Apple's new "Crush" ad (let's call it "2024") is a visual & metaphorical bookend to the 1984 ad. 1984: Monochome, conformist, industrial world exploded by colourful, vibrant human 2024: Colourful, vibrant humanity is crushed by monochrome, conformist industrial press
Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.
It's amazing how things related to property seem to generate the most idiotic responses.
If only most people’s idea of Capitalism didn’t also involve a large amount of forcing people to pay rent to exist on land that has been there for billions of years- and can’t expand in supply as it wasn’t made by anyone
Most of the richest people are, or were, Normies. That's what's great about capitalism.
IF the west had capitalism, sure - it doesn’t. What it has a corporate feudalism to a very small handful of fucking billionaires whose job it is to allow a level of “success” to market the system that protects them and their wealth. The rules change whenever normies get to rich
A perfect 3 for 3 in being wrong.
Someone who realises it's more complex than that. 1) We need people to do lower paid jobs. 2) All of society helps in that wealth creation, but capitalism falsely attributes it to a few individuals at the top. 3) Markets aren't good for long term planning, or wide coordination.
The dip in the middle of this chart was caused by trying to take profit out of farming.
Based on responses to this, it's quite clear that many people don't understand how the UK State Pension works. So here's some important details: - It's collected from NI, not from taxes (there's a difference, I realise that's weird but it's how the UK works) - It's a benefit not…
The point of these posts is this: - overall the UK is not taxed very heavily - but a vast majority of tax is paid but a relatively small group - that relatively small group is constantly told they must pay more because that's "fair" - if the UK wants services and infrastructure…
Last Sunday I headed to Hounslow car boot sale after I received a tip-off it had become a carnival of criminality. And it was a parable of lawless Britain: Thousands of tools being sold at rock-bottom prices. The police nowhere to be seen. Many tools still had the names of…
You're... using Animal Farm to make a critique of... Capitalism? 😂

🚨 The Oxford Union has voted “overwhelmingly” in favour of a motion declaring Israel a greater “threat to regional stability” than Iran. Read more: telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/1…
Jevons' Paradox at work. Greater efficiencies enable newer and wider use cases.
Waymo isn’t replacing uber-drivers… it is replacing nannies + parent-chauffeur-job … and the impact is going to be way way bigger than people realize - especially in suburban upper-middle-class.
We need to really address the overwhelming self-hate in elite Western institutions. The West is going to self-immolate because we hate ourselves due to colonial history, while putting 3rd world countries on a pedestal.

At a certain point you realise that Capitalism is a system that allows you to be wealthy without reducing my opportunity to be wealthy. This happens because the system grows the pie. What a remarkable thing that is. What sort of psycho would oppose that?
My idea of individual abundance is more people earning more but paying less tax whilst still being net contributors. This is possible when state spending is focused on delivering value for things that the private sector isn't well-placed to offer. Instead we have a state which…
Anarcho-tyranny: Latest
Britain is one the most heavily surveilled countries in the world whilst simultaneously not able to identify thousands of vehicles illegally dumping waste next to one of the Oxfordshires busiest roads over a 5 year period. That heady mixture of bureaucratic overreach and…
It's impossible to argue with people who will not accept evidence. I should have seen the pronouns in bio as a sign.
James, I think the datasets behind it are bullshit. Specifically I think they place artificially low values in human life & health. They don’t place nearly enough weight on educational outcomes. & this study basically assumes the UK MoD doesn’t exist & add’s no value.
The worst thing about this is that you can bet Reeves thought she was being very clever by having Res Foundation push this in the media so the idea could be tested with the public. They are so catastrophically dumb they don't even know when they're being dumb.
Doing an exit tax is very dumb, but telling everyone that you’re doing one and then not doing it is a pretty close second.
Reminder that this "inequality expert" denounced Milei's program as doomed to failure while the other "inequality expert" Joe Stiglitz endorsed Hugo Chavez's program in Venezuela.
Today, I joined 500+ researchers from 70 countries in calling on world leaders to create an International Panel on Inequality modelled after the IPCC— as recommended by the G20 Committee on Inequality led by @JosephEStiglitz. Help us spread the call. 🔗wid.world/news-article/5…
This is the kind of shit the CCP pulls that has become prevalent in the West. It's not a good thing.
The thing about duties-based censorship regimes like the UK Online Safety Act is that everyone is potentially in violation of them all the time, so the regulator gets to pick and choose the least cooperative - or most politically desirable - targets for fines and penalties.
I can because they literally do. I'm sorry this confuses you.
Sorry, but the point was you cannot compare public sector productivity in the same way you do private sector productivity. You proceeded to show a graph directly comparing the two. The only disaster is your ability to read.
Sickening. Sex selective abortion has no place in Britain. If that means awkward questions for some then that is a price worth paying. In the cases of Sara Sharif, Axel Rudakubana, and the grooming gangs victims, young girls were not protected because services feared being…
