This is also similar to what is happening in Congo. Congo is the largest source of natural resources used in batteries and other electronics/tech. They are run by slave labor, funded by the United States, Belgium, France, and the UK. (I know for a fact the United States and Belgium, I’m unsure about the other two but I am fairly confident. Please correct me if I am incorrect.)

For reference, the people of Congo have been in a state of dire straits for many years due to Belgian influence and ownership of their government along with the destruction of their internal affairs through external government’s influence. Currently the people of Congo work in mines, mining extremely dangerous resources. They are one of the world’s poorest countries despite providing some of the most lucrative and valuable resources in the world.

On top of this, people are going through what could be considered a genocide at the hands of their oppressors and have been for decades. Congo is considered the world capital for rape and sex crimes due to the way that their oppressors treat the women and young girls. It is not only common there, but it is specifically used for torture and punishment along with just happening commonly without consequences.

The state of Congo is not often publicized in western media, as western countries and corporations are those who gain the most through these conditions and labor. I highly suggest looking into the history of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and how these conditions evolved and why they are still in such horrible conditions today.

This video goes through the history of The Democratic Republic of Congo, but I still suggest studying further than just this documentary video essay into the topic. I also suggest specifically looking for African resources related to political affairs and developments over the decades relating to Congo, as they are less biased by the economic status of western nation’s relative to Congos politics.

People seem to think this is fake because it's written in English. Apart from the racism in believing that Arab doctors and nurses aren't fluent in English (a second or official language for half of Asia), Palestinians have deliberately been addressing their audience in English on every social media, from journalists to children, because they know speaking English to Westerners immediately makes people more human in their eyes. Because language is one of the ways the imperial cultural hegemony conditions us (yes, everyone in the world) to see who qualifies as "people" and who are simply a mass of bodies who were always made to suffer and die. Gazans know this deeply, which is why they have been using English to beg and plead through social media, "We're not numbers! We're not numbers! We're people like you, we speak your language, we deserve to live!" all the while they're systematically slaughtered.

Israeli forces also encircled Al Shifa Hospital yesterday and bombed it for several hours while shooting dead anyone trying to flee including medical staff moving between buildings. Not sure whether it's still continuing because WHO lost all communications with its staff there a few hours after. The last new report said that thirty-nine babies had been removed from the incubators before the power went out. It's extremely unlikely they will survive.

Please understand that these atrocities depend on the war of attrition between governments and public attention. The momentum of public outcry is difficult to sustain through repeated stonewalling and bureaucratic intractability. When we're flooded with these reports and a sense of futility and despair replaces the anger, it allows compassion fatigue to set in and the violence to become normalized. Massacring hospitals, killing sick children and openly targeting humanitarian aid workers (Netanyahu just declared the UNRWA is in league with Hamas) will become simply more news articles that fade into the background, and open genocides will soon become part of the "lesser evil".

Take care of yourselves how you can, take distance where needed, but please never tune out and give up on the two million people for whom we are the only witness and hope. Never stop boosting and sharing the news and posts you find, never stop getting out there and joining every protest you can, however small. Anger burns out, which is why activism must depend on an immovable sense of justice and uncompromising value for human life. It's not just about Gaza, it's about the kind of evil our generation will be coerced into accepting as unchangeable and inevitable hereafter.

Money is the root of all evil in our world. I know we've all been taught the complete opposite especially if you were raised in the US where capitalism is king but it's a lie. The free market is bullshit. And of course trickle down economics is basically the rich people pissing on everyone else and doesn't work.

Now if find any of this shocking or you feel like a cat that's been pet in wrong direction. Just take a deep breath and think for a minute or an hour or longer.

You'll come to understand almost every companies, corporation, country's and fuck church's bottom line is money. People don't stand a chance.

If you're live in the US answer me this question, how many of the places we all live in still look like it's 1995 up in that bitch? 🤚 I know the city I live in does, why is that you might ask... because the city council here doesn't want to spend the money on even basic infrastructure that would update the place. Let alone do any projects that would beautify the city. Now I love my city but it's sad it still looks so sad 23 years into the new millennium. That seems to a running theme in alot of the US.

Whenever that change in mind set from people mattering to money mattering more happened it destroyed our world. I think it's also huge factor in the environment crisis. When money is only thing people care about what does the planet we live on matter.

Now I know this may seem radical, well maybe not to y'all on Tumblr. I really do wish we could go back to the barter system and volunteering. Or how ever Star Trek does it. A system where money of any kind went away. For all kinds of reasons. But for me the biggest one is the wealth gap, 1% of world's population shouldn't have 99% of the wealth! People no matter their race, age, where we live, health or anything else should or shouldn't have a good quality of life based on the amount of money we do or do not have. Its insane to me, the older I've become the more insane it's become!

This idea of the American dream is bullshit, no one should have work their fingers to bone because that's what for most people "working hard" means to have a better life! It shouldn't have to be that fucking difficult.

So in conclusion... Money Is The Root Of All Evil!

I finally read a good article about Austen and eighteenth-century socioeconomics that gives rough approximations of eighteenth-century prices/incomes in modern (I think c. 2014) currency, but is appropriately emphatic about just how rough those approximations must always be given drastic differences in the economic worlds we live in. It's actually much more about the economics than Austen, and particularly about how much descriptions of "middling" incomes and what was affordable to people who had those incomes is still a conversation about a tiny, tiny elite in terms of the overall population at the time.

Austen-wise, though, the author also found room for a tangent in which he goes off on a scathing condemnation of Mr Bennet in socioeconomic terms, which I do love to see. Most baronets generally had land and incomes far closer to Mr Bennet's than Darcy's and yet Mr Bennet can't be bothered to even slightly provide for his children's futures beyond what was legally required by his marriage settlement (even the girls' meagre inheritances mostly come from Mrs Bennet's money rather than his). The author acknowledges the passage about Mr Bennet saving to counteract Mrs Bennet's extravagance and also how this is an indictment of Mr Bennet as well as Mrs Bennet, something that criticisms of him often skate past, and even points out how enthusiastic Mr Bennet is about the convenience of Darcy paying for it all in a way that can be read as funny and endearing, but also as distastefully shameless.

Anyway, it was nice to enjoy an academic text again, lol.
