AOC’s Met Gala dress moment shares a bit in common with another memeable dress. A hundred years ago (read: 2015) the internet was divided over whether a dress, photographed in a shop, was blue and black or white and gold. We found out later that the dress was indeed blue and black, but it remained puzzling why so many thought it was white and gold. Turns out, much like AOC's “Tax the Rich” dress, one’s perception of the dress in the shop said a lot more about that person than it did about the garment.
Powerful essay on the foils to make the rich more accountable... If folks had listened to you, then perhaps like you and I see the dress as blue and black would have made more sense... I wonder who paid for AOC's ticket... Most tickets are actually bought by big business owners, media support, and or focus groups getting their message across, so they think... Only those deemed important enough were Met worthy if you weren't considered relevant you weren't invited... I feel it's time for the rich to show compassion for those less fortunate, when the last administration lied and said the middle class would be better off after the tax cuts of the rich, many rich folks agreed with those less fortunate and said they should be taxed higher, however, nobody gave the monies back and because we as a people never really rose up to confront what was happening, they got away with it... Complacency is just as bad... We let it happen... “Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.”- Albert Einstein
So, how many people even know about Modern Monetary Theory? How many people are intellectually equipped to understand it even in its simplest terms?
"The mechanisms of accumulation and exploitation that have created our unequal society" begin with knowledge, or the lack thereof. Is it a societal responsibility to make sure that everybody knows everything? Or are the masses inherently dependent on the few to know what's best?
first of all, great intro on how the eye sees what it figures it's gonna see. and when you lack context for seeing, things look wierd. like if you're in a boat surrounded by fog and there's a bird on a buoy somewhere near, it looks huge.... anyway, i'm very glad for this, and ready for part two which i know is coming because you've only told us what not to do and that's what you do. you haven't convinced me not to want to rip money away from the oligarchs but you weren't trying to. i think i see where you're going, we need to build a society of truly equal opportunity and all boats will be able to rise. but getting the money to do that? help me out...
