  • 4320p (8k) video makes as much sense as 96kHz audio. Both have a legitimate role in capture and creation, but a vanishingly minuscule role at the point of playback and consumption.

  • This argument lends weight to the specious idea that taxation on wealth hoarding is necessary to pay for the provision of society.

    Provisioning healthcare, housing, food, water, transport, and a liveable environment is not constrained by financing, it’s an exclusively social and political choice to not allocate or deploy the appropriate resources.

    The financially obese should be euthanised through taxation, not because we need their money, but because they’re an existential threat to any society that tolerates them.

  • The plan is to physically destroy yourself to fix an entirely imaginary problem.

    The ‘National Debt’ is merely the cumulative tally of money that nation’s government has ‘spent’ into, and not yet taxed out of, existence. It imposes no tangible burden, and believing it does helps the owning class convince the uninitiated to choose and work against their own interests.

  • Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich. Much more entertainment potential, and more hygienic.

  • Emotional support compensators which drink artisanal spirits.

  • He’s not worth $257 billion, that’s just what he’s been allowed to hoard.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

  • Another way I often frame my perspective on this is:

    Economics is the social control mechanism that filled the void vacated by religion after the Enlightenment.

    Mythology was replaced with finance.… Churches with banks.… Clergy with economists.… God with GDP.

    I don’t see either as inherently problematic systems, but their lack of rigorous foundational attachment to reality informs my argument that they should be applied as subservient tools, as opposed to their current role as dominant, dictatorial weapons.

  • A distinction without a difference. Lobbying and propaganda are basically the prophesizing and scripture of politics.

  • Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Its power is proportional to the belief it commands.

    Finance is an arbitrary subset of mathematics, cherry picked to retroactively support a given economic model, and applied as its supporting mythology.

    It’s entirely imaginary, which means alternatives are only ever a conjuring away.

  • What do you call ‘alternative’ medicine that’s been proven to work?

    Medicine.

    Desirable ‘side’ effects are just effects.

  • Australia is a colony of convicts which ‘grew’ into a nation of wardens.

    Authoritarian states will always side with their peers over their citizens.

  • The US has been a nation no-one should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and will not be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

    Right now it’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within the remainder of my lifetime.

  • Absolutely not into kink shaming, but non-coerced consent is key, and a foundation of finance is coercion.

  • They’re called ATMs because you’re expected to eat shit after they fuck you.

  • Autoerotic asphyxiation from farts in an echo chamber produce the wildest trips.

  • White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    Any group which resides at the pinnacle of privilege, yet feels aggrieved such that it requires exclusion of, and protection from, conflicting ideas, has relinquished all legitimate claims to strength and authority.
