It’s remarkable that you can say Jurassic Park has “no big themes” when Jeff Goldblum looks directly into the camera and says, “Worship of technology with no limits or ethical restraints will be the ruin of humanity.”
going to a different country, setting up a private organization, taking over public spaces and then banning locals from it all is the pretty much colonialism
Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.
Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
They thought it was cute when she was talking about the environment, but the second she started talking about how it was tied to capitalism & imperialism they had to shut her down lmao
I have watched scenes like these my entire life. They would show it on TV when I was a kid in Israel. The demonic evil humanity must triumph over - and punish, heavily, the perpetrators, and those responsible and complicit. The day of judgement is coming
You share photos of women in hijab and say:
"Look how oppressed they are."
You never share photos of women holding their dead child in a bombed hospital and say:
"Look what my taxes did."
You are not worried about women’s rights.
You are worried about maintaining the illusion that your violence is somehow enlightened.
Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.
The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.
SERIOUS QUESTION: Now if capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive ?? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism ??
BREAKING: Israel Has Just Inflicted A Khan Younis Beach Massacre
Dozens of casualties amongst civilians who were targeted on the beach.
The Israelis are frustrated with their failures in Lebanon & Iran, so they are taking it out on the people of Gaza.
when we say “crime is a social construct”.
what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jaił for littering but a corporation can poıson the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jaił.
