April Fool!

 

 

          Come April 1st. (April Fools Day) millions of UK's ordinary people will be hit with massive increase in their energy bills, putting heating and cooking in the realms of luxuries. Meanwhile on the same day, April 1st. our Right Honourable MPs will be due to receive a salary increase of £2,000 taking their annual salary to £84,000, plus expenses and cheap meals in the Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption.

 

 
          On top of this rather handsome remuneration, lots of these Honourable Members take second and in some case third and fourth jobs. These other jobs, in some cases bring in more cash than you could hope to earn in your full time job. Our political class is a club for the pampered and privileged who enhance their personal wealth at our expense. Every penny spent on their luxury club is paid for by you and I, yet we let them administer poverty and hardship on us all. We should be asking ourselves, why is it that those we pay to administer our assets end up being much richer than us, while we continue struggle for a decent life.

 

         We have been accepting this charade for centuries and some how expecting a different outcome at each election, but nothing changes, they get richer we get poorer. They say that one of the signs of insanity is to keep doing the same thing but expecting a different result. Let's take a hard long look at how long we have been waiting for this system to delivery the better life for all, and admit that it has failed miserable at our expense.  April 1st., who is the fool?

Unacceptable.

         There is a lot of talk at the moment of the impending brutal attack coming down the line on the living standards of the ordinary people of this country, and rightly so. However what we should not forget is that the living standards in this country have been falling for quite some time. The system is merely accelerating the process at an ever increasing rate. A recent survey from Food Foundation comes up with some figures that tell a story of ever falling living standards in one of the richest countries in the world. Their figures show the extent to which this capitalist system is punishing the ordinary people. According to their findings, during January 2022, 4.7 million adults, 8.8% of the population, experienced food insecurity, that's up 20.5% from last July. The survey also found that according to a response from over 4,000 questioned, showed that 62% of households were struggling with higher food and energy costs. While 16% stated that they cut back on food to service other essential bills.   

 

 When times are hard, parasites play.

Billionaires double their wealth during pandemic.

 

         This is the state of the living conditions of millions of people in this country at the moment, and we are about to face a tsunami of vicious price increases in everything for food to energy to taxation. The bunch of privileged parasites that manage and administer this attack on us, will always display it in figures on a balance sheet, the economy and what the economy can afford. However the reality of this savage attack on living standards translates into ill health in our children, early deaths in our elderly and a stunted life for most.

       Meanwhile, energy companies are shovelling billions into the bank accounts of CEO and shareholders. This year BP's little profit earner was $12.9 billion and Shell's $19.3 billion. All of this will disappear into the pockets of the parasite class, to keep them in the luxury to which they believe they are entitled. While you and I can go to hell in a paper cart.

      Is this the system under which we wish to live, is this how we will treat our children and our grandparents, is this what we wish to pass on to future generations? Or will we finally stand up and take control of our lives and through community solidarity and mutual aid take action to finally destroy this system of insane economics that pampers the privileged few.

Shackled.

 

           What appears innocuous, friendly, convenient,and in common use, can in fact, often be like a shackle on your ankles. The surveillance cameras, "to help stop crime", to whose description of crime are we referring? Then there is the all encompassing Facebook, now Meta Platforms. Millions use its various tentacles, all the while their personal data is being stored, sifted, traded to various organisations all with control and the profit motive as its aim. Your world is being shaped for you, subtly and for other peoples interests. 

The following from Enough is Enough:

         We live in the age of the algorithm. Every day, our lives are mediated by forces that we cannot see and do not understand. Our actions, movements, decisions, and unconscious desires are monitored, recorded, and stripped down to lines of code. A vast trove of behavioural data is mined, primed, and manipulated on an individual level, producing billions of unique newsfeeds and different ways of experiencing reality.

         

         As one of the primary architects of this new social order, Facebook has dramatically re-shaped the world in its image. And with its recent rebranding as Meta Platforms and the official launch of the so-called Metaverse, Facebook has staked a claim to worlds not yet born.

        A collaboration by anarchist filmmakers subMedia, Antimídia, and Wind Born Films, The Social Empire is a forthcoming film about just what type of world that Facebook has created, and the implications for those of us fighting for new worlds of our own.

Coming summer 2022.
