Carney's financialization brought us Trump's fascism
[Carney represents and helped manifest the rules-based order that he admits was a lie (it never applied equally) and that he now mourns.]
[When we have been morphed by financialization into players within a cruel game of artificial scarcity, the feeling of being cheated out of the world we deserve becomes fuel for fascists to exploit in order to take control.]
[Capitalism produced (among others) a crisis of social reproduction that prevents a large portion of population from having enough material stability to start families. Fascists reframe this decline in population growth as caused by LGBTQ people attacking traditional family values.]
[Fascism today breaks with the anti-capitalism of Hitler and Mussolini to use markets as the arena to demonstrate strength and capacity to rule. Cronyism and bribes are common because they signal acceptance by the market.]

[When you move somewhere on your own, you might wonder if you'll ever "fit in" or feel at home. As long as you look honestly at yourself and your needs, be your truest form and give it generously to others, you'll find where you belong.]

If we knew as much about Haiti as we do about France, the world wouldn't be the way it is!
[Napoleon's bankruptcy from the Haitian revolution forced the sale of Louisiana territory to what we now call the United States; without this, it would be a third of the size today.]
[Stock offerings have historically been a way for the public to generate wealth by participating in a company's growth, but they can limit people's returns via IPO after decades of operation. Microsoft's price today is 750x from 1986. SpaceX's $1.8 trillion valuation after 24 years of operation is ninety-two times its yearly revenue, which means they would need to be eventually be worth over a quadrillion dollars to achieve similar returns.]
