Radical ideas, but:

Pay people appropriately and enough to live comfortably

Health insurance shouldn't be tied to your job, universal healthcare

Tax the rich

Billionaires shouldn't exist

TRICKLE DOWN DOESN’T WORK; THE ULTRA WEALTHY JUST HOARD IT AND CRUSH EVERYONE ELSE

Getting really tired of capitalism; it doesn't work and is literally destroying the world

We are fucked.

I don’t care if this is alarmism (it isn’t) if it gets people to wake the fuck up.

No one is listening and if we don’t do something NOW this planet is going to become unlivable. We need to start making real change right fucking now. Not in 10 years, not it 5, right now.

A pledge to be carbon neutral by 2050 is worse than useless. Electric vehicles are not the future, personal vehicles more technologically complex than fucking bicycles are not the future. A future where capitalism exists in any form is not the answer.

Stop buying into capitalist solutions for a problem caused solely by capitalism.

We need to start decarbonizing now. And yet.

Politicians are still signing off on more fossil fuel production and will continue to do so as long as we allow them to.

Any politician who fail to take meaningful action on climate change should be out of a job.

This shit is not a joke.

There will be no future under capitalism. The sooner that is understood and accepted, the sooner the real work can start.

We don’t have time to hand hold and placate capitalists. Every second we spend doing it is a second we could be spending fighting for our fucking lives.

Humanity is self destructing and we know how to stop it.

Our way of life is killing us and by the time the people in power get around to caring about it it’ll be too late.

Sorry if that’s hard to hear, it’s certainly hard to say. But all a comforting lie is going to do is ensure our collective fucking demise.

non-disruptive protest doesn't work.

aside from the fact that the point of a protest is to cause enough disruption that the government is forced to concede, there's also another element to this that i personally feel is more prevalent, especially these days with governments across the world cracking down on protest rights.

the way i see it, as do many others on the left, is that if protest is meant to force the hand of the state via disruption, but the state is the one to define what "acceptable" protest is, then there would never be a protest that works, as the state will inevitably only define protests that don't threaten the status quo as acceptable, thus preventing any real change from happening.

this ^report is from 2020. However- much news has since been reported about the staggering increase of wealth 'at the top' since COVID began.

"...Canadian capitalism is exposed in the study as an oligarchic social order.

According to the PBO, the share of wealth held by the top one percent of Canadians is 25.6 percent. This is almost double the estimate of 13.7 percent given by Statistics Canada."

@allthecanadianpolitics good resource article here.

Another annoying detail of Black Friday is the bombardment of emails from any company you have remotely been interested in. You thought you unsubscribed years ago, but they're back. Flooding your inbox. Literally flooding.

But they're not just on Black Friday, they've been all week... Don't miss out! Get 30% off that thing you bought for Christmas like 5 years go! What about 25% off that item you bought last week and hasn't even arrived in the post yet? You need this bargain!! Consume!

And they're even happening this weekend. With Black Friday supposedly over. The "final 24 hours, don't miss this sale". Black Friday week or whatever... Then it's online, so brace yourself capitalism is still in overdrive for Cyber Monday. Consume, consume!

It's extremely annoying in a world where you already feel bombarded with advertising.

And Black Friday is extremely new for me being British. We don't have Thanksgiving, but because companies thought they'd make money it's over here.

Corporations after exploiting workers, cutting wages and benefits, and denying their employees basic human decency:

Nobody wants to work 🥺👉👈

"Kathryne Harper was among the demonstrators who demand better working conditions and pay for Amazon workers. She says she doesn't work for the company but at a bookstore in Williamsburg.

" I get asked all the time if we price match with Amazon," Harper said. "The answer is always no."

"I have to tell them that we charge full price for books because our workers get things like bathroom breaks and fair wages," she added."

since there's all this jubilee shit going on over here, thought i'd just take the time to reaffirm that this is a british monarchy hate blog.

fuck the monarchy. fuck the royal family. fuck the government for making us pay for all this over-the-top shit, especially while there's a cost of living crisis going on.
