Last Notes npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov just #vote d npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov This powerful, hope-imparting 12-minute overview from #Maddow gave me back my foundation. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov #Project2025 is not some fever dream or conspiracy theory liberals have come up with. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov So [@GottaLaff](https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff) just coined #DefendantSleepyFlopSweatMcBrainSpurs for #TFG and I think we all have a civic duty to make that hashtag trend. So I humbly ask you to boost this message and use that hashtag as often as possible. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov Happy #BuddhasBirthday to all who celebrate. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov Horses for courses. I am pro-capitalism and she captures my position perfectly. CEO salaries are out of whack and we need legislation to fix it. Market won't fix that. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov Don't think I said that. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov More to the point, what if there were billionaires and/or millionaires NOW ACTIVELY ADVOCATING for a vision of capitalism that accepts "everyone on earth who is affected by your company's product/service delivery" as a "stakeholder"? npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov What do they imagine will happen once they start to "smash capitalism"? How will it be any different from what happened in the chaos of Russia in the '90s? Or the chaos of Germany in the late '20s and early '30s? Do they imagine these billionaires and their reactionary allies are just going to vanish while they design their new people-focused system? npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov I think idealism is great -- and a lot of people from that era haven't lost it, I like to think I haven't -- but we live in a dangerous time. Imagining psychopaths won't take advantage of earnest intentions is too big of a gamble for me. We need idealism tempered by pragmatism. This, as I see it, means gradualism, even in an era of profound climate crisis. Especially in such an era. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov Yeah, they remind me of the Wallace Democrats of the late '40s. "Stalin is cool. You should stop giving him static." Idealism all too easily manipulated by authoritarians. Putin LOVES these young "progressives." They are cool with chaos and so is he. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov I respect democracy and democratic institutions and I reject the use of violence to produce desired political concessions. npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov skipping the whole coup thing, whatever npub1dwl70d8dpr6l5ysppcvyrhzv2lqauq0yvaj9r6pz0ge5c69hvsaqrv43w8 Yusuf Toropov #Boeing is a case for nationalizing a big company, not for decommissioning capitalism in the US, which, by the way, would be a bloody, undemocratic, and irrevocably futile undertaking.
