capitalism dystopia, mh apology ~ super corny 

i feel it'd be crummy to leave it there, so uh there is something i tell myself when calming down a little bit, even though it's really corny

but i feel like it helps now and again to consider humanity as one big organism. Like "evil" sort of boils down to "hurting the collective," even if it's one member.

The fact that a human typically needs to make up a justification to do harm says we're deeper programmed to function together than to fall apart.

Yeah, I do agree with this but I do believe that a lot of leftist take this shit way too far. Where they believe that nobody can disagree with them because they are somehow way more enlightened than anybody else. I've always found that to be weird and creepy

A case of the white leftist 

Have you ever noticed any time someone says anything in solidarity with black people just white people run to do something like this. This is a white leftist doing this by the way. White leftist don't ever talk about Palestine until it's got something to do with them not caring about something because they said something positive about black people. By the way this is dangerously close to blood libel

BMI | Dieting Culture | FatPhobia 

Reminder that BMI is a bullshit standard invented by a white supremacist who thinks phrenology is real, and continues to be pushed because the people responsible for directing the weight standards with BMI are directors of diet clinics.

So remember, fatphobia isn't just wrong, it's fascist. It tears down your self esteem by dehumanizing you and then profits from the induced insecurity.

racism again (this stuff is my job, don't expect me to slow down), referencing events 

like okay i think i have this out of my system for the moment but uh like

no. no you don't get to enjoy being white. that's not how it works. the entire CONCEPT of being white was created as a superiority thing. WE did this. not anybody else. White people are the ones who decided that white meant "the domineering ethnicities." I mean, that's how races get homogenized and "turned white." that's the criteria.

uspol, police brutality against Black woman 

They’re actually claiming that driving 10 MPH over the limit is reason to deploy a spike strip and deliberately physically injure someone is custody. washingtonpost.com/nation/2021

This kind of crap only makes sense when you understand the point of policing as enforcing a racial caste system. She didn’t immediately submit to white authority, so they dispensed extrajudicial punishment to keep her in her place.

Tear down the whole rotten edifice.

Too many people still don't understand that you don't need to be a racist person or acting with malice to perpetuate racism and cause harm.

racism again (this stuff is my job, don't expect me to slow down), referencing events 

to define something as white history means to highlight the whiteness as an inextricable part of what occurred. Black history is often named as such because of various obstacles, not just civil rights

anything dubbed "white history" is going to BE the shit that white people moan about. whiteness being explicitly tied to that history means colonizing and exploitation being tied into those events.

"what about white history, i want to learn about that"

tired: all the other history people feed you is the white history

I wonder how much of our gdp is inflated due to rent seeking.

because selling a good product once and being done with it only gives you profit once. a support subscription lasts until it's cancelled.

KS gov vetos trans sports ban 

#Kansas gov Laura Kelly vetoes law banning #transgender women from women's sports teams, calling the legislation 'regressive' and sending a hostile message to families about Kansas. kmbc.com/article/kansas-gov-la

gender reveal parties have killed more people in the last year than letting trans women use the right bathroom ever will

i once hired a girl at my bakery who had no resume, but she did gift me a shiny rock she found on the ground while walking over for her interview, because she said i seemed like the kind of person that likes shiny rocks. she may have been the best employee i ever had.

You ever feel like it's not the update's fault and YT going "lets make our parent company's competitor seem incompetent?"

Autism Discourse | Hans Aspergers | Meta | Subtoot 

Really? You're really choosing this hill to die on? The person writing the article may not have the best of intentions, but is it really an excuse to continue using the term that promotes and validates the legacy of a nazi eugenicist who wants us all either converted forcibly to neurotypical behaviour or dead?

it is with a heavy heart that i must announce that this competitive dota player with a twitter account is racist

re: Birdsite Link | Fedi Meta 

They really need to just take the L and understand that people hating them is a natural consequence of them being unbearable shitstains and move on from that.

Trying to tear down DemoWeasel almost a year after the fact ain't going to make y'all look better. Get real and stop trying to harass furries lmao

Wow, this is just sad at this point. The scapegoat that was blamed as an excuse to shut down Snouts still lives rent free in the heads of the serial harassers and their enablers who orchestrated the collapse of Snouts.

sex-positive feminism, "choice feminism," whatever you want to call non-radfems (apparently they call us liberal feminists but this isn't the 70s, most of us don't subscribe to that branch in its entirety) is more about creating an environment where a real choice can be made. that's why there's more support for trans people, kinky people, sex workers, tearing down gender roles, and overall moving towards a less structured form of social categorization
