You can’t be a good anything and be a landlord
A good parasite?
You can’t be a good anything and be a landlord
A good parasite?
I am sooooo fucking sick and tired of people touting out that tired cliché to defend capitalists…
I think instead we should start saying “don’t let the manipulation by their benefactors stand in the way of the reality of the systems they maintain”.
I doubt anyone is expecting perfection at this point, I know I’m not (it being a literal impossibility and all), but them pretending to be “good” and you buying it, doesn’t actually make it any good at all (as I said - it’s just giving them the space to continue as they are for a fee that they will never pay, their trapped customers will).
Defending this bullshit as the good we should be happy to compromise for serves no one but the people running the oil companies (and the politicians they pay to ensure such legislation has no legs).
You are playing their game, and supporting their team, bathing in the placation of their greenwashing and letting them get away with it. That is what’s in the way of good.
So they can pay a relative pittance to keep chugging along uninterrupted, and pass the cost on to the consumer.
Yeah, that’ll fix things…
you’re always free to walk away.
Yeah, and die of starvation or exposure, which ever comes first…
Maybe take a look around at the reality most people face before giving such out of touch advice…
Fascism, brought to you by…
There is not a single afab person I know that doesn’t remember when they got their first period.
I could tell you not only how old I was, but where I was, about what time of day it was when I first found out, and how long it lasted.
This idea that women and girl’s memories and knowledge of our own bodies can’t be trusted is nothing but good old fashioned misogyny, and it’s this kind of bullshit assumption as a starting point that is one of a variety of reasons we get treated so much worse by medical professionals (and society in general, like when we get doubted and even blamed when we get sexually attacked or harassed).
Maybe instead of trying to pick holes in our experience, which you clearly know nothing about, just shut the fuck up and listen? You don’t always have to chip in, your ignorant opinion really isn’t that valuable…
If the government gave even a single shit about the poor, they would focus on banning wealth hoarding not wealth flaunting.
But they don’t, so they aren’t.
What they are doing is openly showing who they are and what they do care about (capitalists, on both counts), you not wanting to believe it is a different problem.
It’s not possible.
By design, of course.
For those who won’t look it up the takeaway is that when a massively popular, actually left leaning candidate makes it far enough in the race and poses a real threat to the establishment despite the hurdles it has already put in their way in the form of the media and state dictated education that sow hatred of anything remotely socialist, the media will then go in to overdrive to stop them from getting in to power by any means possible.
And it works. Again - because of a combination of no education for critical thinking against the establishment, and a media that serves it.
It’s one of the ways in which the system is rigged to always work in favour of the rich and powerful, and why elections are nothing but a charade (especially in a monarchy) - they will never let us have an equitable and just society that works for all of its members, they have too much to lose, and they would kill us all off in a blink if it protected their status (they already are). The time for fighting back in self defence is long overdue…
Letting the rich know people can get right up to them and mess with their shit is a good thig. Next time perhaps make it a removedtail party (just make sure no crew are around)…
My best guess would be because the chocolate cookies don’t contain any chocolate, but rather just cocoa powder.
Might be the photo, but it looks to me like top is vanilla cookie with choc-chip, while bottom is chocolate cookie with choc-chip, making it “double” chocolate.
Definitely could be clearer, but I don’t think they’re making the claim you think they are.
Those making the money off of our basic needs also own the politicians “working for the people” (via “lobbying”, aka bribery), so they essentially make the rules for themselves, and they don’t like “competition”, simple.
“Because I don’t experience a thing personally (or just have head up rectum), everyone who does is a liar!” 🙄
This is pretty specific to millenials in the USA
UK too at the very least, though I’m sure there are other places this applies, too (yes, uni used to be free here, but the cost has been steadily increasing, as has the necessity of a student loan to attend).
Don’t forget the burkini, as well as plain old surfing and diving clothes, both of which often come in full body coverage (as do professional swimming costumes, like for the Olympics).
So women might be expected to wear skimpy swimwear by society (mostly by and for creepy men like OP who like to control women and think we need to edit ourselves for their comfort), but that by no means equals having to.
Oh, won’t somebody think of the property! (the damage which was caused being miniscule in comparison to what’s to come with climate change)
Also, you’re talking a lot in this thread about what is “legal”, so just to remind you that the holocaust was legal, as was slavery, as were many other atrocities.
Basing your moral compass on what the ruling class has told you you are and aren’t allowed to do is such an uncritical, counterproductive, and honestly pathetic way to see the world, but to apply your own, now faulty, “morals” on to others makes you complicit, and in direct service of said ruling class. Well done.
And over 2 centuries of data tells us it will be one of the two.
As well as that the Overton window consistently moves to the right no matter which of the two it is (by design, of course, because as opposed to OP’s suggestion that the system is somehow “broken”, it is, in fact, working as intended), yet you continue to put all of your faith in to this charade, patting yourself on the back for voting for a fascism enabler like it’s some act of anti-fascism…
That twitchy eye… I feel you, little owlet! 😂😂
Exactly…
Victimhood is like an accessory to them, put it on when they need a little pity party, or to socialise some financial losses, but quickly take it off again the rest of the time and be free to enjoy their vast privilege.
Which is how they think actual oppression works, which explains shit like the idea of a “race card” and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps - they’ve genuinely convinced themselves that since their problems are mostly superficial and easily resolved (or buy your way out of), so are everyone else’s.
