    I’m fine with downvotes, but often the problem with the left is not enough money… And it’s understandable if they’re always anti corporations and anticapitalist.

    But… It would be good to have more rich leftists and punks. They could treat workers better with stock sharing (like that Chobani company did that one time), or by letting the workers have more time off, or just have the company (making it a worker owned coop)… Or in a much more centist way, like Mark Cuban (probably not a leftist) making generic medicines more accessible.

    I’m just saying, a punk complaining about “corporate media” whilst valid, also feels cliche, and like a pathway to apathy, defeat, and being fairly voiceless in comparison to that corporate media (which is often loud, prevalent, and leans right).

    What if instead - there was a Punk company, that WAS a media “corporation”? They could push punk messages all the time, whilst being a source of money, art, culture, and sustainable messaging and events.

    I think that could be more punk, than the great traditions of amazing zines, in runs of 20 - 50 or less… and Yelling into a microphone and calling it music.

    I guess all punks of action must become antiheros, and no corporation can be completely without heirachy…

    …you know what, forget I said anything.







  • It’s 506 billionaire euros:

    At the previous summit, Belgium blocked the decision; Euroclear Holding, which holds the immobilized assets on its balance sheet, is headquartered there. In an interview with RTBF Valerie Urbain, Euroclear’s сhief executive officer, voiced her opposition to the “reparation loan” mechanism and said that she was ready to challenge this decision in court.

    This is why Governments need to take the fight against Neo-Liberalism and Capitalism seriously. Nationalise this company, and throw the CEO in jail for a bit.




  • Here’s my explanation: how you treat ChatGPT today, is how people at the top end of silicone valley have ALWAYS treated their assistants, and anyone “below” them.

    They’re surprised that you don’t enjoy having the simulation of someone you can hurl abuse at, make demands of, and call an idiot - who has to stick around and take it. The perfect underling.

    They’re reproducing their own lack of empathy, and surprised that YOU don’t want to be like them.
