That’s honestly one of the most concrete conclusions I can come to right now. Adding Ukraine to the EU can be because of a few things:
- Symbol politics to tell your people ‘we tried’ when it eventually fails;
- They join, and then what? War and kill everyone? Do nothing and see what a joke the EU is?
- Have them join asap to prevent Russia from pushing further? Seems the most reasonable outcome for the EU.
But I can absolutely see the elite of the world doing a speedrun any% on getting us all killed. But why? What’s left for them afterwards?
The whole scale of the impact this has on Ukrainian civilians is often overlooked in the media. 4+ MILLION people fled the country. Up to a thousand people a day seem to be losing their life.
This is enormous. These 4+ million people have to go somewhere in the future. Will they go back to a destroyed or possibly annexed country? Will they remain in Poland who suddenly has to deal with millions of extra civilians? Will they be spread out among EU countries? That already have a huge problem with refugees? What will they do with the current refugees (many of whom are not white)? Shit will hit the fan in Europe. And the right will try to get even more ground because of it.
But Pootin bad so keep this war going, right libs?
Inflation is inherent to capitalist greed. Prices are set by one group of people only, and that’s the employers (or capitalists, whatever you want to call them). Prices going up is because they choose to raise the price.
Don’t let them fool you. Raising the prices hurts their ‘customers’. They know that. But they will have a few tools to deal with that as well. They will say they don’t want to raise the prices, but they HAVE to, they are FORCED to (because their costs went up, or the governments taxes went up etc). They act as if they, the ones setting the prices, don’t have any influence over said prices. They act as if we, the common people, and them, the 1%, are somehow in the same boat and that these inflations just suddenly appear from nowhere. That’s not true. They set the demand and they set the price. If I sell toothbrushes and I want to make more profit, I produce less toothbrushes to create an artificial scarcity. I can then set my price higher in order to make more profits.
The number one reason why companies raise prices is simple. It’s to make more profits. If you raise the price you might sell fewer, but you sell fewer at a (much) higher price. It also means you have to buy less, you need less employess you have to pay. Oftentimes companies actually hold back in producing in order to set higher prices (hello oil companies).
Inflation is part of the class war between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. It’s meant as a tool to squeeze whatever is possible from the proletariat for the benefit of the ruling class.
Don’t even for a second think the oil companies in this picture are seperated from the war and are sad about it. This war created a ‘shortage’ in oil which has been really helping the oil companies story about how they needed to raise the prices because of the war and oil shortages. It’s just to make more money. That’s all.
This is such bullshite reasoning mate. The victim was bribed by one of the most powerful men in the world. By no means can you ever tell that she made a well-thought-out decision when she accepted that money and signed a NDA. If she later on feels that it was unacceptable what happened to her and wants to speak up, she absolutely should.
What are you saying man? I didn’t say anything of what you mentioned lol.
She could be the queen of England for all I care. Abuse is abuse.
Yes. Everyone deserves to be treated the same. Having money should not prevent you from being held responsible.
Edit: I think I know what you mean. I don’t say she’s stupid for signing a NDA. It’s bullshit that she has to, and that she has to be bribed to not tell what happened. That’s highly unethical.
Interesting. Personally I don’t agree with buying your way out of sexual harassment. By no mean can we assume this person is not forced to accept the money, especially considering Elon Musk is one of the most powerful men in the world. She has every right to come out with this story, signing a NDA is bullshit.
And one of the most powerful person in the world sexual harassing someone? I think that should have an impact. Why not? That’s a crime. Normal people don’t buy their way out of it either. Why should he?
I’m lucky enough to live in a big city with good bike infrastructure, pedestrian paths and public transport, so I don’t have to use my car that much. I also eat pretty cheap, buy most of my clothes second hand for cheap and beers at a bar can be cheap as well. Got lucky with my new energy bill as well as my gf and I use just a tiny bit of energy. I notice the inflation a bit, but not the 9-10% mentioned here.
I see people on the daily that do, though. The middle class is being wiped out already and it will get worse.
Very brutal and honest. I wrote a suicide note in my dark years and I recognize the absolute hopeless feeling this letter carries. It truly feels like there is no getting better when you are at your absolute low.
Fortunately, I got better and I burned the fucker. It is truly saddening to see this woman could not find a way out due to a rigid system. As someone who does social work I understand that you can’t hire everyone but the black and white thinking of the system does more harm than good. Some of my best coworkers are people who made mistakes or suffered from illnesses like this person. They should absolutely be given the chance.
Rest in peace.
A weird thought is going around in my head lately. It started with my mother asking me if I’d fight if war broke out here.
I said it depended on between which sides this war was. Then I started thinking about a war in which communist forces were one side. I’d fight for them.
The thought I’m having is that I stopped caring about dying. I know war is hell and dying isn’t fun, but I’m sort of at peace with it. I’m at peace with a fall of Western imperialism and I’m at peace with the thought of having to fight for socialism.
I know it sounds LARPy but I stopped caring lately. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing.
It’s poverty larping. In my homecountry they have this show in which they make a rich family and a poor family switch lives for a week. The rich families, after this week, are soooooo understanding of the poor people all of a sudden. They don’t. They know it will be over in a week. They don’t know what it’s like to live in stress everyday because you don’t know if you will have enough money to feed your kids this month. They don’t know what it’s like to just pray nothing breaks in your house or car because you can’t afford it. They don’t know what it’s like to be hungry.
Being poor is an aesthetic to them. It’s sickening.
From the beginning I had my doubts about this, for which I was vilified by people around me. I’d also be the first to apologize and say I’m wrong if it all turns out to be true.
That being said, after watching countless of videos and reading countless of takes on this, I have formed an opinion. My take on this is that civilians were killed by both Russian and Ukrainian sides during the fighting for Bucha. That’s wrong, but it unfortunately happens in war. People get caught in the crossfire. I don’t think both side had the intention of doing so. After the Russian army left Bucha, the Ukrainian army came in and killed collaborators (as they have been confirmed of doing on multiple other places) and tried to frame Russia for it.
Is Russia innocent in this war? No. Is Ukraine innocent in this war? Absolutely not. But claiming Russia just massacres civilians left and right is also wrong and I wish a lot more people stay critical of what’s happening.
I know why this is. The media is controlled by the ruling class and therefore has certain interests, I understand that. But I don’t want to always have to go through six obscure Telegram groups, 26 different news outlets, YouTube, Reddit and three prayers to different Gods to find answers on what’s really happening. Shit’s tiring yo
It has probably always been this way, but the amount of propaganda, fake news and framing is really frustrating. You don’t have to be a Russia supporter to want to know what’s going on but the way the media bombards you with (non-)information is just tiring.
I know there are journalists on this site since I’ve seen them myself. If they are reading this, could you please for once just write an objective story?
I always ask the ecofascists who we should kill and, surprisingly, the answer always starts under the border of Spain and Italy and east of Poland for some reason
