The American dream

jeudi 26 avril 2018 à 02:00

"America first" was a slogan of American fascists. Some of the bully's associates used associated racist slogans such as "100% American", which was understood as meaning "100% Aryan".

But don't criticize the cheater for saying that the American dream was dead. The Horatio Alger dream, that by hard work you could get a good job and prosperity (not riches), was killed by plutocrats (of which the cheater was just one) years before he became a candidate.

Where he lied was in claiming he would try to reverse that. What he has actually done is help those plutocrats knock other Americans down.

Most young Americans don't know about Hitler's campaign to kill all Jews.

We would have an easier time teaching people to condemn genocide if Israel did not try to use it as an excuse for the occupation of Palestine. We could be more successful in campaigning against real antisemitism if criticism of Israel's occupation policy were not mislabeled as antisemitism.

Facebook advertising

jeudi 26 avril 2018 à 02:00

Supposedly Facebook doesn't allow companies to arbitrarily add email addresses to the list of people they can advertise to. In practice, they seem to be doing it.

Instead of looking for ways to make small changes to put an end to this, we should aim to drastically reduce massive surveillance at all levels.

90 companies

Just 90 Companies Caused Two-Thirds of Man-Made Global [Heating] Emissions.

This is, of course, a sign of the dangerous concentration of industry into large businesses.
