💰 Capitalism is not the only thing in life we can help build.
💌 Love is the new system of Life when working together.
#Love System vs #Capitalist System
#Jobs #Capitalism #Love ?
Jobs in life should prioritise spreading peaceful ways.
If it's not respecting you and you are not respecting people while working - consider something else (let's talk).
❓ Ask yourself ❓
"Does my job or activity grow better understanding / peace between people ? "
Keeping better relativity and "better ways" (a bit more) will help keep things intact. I see it as the higher priority even if you can't have it all.
Capitalism is not the only thing in life we can help build.
#Capitalism is somewhat measurably opposite to everything
It's cutting all corners in order to achieve less long-term for everyone / make it more expensive / privatise wealth.
#Capitalism vs. Life
So Capitalism as a house is bad / bad-progression.
Capitalism wants to achieve different goals than the spreading love / peace / respect / freedoms between us.
Capitalism also wants to spread #debt and #consumption as slow #death and #depression on top of not spread love / peace.
Ask yourself -
" Do I do something that grows love / peace or pure profit mostly? "
Do you want to spread / #grow more peace and love?
I believe a "loving system" can start to exist if we inject it constantly.
Currently you and me are selling out to Capitalism.
Not just hippie style utopia either, just normal love / respect for people! And less selling them / selling plant out for 'even more' profit... when those people have plenty already.
Capitalism could be said as the opposite of love / peace as it (and it's people) just take from body more than improve the people's mind / love for each other, and yes such big #profit without giving back to people is bad...

An idea I'm playing with: A tool that lets you build a basic HTML page, and shows you how to host it for free.
first and only time i agree with jimmy donaldson. the promise of the creator economy is a myth whose propagation helps the platforms and plenty of other parasitic industries built up around them.
Apple... it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth.

We have the collective power to stop tech that doesn’t serve us.

Buses, trams, trains and metros halted for three minutes in protest after assault https://nltimes.nl//2024/04/21/buses-trams-trains-metros-halted-three-minutes-protest-assault
#ukrainian citizens who fled the war and are in draft age will now be rejected by immigration offices in #poland and #czechrepublic
This is disgusting and I don't agree with it.
If #Ukraine does not have paid #soldiers who are willing to fight, the war should end by Russia conquering them.
I can't believe this is really happening. People who flee the war are sentenced to death by EU countries. Disgusting, disturbing and all for money of few wealthy people.
The shot clock is back in the game and NBAFB is finally complete! The original 7-segments had failed when I bought this game and it was hard to source the original part, so I had to get creative. These 7-segments are a tad larger and use a custom board to hold them, but very few players will probably ever notice it's not the original. #pinball #pinrepair
It’s #STFUfriday!
When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:
- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.
- Am I free to leave?🧵
- I am not answering any questions.
- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."
- I want to speak to a lawyer.
Cops are only REQUIRED to give you Miranda warnings if you are “in custody.” “Not free to go” is an oversimplification.
Remember you can always invoke your rights even when you aren’t in custody.🧵
The most personal data from more than 13 million people who have healthcare from Kaiser Permanente was given to Microsoft, Google and others. How? Looks like Kaiser's web/mobile applications went all in with the spyware Big Tech seeds into everything it can.
https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/26/kaiser_patient_data/
The people who run Kaiser should lose their jobs for this. They won't. They'll blame some underlings who won't be held accountable in any real way.
Ad-tech is cancer on privacy. And it's everywhere. Use blockers!
A while back I downloaded my old #couchsurfing profile (because I was joining #Couchers). I ended up in tears reading about all the kind, gentle things the hundred or so people who had surfed my sofa were doing with themselves 15 years on from hippying around Europe. The world is full of wonderful, kind people. I need to remember that more often
This. #travel #couchsurfing. So wonderful. And another proof for the fact that there is nice people everywhere. Literally.

Des mutuals sont sur BeWelcome ?
Depuis la merdification de CouchSurfing dans les années 2015 (et mon incapacité matérielle d’héberger) j’avais laissé tomber ce genre de choses… mais là je prends la température, voir si ça peut m’être utile pour des prochains voyages et si je peux dépanner des gens en galère.
Si tu y es aussi, ajoute-moi en ami, c’est sympa (et c’est mieux pour la confiance) :

Help Exchange Networks + Hospitality (Couchsurfing + List)
2 things
(1) Hospitality systems / Couchsurfing etc
Free Room / No Rent systems
#Couchsurfing still good example
( almost 'died' or took a dive when they introduced pay-gate ) but still there and others try copy better like #Couchers Couchers.org
(2) #HelpX description below - great from just the idea
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HelpX
HelpX or "Help Exchange" is a barter platform in which people offer or receive homestays, including lodging and food, in exchange for performing a pre-agreed few hours each day or even nothing but enjoying time together.
Types of work include gardening, animal welfare, cooking, and farming, assistant, extra pair of hands among other things.
NOTE: Couchsurfing for example can be just for fun allowing people to come for a few nights / keep us company / learn new things / show them around town / meet for drinks / arrange meetups and walks ETC!...
The Fediverse and World's human #quotes / #books / #videos / #talks / #websites and even your own stuff making it a better place FOR HUMANS. Not just computers.

Together talking we can do it (using DM is more private).
Separate and one-way public broadcast doesn't work against Capitalism.
YOU and I are imperfect - NO problem with that ! - This is the "Best we can do" ! Just get better at whatever I can give you!
☼ Freedom work (Free work for you) + #Friendship hopefully
