I appreciate @garyeconomics for so eloquently describing what is wrong with our current oligarch dominated capitalist system. It is the oldest trick in the book for those in power to turn people against each other. youtube.com/shorts/w61mOvMrs…
The fact that the UK’s outstanding Women’s Minister @jessphillips has to now have increased security due to @elonmusk misogynistic and made up attacks lets us know how they fear parties that represent people not the powerful.
@elonmusk you and your bro Trump are a toxic force in the world. The world needs a space to talk respectfully about complex issues. You confuse money and ego with class. You have none. Done with what you have turned X into. Last post!!
Whether they use race, religion, gender, class, nationalism, sexuality or drug use to divide us, it’s all just a con to turn us against each other so we don’t use our collective power to take back power.
