actually your english teachers forcing you to read the great gatsby in high school instead of the harry potter series or lord of the rings is how you stop being fascist
do not let the government fool you. they absolutely do owe you functioning systems, they owe you clean water, they owe you access to housing, they owe you opportunities to work, they owe you dignity. that’s within their constitutional mandate, that’s their purpose and their duty.
Picture this: women in parts of the U.S. are being arrested and jailed for miscarriages, a medical event they didn’t choose, didn’t cause, while not a single powerful man named in the Epstein files is sitting in a jail cell. Women’s bodies are surveilled, criminalized, and punished at their most vulnerable, yet men accused of exploiting and abusing children are shielded by wealth, influence, and silence. That’s not justice. That’s a system that polices women and protects predators. If this were really about “protecting life,” the priorities would look very different. Instead, what we’re watching is blatant misogyny and it’s disgusting.
ver niños muertos todos los días por un genocidio, millonarios pédofilos libres, violencia y barbarie por todos lados, y la apatía del mundo sí te descompone por dentro
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”
The problem is not the poor kid who gets $6 a day in food stamps.
The problem is the Walton family, worth $469 billion, & Jeff Bezos, worth $247 billion pay wages so low that their workers need food stamps.
The real welfare queens are the billionaires who pay starvation wages.
“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they’ll get a job”
First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.
Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work.
Third, no one should starve to death.
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
You're cheating yourself by not even putting in the effort. This is the scariest thing about AI: millions of students refusing to work, refusing to learn, zero curiosity, developing no knowledge or skills, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.
