Israel is really running the playbook of the 1700s and 1800s US genocide of Native Americans, step by step, against Palestinians today— letting paramilitary settlers attack and occupy and then intervening militarily on the side of the settlers. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/settler-violence-state-violence-west-bank

Yes everything would be more expensive in this world where we pay for the true costs of what we need and want, but we would all be paid a lot more to make the world better, rather than earn less than our survival costs while making our world worse.

We still need to massively, regularly, and systematically redistribute wealth if we want to have a functioning economy that uses markets. And i do want to use markets to have a political economy that is as fair, free, and fruitful as possible. But i wish the people who are understandably anti-market would take the lead in describing how we should run the half or more of modern economies that classic markets have no viable theory of producing the best results— everything related to ideas, knowledge, digital information, software, that can be free for all once created, where on the face of it democratic socialism can be far more fair, free, and fruitful than any contrived and constrained market could.

Somehow the main online security practice that people in a couple spaces i'm in have picked up is to… not share links. Anybody else successfully, gently pushed back on this?

@Manigarm@mastodon.social Yes. We could fill an encyclopedia with how reactionary / liberal / neoliberal politicians in #Minneapolis weaponize so-called civility to deflect and distract from our desperate attempts to draw attention to, and stop, their "police-ification" of every almost every part of government to destroy #houseless people's lives https://kolektiva.social/@WorkersDefenseAlliance/110732761205966636
