Open post Pierreaussi @Pierreaussi@mamot.fr · 5mo ago Replying to @MidniteMikeWrites@zirk.us @mike @socketwench The thing that chodes like Peter Thiel don’t understand is that progress relies on innovations whose value can’t be captured. Whether it’s Newton or Einstein creating theories that lead to technologies they’ll never see (or patent), open source software, or hell the very language we’re using to express ourselves… Real progress is anti-rival, built on ideas that get better the more they’re shared. Something Thiel's winner-take-all capitalism cannot produce. @MidniteMikeWrites @mike @socketwench These “people” are just self-avowed predators, in other forms of societies, they would be mocked, kept contained, or ultimately banished…

Open post Pierreaussi @Pierreaussi@mamot.fr · 6mo ago Replying to @alberto_cottica@mastodon.green <p>Pitch perfect declaration by Zack Polanski, the new leader of UK Greens. Combat "rip-off Britain" of landlords and profiteers; ignore GDP as irrelevant; invest in public services; make life affordable; back the caring majority and not the wealthy minority. Even parried the "how will you pay for it, taxes or borrowing" question: "I am not an ideologue, we will do whatever works". Standing ovation.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>degrowth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>economics</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/18/zack-polanski-says-greens-would-ditch-gdp-targets-and-focus-on-wellbeing-instead?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/politics/2026/</span><span class="invisible">mar/18/zack-polanski-says-greens-would-ditch-gdp-targets-and-focus-on-wellbeing-instead?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other</span></a></p> @alberto_cottica I give it max a week before he is called an antisemite or vilified for other completely fabricated claims…
