Sex workers are comrades.
Trans workers are comrades.
Poor disabled people are comrades, whether they can work or not.

@vcrqueenjen tho ofc the two of those go together

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

@vcrqueenjen Partly that, but also 1-2 centuries ago it was mostly rich women who wore nice dresses and such, and they often had a maid to help them dress. Working class women didn't often get to wear nice clothes. So, it's not just patriarchy but also class difference

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

@SenMarkKelly But yes, it’s true that it’s primarily about the US government taking Venezuelan oil reserves for their US corporate masters.

It’s no different than when Iraq invaded Kuwait trying to steal Kuwait’s oil and land. Bigger country robbing a smaller one.

@SenMarkKelly Trump is a brutal, illegitimate dictator. Maduro was elected by the Venezuela people. All of them, not just the rich professional, management, and landlord class.

@kananaskinyeti This but also the US never even had lockdowns. Having to get takeout instead of dining in is not a lockdown.

@_celia_bedelia_ “lower their IQ by as much as 20 points” lol they’re just pulling random things out of their arse

@JulianeWriter @Autistic_Lauren Even now in the US with government men in black (presumably ICE) disappearing people it’s somehow not blatant enough for some people to see the fascism.

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

@JulianeWriter @Autistic_Lauren Yes, a lot of people do need phenomena to be obvious and blatant to even agree that it exists, let alone begin to understand. The climate crisis, the covid pandemic (even tho in the beginning that was p blatant), trans people existing.

“Why do people hate AI?”

People don’t hate AI as a technology. They hate this version of it. They hate the blatantly exploitative setup where tech companies control everything and we have to beg to live in our own world. Where the only jobs we get are whatever ones big tech leaves us. Where whatever work we create sits on their servers. Where they claim the right to copy not just our output but the essence of the unique life experiences that produced it, which they can then package, and sell, leaving us with nothing.

Not just nothing. Less than nothing. They intend to sell us back our own creativity, filtered through brand-safe guardrails, all for a monthly subscription.

They want to lead us quietly by the nose into a world where all thought, writing, science, and art flows through them.

People hate AI because people aren’t stupid. They can see exactly what big tech is doing.

@PounceRelax @RndmStreetMedic That’s true, but another entire problem in itself. Hospital stays *shouldn’t* be harmful.

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

@Cartoons2012 @its_we11butrn @RndmStreetMedic Yeah thankfully at least that one isn’t so easy to get away with anymore.

Unpopular opinion that might ruffle feathers: parental ‘sacrifice’ is a myth. A child’s wellbeing is a parent’s responsibility, not a favour. Any sacrifice is yours to bear, not theirs to repay. Raise them fully cognizant of your challenges but know that it’s duty, not charity.

What’s really wild is how existing billionaires get taxed less than most hourly workers.

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

@and_kell @DrNeilStone It didn’t. It’s just more widely recognized now.

I’ve long thought that the whole MSG thing of the 90s ish was a ploy to distract people from actually harmful food additives. Obviously US society being racist helped spread it.

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

Reminder that the FDA classifies MSG under the same safety category as table salt and the 80s panic over it was purely motivated by the belief Chinese restaurants were serving poisoned food.

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

This, but with the exception of infertile women. They don’t care about developing the healthcare needed to let all infertile women who want a child to have one.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Misogyny in medicine is so extreme that we aren’t trusted to make the best decisions for our bodies.

We aren’t trusted to control our reproductive destiny.

Yet we ARE entrusted with bringing life into the world.

It makes no sense.

@US_FDA And just who is in “Gardenia Blue Interest Group” and how much did they pay for their “petition”?

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

@JohnnyRocket353 @KellyScaletta She doesn’t support any socialist policies. Socialist policies would be things like nationalize all utilities, require companies to be cooperatively worker owned, build public housing and give it to those who need it.

[Masked Witch 😷 🍉 ☮️🏡🥖 @SignyTheSage]

@JohnnyRocket353 @KellyScaletta The problem is she and Dems in general are not progressive enough to motivate all the working class people who don’t usually vote to turn out and do so.
