex crimes. any languages he didn’t speak that an oligarch only spoke? there’s an epstein of that language, too

they’ve also been kidnapping Palestinians and other indigenous levantine people since they first starting establishing kibbutzes in the 1920s, with it escalating with the establishment of an official israeli state in 1946 with the legitimacy lended to them by the US and UK. the focus Oct 7 as the start of Israeli/Palestinian history ignores nearly a century of prior abuse

“if you want to fight nazis, the first ones you’ll have to fight live at home”

something said to me once about how to defeat fascism you have to confront that fascism appeals to everyone by making overly simplistic approaches to the world seem sensible. every country, community, group, and individual has a propensity to fascism. if you want to fight fascism the very first one you’ll have to fight is the one that’s living inside of you

not exactly. the more nuanced inspection of what he said was that donald trump’s plans to deregulate the tech industry he expected to benefit his company. however, that deregulation is in service of allowing more surveillance capitalism, environmental degredation, and worker mistreatment. the wording i provided is what that ultimately means as an analysis of how and why proton would make more money in that type of environment

edit: didn’t think this would be controversial to say. Helleman’s mayonaise is a unilever brand. Unilever has ties to israel and even sells olive oil made from stolen olives. this is worse than just rainbow capitalism

edit 2: ooooh. this isn’t real. okay.

Not at all. I’m from Central Appalachia in Virginia.

alright. my apologies for taking such an ungracious stance. it was just hard for me to fathom:

• someone not having any neighbors growing up with Juneteenth Jubilee cookouts
• not hearing about the decades long petition to the federal government starting in the nineteen sixties to recognize Juneteenth as a holiday
• not seeing any of the Juneteenth media coverage in 2021 when there was a full on blitz to introduce people to their newest holiday celebration
• seeing a calendar event on June Nineteeth named “Juneteenth” and immediately assuming it was a typo for an intentional calendar event named “June Nineteenth” and then correcting it

all the people i’ve met who don’t think Juneteenth should be a holiday come in one of two flavors:

1. (the more common one) think Black history is irrelevant and that the holiday is a modern recent construct
2. (the more radical one) think Juneteenth should be a holiday that is only implemented by the people it represents once they are adequately represented in whatever system of government replaces the one that refuses to pay reparations

i defaulted from past experience into assuming you fit into category 1, and for that i apologize. lord knows i’ve experienced things reaching my knowledge base later than others because information that truly matters spreads slow, and the internet has not been the accelerant to information spread we often delude ourselves into thinking it is.

i grew up being told, by Asian people, that “Asian” is a slur to them, and that it unfairly lumps them all into a single category. the term they asked me to use instead is considered by most Asians today to be outdated, and a slur.

again. i take ownership of that i jumped too fast to being unkind, and that this was ultimately unconstructive. i will work harder to do better in the future
