People getting poorer, reduced quality & standard, even length of life, yet continue voting for narrow interests of elite billionaires & against their own interests.
German media reporting Adidas will restart operations in Russia from Nov 1st.
Adidas has bemoaned lost profits from doing the humane thing, shutting down in Russia, therefore not sponsoring invasion, warcrimes & genocide by Russia.
Adidas have recently done a deal with Daher Group same group that facilitated re-opening of all the Russian ZARA stores. Russian ministries have boasted of Adidas returning.
everyone talks about
how the non-Amerindian people
of the USA
are illegal immigrants
and how ironic it is
that they want to kick out
what is essentially themselves,
but for some reason
the non-Neanderthal British
think they're legally allowed
to be in th UK.
End-stage capitalists & their toxic quest to take everything they shouldn't, pay nobody properly, increase obscene profits, continues... #AI#Creators#AIArt#Art#MastoArt
@ArtBear the problem is when you try to socialise and people start telling you that masks don't work, the pandemic was just a hoax by the left to "control us", and complaining about immigrants. I don't know how many conversations of this kind I've had. I've gone into inner lockdown.
"Stop The Boats" people, JFC they're tiresome but some of them can be reachable, some of the time.
It was people from Eton, who've been in charge for 13yrs, who stole all the money. It was not 'brown people' who haven't arrived in the country yet, whether via boat, plane, train or bloody space-hopper.
Thought my opinion couldn't be further lowered of shit-stirring, climate denying, russian roubles infested, covidiot, quackAnon, queer-bashing, misogyny & racism Neanderthal muck spreading fake news channel, kkKGBnews.
Yet as #UK covid enquiry hears how Blojo saw killing the vulnerable, immuno-compromised & (his voters) elderly as best option during his premiership, the worst UK "News" channel offers presenting job to lying sack of shite,
@ArtBear Kind of seems obvious when you consider the words "distress call". Why would an animal have developed a distress call if not for the possibility of it being acted on?
@ArtBear Ayn Rand was right (and wrong). Empathy is a mental illness that causes rats and humans to perceive others as extensions of themselves, and the suffering of others as their own. This mental illness is necessary for society to survive.
@FenTiger@ArtBear it's worse, people have used this behavior to devise more efficient rat traps. It works better than traps baited with food, apparently, but also feels much crueler.
@sinvega@sophieschmieg@FenTiger
Well, a billion times beyond that, the evidence would be much of our food production system. We don't look because we don't want to know. An alien without the cultural norm training from infancy might take an unbiased look at it and......
@ArtBear I just envisioned a world where every reader has read about Maurice and his rodents by, say, age 21. Including 50% reading it with good teachers that make them think about the book. #prachett
<Sigh>
Hopeful, much more hopeful for the world I would be.
@ArtBear Yeah, they clearly don't have it...
Neither do all these religious and nationalistic bastards full of resentment fighting each other for insignificant causes...
UK rivers, beaches and waterways are literally full of Tory crap.
13 years of Tory.
+Brexit, so they cannot be sued (more times) by the EU for their shitty (literally) environmental destruction & utilities profiteering.
Indeed fellow citizen ArtBear on Mastodon. Well said.

@andreaslindholm
Yes, it's a good point. The road ahead often goes through different terrain depending on many factors that are nothing to do with personal skills, effort, choices.
@ArtBear it could be the same guy, after climbing the Mountain falling from the top, thinking he made it in life but having to start over again. Make it just one image
@ArtBear is there a third panel depicting the guy on top of the mountain squatting and taking a dump on the head of the guy who just climbed out of the pit? That would be realism.
@ArtBear I backed a kickstarter of a small artist
No discount but I had my eye on one of the plushes 🤞
Hopefully it makes it here unscathed when time's up
@ArtBear
That would be good advice were it not for the fact that all the shop owners and sales staff within cycling distance of my abode are all complete arses.
-UK #PM#BorisJohnson was too busy divorcing the wife with cancer, in order to marry the latest pregnant mistress, to actually bother going to any pandemic emergency COBRA meetings-
@ArtBear Save yourself the effort and just say “Bullshit”. It puts them on the defensive and makes them have to explain things, to which you one again say, “Bullshit”.
