She's a neoliberal economist (ie someone who lays down academic cover for the empire). She was the Federal Reserve chair under Obama and has been the Treasury Secretary under Biden.
Her earlier career included time at the Fed, during which she wrote a paper clearly stating the purpose of raising interest rates: to further oppress the working class.
What then, is the border policy of the EU if not "political violence." What then, is the policy of the EU vis a vis pro-Palestinian voices if not "political violence." What then, is the belligerent escalation of violence of the EU via a vis Russia if not "political violence"?
And what position does an unelected supranational executive official have anything to do with democracy?
It doesn't matter what the executive does. Both Trump's and Biden's terms have been incredible for the people behind the curtains, the deep state as it were (using the academic definition, not Trump's). So what if Trump says he doesn't want to enact Project 2025, the executive branch staff who actually control things will.
It is truly astonishing to consider how anyone could believe that Russians would rise up over frivolous matters like this.
It is on a logical level, but it's also so much like typical feel-good story which Germans tell themselves about the end of the DDR and reunification. The story goes that life sucked in the DDR because people didn't have frivolous material goods, so the people rebelled and were rewarded by reunifying with the west.
All of the points on your long list of objectively not red line actions are presidential, so of course they're fine. The only issue people have with Trump is his loud mouth, and I'm even starting to doubt that given the things Genocide Joe has said.
My employer has an average employee age of 45, and it feels like the people there are old as fuck.
The irony being that China has the tools to overcome a declining population, whereas the west is a goldbergian paperclip maximizer.
Would be a good comedy bit, much like the opening to Monty Python's Holy Grail.
As with every other "crisis" capitalism faces, the solution is simple: no more capitalism, no more crisis.
“A reduction in the share of workers can lead to labor shortages, which may raise the bargaining power of employees and lift wages — all of which is ultimately inflationary,” Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff, managing director at BlackRock, wrote in an analysis last year.
Yeah, fuck that babbling bourgeois bullshit. Fun fact though, after plague killed so many people in Europe, the surviving serfs (and their more immediate descendants) had an unprecedented level of power and agency over their living and working conditions.
Based hacking group. This kind of stuff puts "anonymous" and other cosplaying CIAnarchists to shame.
On a slight tangent I can't wait to pore through "secret" government documents after the revolution.
This more than anything else shows that it's a pathological obsession rather than an evidence and merit based approach. A perfect microcosm of liberalism if you will.
The "traditional" or nuclear family these conservatives want to protect is itself a recent invention. Before industrialization and capitalism families and communities looked quite different.
