Protesters in Sri Lanka demanded that the government run by the Rajapaksa family resign... Now headlines read "Sri Lanka Prime Minister says he's willing to resign as protesters storm President's residence."

Tags: Sri Lankan protestors had courage, Mexican protestors against abortion rights had courage, America has cowards, easy times made weak people, people dont actually stand up for what is right they stand up for what the system says is legal, people dont think critically or independently anymore.

Shinzo Abe was a right wing nationalist and member of Nippon Kaigi -- a group that denies history -- including how Japan took Korean Women as prisoner in World War 2 and made them COMFORT WOMEN. It was officially sanctioned gang rape of Korean POW.

Tokyo was "mad" about this sculpture. As a sculptor and artist I find it has intensely profound meaning.

capitalism does not appreciate labor, literally or financially.

Capitalism appreciates capital. It does not value labor. It values the wood but not the carpenter.

Producerism appreciates producing. It values applying labor to capital to transform, like wood + carpentry = furniture. 

Capitalism encourages greed, selfishness.

Producerism encourages serving your fellow being.


it's a paradigm shift....

Dear W3C & Internet Browser Makers: the Iframe Sandbox default behavior should disable everything, including generic <a> links. Add an "allow-links" like how we "allow-forms" or "allow-scripts". The prior default behavior was fine it didnt open links

ROSA PARKS and ANITA HILL both warned us decades ago that Clarence Thomas is "problematic". HOW TF YOU IGNORE ROSA PARKS? Then I realized: the same way they ignored MLK's message of socioeconomic equality, all protests cuz Cops still killing ppl.

most people LEARN racism. it isn't "preinstalled" or hardcoded. Those people can unlearn it.

However, some people refuse to unlearn or change. Those people are like Nazis. They cannot or will not change or refuse to learn.

It's the same like how white women only now realize what POC have been saying now because of loss of Roe V. Wade.

These people have no empathy, they will only understand when they themselves experience pain directly. They ignore the pain of others. Are apathetic to it. They heard the screams of pain of the slaves and whipped them more. They find it arousing. Sadism.

There's a Guyanese saying that "Those who don't hear must feel." -- this is because colonizers normalized corporal punishment, even in schools by teachers.

Some people wield masochism as a weapon, a way to claim control in a room of malignant sexual energy to stop it from being a gang rape, by reversing what is pleasure and pain to gain dominance in a situation where they might have otherwise been outnumbered.

Some other people are freaks and pain and pleasure actually have neural cross talk, or a light smack in the right place in the right time is the perfect stimulus during intimacy...

The point is that these things still exist in nonracist people because of other reasons, however unless we understand humanity, we can never protect it, or ourselves from it.

You have to understand people and not assume they are all the same..

There's a universe inside of you.... and one inside everyone else. All this talk of metaverses and technology, but the truth is people don't value eachother.

So even if you're a person of color, the standards to interact with me are HIGH.

regardless of your melanin or lack thereof, if you're nice to me i'm nice to you if you're mean to me i'm mean to you.

so don't try to genocide or colonize me. i follow the golden rule and treat people the way they treat others.

FLINT MICHIGAN STILL DOES NOT HAVE CLEAN WATER. Republicans used the MI supreme court to throw out the charges against the former gov on some BS like the Roe v Wade overturn. Neolib Dems keep pushing "rule of law" but let Republicans control the law.

If our ancestors saw us today, they would see their children stuck in a colonizer system where they are given the illusion of freedom, via choice, meanwhile all the choices cost money, the antithesis of free.

They live in cognitive dissonance, Orwellian 'doublethink' pervades the society.

Everything is fake, the food, the money, even the women -- all of it, fake.

We need to preserve that which is real -- that which is authentic, and true. One cannot build a community based on a foundation of fakeness. Empathy requires authenticity. Stay Real.

Universal Basic Income? Zedtopia creates an opt-in UBI federal reserve system where we issue money directly to people instead of banks. Producers who provide necessities to consumers for the lowest cost will be rewarded in this free market economy...

Artwurx currently support using one's Zedtopia balance, for purchase.

After implementing on products, we will need to generate delivery quests as I am sure fedex and usps etc will ask for dollars. Thus by implementing a proper postage/delivery system or teaming up with any interested web 3 projects we can set up delivery coordination and tracking or some kind of exchange setup.

In doing so, user labor can function as mutual aid, and people can build real wealth, real shelther, buy real food, buy real clothes, etc.

Everyone has to provide a different need and everyone buys from eachother.

I believe it could be possible to setup an OPT-IN system on zedtopia, where people accept a token/zedtopia usd tether of some sort, where items priced in usd can be purchased within zedtopia. It wouldn't bill stripe or bitcoin, but rather would be a zedtopia account balance, perhaps with some web3 token.

This allows people to redeem those tokens for real artwurx, products, and services, and creates a robust internal economy. Building a circular economy allows for zedtopia to become a self sustaining community.

Once all the basic needs are met people can start building teams, companies, etc, hopefully having a chance to sort thru online and save everyone much headache.

Whoever dropped these is either lying or misinformed and doesn't have credible sources about Brett Kavanaugh's address. They put a park in the next town over. They want us to incur casualties of innocent people so we look bad. We have to fight clean. They include words like fighting to "overthrow the government" with their messaging so people can be entrapped into insurrectionism and anti-insurrection laws they put into place... Republicans use their crazies like chess pawns and sacrificed those pawns so they could get anti insurrection laws on the books after getting a court that would codify anything they want. This means Dems or the actual proletariat they claim to represent, can't uprise or fight back, at least in that way. No Miranda Rights read to you, overturning of basic human privacy... This is whim of the oppressor not law of our fellow humans.
