All Tech is increasingly Capitalist 1st,...
And therefore almost useless for moral change.
Their #DeliberateDesign is better than what we can do with it (when we have to invest AND buy INTO it first AND THEN try to undo it AFTER...)
Change is almost useless when buying INTO it first AND THEN trying to undo it 😆 ![]()
A lot isn't because of who #manages / #manipulates it.
#Uncaring #primitive people at the top controlling render it all useless and damage the earth meanwhile....
We need a mindset change - from seeing nature as separate from humans, to seeing it as an integral part of our existence. #FreeSchool

#Democracy vs. #Tech #TechBros
They want to make us poor (A reminder of human life using bank's usury at it's core)...
#Life is not to be passed on but paid for as much as
possible more infinitely as a kind of "#maximization" and "#efficiency" towards more useless #profit (because it's mostly for others while people stay nearer minimum lines to exist).
Keeping people #desperate as customers and keeping people
coming back is a lot via #usury. What stays broken basically needs us to constantly mend it without every getting there with money alone and forever paying...
Selling / Buying #Money (loans / fees = devaluation of total
money in the pool) and a large part of #Capitalism itself
making it never-ending.

details for how #debt works."

And this for me is modern people / Church / etc - every day not facing or getting rid of things... just keeping the 'peace' (not really working on it personally in their life for real change)
...and that 'nice-nice' is undermining every single thing they do trying to manage it that way.
"We are simply not stopping hell.
What they do is up to them."
Angel Gabriel talking... (in #Heaven about #Hell)
🕔 Time: 05.32 S02E02
MORE EXPLAINED:
#Hell continues as #Heaven plays along effectively, maybe to keep themselves alive too!
So both sides are not going to war fully in order to keep themselves alive (the modern day equation) and not eliminate each other (even though that undermines everything they do as both sides "manage" it badly / immoral according to what they stand for)

Why do I always end up a solo act? (Spiderwoman Quote + Systematic Detachment / Uncaring System)
#FreeSchool Wisdom from #Spiderman / #Spiderwoman
🖼️ Picture Credits: Added text from similar scene in:
Spider Man - Across The Spider Verse [2023]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Across_the_Spider-Verse
"In this line of work, you always windup a solo act"
#Systematic #Detachment
#Circular #Extractive #System
#Uncaring #Unemotional
#STEM vs. #humanity... why Tyrants use STEM mostly because it detaches from humanity more often...
Not all STEM's fault but obviously... but...
#STEM often ends up as detachment from #humanity but nature of it's focus and specialty (cutting out of other things).
Excessive use is a big cause of increasing distance from reality... but that's what helps STEM make it 'efficient'. There's no H in STEM.
For me this is why it's a favourite #toolset for #tyrants and tyrannical people as it's well suited to #war and converting things towards it.
Good AND Bad people are on the same opposite spectrum (same emotional ignorance). The whole spectrum of ignorance helps ignore / damage it all more good or bad person)
===================
#PRIMITIVE STEM EXAMPLES
===================
🔴 SCIENCE Consuming huge amounts of resources towards less human connection; Biological weapons, more nuclear consumption, towards profit, control, manipulation?
🔴 TECHNOLOGY by mainstream that design to 'give' choice that ends up as the same thing in the end. (different doors leading to the same door).
🔴 ENGINEERING Weapons as PLANES AND BOMBS 💣 TANKS, HELICOPTERS ETC -
🔴 MATHS Numbers not quite representing people. Incorrect accounting (according to designer of #Matrix)
As well 'GOOD' things, bigger damage in STEM - even the good less economically damaging ends up helping fund war / bombs / profit again.
Bad circle for STEM / Humanity.
I guess we had to go there to find this out...
but now need to #degrowth quite a bit to ALLOW the humanity to creep in and grow more instead of be cut out for #money #banks to chew on.
#ACAB #POLICE some good people inside the bad?
#ACAB #POLICE I want to believe there are some good people - while I think all enforcement signups know what they are getting into also or that there is more of bad mix perhaps...
BUT perhaps even they themselves are not told / find out the #percentage of each type of #enforcement they will be doing / never actually know until time passed where they fall into and for example how will it will change. Probably people have to go where told and can't just stay in 1 or 2 things unless they fight to stay in places / be less universal #soldier. It's like that for a lot of jobs where they want squeeze most from people in as many ways as possible.
So while people sign up for bad things (like any "company" might have) and #cops could use their physicality on people or even like shoot things, it's still a question of the hierarchy using them better.
I accept people are born with more tendencies and talents but don't like it's for #war and prefer #AmericanFootball or #MMA or #shoot range as a disciplined #sport / #sports and sportsman-like ways which police could be as, nice guys even when tackling people to the ground instead of antagonist / those that offer opposition and threat to #public people.
So over-focusing on
traffic and issuing tickets (#quotas),
harassing the poor people (on #estates / #coucilestates)
using force to scare even the #honest people...
#economic or otherwise...
...just isn't cool...
But what to do when it's one of the only consistent jobs going (or was). It's "Fight for us or Starve" like the army used to be and #State /.$tate might say (or it's all the same).
And all of the above while not fixing the #cause but spending money on the #symptoms instead accumulating #force as most of the " #answer " and perpetuating also hence ACAB :(
People are $tuck in #jobs too I'm sure - fighting a #competitive #planet #economy either way as #soft or #hard fighting -
Some groups just make more of a #killing than others ("making a killing" as in the " #legal " sense of getting #money #phrase for #smoe kind of #slavery / working increasingly for #banks / #bank)
Banks as a #mathematical black 'hole' / bucket with a hole...
Banks are a #mathematical 'hole'...
Like a bad #algorithm #human #tax just for using it... #extortion when all life depends on erroneous, political and immoral numbers... it's a #war on people as a tool itself 'given' to people
- agree @freemo ?
Imagine the 'hole in the bucket' which they call #economics' - but the bucket is leaks as you use it (they catch the 'leaks') and people are paying over and over per dollar (paying multiples times) for " #money " itself - rendering using money futile / cheapening itself as a political or other change since they always get more (and abuse it / #fund #bad things).
Economics looks it's keeping people afloat but all it's doing is feedign economic soldiers, speeding up the progress of debt (people pushing up prices / power of debt / rent etc) ALL while planet is not as infinite as the maths and suffering also with it accordingly...
Money is a made up thing remember and 'optimised' over time like we see teh #web has been with #Enshitification !
Made by #bourgeois #classism / #royalty / #elite types that from day 1 had the idea to# trap people so YOU pay for everything while they (the royalty / crown / #bourgeois) sit back and do fuck al but make things worse as to keep the power leverage and bad balance in their favour.
Sounds very human as #slavery to me and proven over history (so it's kinda normal, but do you want to #evolve out of it) and repeatedly people seem to do that kind of things... instead of relieving suffering, and making it harder instead.
Money / Banks are not designed to help equalise or take care of people... but maintain unfairness (power) and crush people to take the top % cream from them and #planet...
I guess this fall under hashtags #crisis #human #suffering #finance #fascism #politics #slavery #energy
#climate #ClimateJusticeNow #plunder #pirates #colonialsim
Diminishing returns VS. #Donations
Was funny / coincidental....
Was looking at Wikipedia page:
#Law of #Diminishing Returns page and coincidentally it showed a donations advert...
Now it's #Wikipedia so it's fine but imagine a pay-gate next (like everything else, which is quite logical if people don't like paying through US banks or just don't pay at all being stingy / poor)
I thought this was worth saying as there are a number of valid factors destined to become poor,
And if you like paying through American banks do give)... even if I wouldn't because all the #Wealth seems to turn out for the worse in the end... (and via US Bank$ #US mis-managing it all behind your back - sorry but seem #USPol seems totally related to #donations and #banking after all)... Peace.
#Wealth is the ladder to becoming poor in the future as a society and then individually again...
#Wealth is the ladder to becoming poor in the future...
⬇️ Explained a bit more:
Everything gets more #expensive with modern Capitali$m / Bank$ / $tate because:
➡️ ALL = for the getting / #extracting "more" money from people (even if it's for less service or even a bad one)
#Capitalism / #Banks / #State are not caring right ❓
Mostly all uncaring #containers.
Wealth is just a mechanism to take more from people and for them to temporarily feel like they have something while it #exponentially gets more expensive and $tate / Banks / #Tech take full #ladder of control.
💬 #FreeSchool #Quote
For the #caring people to see in the future (as if we don't see it now) #FreeMo @freemo to see the real #equation.
===========
|| Picture Text: ||
===========
More expensive = More cost to all
= More cost to keep "wealth" going...
(= increase cost to others)
= More #poor as you and others push up " #wealth " / rising prices / #greed / #power / #control ...etc!
...as the cost to each other
and by Bank$ and $tate goes up
for greed mostly (because costs force control / power in their favour)
Much like #cruelty to #animals.
Asking them to jump more for their food, away from #oppression, simple safety etc!
#TLDR;
Wealth is just a mechanism to take more from people and for them to temporarily feel like they have something while it #exponentially gets more expensive and $tate / Banks / #Tech take full #ladder of control.
#TECH #Music for those investing their life in #Technology #STEM and not really developing people, Wonder how that's going to turn out.
All in the #Musk tech boat perhaps...

"Free School" is a movement and modern hashtag continuing the 60's & 70's practice of educational living and learning life together towards #DIY & #Caring (at the same time).
#Fediverse #Notes #Quotes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites towards #Freedom
via Hashtag #FreeSchool or https://qoto.org/web/tags/freeschool for
#FreeSchool is my continuation of a living personal collection of FreeSchool gems like quotes that offer a one-line summary and longer forms of writing using "Show more" button (might hide things too much as it's a CW or Content Warning feature to shorten it).
#AltText used (when I remember) but I'm using a bot in 2025 which reminds me when I haven't added AltText.
If you want a great film documentary I like almost 100%, then below is a story towards humanity by showing Capitalism and Moore's personal experience of it's effect locally.

I think we can solve most of everything ourselves (we don't need to wait forever for leaders and rich people to change because they won't and they already decided!)... IF ONLY we start talking together THEN we can do it and snowball all good things on Fedi!
FreeSchool aims at a better #Art of #Life (of many sorts) in whatever way that suits and directs the individual towards even more community and freedoms.

I welcome audio chats. Simple chat can be done using any browser - 3 clicks and in - no install, no account, no google - instant! #Jitsi chat is better than #Matrix for it's speed of entry and ease (opensource, community has used for many years.) Just ask me for a link.
I'm someone who #Cares for people and planet, but wise enough to know tricks of the trade.
The real work now is about better humans... so when you give them hammers they know how not to damage the place .... We have to accept mistakes and not be too scared of people either.
Enough of the material work, time to work on the mind AND care at the same time as doing ALL things more things...
