Mandy McEvery night at this retail store I've been working at the store is not properly reset or cleaned because there's 1/2 to 2/3 of the workforce they actually need. Every night the managers berate people and make it sound like we're a bunch of slackers. I'm quitting next week, thank God,. What nasty nonsense. All their workers are limping and covered in bruises. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a>

poison punkIf you have kids, like I have a 14yr old, how do you talk about the global situation with them?My kid is not watching news at all and is oblivious to the situation. They don't live with me, so we have little time to talk. They face more than one oppressive component in their life and I struggle to determine what I can do or educate them on to make them better prepared, resilient and radicalised without traumatising or harming them.I would appreciate your advice, from whoever parent reads this.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AnarchistParenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnarchistParenting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KidsInCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KidsInCare</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransKids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransKids</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransParents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransParents</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trauma</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychology</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CurrentAffairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CurrentAffairs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MentalHealth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Differability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Differability</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Trump’s erratic tariff actions, alongside his reversal of the former bipartisan policy on Ukraine, has already had indirect results. In alleged defense against the American turn, Europe and Canada have both donned the nationalist mantle of sovereignty and given Trump one of the main changes he has called for: an increase in their military expenditures so as to correct America’s disproportionate share of NATO’s military costs. Since American firms will also get a good share of the increased military expenditures abroad, the bloated US military-industrial complex will get a further boost.As well, it may be that the uncertainty created over access to the US market likewise has method in its madness: corporations may now bias future global investments and supply chains to locate in the US “just-in-case.” This is of general concern but hits home especially in Canada since it is so close, so already integrated, and with costs relatively comparable.Underlying all this lies the primary question at the core of Trump’s agenda. Paraphrased, it asks: “Why, if America is the world’s dominant power, does it accept such a disproportionate share of globalization’s burdens and receive such an unfair share of the benefits?” The framing of America’s status in these over-wrought terms adds a further method-in-madness: misdirection."<a href="https://socialistproject.ca/2025/04/man-who-would-be-king/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://socialistproject.ca/2025/04/man-who-would-be-king/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tariffs</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradeWar</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliticalEconomy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neoliberalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Protectionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protectionism</a>

BilliglarperJust curious: What do you consider the first <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/capitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalist</a> society? Generally, folks seem to think of the 19th century. Roughly when <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Industrialisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Industrialisation</a> moved the power to exploit people from "power by noble birth" (<a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Feudalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feudalism</a>) to "power by capital ownership" (<a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a>) on a large scale.
