I'm gonna get serious for a minute.

I hope like hell that, for most humans, "Nazis" remain the people we talk about, and not *to*. I hope they're just the creeps at the corner of the internet, or in that one house everyone avoids. Alone. Maybe we squint at them on TV as they go to jail. That would also be great.

I hope that, for most people, they remain an abstraction.

But please, for the love of gods, dont call opposing Nazis "political idealism". 1/?

One cell with a capacity of 8 held 41 detainees.
A cell built for 35 held 155."

children are dying in ICE and CBP custody

Solitary confinement and torture to the point of slitting wrists, gouging one's eyeballs, especially disabled, LGBTQ people and hunger strikers they don't know what to do with.

Best Zuckerbucks Let-Them-Eat-Cake self-own of the day:

"The disenfranchised will hail Zuckerberg as 'a savior'" --Jim Cramer, Wall Street hypeman, Goldman Sachs bankster, global meltdown and human misery profiteer.

People love to talk about technological solutions to climate change, but climate change is not a technological problem, at least not anymore. The technology exists to stop using fossil fuels, and it is close enough to economic that it will rapidly become economic if we start applying it.

The real problem of climate change is a political one. It's convincing people to actually do the work Any discussion of solutions that does not start there is a nonstarter.

Talking cyberpunk, the atemporal future, and Johnny Mnemonic inside-baseball with the writer of Neuromancer and godfather himself.

Welcome to capitalism, where tech startups fake 'genius' AI using hidden POC sweatshop labor in a 'black box' to rake in profits.

"AI, games, Amazon, it's all made with magic! In our magic black box!"
"What's in it?"
"Nevermind, just eat your kale salad and let's do yoga!"
*Open box, find a sweatshop*

@erosdiscordia @garbados @morganmay The conspiracy, the gaslighting is in the statistics.

I have a friend who is a senior United Airlines aircraft engineer.

They make well over 100k a year.

He lives in a van in a Wal Mart parking lot, and barely sees his wife and kids who live hundreds of miles away, sometimes not every week.

This is what they can afford after healthcare, rent, etc. because the city's average house is over $1 million.

You can make 6-figures and be in poverty here.

@garbados @morganmay Yeah, this is important to say. I make a habit of saying what's happening every day, just out loud or in a post, because we're daily inundated 24/7 from every TV channel, social media, public and private institution with the *real* conspiracy theory: that America is a democracy where everyone is living a great middle class life -- except for you.

The truth is 70% of America is living in poverty after accounting for healthcare and rent. It is a third world country.

The only cyberpunk game where homeless robots, ex-prisoners, social workers, and socialist team up against devastation and extinction of life on Earth at the hands of immortal billionaires trying to escape to space resorts. :D

I'm not saying don't play games & chill. I make video games as an indie dev & need people to give me money for them so I can have meds, food, & rent for me & my kids.

Also, I try to play games an hour a day, or garden, etc.

But if you take a few hours investigating unions, join one, the average union worker makes $970 a week vs $763 non-union, or $10,000 more per year

The few hours of *social* work may help you, your mh, & all workers the most
