Remember when Jeff Bezos, who is worth 181 billion USD donated 690k to stopping Australian fires? Yeah, me too.
McKenzie Scott is literally proof that these fuckers can donate HUGE sums of money to EVERYTHING and still live a comfortable life…. But nooO someone HAS to justify the pitifully small donations the richest men on earth make every year for their tax write-off
Some also important context (this is June 2021, after her second round of grants was announced), as well:
[image description: tweet from Dan Price, the Seattle business owner who doesn’t take a massive salary and pays everybody at his company really well: “Two years ago, she had $36 billion. Since then, she has donated $8 billion - more than anyone in the world. She is now worth $60 billion. I think people struggle to understand just how fast wealth accumulates for the super-rich. She literally can’t give it away fast enough.”.]
She’s trying to singlehandedly redistribute the wealth she took back from Jeff Bezos and is failing at it because the economy is built so that wealth travels from the bottom, accumulates at the top, and then stays there. She literally cannot give her money away fast enough.
Think about this. This is our current capitalist economy at work. It is working as intended and designed by those who benefit from it.
Her story is incredibly revealing of how and where the system is failing.
It also means that we can, indeed, tax the hell out of billionaires and they will not suffer at all.

this thread is proof it works
Mackenzie Scott was perfectly fine with her ex husband’s business practices until he cheated on her and got caught. She’s perfectly fine taking the money her ex stole from his workers and using it to buy herself good pr but not giving it back to the people from whom it was stolen. If she handed back that money to every Amazon employee she could ensure their financial security and cripple her ex’s business model but she doesn’t actually have a problem with what bezos did, she just wanted to win the divorce.
The disconnect between Trump supporters and reality on elections was on full display for viewers of Joe Pags’ podcast.
Pags interviewed far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer about her unsuccessful 2020 bid for Congress in Florida’s 21st district.
“You got very close to winning, you were a real challenger,” Pags falsely claimed.
In reality, Loomer lost by 80,313 votes in a 20-point landslide.
There are two explanations here
One is that this person is such a deranged freak that she actually believes the tinfoil hat “Elvis is living on the moon and JFK was killed by the Mole People” bullshit she’s saying in which case she shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near political office
Or she’s a corrupt deceitful liar making up bullshit in a desperate attempt to subvert and corrupt democracy so that she and fascists like her can steal election results by just saying that any result they don’t like is “Fake news” in which case she should not be allowed anywhere near political office
Basically what I’m saying is there is no universe which exists where this brainless nazi goatfucker should be allowed to hold any form of political power anywhere on earth
The Boogeyman (1980) | Ulli Lomell | USA | Video Nasty 10 of 72
Some critics have said that director Lommel was inspired by John Carpenter’s Halloween when he made The Boogeyman, most notably because of the similarities in the musical score and the fact that the killer in both films is a silent man with his face obscured as to make him effectively featureless. In fact, the protagonist characters in Halloween specifically refer to that film’s killer as being, in effect, a physical embodiment of the “boogeyman” legend.
The Boogeyman was placed on the UK’s DPP list in 1984, but was later re-released on the Vipco label in 1992 in a cut form. In 2000 it was released uncut. (x)
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
