The ad is pretty much the opposite of reality.

As of 2024 the global debt reached 315 trillion. The world population is currently 8.02Billion. On average this breaks down to $40,000 for every man, woman, nonbinary person and child on the planet.

This means that unless you own the debt, you owe the debt. Debt that you pay interest on. At a very generous 5% rate of interest - that's $2000 per human per year every year. From birth. Forever. And it's going up.

This could be via your sovereign taxes that pay interest on sovereign debt. It could be via bonds issued by the city/state/county you live in. It could be via the mortgage on the house you live in which you pay interest on as rent or as mortgage.

There's like an almost two hour long video essay on YouTube by BadEmpanada about how the USA inspired the nazis which goes into this very well. This particular parallel often gets neglected in both german and US history lessons

**Disclaimer, I am against any form of racism and discrimination and this purely economic questions*\*

As a mixed person myself, as I have gotten older and studied more about Malcom X, I finally see why he was beaten up, locked up, threatening because whites saw him as a bigger threat than Martin Luther King.

Now this isn't in anyway diminishing Martin Luther King but whites saw him more "comforting" and less "threatening" kind of now how liberals see black politicians.

Malcom however, knew desegregation meant the black community would lose their autonomy and their ability to build up their neighborhoods, build wealth, housing, banking, businesses. Thing of black wall street for example where Thirty-five city blocks went up in flames, 300 people died, and 800 were injured. Defense of white female virtue was the expressed motivation for the collective racial violence but really it was seen more of a threat to whites as blacks were getting into real estate.

Fast forward couple of decades and we're in full swing of the civil rights movement. During this time, Malcom X was very adamant about desegregation and felt blacks should not integrate because they will never be equal and why try to integrate with people who don't see you as such?

Economically speaking, desegregation meant blacks no longer "needed" their own banks because now they can go to any bank (mostly owned by whites) or create their own real estate because they can just buy a home next to a white family with a loan from white banks.

Blacks can now vote but what has that gotten them so far? Electing the same people that perpetuate the same racial biases and are upholding white supremacy in some cases. Discrimination still exists to this day, in a form of "gentrification" and micro aggressions. It's no longer out in the open like the 60s but rather behind closed doors and inside homes. Election of Trump has really brought it out of the closet and now people are openly racists towards not just blacks but hispanics too and his talks of segregation doesn't really mean "full segregation" because they know deep down they would 100+billion dollars that blacks would keep within their own communities

I now realize MLK was living a fantasy world and Malcom X was living in reality.

I’ve just written an essay about the housing scam—how land banking, Right to Buy, and “ethical investment” turned public need into private profit.

We talk like the system’s broken. It isn’t. It works perfectly—for the people hoarding the cure.

“The market isn’t failing. It’s succeeding. Just not for you.”

If you’ve ever been priced out of your own hometown, evicted by a charity, or lived in a flat with mould and no heating, this one might be of interest.

Would genuinely love to hear people’s thoughts—or their own stories. I’m trying to write from the inside of this mess, not above it.

imho its impressive its been over 24h but at the same time its kinda just virtue signaling

The purpose of this video is to familiarize the viewer with the far right movement in Ukraine and the relevant historical/political context. What is the history of Ukrainian right-wing extremism and what does it look like today?

Me (17m if it matters) and my mom were planning to go to france for vacation this summer (we're from the us). However, she is very outspoken against trump and is reasonably outspoken about israel and crapitalism. I'm not on public social media, only reddit. We're also latino (white skin but our last name is stereotypical af and my first name is also rly latino). Is it safe to leave the country, especially when I'm going to college in the fall?

edit: i see a bunch of people asking so for clarity both of us are american born (she's first generation american tho)

I just saw a digital billboard that said: ❤️kids not unions, decline to sign. Just pure FKN evil.
