Social network allowing dangerous Covid theories to be shared, says Bureau of Investigative Journalism
An investigation has found 430 pages – followed by 45 million people – using Facebook’s tools, including virtual “shops” and fan subscriptions, while spreading false information about Covid-19 or vaccinations.
The findings come despite a promise the platform made last year that no user or company should directly profit from false information about immunisation against Covid-19. …
Do you order your leftists books through the internet? I’ve heard a lot of people will only go searching In used bookstore and buy with cash. Maybe that’s a bit paranoid but not far fetched to be cautious. Thoughts?
View of the Pyramid of Meidum, started as a step pyramid but then converted into a true pyramid, but it partially collapsed in ancient times, located around 62 miles (100 km) south of modern Cairo.
Seeing people on twitter say shit like “Robinhood needs to stop blocking people from buying stocks and artificially fucking withe price because that’s pretty commie” is making me ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ‸இﾟ)ﾟ｡ sometime they can be belittled enough into saying “crony capitalism”
“private companies doing things is communism” has to be the funniest braindead take out there
No, but the government helping them block out the little guy sure as fuck isn’t capitalism.
it’s actually perfectly aligned with the logic of capitalism. the government serves capital before its people.
You are an extra idiot. Capitalism is the FREE market.
Government restricting my access is not a FREE market.
hmmm, then why does the capitalist class choose to work with the government and form governing institutions?
You are so close to understanding.
That class doesn’t want a FREE market, ya ken?
…you realize capitalist class is something inherently present in capitalism, right?
you’re literally upset with how capitalism operates. you think it isn’t capitalism because it turns out in reality things can end up differently than your utopian idea of a free market.
This is what’s wrong with communist/neolib leftists. How on earth do you think people can just withdraw their labor power? Like how divorced from reality do you have to think you can just be like “stop working! That will show them!” Thats just… Just unbelievable
please tell me you’re taking the piss and have, in fact, heard of a strike before
noted organ of ‘neolib’ action… the general strike……….
All unemployment in the modern age is a function of capital. Whether you are working or not working it will always benefit the billionaire class. This is the definition of class warfare, which if wasn’t obvious these last few days we are in a class war. In the 20th century, striking would have been an effective tool against this, but with the advancement in technology and the “gig-fying” of the economy, striking has become nearly useless. To continue to encourage it is the definition of neoliberalism.
as an ex-gig worker i assure you that’s not the case. the fundamental relation of labor to how wealth is ‘made’ has not changed. the issues with previous uber strikes was that they were terribly organized as the workers have been atomized. and it’s not just the monied weirdos who feel the effects. my riders probably would not have enjoyed not having rides.
if you’re like “uber loses money every year. they’re propped up by venture capital money so it doesn’t matter what workers do,” futzing around with short stocks won’t change that either.
do you think those gains would have been greater without the pandemic, or with the pandemic?
what you’re suggesting is equivalent to saying turn of the century pieceworkers in the textile industry striking would not have had an effect.
sorry i called your brain an egg. your brain isn’t an egg.
Yes I’m saying an Uber strike is useless. Because as you said it’s been done before and in a gig economy all strikes are useless, there is infinite labour force now. The nature of Uber is nearly unlimited labour force. There is nothing to withdraw. You can’t even compare it to turn of the century conditions. That is what I am trying to say. Striking might have worked then but we’re living in a society that has squashed all the effectiveness striking has now.
The labor force is no more infinite than it was ages ago. How is driving Uber any more limitless than working other jobs with no high barriers to entry?
A successful Uber strike would require collective planning, which is why previous attempts didn’t work. Uber drivers are way too atomized. This is the case with any kind of job where you don’t see your co-workers. It can be done, though. NYC taxi drivers have a fine model.
If labor organizing didn’t work, if it was an organizational relic, Amazon would not be shitting bricks at their Bessemer warehouse right now, hiring literal Pinkertons (yes THOSE Pinkertons) and making cutesy “but think of the dues you’d have to pay!” sites to discourage unions. If strikes were so harmless, Uber and Lyft would not have poured MILLIONS into Prop 22 in California. Charter schools would not be doing their damndest to stamp out teacher unions.
We hear from readers all the time who say they’d love to grow some of their own food, but they don’t have a big yard to work with. Fear not, readers! You can grow some of your own food on a patio, balcony, fire escape or in pots on your rooftop. The trick is to plan well, using the proper plants and tools for the job.
