Late Stage Capitalism

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

• i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
• there is no such thing as a "real Job". all forms of work are real and vlid.
• there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
• doing nothing ls good for my soul.
• i am not deflined by what I produce.
• my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
• i də not need to monetize my hobbles, It is enough to spend time doing something i love.
• | will not let society decide what success looks like. I can define what successful life looks like for me.

Capitalism has to chill.

Overwhelmed by the severity of the climate impacts and the resulting human suffering, Abramoff, who was completing her postdoctorate in France at the time, began volunteering for Extinction Rebellion, helping proofread the activist group’s documents and media statements. Once she returned to the U.S. to take up her position at Oak Ridge, she was ready to risk arrest, which she did when she joined the global Scientist Rebellion protest in Washington, D.C., on April 6.

She couldn’t sleep the night before, she recalls. However, she wasn’t nervous about the experience of being in a processing cell “but of not actually being able to accomplish the task, which was to chain myself with four other women to the White House gate”, she says. “And we managed it.”

Abramoff went on to be arrested six more times, most recently for chaining herself to the Mountain Valley Pipeline, whose approval U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law last year. The $6.6bn pipeline, which is set to carry 56.6 million cubic metres (2 billion cubic feet) of shelled gas a day across West Virginia and Virginia, is estimated to emit 89 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gases a year.

In an opinion piece for The New York Times that she penned shortly after her dismissal from Oak Ridge, Abramoff describes how being a “well-behaved scientist” did not have any tangible effects. “I’m all for decorum, but not when it will cost us the earth,” she writes.

This is such a fascinating insight into being rich. So Elon used his shares to buy Twitter and then blackmailed everyone else who owns shares in Tesla to give him back everything he invested in Twitter and then some. I don't know if I'm impressed or disgusted.

One of the major points of our party for the upcoming election is to introduce a tax on people with a net worth of over 5 million euro. The tax has been calculated by independent checkers and it is estimated that it will rake in 8 to 10 billion euro annually.

Everyone and their mother is now saying that a tax like that would be a disaster as every rich people 'will just flee the country'. Which they will not, as has been shown by previous countries like France introducing a similar tax FOR DECADES with less than 0.2% of the rich people leaving.

But what saddens me the most is that so many people just accept this threat as normal. Like, what does it say about our system if rich people hoarding all the wealth without contributing to society can throw a fit and leave? Is that not a sick system to live in? You off all people are the one creating the wealth for these people. Be mad, please. Be outraged that they dare to do something like that, while our government is planning to cut the budgets of healthcare, education, public transport and whatnot. For fuck's sake have some dignity.
