The World Cup has become the preserve of the scum, the rich, the cheats and the crooks. They don't even hide it anymore and why would they? A working class festival we loved is just one more wealth transfer now. Pod below. #WorldCup #Corruption #ClassDivide #Nocountrycodesfound.
If you didn't know better, you'd assume this headline meant the government is adopting a Melenchon style proposal for a 100% inheritance tax for anything over €12 million. Unsurprisingly they're actually doing the opposite and cutting tax for a tiny wealthy minority. #TaxPolicy #WealthInequality #InheritanceTax #FR
A new oligarchy has emerged in El Salvador, made up of President Nayib Bukele, his family, and a circle of officials from his inner circle who have exponentially increased their wealth https://t.co/gaemdSPATw via @el_ciudadano #ElSalvador #NayibBukele #Oligarchy #SV
Bret Weinstein said something that won’t leave my head: For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding. Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds. Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected. Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think. And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing. Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure? https://x.com/Bitcoin_Teddy/status/2077512782430486720

The debate about Putin's wealth asks the wrong question. Not: how much does he own? But: does he own anything at all — in any legally meaningful sense? Ownership without institutions is just possession. And possession is contingent on who comes next. ↓ https://open.substack.com/pub/nordicledger/p/what-you-own-when-you-own-nothing?r=mwsn6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
