<p>Really enjoyed this skewering of billionaires, executives, and AI. It argues that comments like “it’s just business” or “corporations exist to make money” intentionally move the discussion away from morality because there’s no moral justification for their actions.</p><p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WdgRyH6NWsc" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="m.youtube.com/watch?v=WdgRyH6NWsc"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=WdgRyH6N</span><span class="invisible">Wsc</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a></p>

<p>It’s Disability Pride Month and I’m mourning one of our elders…. Alice Wong. </p><p>Every year on July 1st she would talk about disabled rage. </p><p>She would remind us that it’s ok to be angry at the eugenicist, capitalist, patriarchal system we’re trapped in. </p><p>She would encourage us to embrace our disabilities AND our anger. </p><p>She would give us permission to be our true selves… to refuse to hide for the comfort of others. </p><p>She passed away last November but left an indelible mark on our community. </p><p>I want to honour her this month by continuing the tradition she started and inviting all my disabled peers to be proud, unapologetically themselves and angry if that’s what they feel. </p><p>Don’t hide. </p><p>Don’t smile and say “I’m fine” when you’re in pain. </p><p>Don’t settle for being treated as “less than”.</p><p>Don’t let the bastards grind you down.</p><p><a href="/tags/disability/" rel="tag">#disability</a> <a href="/tags/ableism/" rel="tag">#ableism</a> <a href="/tags/eugenics/" rel="tag">#eugenics</a> <a href="/tags/chronicillness/" rel="tag">#chronicillness</a> <a href="/tags/patriarchy/" rel="tag">#patriarchy</a> <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a></p>

Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) posted online, “Billionaires get richer while working families struggle.” New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) campaigned last year on getting rid of them: “I don’t think we should have billionaires.” This spring, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) told a podcaster, “You can’t earn a billion dollars.”</p><p><a href="/tags/journalism/" rel="tag">#Journalism</a> <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#Capitalism</a> <a href="/tags/socialism/" rel="tag">#Socialism</a></p>

<p>The Alibi of Capital<br>How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow<br><br>Description<br>Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capitalism’s origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future.<br><br>The Alibi of Capital explains how this came about through the imperial expansion of the West, encumbering today’s generations with repayments on earlier extractions. Timothy Mitchell identifies the forms of capitalisation, credit, and coercion that turn prospective assets into present income. Rejecting the common idea that claims on the future create only financial or fictitious capital, he traces the terraforming projects – the destruction of rivers, the colonising of territory, the expansion of infrastructure, and the burning of carbon – through which the future has been squandered. Terms such as finance, technology, the economy, and growth function as alibis that conceal this devastating form of extraction.<br></p><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-alibi-of-capital-how-we-broke-the-earth-to-steal-the-future-on-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow-timothy-mitchell/b9d75f1021d88989" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="bookshop.org/p/books/the-alibi-of-capital-how-we-broke-the-earth-to-steal-the-future-on-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow-timothy-mitchell/b9d75f1021d88989"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bookshop.org/p/books/the-alibi</span><span class="invisible">-of-capital-how-we-broke-the-earth-to-steal-the-future-on-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow-timothy-mitchell/b9d75f1021d88989</span></a><br><br><a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a> <a href="/tags/extractivism/" rel="tag">#extractivism</a> <a href="/tags/colonization/" rel="tag">#colonization</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> <a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="/tags/climatecrisis/" rel="tag">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="/tags/environmentaldestruction/" rel="tag">#EnvironmentalDestruction</a> <a href="/tags/ecologicaldestruction/" rel="tag">#EcologicalDestruction</a> <a href="/tags/mortgagingthefuture/" rel="tag">#MortgagingTheFuture</a><br>
