European and US oil majors have made record profits totalling more than €260 billion since the Russian invasion of Ukraine started in February 2022, according to NGO Global Witness.
British companies Shell and BP have made £75 billion in profits, a sum that could cover all the electricity bills of British households for 17 months, according to Global Witness.
....The five giant fossil fuel producers paid out an unprecedented $111 billion to their shareholders in 2023. This amount is equivalent to around 158 times what was pledged to nations vulnerable to climate change at COP28.
French oil giant TotalEnergies paid out €15 billion to shareholders, a sum that could have more than covered the €10 billion paid out by the French government to cover the damage caused by storms and droughts in 2022. #ecocide#ClimateCrisis#warmongers#WarProfiteering#warprofiteers#warpigs https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy-environment/news/big-oil-profits-top-e260bn-since-start-of-ukraine-war-report/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
"Ozzy Osbourne blasts Kanye West for using his song — In response to Ye using a sample of 'War Pigs' without permission, Osbourne made it known he wants no association."

"Kayne West ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF
"WAR PIG" FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE
HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY. HE WENT AHEAD AND
USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO
ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!"
America, we have 11 months to stop a dictator. Don't be fooled by the familiarity of the fool or by any soft-pedaling of the situation. Trump means us excessive harm.
Nobody in the Democratic Party, including Joe Biden, is perfect. We don't need that and we won’t get it. We need people that will stop this march to autocracy, misogyny, racism, and the deletion of our rights.
One chance, people.
Voters must take Trump seriously and literally. The stakes are that high. https://wapo.st/47EtCsV

No, I'm saying biden is about the same as trump because the differences between the two are so insignificant. Run a better candidate that actually makes a difference if you want votes. Don't make people choose between a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich with biodegradable packaging. #eattherich#warpigs#givepeoplesomethingtovotefor

Recently, Elon Musk made headlines when he allegedly refused to enable Starlink—a satellite internet service from SpaceX—to support a Ukrainian attack on Russia, thwarting military plans. Has one civilian's power grown too immense? With no elected position, military training, or official diplomatic role, his access and influence raise important concerns. When is 'enough' truly enough? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/elon-musk-spacex-starlink-ukraine

This is a dumb issue. If you don't want a capitalist to turn off their cool space toys that you need to do your war killing, maybe use your own space toys and don't rely on things you don't own. Or nationalize them. Or don't do war things. #capitalism#warpigs
