But is it the work they need, or is it the social interaction?
All the things she's saying work gives us are things we can find (in more fulfilling ways even) outside of work.
Social interaction and purpose can be found through community and creation. Making things, growing things, cooking things, making music, etc.
People are so stuck in this box of capitalism we struggle to recognize that life could be enjoyable and fulfilling if we gave a shit about one another, but community isn't profitable, hyper-individualism is.
The monopoly on violence for the most part comes from the military, so the choice they have is a military coup. Problem is he's stacked the military with loyalists. But also what you said.
Nah man, billionaires shouldn't exist. It is literally impossible to amass that type of wealth without exploiting (stealing surplus value from) people working for you. Aside from that, it is more money than a person could ever spend and takes huge amounts of money out of the economy, slowing the velocity of money.
You should care, because it actively harms the economy to have that kind of wealth hoarding.
And I do vote, but that doesn't help in a broken system built by people like this to enable and encourage exploitation. Do you really think that the people in power actually wish to hold people like this accountable? Of course they fuckin don't, they're the same goddamn people.
I work in tax and i can tell you the tax systems are broken once you pass a certain level of wealth most of us will never achieve in our lifetimes. This is by design.
I'm sick of this rhetoric of fighting for Palestine = antisemitism. Palestinians are semites, and jews aren't all zionists.
I'm concerned that these rich zionists are increasing actual antisemitism in the west by pushing the connection between Jewish people and the state of Israel. Fuck all of that.
