Today in Labor History September 16, 1873: Ricardo Flores Magón was born. He was a revolutionary Mexican anarchist, founder of the Mexican Liberal Party, and major player in the Mexican revolution of 1910-1917. He was also a member of the anarchosyndicalist union, the IWW, and founding editor of the newspaper, Regeneracion. In the wake of the deadly Cananea Copper Strike, he organized a brigade of revolutionaries to avenge the deaths of striking workers. Later, during the Mexican Revolution, he helped lead an invasion of Baja California in which major cities, like Tijuana, were conquered. In the U.S., after the Revolution, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his opposition to World War I, and died in Leavenworth Prison in 1922.

no other way to put it but just greed
No. NOT a joke. Detestable Trumpian cop-out “JK” is BS…& potentially deadly.
“Hours after what the FBI called a 2nd attempted assassination of #Trump, Elon #Musk wrote on his social media site — and then deleted — a post suggesting it was odd that nobody had tried to kill President #Biden or Vice President Kamala #Harris.
Musk said the post on X had been intended as a joke.”

It even has a name; "Schrödinger's douchebag". Here Urban Dictionary:
Aaaaaand he thinks his little "joke" drew outrage bc of delivery and lack of context? Seriously?
2/ Via my old pal over at the hellsite,
Elizabeth de la Vega, former federal prosecutor:
In all seriousness, as a former federal prosecutor, I can tell you that a statement like Elon Musk's below DOES require an immediate visit by the U.S. Secret Service. That is the protocol in every similar situation.
That's all that's necessary. He's privileged. Not the rest of us.
Let's hope that visit happens soon.
Maybe Elon will finally realise that posting shit like that isn't funny. There are limits to freedom of speech.
That’s not even possible in every situation. The Secret Service would be chasing nuts down all day even with way more people than they have now.
People like Elon Musk and Kathy Griffin, who was very explicit, may get immediate visits (in Kathy’s case, I’m sure she did.) Musk they kind of have to treat with kid gloves because of his reach. Will they put a scare into him, step up surveillance? Of course they will.
With everyday Joes and Janes it’s about repetition and escalation.
What a boring job that would be.
I wonder why ….... No, don’t say that, that is not a joke.

What's a joke to your friends in the Nazi Bar is deadly serious outside it.
I trust the Secret Service is paying Mr Musk a visit today to discuss his open threat/speculation
Wer eine öffentlich, mit seiner Riesenreichweite gestellte Frage der Art "Warum wurde eigentlich auf XY noch kein Attentat verübt?" für einen Witz hält, ist ein asozialer Psychopath.
Er bräuchte sich doch nur mal vorzustellen, wie er es denn fände, wenn jemand mit großer Reichweite postete: warum wurde auf IHN eigentlich noch kein Attentat verübt?
Das fände er doch sicher nicht witzig! Ich glaube sogar, er würde gerichtlich gegen so einen Post vorgehen.
My friend’s response to anyone making that excuse is “oh…I missed the joke. Can you explain why it’s funny?”
Then to insist and accept no dodge. What’s the humor in that? Who’s laughing and why?
Works on racism, sexism, threats of violence…
Also, as a scientist I can assure you that N=2 isn't a big enough sample size to give a statistically significant result.
I'm assuming the FBI or USSS would knock on my door quickly if i posted something like this and a 'oh sorry just kidding' from me would NOT make it all go away
nationalize elon's companies, revoke his citizenship and DEPORT HIM
not kidding
*** you were notallowed to make jokes about assassinating people or hijacking planes.***

What is the end product of Business As Usual?
Climate breakdown, ecosystem collapse, historic droughts, out of control fires, torrential rains, devastating floods, and more.
That is the price WE pay for allowing billionaires to get richer every week.

What's very worrying about news articles about weather catastrophes, environmental disasters, massive property damage, and their death tolls; they very rarely blame the culprit...the fossil fuel industry
The globe didn't volunteer for destruction, the fossil fuel industry imposed it on us all
In response, the fossil fuel industry is funding fascist movements, instead of helping fix the mess they made.

Why not close this post with a link to one of the many astute solutions you have offered along the way?
In doing so, your posting will offer not only depression-loaded fact but also hope for treating the maladies.
@musictraveler
True enough but the other part of the story is that oil and gas giants are actively trying to influence public policy regarding environmental legislation to try to slow down or even stop pollution mitigation measures. This is well documented and is being done on a global scale.
They are not an honest neighborhood family business...
>do not lose sight of the fact that capitalists have pushed consumer demand onto the masses with incessant invasive advertising
----
While there maybe some truth to this, to accept this is to say our democracies can't work because with a little advertising and savvy marketing people will vote for whatever fool and any dumb shit, as the wool can be easily pulled over their eyes. Surely we have no evidence of that /s Why is it important to Kamala to raise billions of $ if what she has to sell is so good?
Snark aside, what is it you're trying to do? a kinder less aggressive more equitable, (presumably not to equitable) more sustainable civilisation ? All you're doing there is moving the privilege around because this entirely misses the point that nature doesnt care for philosophical orthodoxy, the only consideration has to be the laws of nature, everything else is failure with different words.
We cant even solve for the simplest of problems which shows why we can't sokve for climate change. People living homless on the street, no mpox vaccine in Africa, we cant even be assed solving that. 9 million a year die from starvation now, we could solve that next week but don't, another 9 million die from air polltion now, asshats driving cars causing this aren't going to stop, the "best" of them just transfer blame to the Exxon CEO, the rest don't give a shit, both keep engaging in their toxic behaviour.
@largess @musictraveler @sleepy62
That excuse rankles me as well, as I hear it from so many.
"But they make me be an over consumer!"
No.
No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you on an
endless spree of buying junk.
We all know by now advertising is bs propaganda, and all you have to do is get off that consumption train leading to our demise, literally.
