    Youtube suddenly deleted 15 years worth of on-the-ground video documentation of Palestinian life under Israeli occupation. This is how they systematically erase people's history and replace it with the oppressors viewpoint.

    After over 15 years of having a Youtube account, now, while Israel is genociding Palestinians, Youtube has suddenly closed my account completely. This is not coincidental. I had many videos which I took in Gaza, under Israel's bombs in 2009 & 2012...

    These billionaires salivate at the thought of us all killing each other over culture wars while they watch from their luxury bunkers. They fear the thought of us collectively directing our anger towards them in a class war.

    One of the biggest misconceptions about capitalism is that it rewards intelligence. First & foremost, it rewards privilege (being born into wealth). Beyond that, it rewards ruthlessness, manipulation & anyone willing to exploit others. The working class is full of "smart" people.

    Capitalism is such an inefficient and wasteful system. So much so that roughly a third of the world's food is ultimately discarded before consumed. This amounts to about 1.3 billion tons a year. Meanwhile, billions of people struggle with food insecurity.

    A tiktoker shared video of the amount of food being thrown out at a Walmart. Just an unfathomable volume of needless waste.

    The video the op used is from November 2017 after tornado The food was dangerous “ Unfortunately, due to a tornado that affected our store in Celina, Ohio on November 5, the food being disposed of was unsafe to eat after the store lost power for 14 hours,” globalnews.ca/news/3861732/w… foodsafety.gov/food-safety-ch…

    Joe Biden started his political career as a segregationist. He's ending his political career by carrying out a genocide.

    If humanity survives capitalism and the US empire, the US will be looked back on in the same ways Nazi Germany is now. People have a way of minimizing or turning a blind eye to the horrors that exist in the moment, but *people's history* doesn't lie.

    Holy shit. Abbott has installed these circular saws in the Rio Grande. Migrants have already been caught and died in these “river walls” and this is clearly meant to hurt and kill more.

    We're intentionally miseducated to obscure this connection. Capital is global & relies on colonialism/imperialism to steal land/resources & open cheap labor markets for capitalists. It all comes full circle when the working class within the imperial core is abandoned/liquidated.

    The richest man on earth cosplaying as a hardworking servant of the people is the pinnacle of virtue signaling.

    At this point, Congress is just an arms dealer. No education. No access to healthcare. No housing. No clean drinking water. But we’ll finance your war.

    You can't commodify every single aspect of living and then not understand looting as a legitimate form of protest. Looting is the ultimate strike against a system that deems mass-produced objects to be far more precious than life itself. It is humanity demanding to be recognized.

    A president with a net worth of $4.1 billion employing an education secretary with a net worth of $3.2 billion to confiscate wages and social security from poor and working-class people for education debt is the epitome of America.

    Slave systems (from chattel slavery to feudalism to capitalism) have evolved and even loosened in their structure, but they have also maintained similar psychosocial dynamics throughout these transitions. One of the most notable of these is the laborer being convinced that
