The 1934 Epstein Files: The Business Plot, a high profile scandal and congressional investigation In 1933 a veteran, Butler, testified in Congress about a fascist plot to overthrow FDR's government and instate him It implicated many companies and billionaires of it's time

Billionaires and corporations have controlled the world's oil for 100 years and thus control the world Militaries run on oil. They're not about to give that up Green energy cannot be controlled easily, how do you prevent someone using the sun with solar

The richest man, Cornelius Vanderbilt, helped fund the civil war for the North But posted bail for Jefferson Davis, president of the South, after the war Billionaires are never good

"How do I get women to like me?" You don't. Figure out who likes you and who you like Why think you wouldn't be likeable? Or women don't have attraction? The sooner you respect women's autonomy, the more attractive you'll be

The scientific revolution began in 1600s before capitalism took over The scientific revolution and workers built the amazing things in this world, capitalism just captured it's value as profits for the few

We're either allowed to vote for whoever we want, or we don't have a democracy Weird how the same people yelling about citizens voting for democratic socialists, don't have the same smoke for people voting for fascists... They even support people doing that... That says everything you need to know

USA: Israel why have you bombed every part of Gaza? Israel: I learned it from you Dad The bombings, napalm, and chemicals dropped on Vietnam was massive, covering most of the country The USA bombing and napalming of North Korea was in totality of all buildings and infrastructure

Unemployment is a farce If someone working would benefit society more then not working, they should be employed. This is virtually true of everyone Scaring you with unemployment reduces wages and increases profits, that's the point

LLMs have huge connected language clouds. They're good at parsing and using language Translation is connecting words, phrases, and meaning to other languages. Yet we still have human translators... But somehow it's so supposed to take every other job?

Remember when Amazon said AI image recognition was so good they'd have stores you could just walk out of without checkout Well they abandoned that in 2024... The tech industry always overhypes, LLMs are no different

If you want Epstein's conspirators to be jailed, elect socialists Liberals and conservative have never held any billionaires accountable Not during the nuremberg trials for funding the Nazis during WW2, and not during the business plot for trying to overthrown FDR with a fascist government....

"An AI might become so powerful it'll pull the kill all humans lever" We already live in this world, the billionaire class is pulling the lever... Fueling climate change, funding fascism, and causing wars

We will never hold the Epstein conspirators accountable while capitalism exists The whole system is made to benefit billionaires and makes sure they are not held accountable for anything

Billionaires have never faced consequences, even in the robber barron era 100 years ago It is the system that created the Epstein class by never holding any of them accountable

We're headed for an AI software tech debt cliff. The idea being AI will get good enough to fix the mess eventually... The LLMs are improving linearly, not exponentially. It'll be humans cleaning up that mess

Capitalists must convince you that the property rights of billionaires are somehow the same you owning your toothbrush What is it you own? If you have a lone, the bank owns those things The police scramble to protect corporate assets, do they if your bike is stolen?

Free exchange seems like freedom... However for those with all the money it's more power for them They can purchase more capital/land, the government will protect their private property. Then they use gov power to create more "free" markets, allowing them to buy more power

Epstein got caught the second time because we found out about, not because of the justice system Epsteins are being created and defended by a system that benefits billionaires and gives them no consequences, it's working as intended

The geocentric solar system model had math for the for the underlying idea, the earth was the center of the universe Economists have math, that doesn't make their underlying ideas true We must study actual human behavior to know, like observing the actual solar system

The USSR went from a agrarian peasant society to an industrialized super power in 20 years. It doubled its literacy rate, eradicated most homelessness, and guaranteed employment by 1940 It immediately made the 48 hour work week, banned child labor, and workplace safety (20 years before the USA)

At it's peak it eradicated absolute poverty, had a 90% home ownership rate, free eduction at all levels, universal and free healthcare, great public transit, and affordable food and assistance

It was illegally dissolved months after the people voted to maintain it 77% ...with Shock therapy a disaster that took more than a decade to get back to where it was Was it perfect, no. It did terrible things too. But some of what you've heard is Nazi propaganda uncritically retold and exaggerated

It decriminalized homosexually. legalized abortion, gave women the right to vote, own property, and get divorced It killed 75% of the Nazis in WW2, most of the fighting happened in the Eastern Front. It rebuilt this hardest hit region after the war

What is the capitalist risking? If they lose their investment they just become a worker like everyone else The worker risks injury, not having enough wages to meet their needs, ending up on the street, and death What investor has died from a failed investment?
