  • Bezos wedding: Venice protestors claim 'enormous victory' after venue change

    Jump

  • There's plenty of Cloud companies in the works currently; I already applied for a position at Evroc. But it's not all that Amazon does.

    Run corporations by ourselves? Gladly! When do the CEOs step down?

    Definitely Italian names and groups being mentioned in the article. Might be some Americans and others inbetween; it's a struggle mirrored around the world. Can just be a reference to the fact that Bezos and Amazon are known tax evaders - including for their EU business. And yes, I'd imagine that people aren't happy about being priced out of their own communities - hence the widespread anti-tourism protests in general

  • What is it you think Bezos does and has done "for Amazon" that makes him so important? The main thing he was good at was knowing how to rig the system. If he died tomorrow you'll see that Amazon will do just as fine, possibly even better. He's not even the CEO anymore. People can't just "create structures" when all the world's resources are owned by regimes and big corporations. If I create my own Amazon-equivalent they're gonna destroy me before I ever make it big.

    The Old City is being heavily depopulated, yes. Locals can hardly even live their anymore. So why wouldn't thry be angry?

  • What structures are people supposed to create exactly?

    I never claimed it was the entire problem and that it solve all of humanity's issues, but the system that they've helped create and now benefit from is what's destroying both the world and humanity. Eating just a few of them wouldn't change that but it'd be a start. That's why the fact that a few hundreds of brave Venetians won't let him do whatever he wants in their home is awesome. Entitled motherfuckers coming in their private planes and yachts acting like they own a city that's literally sinking and where locals can hardly make a living.

  • So you do recognise that. Then why are you spending so much energy defending Bezos and people like him?

    Sure, regular people should rise up and retake power. Take back resources from the billionaires. Idk who "we" are - but I don't live in USA, and if I did I wouldn't be living in a democracy. There are plenty of plans for how to save the planet and they all include stopping billionaires and fundamentally changing the system. Think Bezos will bankroll it if we ask him nicely?

  • Look up "criticism of Amazon" or anything like that and you'll see he isn't just a good guy who happened to make a big benevolent corporation. From antitrust practices, to design theft, especially from POC, counterfeit products, special tax deals designed to contribute as little as possible, a significantly negative effect on the environment and more. Add to that Bezos' personal relationships with business and government leaders that are actively trying to keep people poor, including Trump. It's not the good-guy corporation you think it is.

    And yes, when you're worth 220 billion dollars and you do nothing positive with it whatsoever, you're problematic, bordering on evil. It's greed. If Bezos gave a flying shit about humanity, imagine what kind of change he could actually do.

  • And that shows you don't understand the power of "just owning shares". It's a whole fucking shit load better than having income or money. He can take whatever loan he wants with his stocks as collateral. He skips out completely on doing anything helpful to society whatsoever. People are struggling because of this system, yes, and people like Bezos are happily living grand off of it

    What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?

    Jump

  • I always make the same argument as to why left-wing politics has been so generally unappealing to working-class, average people - in spite of the irony. I vote left, I have a uni degree, and they still piss me off. Don't talk about Marxist analyses, and don't make everything about gender identity or Palestine (I care deeply about Palestine, but it's not the main issue that I'd want my local political party to focus on) make it about the issues facing regular people on an every day basis. Say "bro, me like taxes" instead of producing a 20-page paper on the evils of capitalism.

  • Florida to receive federal funds to build immigration detention sites, including "Alligator Alcatraz," Noem says

    Jump

  • Anything credible to back that up or is it just coping with the fact that half of Americans are brain damaged?

  • I've never seen proof that these claims are more valid than Trump's own claims about the 2020 election. It's USA's own fault - and the incompetence of the Democrats - that these baboons were elected

  • Denmark raises retirement age to 70 — the highest in Europe

    Jump

  • This is my main issue with it too. I can retire at 72 or later.. in more than 40 years. I'd expect to be replaced long before this, so what's the point?

  • Denmark raises retirement age to 70 — the highest in Europe

    Jump

  • Far from perfect, and with rising inequality, but Denmark has generally been relatively decent when it comes to taxing the rich and high-income individuals.

    As born in the 90s I'm expected to retire at the earliest by 72. I don't understand this at all though - I'm expecting a reduced need for labourers as many things become increasingly automatised anyway, so it's an entirely wrong focus in the first place.

  • They do have the mandate of the people since It is a democratically elected government, no matter how rotten it is and how bad of a system gerrymandering etc is. Of course every American doesn't agree with these idiots, thankfully, but it's not like they swooped in by coup d'etat. They're doing exactly what they promised to do, supported by ~35% of American people and accepted by the silent ~35% who didn't bother voting.

  • Shipping giant Maersk cuts ties with companies operating in Israeli settlements

    Jump

  • Absolutely not. As a Dane, our politicians and companies are just as capitalist and opportunist as elsewhere. Our corrupt government has been a major supporter of Israel, including in the weapons trade, and we, for example, just invited the US military to freely use our military bases for the next 10 years. I'm happy to see if popular pressure works.

  • I love seeing that various forms of protest and pressure actually works! Unfortunately, companies tend to go where they think the capital is, so it's for the common people to bring about change and to pressure them in the right direction (unfortunately).

  • 145 people at France music festival report being pricked with syringes after online calls to target women

    Jump

  • I get that it's a frustrating accusation, but as a man I recognise it as generally true, even if I don't resonate with it. Women rarely commit mass shootings, rapes, stabbings, forced drugging, muggings. The people causing trouble in my neighbourhood are exclusive male teenagers and the only genuine threat to me ever is by other men. And no, it's of course not an inherent feature in male genetics, nor is it anything close to "all men", but it's a cultural issue based on how we're raised and it should be fair game to discuss it - although with a better tone than what's normally applied.

  • I'm not even talking about you, am I? This idea is literally everywhere I look by Westerners who can't find their own assholes. If calling these twisted points of view out is a problem for you then deal with that.

    That they haven't done anything to you is irrelevant. Israel hasn't either. In fact no one has, since America is the global state supreme.
