New technologies increase productivity, but you don't get a shorter work day. Lifespans increase, but the retirement age gets pushed back. Under capitalism, every advancement just leads to further exploitation.

you really have to listen to victims. it's this psycho army of the pedo elite that runs the world and the TI program. does what say really sound that off from what TIs are telling you??

SKINS doing open call auditions & giving working class kids a chance isn’t talked about enough!! without it we would’ve never gotten acting icons dev patel, jack o’connell, daniel kaluuya, kaya scodelario, nicholas hoult & jacob anderson!! more productions should take notes.

Jensen Huang publicly admits to infidelity following his affair, yet his wife is getting more hate than he is.
Misogyny has a remarkable way of making women answer for men's choices.

Politicians who casually traffic in blatant Islamophobia are not used to being challenged over it:

Worth remembering there was study that showed "traditional" men are far more misogynistic & hold trad wives with greater contempt.

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”

In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.

okay so let's have every school choose to block ai entirely and let's go analog again. teach kids how to properly research things with physical books and make them complete all of their schoolwork by hand. it has worked for literal millennia

This is what women are dealing with. Put out before commitment and you’re a slut, don’t put out by the third date and you’re a bad investment. Reminds me of when I dated Jeremy Piven. Five dates in and I wouldn’t sleep with him, he ended it, said I must not be that interested.

Moi je vais être cash hein; dire aux hommes qu’ils ne devraient pas assister à l’accouchement de leur femme parce qu’ils risqueraient de développer un dégoût sexuel, c’est tenir des propos qui alimentent la culture du viol.

Vous voyez littéralement les corps des femmes comme un corps fait pour votre plaisir au point que dès qu’ils fonctionnent pour la femme elle même, il devient dégoûtant. C’est exactement pour ça que les menstruations vous dégoûtent, alors qu’une femme qui saigne après un premier rapport vous dégoûte beaucoup moins.

Même logique avec l’accouchement; le vagin n’accueille plus la pénétration et il cesse donc d’être un objet de désir masculin et devient un canal pour donner naissance. Et soudain il faudrait détourner le regard parce qu’il ‘dégoûte’

Pour vous (lui et les hommes qui tiennent le même discours) les corps des femmes sont acceptables tant qu’ils vous servent sexuellement. Dès qu’ils fonctionnent pour la femme elle même en dehors de votre désir il devient repoussant.

You've got to be a real son of a bitch to do anti-abortion propaganda using the video of a poor woman who is explaining, utterly heartbroken, that she has to abort because the fetus has severe malformations.
