I am impressed (and touched) by the how many are speaking out in defense of my work. Standing united against abuse is critical, and even more critical is to stop the genocide.
TOGETHER WE CAN.

It's kind of already known, I mean the flight logs and such are public, we've seen some lists before, and people who were not there will vehemently deny it and those denials won't fall apart under scrutiny.

The issue is not so much that the list is unreleased, but that the DoJ is unwilling to pursue prosecution of these people...

"En construisant leurs paradis, les ultrariches veulent échapper à toutes les lois et toutes les règles" - La Libre (libertarienne)


lalibre.be/debats/entretiens/2…

Article réservé aux abonnés, débloqué grâce à bypass paywalls clean

Jeff Bezos se marie dans un déluge de luxe à Venise, Ivanka Trump et son mari achètent une île: les ultrariches exhibent leur richesse sans complexes, en se fichant du sort de la planète. Décryptage de leur mode de fonctionnement avec Dahlia Namian, auteure de "La société de provocation".
Geneviève Simon
Publié le 13-07-2025 à 08h08

Quelque deux cents invités arrivés à Venise à bord de 95 jets privés et 9 yachts pour trois jours de fête : le récent mariage de Jeff Bezos, patron et fondateur d'Amazon, et de Lauren Sanchez, présentatrice télé, a été un étalage de richesse hors normes. Un an plus tôt, Ivanka Trump, la fille du président américain, et son mari s'offraient une île de la Méditerranée. Montant de la transaction : 1 milliard de dollars. Sociologue dont les travaux portent sur la pauvreté et l'exclusion, professeure à l'École de travail social de l'Université d'Ottawa, Dahlia Namian a publié en 2023 La société de provocation dans lequel elle pourfend la démesure et l'exhibitionnisme du 1 % de la population la plus riche de la planète. Elle y analyse aussi les diverses façons dont cette caste nuit à notre planète et à ses habitants.

Le récent mariage de Jeff Bezos a été jugé par certains d'autant plus indécent que son théâtre, Venise, est menacé par le dérèglement climatique. Qu'en avez-vous pensé ?

Ce mariage est effectivement un exemple de ce que j'ai appelé la société de provocation. Ce fut une démonstration, dans toute sa splendeur, de la démesure de la richesse, d'une porno-opulence qui est à son meilleur. On a vécu une démonstration de toute la domination symbolique, économique et culturelle de ce 1 % des plus riches de la planète. Jusqu'à récemment, ils cherchaient plutôt à cacher leur richesse, et leurs mariages se faisaient généralement dans la discrétion. Ce n'est plus du tout le cas : les puissants paradent, et c'est presque une parade militaire. Ce qui constitue un manifeste de l'impunité de la richesse. On est en train de célébrer une phase du capitalisme global qui outrepasse toutes les règles démocratiques. Et on voit là une élite qui a cessé de se justifier, d'essayer de convaincre, et qui dit "on se fout de ce que vous pensez". Peu importent les conséquences sur la planète.

Pendant ce temps, une partie des 99 autres % regarde, captivée. Qu'est-ce qui fascine chez ces ultra-riches ?

Je pense qu'aujourd'hui, on aime les regarder pour les critiquer. Au Québec, il y a une série d'émissions portant sur les hommes les plus riches, qui montrent tous les gadgets qu'ils aiment. On a ainsi vu la quarantaine de Ferrari que possède le magnat de l'immobilier Luc Poirier. Une autre série s'intéresse aux femmes de conjoints ultrariches. On sait que cela fascine, que cela booste l'audience et génère du clic sur le web. Mais je pense que cette fascination est nourrie par la colère. On entend tout de même un discours très critique envers cette oligarchie, surtout depuis la réélection de Donald Trump.

Votre livre emprunte son titre, "La société de provocation", à Romain Gary. Pourquoi ce choix ?

Je trouvais cette expression pertinente pour décrire cet ordre social qui permet, en toute impunité, au 1 % le mieux nanti de se livrer à toutes les formes de provocation, de décomplexer leur richesse, en érigeant leurs excès de consommation presque comme une vertu, en allant à l'encontre des règles élémentaires de la démocratie, au moment où la planète s'enflamme. La nouveauté, c'est qu'on a rarement rencontré aussi peu de résistance : toutes les tentatives concrètes pour freiner cette accumulation extrême de richesse n'aboutissent à rien. On l'a encore vu récemment au sommet du G7 : le seul dispositif de justice fiscale qui existait est tombé à l'eau. Le Canada s'est plié aux demandes de Trump concernant la taxe sur tous les services du style GAFAM. Dans l'Histoire, il y a toujours eu une caste de gens très riches qui concentraient beaucoup de pouvoir, mais la nouveauté c'est que, malgré leurs multiples provocations, il n'y a pas de volonté politique de les freiner. Un autre élément à relever est qu'ils sont plus résilients face aux crises. On l'a vu en 2008, lors de la crise économique mondiale, puis avec le Covid : ils ont perdu un peu d'argent au départ, mais ont très vite retrouvé leur niveau de richesse. Et depuis la pandémie, on constate qu'il progresse encore.

Dans un monde bouleversé par des catastrophes sociales et écologiques sans précédent, les ultrariches essaient de construire leurs propres paradis en empruntant les chemins de la mer.

Dans votre livre, vous évoquez notamment le business des yachts, qui n'a jamais été aussi florissant, avec des bateaux pouvant coûter jusqu'à 600 ou 700 millions de dollars. Selon vous, le superyacht est "le symbole d'une classe dominante et ouverte sur le monde". Une manière, aussi, de s'extraire de la société et de vivre dans sa bulle ?

Effectivement. L'exemple des yachts est parlant, mais on peut aussi parler de leur velléité de se retirer du monde en cherchant à créer des villes privées ou des espaces en mer, tout comme en colonisant l'espace et Mars. Les villes privées promettent aux élus du capitalisme l'éden dont ils rêvent : une espace qui échappe aux contraintes de l'État, avec ses infâmes lois fiscales, ses terribles lois du travail et ses ingrates règles environnementales et civiques. C'est une vision très libertaire où les riches pourraient vivre dans un entre-soi et échapper à toutes les lois et toutes les règles qui découlent des contraintes d'un vivre-ensemble démocratique. C'est assez clair chez Musk et ceux qui le suivent, dans la Silicon Valley ou ailleurs.

Il y a un an, Ivanka Trump a acheté une île albanaise d'exception, Sazan, en pleine Méditerranée. Son projet est d'y construire un complexe hôtelier de luxe, mais on peut aussi penser qu'elle s'offre un espace de repli, disponible en cas de besoin.

Dans un monde bouleversé par des catastrophes sociales et écologiques sans précédent, les ultrariches essaient de construire leurs propres paradis en empruntant les chemins de la mer. Ils cherchent à prendre la fuite et à se retirer du monde de diverses façons. J'écoutais il y a peu une journaliste de The Atlantic qui s'intéresse à eux. Elle expliquait que, pendant la pandémie, ce que les ultrariches avaient détesté plus que tout, c'est de ne plus pouvoir se déplacer. Rester chez eux était quelque chose de presque insupportable. Il existe un champ de la psychologie sociale qui s'intéresse au comportement des élites et qui a analysé le fait que, lorsque les mesures de restrictions liées au Covid sont tombées, le désir de n'en faire qu'à leur tête s'est encore amplifié. C'est un peu la preuve que l'argent achète tout, ce que l'on constate de plus en plus.

d4a just talked about the Ogle 100mpg carburetor youtube.com/watch?v=icprC7G_q8…

His argument is INCREDIBLY lacking. He basically says "yeah you can do that but it's not practical".

Here's my comment on the video:

Okay, I have to bring this up. Ogle's story, and your story, both have a problem. What is the thermal efficiency of a Ford Galaxy 500 that can do 100mpg?! Lets say it's a 10% efficient engine, which is a low-ball even for the 1970s, and lets say it gets 10mpg out of the factory. Just dumb back-of-the-napkin math says taking that engine to 100mpg is taking it to 100% efficiency.

Okay, maybe you don't like my dumb math, lets try it another way: We know what it's like to put a 40% efficient engine into a car like that, because of the good ol' TDI swap. You get about 30mpg. So you're saying he got to something more efficient than a TDI? How much more efficient? Is more than 60% efficiency even physically realistic? Lets say you have a 90% efficient engine, where are you getting the heat to warm up the fuel? That thing's going to run stone cold!

The problem with Ogle's carburetor is not that it "works but is unrealistic", the problem is that either Ogle is a fraud, or he tapped into some source of energy which he completely did not understand. If for example he was able to somehow trigger a small amount of hydrogen fusion during the combustion then all of the math easily works. But if we're just talking about more efficiently using the chemical energy in a gallon of gasoline, that's just not possible...

From 2019: On #WillemVanSpronsen’s Action against the #NorthwestDetentionCenter in #TacomaWashington

Including the Full Text of His Final Statement

2019-07-14

Excerpt: "On July 13, Willem Van Spronsen was killed by police while apparently taking action to disable the fleet of buses that serve the Northwest Detention Center, a private immigration detainment facility. His final statement, reproduced below, conveys that he was acting in response to the continuous raids and deportations carried out by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE). His action occurred on the one-year anniversary of a hunger strike inside the Northwest Detention Center and an encampment outside. You can read a list of other acts of resistance that have occurred inside the Northwest Detention Center here.

"We understand why Willem Van Spronsen decided to give his life to interrupt the violence that is perpetrated against undocumented people in the United States every day.

"It is not hyperbole to say that the #ICERaids are targeting our friends and neighbors, people who have lived and worked alongside us for years or even decades. The vulnerability of long-term undocumented people as a hyper-exploitable class has helped billionaires like #DonaldTrump to profit even more than they could have by legal means. To put the icing on the cake, #capitalists then turn to the other workers they are exploiting and tell them that the poverty and misfortunes they experience are the fault of those who are poorer and more oppressed than them. It’s hard to imagine a more cynical strategy.

"The disparity in rights between the documented and undocumented is a construct—just as the disparity in value that the #Nazis constructed between Jewish people and gentiles was a construct. Both are mere inventions; they have no intrinsic existence except as a means for a powerful group to justify violence against a less powerful group. Those who justify obedience to the law as a good in itself stand alongside the Nazis whose laws condemned millions to the death camps, not to mention the racists who passed the #FugitiveSlaveAct and the #JimCrowLaws in the American South.

"Laws are just constructs. They have no value in and of themselves. They often serve to legitimize injustice that people would otherwise take action to oppose.

"The further that the proponents of racist violence are permitted to legitimize invented concepts like slavery and citizenship, the more violence they will perpetrate—up to and including roundups, concentration camps, and mass extermination. We have seen this before, in Nazi Germany and elsewhere, and we are seeing it again today in the United States. The thousands of deaths that take place in the borderlands and the thousands murdered by police are just a foretaste of what is possible."

‘It’s too late’: David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost

ipolitics.ca/2025/07/02/its-to…

"We have failed to shift the narrative and we are still caught up in the same legal, economic and political systems," said David Suzuki in an exclusive interview with iPolitics. "For me, what we've got to do now is hunker down."
I’m not giving up on the immediate years, but the focus on politics, economics, and law are all destined to fail because they are based around humans. They’re designed to guide humans, but we’ve left out the foundation of our existence, which is nature, clean air, pure water, rich soil, food, and sunlight. That’s the foundation of the way we live and, when we construct legal, economic and political systems, they have to be built around protecting those very things, but they’re not.

Okay here is my very simple concept for a #FediCard - a "business card" that encourages people to join the #Fediverse and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.

My idea is that people can hand these out at #protests, political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.

The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social #Mastodon instance.

I will certainly try to apply my meagre #design skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.

(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in #SVG / #Inkscape format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)

#FediHelp

EDIT: The new folder for the FediCard is here:

kai.nl.tab.digital/s/fc9rHL6wx…

A simple design for a two-page business card. The front page shows the Fediverse logo, a QR code, and the text: "Join the Fediverse! The People's Social Media: No Ads No Algorithms No Surveillance" The back side has the text "joinfediverse.net"

@JoBlakely I definitely like this being a one-pager!

The biggest challenge here is that the site has been translated to over 20 languages, all manual work by volunteers, no machine or AI translation involved.

So as you can imagine the impact this has on content updates.

Still, let me give this a bit more thought and see how I can best implement some of this feedback.

#猫志 猫爱喝脚盆水以后，脚盆就变共用大水盆了。每次换水，A水碗B水碗C水碗D脚盆。
刚刚复水冻干，一小碗，掺开水等凉，猫闻了闻回脚盆了，我就跟过去帮他把盆斜起来喝。噼里啪啦的，蹲到我蹲不住为止。
收拾桌面，想称体重，称完还想称猫体重。猫叫了一声，回头看他一眼，坐得正正的，现在回想也没什么异样，但就是几步过去把他抱起来了，移到地上，猫毛毛的肚子在手里抽抽几下，哇啦吐了一滩清水和一丁点食糜。要漫到猫爪了，往后挪一点，猫又哇啦一小口清水。
拍了，留底。
擦地的时候，猫在凉席上老老实实地，我其实有点啼笑皆非的感觉。不过降温食欲影响是真大，凌晨碗里有40g粮左右，吐前还有剩半碗。
也没吐什么毛。很爱干净的短毛狸。猫草片应该还是有用的。
狸依旧走一路跟一路趴一路，蹲下搓一搓就响，手指插在他两爪两蹄之间抖着揉毛毛，他就放松地眯着眼享受。稍微蔫一点，没到要担心的程度。
地板干了以后又去刨刨嗅嗅那块地。一路刨到了猫碗前面，文文静静地开饭了。干粮撅了一小碗，撅冻干。中间怕他一下从空腹吃多了，把正在吃的碗端了起来，狸秩序井然，猫头直接伸到另一个碗里继续吃。行吧都给你吃 :0160:

🚨 Scam Alert: "Verify your Fedi account" Phishing Attempt 🚧

Attention everyone on Mastodon! There's a scam making the rounds where malicious actors impersonate moderators or admins. They send private messages or make posts that mimic notifications, claiming that your account needs verification. These messages often include a link for you to "complete the verification process."

⚠️ This is a Scam!

Your server admin will never ask you to click a link to verify your account.
No other admin from any other server will either, even if they appear to be part of the main Mastodon team.
If your account is suspended, you won't receive a message about it. Instead, you'll see a notification upon logging in that your account is temporarily suspended.

How to Identify the Scam:

Fake admin accounts often use names containing "moderator" or "admin," but this doesn't mean they are legitimate.
Legitimate admins or instance owners usually have a badge or marking on their profile indicating their role.

What to Do:

If you receive a message or post urging you to click a link to verify your account, report it immediately.

So.... help me understand this...

trump and Epstein were buddies
but they had bidding war over a property for sale
trump and his NPD traits does not like to lose
so he turned Epstein into the FBI
Then trump was made aware Epstein had evidence against him
so trump had Epstein disappeared

trump and Putin had a deal
Putin was desperate about Ukraine receiving so many weapons from Europe and threatened trump
trump thought it was Putin was blackmailing with all this Epstein stuff
so trump blames his own appointees about Ukraine not getting weapons to punish Putin

Zelenski has always been courteous to Israel, trump has not
And Israel is also desperate and trump had another argument

And more billionaires get desperate about the economic instability and argue with trump

So all the billionaires fight to destroy each other with power while civilians continue to die at an accelerated rate

But Epstein was "rescued" by future TFG admin people before he was arrested again.
There are levels of Kompromat that have a lot of people willing to fully turn against their country.
Who holds that incriminating info over so many heads? It's not TFG or Puta, though they obviously hold some.

C'est la même chose qu'à l'époque de l'émergence de la 3d réaliste. On faisait des test du même style.
Vu la rapidité d'évolution, je suis sûr que d'ici 2-3 ou 5 ans même le plus expérimenté se fera tromper. L'avantage des ados n'est que de courte durée je pense. Restera la jugeote pour nous guider.
Et bientôt l'idée viendra de faire des mondes virtuelles immersif (encore une fois) mais personnalisés et générés par IA.

As far as murders, those statistics are probably correct, because Bukele is fascinated with collecting that information, and the US kind of has to because ... guy isn't here anymore.

Stuff like pickpockets, begging, scams, etc. you don't know. However, since most of that stuff is organized, and any "non-violent organized crime" was almost certainly displaced by the murderous gangs that infested El Salvador before Bukele, one can imagine that SV is pretty devoid of any shady activity right at the moment.

Survivorship bias is when you make a conclusion but it's invalid because it doesn't recognize the skew of data caused by survivorship.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is an example of an error caused by survivorship bias, in reality, you might have been stronger already and what didn't kill you only demonstrated that you are stronger.

Lindy Effect is an application of survivorship, but not an erroneous one. The logic of Lindy is that things with good survivability last a long time. Things which HAVE lasted a long time have demonstrated survivability, so they obviously have it. Things which have not (yet) lasted a long time have not proven survivability, they might have it, but they likely don't.

A limitation of Lindy Effect is it does not work with things that have a fixed lifetime such as humans. A 2 year old is more likely to last another 20 years than a 90 year old, but that's only because humans have a built-in biological suicide clock.

Usury is a cornerstone of capitalism.
Before capitalism the church prevented Christians from charging interest on loans.

Private ownership of the means of production is a cornerstone of capitalism.
Before capitalism commons existed where regular people that don't own land could hunt forage and gather natural resources.

state enforced monopolies are a cornerstone of capitalism.
The monarchy and nobility were replaced with corporations.

Mediaeval peasants worked less hours each year than the average worker under capitalism does today.

Real capitalists accept this, you won't see them arguing in favour of capitalism.
They understand their wealth comes from exploiting society.

Only wage slave cucks will argue in favour of capitalism, the capitalists themselves are too busy enjoying their privilege to waste their time arguing.

<<EU and Mexico criticise Trump's proposed 30% tariff>>

Why criticize it? Why even care? I live in Europe and I don't give a flying fuck. If the US citizens want to be taxed extra it's their business. Dafuck, yo!
I mean, maybe increasing the price of BMW in the US will make the sales drop, but fuck Germany anyways. They deserve it for dropping off sand niggers in my backyard!

@cjd the way i see it, it doesn't affect me at all. I mean, it's not like people in the US buy Italian, French, Swiss or pretty much any other Europea imports because they're priced competitively. That's basically the expensive shit you buy because you want something boutique to flex. I mean, think about it. If you're buying 30+ bucks bottle of wine, you'll buy it all the same if it's 40 bucks.

Behind an obsession with body image, there can lie a deep narcissistic need for control and validation. Eating disorders may become an extension of this inner struggle: the body turns into a showcase, a tool of power, yet also a battlefield within. 🪞✨ Recognizing this can be the first step toward healing and self-compassion. #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealth #BodyImage #HealingJourney
