I'm following the saga of some guy who watched them bury a bunch of chickens at a small poultry farm and he's dug it up and is pulling out as many as he can for his deep freezer He dug down until he hit bird now he's in a race against time. It's frozen outside so he can just pitch them onto the ground for now but they've got to come up before they can be frozen like this. He's using two hay hooks to haul out bird carcasses and fling them out of the pit. It's messy work.

In China, money is a public utility. The state owns the Central Bank of China. In every Western country, the federal reserve and its equivalent are not owned by the state and exist solely to make sure commercial banks are healthy. They play an outsized role because no one understands what a bank does, and Wall Street keeps it that way.

When your central planners are the same people that want to introduce debt into your economy, and therefore own productive assets that your people create, it’s no surprise that the few people that go into banking end up making lucrative amounts of money, that on paper, looks like it’s generating wealth. All it’s doing is creating overhead and suffocation as all of those loans means that another person actually owes the bank something.

The only reason a revolution hasn’t already happened is because of nonsense terms like “inflation” being used to obfuscate the reality of how things are working but it boggles my mind that we live in probably the most extractive system ever invented since feudalism, well eclipsing the exploitation of classic industrial capitalism because atleast there, you could strike against your exploiters. Where to even begin striking at the banks? I really dislike the term quantitative easing, because it's another jargony word that Finance has used to make it seem like what they're doing is more complicated/esoteric than what it actually is. It might be easier to think about it in terms of "giving the banks money".

It might be helpful to think of the Western economies as centrally planned by the banks. When people talk about "free markets", this is ultimately just either an illusion or convention. In reality, what we have today is a very top down economy centered around banking, and the products of banking is...debt. Think about what a bank does - they literally generate debt via the form of loans.

This isn't well known, but nearly 97% of the money generated in a Western economy is generated out of thin air by banks.

What this means is that effectively ALL of the money in a neoliberal economy is created by commercial and private banks. But think about what a bank actually does - they have the ability to generate loans electronically to claim on top of an existing asset. Said another way, a banks role is to claim assets and introduce debt into an economy.

All of these debts then get securitized. This is more jargon to say that these debts then itself become revenue-generating assets, similar to a dividend. This is the primary way in which Wall Street allows these banks to offload these debts to get even more money beyond the interest generated by the loans.

Because these debts percolate throughout the economy in this way, interest rates are how this becomes centrally planned. Think about it in this way - because banks generate money (aka debt) out of nothing, they have an incentive to continue doing it. The way they stay solvent is by having a reserve available in case a certain percentage of their depositors suddenly withdraw everything at once. This percentage of actual money they need to keep on hand changes daily.

Further, because of deregulation introduced by neoliberalism, banks itself can turn their own debts into assets and invest in other debt-securities. The thing about debt is that they grow faster than real assets or even the real economy itself. This means that all of this bank debt that is created is naturally volatile, as they are claims onto something real, and that real thing does not grow as fast as debt does. Said another way, your ability to generate income from your job does not grow as fast as the debt of taking on a 500,000 loan, due to compounding interest.

Because neoliberalism does not view this as necessarily a problem, the economy is therefore "turbocharged" by the mass introduction of this debt, which as we saw earlier, is itself income by the banks both via interest and securitization.

In a neoliberal economy, the banks are the most important part and the central planners of the economy - this is in contrast to an industrial capital structure, such as pre-1970s America and China today, where the banks role is to fund a consumer-production economy.

In theory, banks supposedly introduce value into an economy by generating loans to productive endeavors, like businesses opening a new factory and employing people. This is how industrial capitalism works, and it what allowed capital intensive conglomerates, first starting with Edison and GE, and then later Ford, to scale from cottage industries to country defining entities.

In neoliberalism, this is not the case. Industry generates more money by investing into the stock market than it could ever hope to by employing people and opening up productive capacities for the simple reason that debt turbocharges asset growth due to its compounding abilities. Further, wage growth eats into bottom lines and net income, which was solved by offshoring - the massive explosion of GDP by neoliberal economies is to take advantage of low wages and equity growth.

Has anyone decoded his "women are obligated to procreate" thing with the fact that he's gay and fucking his wife not for pleasure but out of a duty and if he has to do that then women should have to endure that too

JD Vance is gay and dealing with that pathologically I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, is it not obvious that this man's entire psychological makeup is finding outlets for being a weird perverted creep

at the end of the day he's not a creep, he's crushingly normal, he's just a mediocre gay man splitting the atom to deny it

Here's the truth. 90% of the human population has caught a virus that destroys the brain, measurably, by volume, by cognitive tests, across the board. They're continuing to catch the virus. A mild infection shaves 7-13 IQ points. At a time of high complexity. What does this mean?

This means that we are definitely not on the precipice of some emergent uplifting of the human condition driven by interconnectedness combined with the higher, frontal lobe thought processes that would inspire voluntary lifestyle and philosophical change to sustainable mutualism.

I lied. You'll be getting updates and explanations.

I'm not posting here anymore for a number of reasons.

1. I have a stalker, who is incredibly determined. Their focus is identifying and hurting people *around* me, in order to weaken, discredit, and isolate me. This individual has created hundreds and hundreds of sock puppet accounts. Two of those sockpuppet accounts, out of hundreds and hundreds, managed to sneak by unnoticed, and two made it into two of our seven mega falcon-only group chats.

They then targeted and groomed three ppl.

Yo what the fuck this apartment manager just came up with crews in the dead of night and took all the doors off the apartments and then boarded everyone up inside their own apartments, Harvey, Illinois. What the shit They're taking movies all night of this

The residents are trying to figure out WTF

Beyond everything else, we must recognize the hyper-reality of our situtation, and that, at this point, reality itself is a mutable, mutual project, directed by a powerful few, and enacted by a cast of citizen-actors who take these directions and translate them into the kind Our job is to follow these trails of consequence, and own them. We must identify them, expose them, and refuse to participate. We will have to endure privation and significant lifestyle changes to control our habits of consumption. This will be good for our health and wellbeing.

I'm following 5,000 of you, with many more to go.

Why do I follow you, unfollow you, endlessly?

Why do I do what I do with followers?

Because we are on a platform with rules that I've been manipulating.

I've been attacking "networks" of people here with falcons.

I'll explain Every social media site has rules of engagement. They're invisible, and they shape the nature of our interactions here.

When working correctly, Twitter forms an ad-hoc "network" around clusters and sub clusters of people.

This depended once upon interaction history but now not.

What happened to those CDC monkeys that got fucked up in the tractor trailer accident

You are talking about man engine? You mocked man engine

I built it

Is there any doubt in your mind that the posting mind behind this account populated the content of /b/, posing as hundreds of chattering anonymous posters, simply because a single identity could not contain him?

I am the mind semen seed crystal of /b/

I wrote the top text. I launched chanology, I bagged Hal Turner, I am Martin Random, and I was doing it while shaking hands with Hillary Clinton and from the intranet of SDNY US Attorney's office. I was inside while handling the FBI fracases, not so secretly. I was authoring blog updates under my name

Offer to all of my new, patriotic followers:

I am willing to educate you all on the single, correct moral, political, ideological lens of our time. The very mold that stamps out the bricks of gold paving the path to heaven itself:

Not here to sell you, I'm here to tell you: Hearing it will sound your skull like the first bell of creation.

It will instantly tame the tumultuous waves of the dark and fathomless seas of your mind and turn them to throngs of worshippers destroying themselves in obeisance forever to an endless and undefeated shore:

I think business is gonna boom in Ukraine after we settle the borders or whatever. They'll make a shitload of wind turbine parts there for export all over Europe and the United States. Moscow is gonna pay for it with oil money. There's no way Russia can do anything but bleed. 🤷‍♀️ I haven't been following the war since April of last year, but I saw a headline that Biden won't send F-16's "yet" or whatever, and yeah, I think we can keep this shit up forever and they cannot. What we started in 1993 we will complete. World Bank wins. Always. Game over, Putin.

This album art, song title, and band name all align Oh shit yeah it's great this is a cool song I could d&d to this

Is this even a real band hahaha

What should the Junior League Ice Hockey jerseys cost?

My dream is to get us back to $13. $10 was too little. I'm currently developing alternative funding mechanisms to do it.

Ultimately I want to find a price point where unusual things start happening with them. You'll see. Hell yeah this is a clear mandate. I'll fix the pricing later today.

Letting the lower democratic party officials drink the poison water to show that it can be done is a tradition

If you see these people in the community making a show of drinking the water, just fucking leave.

They think you're dumb enough to drink poison if they drink some too. This is so a fucking Jim Jones test

He had them do this a whole bunch to prove their loyalty before finally dosing them

What you are supposed to do if you witness this behavior is take the opportunity to leave the island early

They're broadcasting what they're willing to do.

Hey guys. Sorry for disappearing. I got INCREDIBLY sick from eating a single shrimp. My lips got huge and now they're covered in bumps and all the skin is falling off. I'm better now it got so bad I had to stop driving and take a room for the night. Lol my lips hurt so fucking bad this is worse than braces

DIOXINS:

Don't eat anything that grows here

Don't drink the water

Don't burn any wood or vegetative matter

Don't eat any animals that were fed from or watered here

Don't live downstream from here

Don't take soil from here

The land is wasted forever once we do this to it We nuked the fucking Amish with forever chemicals

Dioxins are worse than a spill of radioactive particles, because dioxins, unlike nuclear fallout, will always find a way to re-concentrate in the food chain after being dispersed. Scattering them like this and burning them does nothing but hide evidence, make the spill REGIONAL The way people handle this generally is to contain and concentrate. If you do not, mother nature will find it and concentrate it for you. In higher and higher order animals. Once it is in you, the particles will be in you for life, causing cancer. Until you are eaten or burned.

They Chernobyled Ohio, they are very good at silencing people and blacking out the media, you need to be aware. Pennsylvania, you're fucked too. This will be a finger of God smearing cancer and death across multiple states, visible from space, a biblical blight and horror. It's weird that so many people are popping in to deny that this is happening or to repeat pr from the company that did this
