When wondering how the World can be so fucked up at the moment, remember this: many billionaires have the Dark Triad: Machiavellianism-Narcissism-Psychopathy. They manipulate for their own gain, they think they're never wrong and they lack empathy. They should not be let to make any decisions affecting other people. The question is, why do we let people like this still get in charge? They don't deserve out praise or respect.#eattherich #politics #psychology https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/dangerous-ideas/201910/psychology-s-dark-triad-and-the-billionaire-class
“I think this is the worst-case-scenario verdict.” New from Steven Monacelli: Late last week, feds notched a victory in an unprecedented and controversial trial that sought to tie alleged members of “Antifa” to domestic terrorism, a case that could cast a long shadow over free expression. https://www.texasobserver.org/prairieland-antifa-verdict-threatens-anti-trump-resistance/ #antifa #Trump #NorthTexas #Texas #politics #USpol #news

@MikeImBack I don't think you appreciate how much flows through the straight, even if all countries around the world maxed out their production there'd still be a shortage relative to what has been lost.That has major downstream implications.Already we're seeing schools close in Pakistan because of lack of electricity, if some shipments of fertilizer don't arrive on time entire crops won't be able to be planted, millions could starve.
@jemmesedi Racism, bigotry, religion, hate, fear, vaccines, and yes, immigrants. The order is probably different for different people. They're all awful.
@ChrisMayLA6 Labour's problem is that having ditched Corbyn's mass-membership funding model - actually passing much of that membership and fund-raising income over to the Green Party - and also losing input from the wider labour movement - Labour has nowhere to go other than big business.
@oatmeal PERISH THE THOUGHT! Egad! POLITICS?!?!? Surely no! Just an earnest unbiased expression of appreciate and class affiliation... I mean... No... Uh...
@TexasObserver God and the State. What's the difference, really?"L'etate c'est moi"Of course, you should remember what happened to the guy who said that.
do they actually celebrate st. patrick's day in ireland or is that like a cinco de mayo thing where people in the us just want a reason to drink? #ireland #politics #mexico
@ChrisMayLA6 I'd prefer to think that the US in particular is heading towards the emergence of independence movements as individual States devolve from the Federal govt in response to the increasingly autocratic central rule imposed by virtue of too much power being concentrated in too few hands.
Out today: “This feels like a very colonialistic action. … Somebody with a lot of money comes into your town, uses up all your resources, does not talk to the people that are there, makes money, and sends it somewhere else.” https://www.texasobserver.org/man-v-nature/ #politics #USpol #pollution #law #environment #ClimateChange #Trump
