1·2 days agoWhen you let them define you, that is already control. This isn’t about “reality”, it’s about social control.
If they tell you that “only bad people demand higher wages” and you accept their definition of bad people, we have a problem.

if we do it ourselves, they will accuse us of being what they say we are.
Stop being defined by fascists.
I know, but maybe it’s related to:
If you haven’t “accepted” the new prices, maybe you get this half-assed Premium.
Check if you still have premium?
You could try reading the article first.
We can’t use this emotionally inflammatory rhetoric, because it’s what the right thrives on.
The right will make up its own inflammatory fantasies if there are none, just like it makes up stories about immigrants eating pets. It happens either way. Stop letting them control your strategies, it’s EXTREMELY UNWISE.

In case anyone forgot from autumn 2023:
On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israelis were united in their fight against Hamas, whom he described as an enemy of incomparable cruelty. “They are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew. He then added: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”
As others quickly pointed out, God commands King Saul in the first Book of Samuel to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Israel. “This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Extracting rent can be seen as private taxation. He’s not a “career politician”, so I’m trying to understand how he’d see it from the private realm.
An entry fee, a toll, a tax, a rent - whatever. In the end, the cost will be added to the products going in. It’s not a usual tariff, but the outcome is the same. Maybe he thinks that this trickery helps avoid problems with “free trade” conventions.
It can be both. Lying is more convincing when it’s felt as truth by the liar.
One thing that fascinates me is that Trump’s definition of tariffs seems more like the definition of kickbacks.
As he was (is?) a landlord, he may also think of it as seeking rent, like how malls get rent from the stores inside.
this looks truthy

The Petite bourgeoisie. The service economy thrives on growth, these guys get wiped out every time. It just adds to the whole ridiculous setup of capitalism’s free market.
It’s the same class that the US saw on screen on January 6th.
