The "capitalism <-> socialism" opposition seems outdated. I prefer to think in terms of "centralization vs decentralization". Humans have evolved to perform best in small groups of less than 150 people. That's why wherever there's centralization and excessive hierarchy, there's inefficiency and underutilized human potential. Capitalist monopolies and socialist dictatorships are equally bad.
In a natural environment, every small community is able to produce an outstanding leader and an independent thinker. In today's world of trillion-dollar monopolies and bloated governments, the potential of hundreds of millions of people is suppressed by the limitations imposed by our artificial societal structures.
That is the reason why tens of thousands of people working at big corporations such as Facebook have failed to keep up with what our small team at Telegram has been implementing. That’s also the reason why countries like Russia fail to generate and retain global brands in their jurisdictions. Genuine creativity is rare in organizations and societies built on excessive hierarchies and lack of personal autonomy.

Waluigi is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Mario – the wholesome all Italian plumbing superman, you reflect him to create Luigi – the same thing but slightly less. You invert Mario to create Wario – Mario turned septic and libertarian – then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere man, without the other characters he reflects, inverts and parodies he has no reason to exist. Waluigi’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t – without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all Waluigi.

Pentagon Admits It Has Been Testing Wreckage From UFO Crashes
📡@G3News: THE Pentagon has admitted to holding and testing wreckage from UFO crashes in a bombshell Freedom of Information letter.
Researcher Anthony Bragalia wrote to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) requesting details of all UFO material, which they hold and results of any tests they had been carrying out on it.
He wrote: "This could include physical debris recovered by personnel of the Department of Defense as residue, flotsam, shot-off material or crashed material from UAPS [unidentified aerial phenomenon] or unidentified flying objects."
In the response, the DIA released 154 pages of test results that includes reports on a mysterious "memory" metal called Nitinol, which remembers its original shape when folded.
Bragalia said it was a "stunning admission" from the US government and the documents reveal that some of the retrieved debris possesses "extraordinary capabilities" including the potential to make things invisible or even slow down the speed of light.

We protect us.
Because community defense belongs to
everyone.

1. First of all, it completely invalidates their status as WPOC, and it contributes towards their oppression as a minority when compared to the rest of Europe. The majority of them are working class cooks in small business pizzerias, they're literally marginalized.
2. Here are some anti-italianx slurs you should try to avoid (TW: Uncensored)
- Mama mia
- Fredo
- Luigi
- Mario
- Mafia
- Pasta People
3. Please listen to the italianx community!!! This is really serious and people don't pay enough attention to it.
4. There's also a lot of phrases and gestures that people use as a joke but they're incredibly insensitive
"I cooka da pizza"
*Italianx cultural hand gesture*
"I eata da meatball"
Etc. Etc.

Biden Removes "We the People" Petitioning From White House Website
📡@G3News: It appears that the ‘We the People’ petition system has been taken off the White House website. Here is an archive of what it looked like before Biden took office.
The system has been around for many years. At any given time, hundreds of petitions were active. If you get 100,000 signatures, the White House is supposed to give an answer. You may remember that there was an active “Free Assange” petition that the Obama Administration was obligated to answer (and gave a bad answer).
When Trump took office, he briefly discontinued it but put it back up after a media uproar.
Now it appears the Biden White House has removed it.

Since it's only by random chance that I managed to escape a blackout in 20 below freezing weather, gas shutoffs, and frozen pipes, I'm going to talk about emergency heat.
A craft worth learning is an oil lamp. A wick of anything pure cotton dipped in a container of cooking oil works fine - once the wick is soaked there's a bit of fine tuning as to length, and it will need to be pulled longer and trimmed occasionally so I like to leave a good coil or two of the wick in the fuel.
