Myanmar residents struggle to overcome severe internet blackouts with Starlink ↗︎
↳ Billionaire’s maximising the “free market”. Yuck. — added 7:54am on 24/10/24 ❧
No Hezbollah assets found in Lebanon hospital facing Israeli bombing ↗︎

Greta Thunberg – still making all the right enemies ↗︎
↳ “Silence is complicity”. — added 4:34am on 24/10/24 ❧
Survey says half of developers consider VR market on decline or in stagnation ↗︎
↳ Luxury gimmick for the rich doesn’t take off in the mainstream because people can’t even afford food — and other “surprises”. — added 4:18am on 24/10/24 ❧
Scientists warn of ‘societal collapse’ on Earth with worsening climate situation ↗︎
↳ I literally don’t understand why the air quotes. This is the most serious shit ever faced by humanity. And the capitalists just want more of the same 4° of warming here we fucking come. We’re all dead, even musk, if only those shit for brains capitalists cared at all. Clutching piles of cash as the world they created burns them and us alive. — added 3:57am on 24/10/24 ❧
Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics ↗︎
↳ Hegemonic complicity, etc. it’s already the next frontier of capitalism’s deliberate crisis resulting in fascist dictatorship. Again, keep the workers busy - suffering - while they profit, track, data mine, persecute, rape and pillage. — added 3:44am on 24/10/24 ❧

The campaign by out-of-touch elites to ban abortion is now a federal election issue ↗︎
↳ And this is exactly how the hegemony shapes common sense — it might not be mainstream now but it’s coming. And if it’s not wholly accepted, it creates another identity division to keep the proles busy. Either way the billionaires win and we lose. Fucking sick shit — healthcare is a human right. — added 8:42pm on 23/10/24 ❧

Astute stalkers amongst you may remember some 14 years ago I made a YouTube video by the same title...
Donald Trump and Peter Dutton have both embraced populism. Are working-class voters buying it? ↗︎
↳ The whole situation is performative hate and identity division. Of course it “works”, people are scared. Does it work enough to attract votes? We’ll see. The politics of the LNP and Republicans will destroy the planet and our social fabric, so that’s something… — added 6:24am on 23/10/24 ❧
Labor concerned Meta may ‘sidestep obligations to pay for news’ as media bargaining code fight reignites ↗︎
↳ The Australian government is quite literally just the judicial arm of News Corp. This sick infatuation must end — it’s just too much hegemonic exposition that no one seems to notice. — added 6:16am on 23/10/24 ❧
