  • Absolutely, and they are undoubtedly one of the key players responsible for the global resurgence of fascism—for example, in the form of the current U.S. regime, but at the same time also in other countries, first and foremost Israel, but also in Europe, and in every remaining democracy. Their unlimited resources make this possible, and they want more and more.

    As I said: These are humanity’s worst enemies.






  • Yes, this is the result of neo-capitalist policies; Deutsche Bahn has been partially privatized, which—as is always the case with this logic—means that profits flow into the pockets of billionaires while losses are borne by the general public. That is why, for example, Germany’s internet infrastructure is at the level of a Third World country, even though Telekom generates enormous revenue.

    It’s the result of U.S.-style exploitative capitalism, from which we cannot break free because—just as in the U.S.—it has corrupted all the levers of power—but hey, that’s why Germany has so many billionaires compared to other countries.

    Edit: That, by the way, is also why the AfD is so strong in Germany. It’s a carbon copy of MAGA and owes its popularity to the same billionaires. This party is anything but an “alternative,” as its name might lead misinformed people to believe: It embodies everything Trump stands for—corruption and unscrupulousness—and that’s putting it quite mildly.

    Educate yourselves, read their party platform, and let people know what it stands for. If you don’t want an oligarchy, that’s your civic duty!



  • In other words: Now that he’s no longer getting any money from Google, he’s suddenly upset that no one is visiting his site anymore, because most of his former visitors now find the answers to their questions directly on Google—the very company to which he sold all of his website’s content.

    Well, he could have figured that out sooner. What a moron—but hey, he’s already pocketed the money for all the content he stole from his own users.

    It’s a good thing Aaron Swartz doesn’t have to witness all this, especially since the greediest of all corporations are now raking in money with complete impunity for the very thing he was supposed to go to prison for years—even though he had no intention of enriching himself at all.
