    Oh how he suffered being a billionnaire (200 billion. That is more than you’d earn if you worked for over 2,000 years, 24/7, with a $200k salary each day).

    But it gets worse.

    Let’s say you live to be 75. You work from 15 til 70. That’s 55 years of work.

    The average world citizen works around 40 hours a week.

    You’d need to earn $1 million per hour, just to get almost halfway of the wealth Elon Musk has.

    Does one gets this rich by work? Does anyone get this rich by smart investments?

    The answer shows itself: only through stealing from people like you, exploiting everyone, and evasion, can someone acquire this much wealth.

    “Surely Elon was initially at least normal?” But it gets worse. He supported apartheid, a system under which white, coloured and black people would all face struggle:

    The black suffered the most and heaviest,
    The coloured were accused of collaboration,
    The white lived calm but were spoonfed fear of the other groups, lied to by the oligarchs, of “criminal black thugs” stealing their hard work.

    While all groups eventually shared one goal: abolition of this system. F. de Klerk and Mandela showed that this was possible, to reconcile. And yet, Elon Musk opposed this.

    But it gets even worse with Musk. He claims to be a family man. But, he never loved his daughter. He abused his daughter, when his daughter told her what any daughter ought to feel able to tell her father: I am who I am.

    Musk is the archetypical oligarch: rich, spoiled, and with no sympathy. Let comrades learn: this is not what we are. Musk, Bezos, and all their ilk: to them, you are a mosquito. You are nothing for them.

    They are the reason prices rose. They profited from inflation. And all this, while even people with $100k income, struggle to pay mortgages. All this, while the poor starve on the streets, drugged people get no help, and queers are being murdered.

    Comrades! You are one front, and the fiend is the oligarch.
    The poor cannot steal your wealth, for they have none,
    The junkie cannot ruin your health; for they have none,
    The queer cannot kill you, for they are killed.

    The oligarch has their wealth, health, and kills. Comrades! Once more ye are one front, and the fiend is the oligarch.

    Join or resocialise your socialist party, join a newspaper, and unionise! Rich, poor, healthy, ill, straight, queer: disagreement be told: all share one enemy, the oligarch!


  • It is bad. Companies could just have some fucking standards.

    The issue is profit-motivated companies existing in the first place.

    Rather, they should be self-led, and motivated towards the best labour environment as according to their workers. That means their workers feeling accepted, heard and listened to, being able to not only live but also thrive. And all that, while still making the organisation more efficient.

    I’m aware of the quote being for that reference. But I wanted to extend the quote to be more applicable to general life.

    Of course lethal force is rational as proportional self-defence, hence why I specified the ‘not too eager to let live’. Because while mercy and kindness are a Good, it is no good if that comes at the cost of your survival as eg. a minority. You gotta reason with most, but you gotta punch a fascist.

    While it’s a great quote, I’ll add an amendment:

    “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death or to let live in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

    Live and let live works, but only if the other also does so. When one does not allow you to live as you want, because what they do harms you, then that ends there.

    Don’t forget the country largely having far right politics inventing threats as it sees fit (and those politicians even being remotely extremely popular), with the goal plainly said, being genocide.

    The government needs to be denazified, and the people educated on how what they do is also harming themselves. All should be compelled to watch footage of what they are effectively doing there.
