Because of what's happening on Twitter...

I've made a little diagram to demonstrate why billionaires and the ultra-wealthy are bad for society.

(Text in Image)

"If we view society as a body, every sector is like a different organ within the body that serves a function and works in harmony with other organs to maintain balance. Every part of the body is important for the whole thing to function."

"The ultra-wealthy want you to believe they are the beating heart and thinking mind of the society – they are the innovators who create our jobs and their brilliance drives society forward. They deserve to be at the top of society because they have earned that. Without them, the body won’t function because they are the most important part."

"In reality, they are more like a malignant tumour, sucking all of the blood (resources) away from everything else (people and the planet) to fuel its own infinite growth, depriving the rest of the body and slowly killing it. Workers create all of the innovation and keep things running, the ultra-wealthy take all the credit."

Elon Musk has put the careers of thousands of small business owners who depend on Twitter (myself included) in jeopardy by completely running it into the ground. Before this, Mark Zuckerberg had already been doing the same when he started pursuing Metaverse, making Instagram and Facebook much more unusable for artists. Do I really need to go into other examples of CEOs and very normalised practise of wage theft?

Meanwhile, the UK currently has the richest Prime Minister in its history. What is this man doing with this wealth? Continuing the Tory legacy of austerity in order to line his pockets and the pockets of his crony friends. This has resulted in a devastating cost of living crisis that continues to ravage the country as people's energy bills skyrocket out of control.

My diagram is pretty basic and lacks nuance, there's definitely more I could elaborate on with this comparison but I really don't have time. I just want people to get the basic point of how billionaires view themselves vs what function they actually serve. I'm also not here to debate whether some organs are more important than others since I'm not a doctor, that's not really the point here. And no, I don't care if people think I'm being harsh by comparing billionaires to a tumour. If they don't want to be compared to one they should stop acting like one. Jeff Bezos could end world hunger right now and chooses not to.

Also, I know a lot of people are going to come at me with the argument that billionaires give away massive amounts of money. First off, people like Jeff Bezos only give large sums of money to charity a.) for the sake of improving their public image and b.) because giving to charity allows them to write it off in their taxes. Also, charities in of themselves have a lot of problems, but that's a blog post for another day. Mutual Aid is a better way to help people directly. Really, the ultra wealthy need to be taxed, of course they do everything within their power to avoid taxes.

Also:

"Earning a lot of money" and "holding onto a lot of money" are two different things. You cannot be a multi-millionaire unless you hold onto that money. If you give away massive chunks of it to enrich society, you cease to be a billionaire.

Oh and this is worth a watch, too.

Furthermore:

Also before the inevitable great man comments:

Being a billionaire is a moral failing. Nobody needs that much money.

[Slight edit here - I made the assertion that a billionaire could not spend all of their money in their lifetime, but as someone in the comments pointed out it's very easy for them to completely waste billions in no time. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have shown that].

Anyway, if you would like to see more anti-Capitalist art from me, I am currently working on a webcomic called "Flowerpunk" - a story about a group of anarchists who are trying to save the city of Wyrdon from a supernatural plague known as "the rot." The comic heavily discusses disaster Capitalism and how the rich will use mass death and destruction as an opportunity to further line their pockets.

I also like to do little anti-Capitalist doodles relating to this project, which I plan to make into posters at some point.

Please consider donating a Ko-Fi also if you would like to help support this project. I am really struggling at the moment because I've basically lost a massive chunk of my client base due to this Twitter implosion and also because of the AI BS that has made it impossible for me to get any reach nowadays. The last year or so has been an absolute nightmare for my career because of all of this.

Thank you all for your continued support! Hopefully I can re-establish my audience here on Tumblr and wherever else I decide to go.

Okay, but I hate HATE it when service workers (nurses, waiters, retail workers) complain about having to do "extra work" for the sake of disabled people. I get it, you're not paid enough to do jack shit at your job (/gen), but you really cannot take it out on people who are FUCKING DISABLED.

"I hate people who modify orders at a restaurant," "I hate when people don't put their carts away," "I hate having to prepare chemo drugs because it's SUCH a pain." Shut the fuck up. It's not MY choice!! I can't control that I get put in the ER for eating A Fruit. I can't help that I'm on the brink of collapse and can't take a cart back into the store after a big shop. And I sure as FUCK am not taking a chemo drug because I think it makes me more interesting as a person. Ya can't say this shit to disabled people.

Disabled people are CONSTANTLY thrown under the bus, CONSTANTLY treated like shit over things they need to do to survive, CONSTANTLY given the "well, if you can't meet MY [ableist] expectations of a Good Person, then you don't deserve to be a part of society to begin with."

Say that. Say that to my face. Just get a little closer I just wanna talk 🏌‍

a yet to be fleshed out scene from my ct lives au is more or less just ct going "I cannot believe I have to go on a mission with these 2 strangers whom I don't trust in the slightest because my former teammates mercilessly slaughtered all of my boyfriend's teammates so now his boss doesn't think he's qualified for field work anymore"

I don’t know if some of you got to experience it. But the first time you get new coworkers much younger than you, you realise you got a choice regarding how to deal with them and the age gap.

Are you going to be: A) the Rohan (catty mean old bitch, hates kids for no reason, would rather die than let them help, manipulates them, forces the smaller one to become a personal assistant), 

B) the Jotaro (plans new ways to scare the kids and not even as a prank, send them on suicide missions, ignores their cries for help, creepily stands in corners like this is The Blair Witch Project),

C) the Oldseph Joestar (cringe grandpa, 110.4% lame and owns it, gives bad advice, tries to make up for past mistakes, trusts and relies on the kids even when it’s madness to, adopts and nurtures every baby encountered, respects the fact not everybody has to like you, falls over a lot, wears winter clothes in summer, happy to be included)

Thermostat broke less than three years after it was installed. Just found out the warranty is only TWO years and it costs $850 to replace. :)

Recently I joked to people that somehow I managed to get through November-December without a major appliance or body part getting fucked up, for once.

Guess the universe was just running a little behind schedule!

So uh, if that really is the Memory TARDIS from Tales of the TARDIS in the latest teaser stuff for Doctor Who 2024 S1, then uh, does that mean Clyde saying Luke and Sanjay joined UNIT is canon to Doctor Who show...??? Because if so...

Please let that shit be from an alternate timeline- the Memory TARDIS is confirmed to be capable of pulling people from alternate timelines- there's still time to not make SJA characters of all characters pro-military-
