  • Four minors found working at Alabama poultry plant run by firm found responsible for teen's death

  • Maybe this is just me, but aren't payroll taxes a thing? How do you "not know" someone isn't who they say they unless you're already paying people under the table.

  • Louisiana set to become 1st state requiring 10 Commandments be posted in schools

    Jump

  • they don’t care. Their intent is to use the power of the state to suppress everyone else. They already have an answer for your concern and it’s an awful one.

  • Business titans privately urged NYC mayor to use police on Columbia protesters, chats show

    Jump

  • The rich are scared that this could metastasize into anti-capitalism protests in general.

    They know they've gone too far, pushed too much, been too greedy. They know their control is shaken for the first time in almost forty years and they're worried.

  • That’s not a fair thing to say.

    He's also really good at stock manipulation.

  • So, when do churches that support Trump lose their tax-exemption status?

  • Netanyahu ministers join Israeli far-right 'march to Gaza,' demand Palestinians' expulsion

  • Wow, lebensraum, lugenpresse and endlosung. They're, umm, really really trying..

  • David Cameron urges BBC to describe Hamas as terrorist organisation

    Jump

  • I'll put this back to you this way: is Likud also a terrorist organization? Is the IDF? Because they do a lot of the same stuff.

    There are definitely terrorists associated with Hamas, and Hamas definitely carries water for them, but they're also the duly elected government in Gaza and if I were Israel I'd be asking why Gazans feel like they were so wronged that the only option seems to be a political movement that's sympathetic to terrorist tactics.

    Saying "they're terrorists" without acknowledging how we got here is a lot like calling the ANC in South Africa "terrorist" in the 1980s. It's stupidly reductionist and ignores complexity for the sake of jingoism.

    It's also why Cameron is a disingenuous jackass.

  • Continuing the tradition of British conservative prime ministers labelling things "terrorism" when the poor get uppity.

    How's Thatcher looking these days for insisting that Mandela was a terrorist?

  • Toronto developers are getting desperate as no one is buying condos anymore

    Jump

  • Have they tried lowering prices? Crazy, I know...

    In seriousness, this is the problem: capital won't take a haircut because line must go up, and labour is absolutely tapped out. There's no more easy debt to leverage, and thanks to inflation, and more thanks to rampant profiteering and an immigration policy designed to suppress wages and strip-mine new Canadians, no new wealth generated.

    The game of musical chairs that is the real estate market was always going to stop, it was only a question of who was going to be left standing at the end. What will be interesting is, is this the first domino in the chain, as the dearth of condo-to-home buyers in the pipeline blows up everything else?

    My hope is that this whipsaws through the economy and hurts so many people so badly that a) we learn to never let it happen again, and b) that it emboldens governments to finally tax the shit out of the rich.

  • This is on Netanyahu.

    He's put a target on the collective back of the entire Jewish diaspora, just to save his own political skin.

  • ‘We deserve more’: US workers’ share of the pie dwindles

  • Saying this on Reddit or Twitter is a great way to get your account suspended.

    'Cause racism, sexism and harassment are a-ok, but suggest that the rich would behave better if they were afraid instead of contemptuous and you're in the penalty box.

  • Just How Dangerous Is Europe’s Rising Far Right?

  • It's like we learned nothing from the 20th century: every time the rich get too greedy, they'll gleefully fertilize the fields of fascism before they'll accept making less money.

  • Labour Tries to Wheel it Back After Smearing Local Election Voters as 'Hamas Supporters'

    Jump

  • They got addicted to using cries of "antisemitism!" when they were desperate to discredit Corbyn and their own base.

    Labour hates that they're a labour party. They really enjoyed the Blair era and would very much like to get back to it, and it's only these pesky left wing voters that stand in the way.

  • Oddly specific question

    Jump

  • You're forgetting 3. If people who are in an out-group aren't suffering more than I am, I feel oppressed.

  • Higher-paid employees looking for work are having a tough time, and it could be a sign of a shift in the workplace

  • The wealthy really didn't like seeing labour getting off its knees during the pandemic and they're stomping down hard lest we get a taste for it.

  • Every right wing party, in every western democracy, is either benefitting from Russian agitprop, if not taking Russian money directly.
