GOOD QUOTES
7.50 On behalf or people NOT with them

9.40 Fun 'white' interlude about privilege

10.50 How can I be a racist if I don't identify as a racist?

14.57 James Baldwin on the Dick Cavett Show saying "I don't know if they hate me, but I know I'm not in the [mentions the clubs] Unions, Schools we have to go to

15.35 Efficient system is racist as it's competitive and gets higher return that alternative like Ethics
... things go out of business or very high risk of going away if you don't use the existing system

17.41 Really similar goals have the anti-racist and supremacists

With Power comes Responsibility

HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY also involves taking power (and sharing it) but this is the part we perhaps need to refine and redo...

But also not many people want responsibility so it's not all the fault of POWER-hungry people.

I think this middle awkwardness of extremes needs to sorted so it's not just these two extremes:

1. POWER-HUNGRY / AUTHORITARIAN PEOPLE
|
The middle is awkward
|
2. SCARED OF POWER

....or 2's sub-points could be:
- not knowing how to balance power
- feeling others are more capable
- not wanting to learn
- no wanting to do it all you life / wanting to be able to pass it on to someone else

AGAINST CENSORSHIP? PROXIES:

Snowflake / TOR -
Allows people from all over the world to access censored websites and applications.

Iran and India facing even harder times.

LEARNING FROM OURSELVES
...BEFORE THEY LEARN FROM US

The race in life is between those that can learn the good ways and good developments and use them versus those that analyze and map the public movements in order to block them and their future progress, most in order to defend their 'business' (which is making a business from people).

It is something like
YOU / US / PUBLIC
VS. CORPORATIONS / GOVERNMENT

ARM YOUR MIND. THESE PEOPLE DON'T STOP AND THEY TAKE OVER AND TRY STEAMROLLER EVERYTHING.

2 types of people you can judge quite easily:

1st, the people who think you can balance money and people at the same time in the world without tragic and ethical problems now / later.

2nd, the people who think it's always going to be more problematic buying and selling people and Earth or to value people according to whatever the Bank think (and those types of people behind it) and thinks this is more useful in the world (creating more money and debt for people as greed for banks and it's agents / companies).
_______________________________
CONCLUSION
If you see the vibes of fellow Mastodon person (if they are more clever than Twits) AND THEY BELIEVE MONEY IS 'OK' / THEY BELIEVE IN BANKS

THEN do move on to more aligned and people ahead of blind beliefs in money / banks / government scams for more power of people, even if they give a piece of the pie to you or others- it's still not the right way)
_________________________________
FOR THE GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE....
I think it is life or death, as money is sucking over time more energy and using it for greed which is equal to death of all energy (planet and people's energy). It is EXACTLY the same as a dead body to drain and waste and make people suffer but making people run for more money towards greed with increasing limited options and enjoyment)

The component of money are ok, food, shelter, heat, working, sharing BUT NOT UNDER THE MONEY UMBRELLA OVER IT masquerading as all those component parts. We need to be able to do things without that parasitical element nullifying any good people do and making more debt instead.

MONEY HELPS DEBT INCREASE

MONEY is the 'help' to government and banks (to get more money) to make dependency more than fix life!

Money is also perfect to 'help' rot and emptying everything it has contact with with good old fashioned colonial extraction (of energy, of your time, everything) ! )

"Slovaks are buying for €500 ($479) what they sold for €100," said Eduard Heger.

(isn't that interesting but hits the typical balance of $ and people):

The soaring energy crisis has put Slovakia’s economy at risk of “collapse,” the country’s prime minister has said.

In an interview published by Financial Times on Wednesday, Eduard Heger said that Bratislava needs the EU's support or the crisis would kill its economy due to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Heger warned that he might need to nationalize the country’s power supplies if Brussels does not provide support.

His comments came after a deepening crisis in the energy sector due to the reselling of contracts by dealers.

Slovakia's largest energy supplier decided to sell off extra energy to traders at the beginning of 2022, and the dealers are currently reselling the contracts to Slovakia at prices around five times higher than the market, according to the Financial Times.

"Slovaks are buying for €500 ($479) what they sold for €100," said Heger. "The European Commission plan for a €140 billion windfall tax on power generators in the bloc would not work in Slovakia."

He added: "If we want to have a windfall tax, it must be European … The proceeds of an EU windfall tax should be distributed evenly around the EU which would net Slovakia about €1.5 billion."

Heger also said he wants the EU to release €5 billion of "unused regional development funds" that can be used to lower energy bills for businesses.

"Otherwise (Slovakian businesses) will be closing and could actually collapse the whole economy," Heger said.

His comments are the most direct yet from an EU leader regarding the soaring energy crisis in Europe after Russia significantly reduced the supply of natural gas to Europe in response to sanctions imposed on Moscow over its war on Ukraine.

SHORT POST ON LONG POSTS

Increasingly I think short _personal_ posts don't amount to much change or exploration between people... or short posts on other people's stuff also lacks a lot.

It works if there is already a level of understanding and progress made yes (including existing echo-chambers, computer-only stuff, people already awake or with similar conclusions).

But not enough edge there.

I'm not claiming long is best, just longer beats writing less or always short as it's much better towards improvement and change or many things.
