Brooke Binkowski: Idk maybe everyone with power should have listened to me before we got here but what do I know

Hey you know how I keep talking about a global far right power grab that's leveraging disinformation in order to harden borders and thus consolidate resources?

Well maybe you'll believe it from someone else

Idk maybe everyone with power should have listened to me before we got here but what do I know

‘The big story of the 21st century’: is this the most shocking documentary of the year?www.theguardian.com Six years in the making, jaw-dropping new film The Grab shows a secret scramble by governments and private firms to buy up global resources

they really should but i think the problem is that all the people in power are the ones you’re trying to warn us about

Yeah that's true. Not a lot of people not in power listened to me either tbh but bluesky did!!

I meant that as a compliment! Most people, including colleagues who went on to steal credit for all my work, would just pointedly ask me if I was working too hard

Bleaaaargh the patronizing

Right before they plagiarized all my shit too

🔪🔪🔪

yeah sorry i’m just not very good at stopping global conspiracies of the wealthy and powerful

Shit I hope that didn't sound passive aggressive. I meant it as complimentary, because most people couldn't even be fucking bothered. I've been gaslit by so many worthless colleagues, for example

Bluesky: Mostly powerless but good listeners

I'm all in, Brooke, but I'm not sure what skill set I have to offer? Lapsed Zumba?

That's the trouble with the rich & powerful these days. They just don't listen. Well, that and they use their money only to accrue more power. Well, okay, that and they use their power to accrue more wealth ... which they use to accrue more more more. So ... monopoly capitalism, basically.

That's why we need to eat them 🥰

Don't eat them. They are far too toxic. Compost them.

BBQ time.

Come the revolution.

It always was the trouble.

As a vegan, I’d have to politely decline such a meal. As an amateur humorist, I’d expect them to taste like ash and contain various lethal toxins (especially the ones at the top levels of corporations like those making CVS’s store-branded drugs that we just found out are laced with pesticides).

Our evil overlords know what's coming. That's why they're intentionally allowing a pandemic to spread & denying us healthcare. They want everything. Meanwhile, they're going to breakup ticket master. "there is not enough arable land on Earth for the projected increase of 2 billion people by 2050"

And we saw it so long ago- this story from 2018 talking about events in 2008 (which I taught to classes at Lehigh at the time) www.cadtm.org/The-Daewoo-M...

Of course that's just the climate-fueled rehash of what the Dutch East India Company did. Or United Fruit. Or Los Angeles Water and Power.

I have been seeing you say global far right power grab for years and years now. At least some of us are listening. Thank you.

Whether it's lithium, or fresh water, or oil, or the best cow & pig breeders, or information, resources are power. And the 21st century has saw the rise of power like never before.

Yeah and boy howdy has it sucked!

Had to find out what an avocado militia was after I read that. I knew they required a LOT of water. I won't buy them. (my Twit/X environmentalist friends are all hyped to see The Grab now. One of the things we talk about a lot is the rapidly growing water crisis) CIR: revealnews.org/podcast/the-...

The Great Arizona Water Grab - Revealrevealnews.org A surprising group of investors is fueling a global scramble for water in the most unlikely of places – the Arizona desert.

One of the scariest things I’ve read in a while and that’s saying something 😃

The inside of my head has been godawful for at least eight years

Ugh same!! And I’m worried we’ll look back on these as the good times

We can turn it around but we really gotta kick the shit out of the turds trying this

I was going to send this to you but then I figured 8554 other people already had
