The irony is that there are plenty of millennials trying to purchase a home, the problem isnt due to a lack of funds, but a lack of supply of homes not meeting the high demand.
“Much like the US and the western European nations, the standards of living in the Nordic countries are based not on having invented a wonderful system that can provide for everyone’s needs, but based on the exploitation of resources and labor of the global south. Lenin described one of the key tendencies of imperialism as ‘the exploitation of oppressed nations—which is inseparably connected with annexations—and especially the exploitation of colonies by a handful of 'Great’ Powers, increasingly transforms the 'civilised’ world into a parasite on the body of hundreds of millions in the uncivilised nations.’ While the large colonial empires of Lenin’s time have largely dispersed, the relationships have not so much disappeared as they have changed form. The global south is exploited, and the western powers profit.”

Crypto and NFT markets are in a state of freefall. Meanwhile, “meme traders”- those who thought they were taking on Wall Street by investing in AMC and Gamestop last year- have now lost all of their gains.
People need to understand that you can’t beat Wall Street at their own game. You cannot hurt them by expanding financial markets- you’ll either lose your money or just become another part of the institutional market. You can only beat Wall Street by definancializing: reducing the relative size of the financial industry and bringing it under greater public control. Until then you’re just playing their game.

Featuring Fuck Capitalism Triceratops, Eat The Rich T-Rex, and ACAB Pterosaur! There will be more dinos and phrases coming in the near future! These are specifically drawn in a retrosaur style, taking inspiration from early paleoart depictions of these animals.
Please don’t let Hasankeyf be destroyed. 12,000 years of history, culture and life cannot be erased with bombs to build a dam designed to terrorize with water and resource wars. Please, urgently sign the petition HERE to put a stop to this dam. The dam is organised to start on the 10th of June.
they’re real out of necessity, out of pressure, from the relations they obfuscate, they’re made “real” necessarily
no no no no no, friend, you misunderstand me, I’m critiquing this viewpoint!
We can’t just “pretend money never existed”, we have to change the relations that necessitates it in the first place! Change them to the point of complete departure, a break.
If we go forth without changing the conditions, these will force themselves back into existence by necessity. The good news is that they are contingent on how we relate to each other so if we relate in a different manner, we necessitate differently; or, put simply, don’t need money and laws etc.
This is also the bad news because it requires a complete overturn of even very basic things not least of which includes economic arrangements. It’s just a lot.
in my lifetime, every attempt to address this need - even just speaking about it - has been met with deadly opposition
The part about “relations they obfuscate” is important because saying “I owe my landlord 1000 dollars every month” doesn’t explain the actual relationship but “if I don’t pay the police and the courts will make sure I am evicted”. So it’s really a description of a power imbalance between tenant and landlord (but mostly between agents of the state and those they oppress)
I can’t tell you where or how to activate to help solve this. There are politicians, groups, and activists pushing for this in so many ways. I can tell you when, though.
really mad and disappointed (but also…. not surprised) that the concept of self care has become a buzzword for companies to profit off and disguise their marketing tools under the “wellness” category. it doesn’t have anything to do with anti-ageing creams, acne gels, shopping sprees, detox teas, “being that girl”, waking up at 4am to do god knows what and whatever product or idea they’ll sell you these days. you gotta consider the fact that the term self care actually originated from black communities/activists and actively included the concept of community care as well. one can’t just go without the other and it has nothing to do with how your skin/body looks, how many positive quotes you spread on instagram or how much you spend.
