Right now.
Fuck MTW.
Fuck all the people in-charge who continue to sanction and encourage "patching potholes"
And if you have ever physically patched a hole on Barbados' roads on their behalf, fuck you too.
the united states is a continuous reminder that if people live too well for too long, they forget what barely surviving looks like. so much privilege in stupidity. so many people in so many places would give anything for our access to vaccines.
also, you are a bad mother if you don't vaccinate your children.
It's impossible to have a conversation around this but, if I were to try, it would be this:
People (esp young people) are furious at the diffusion of responsibility that our modern world represents. Bureaucracies, public & private, can do anything and no one is held responsible
I always sound like a conspiracy theorist when I say this but things are not built how they used to be, i.e., made to last, made to be functional, etc., because of capitalism.
the part that really get me too is the lengths [some] people will go to to justify predators like. a grown man..that consciously admits to serial statutory rape..is innocent? it was on the kids to tell him no, but not on him to idk,,, not be a pedophile??
There you go, Germany being sued in The Hague for complicity in genocide.
The truly puzzling thing is how they just can't seem to learn. I've seen so many Germans on here write "we're Germans, we know a thing or two about genocides and Gaza ain't one." As if Germans were somehow good at spotting genocides, instead of commiting them...
What Germans should retain from their history is that they're actually predisposed to either 1) being blind to atrocities or 2) cheering along when they're committed. As such when a suspected genocide is being committed somewhere, the right attitude should not be to immediately defend the alleged perpetrator but have the humbleness to recognize you're really not the best judge in these matters...
@yanisvaroufakis By this very metric then black people have the right to commit genocide all over the world and we shouldn't receive punishment or condemnation from it.
(If that sounds wild to you then you realize how ridiculous the claim is from French & German governments regarding Israel)
