No. He was a pawn. Imperialism is not perpetrated by pawns. Imperialism had pawns from the people they subjugated too. I'm saying, focus your energy elsewhere if in fact he's defected already.

I am just observing a lot of people focused on a single pawn, while no one is watching the King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, or Rook.

Silicon Valley poked fun at the 'god complex' of the tech industry - did it well. It is funny cus' it's true. It is also constantly becoming less funny.

One of the key elements of the book Bullshit Jobs, is that many jobs are not Bullshit and essential.

Those jobs are the pillars of the economy. Just the jobs are not well paid and the workers not well appreciated.

"We're starting to recognize that the more directly your work benefits others, the less you're paid and worse you're treated. With the pandemic, we see that these 'essential' or 'front-line' workers are also those expected and willing to risk their lives for the sake of others, though, what is less often remarked is how much this is the case even in ordinary circumstances. Not only is work which most benefits others less compensated, it's almost always more dangerous."

Wow 😨 I had seen Francesca Albanese on the NPC while on my lunch break and had a high opinion of what it does from that. I suppose then that was not something they stand beside since they cancelled someone with this much integrity. Happy you guys got to meet him.

True. Steve Keen mentioned somewhere he is reaching out to labour and green type or anyone that will listen.

I'm happy to see some economists like Varoufakis, Steve Keen, Richard Murphy, Mark Blyth who question age old theories and what the mainstream has adopted

Marlin Rando @lamateurwrites.substack.com · 5d

Yanis Varoufakis is also an economist, but I suppose he was hardened by his experience being Greece's Finance Minister during the GFC. So an Economist who wrote a book titled Technofeudalism would break that mould. ...

It's perfectly respectable to state this point of view if one detaches all the politics from it. Also this

Now I have the words to express myself clearly before and after work

Susie Dent @susiedent.com · Sep 19

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.
