Actually, yes, at some point as an adult iIt is your responsibility to learn about history and politics outside of what you were taught in traditional k-12 education

one thing you should know about me is that i condone violence

this is not a joke to me btw. i genuinely support violence because no true liberation can be achieved without violence. you're a terrorist in eyes of state when you challenge a colonial power. as Malcolm X once said "You don't get freedom peacefully. Freedom is never safeguarded peacefully. Anyone who is depriving you of freedom isn't deserving of a peaceful approach by the ones who are being deprived of their freedom. The only way you can have peace is to eliminate those injustices and the American white man is not going to eliminate them, he's going to talk that pretty talk but he'll still continue to participate in those inhuman deeds." and when Kwame Ture said "In order for non-violence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none, has none." and when Martin Luther King Jr. said “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” and when Frantz Fanon said “Decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.” and when Subhas Chandra Bose said “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom.”

Inshallah they find him.

Sometimes homeless people will be off-putting and rude and demand more of your attention than you're comfortable giving. I promise you, if you had to deal with a fraction of what they do on a daily basis, you'd become off-putting too. Sit with your discomfort and direct your anger at the systems which made them homeless, not at the person in front of you who is struggling.

It is really hard to overstate how bad the USAs position in the Iran war is. Like. However bad you might think it is, it's worse.

We are losing the most expensive military equipment and installations ever built to 20k dollar drones. Every US base in the region destroyed. Every US radar and sensor in the area destroyed. We have to port in fucking India, increasing costs in a war that's directly affecting the price of fuel and tanking the economy back home. Entire populace galvanized against us by bombings that are unable to truly cripple the underground military production and capabilities. Absolutely no way to secure any of the contradictory military objectives without a protracted boots on the ground operation, that will embroil the US in a war that would make past insurgency wars look like a vacation. And again, with poor supply lines. More unpopular at the onset than even the lowest approvals of any previous wars, with a notably unpopular admin.

This is just off the top of my head too, like. I don't even know what to say. Country thats 0-4 against local farmers thinks it can start shit with a country that's been planning for the day the USA fucked with them for decades. Honestly hope this collapses the empire.

Truly such an act of stupid cruelty was always going to be the end to the evil that is the USAmerican empire.

vietnamese people, Iraqis, Yemenis, Afghans, etc are allowed to never forgive your soldiers regardless of how guilty they felt afterwards for destroying their beloved country and people you do know that right? None of your victims owe you their forgiveness for your peace of mind because they will never get it, they don't get to come back home with their loved ones, they don't get back those years of suffering and then having to affront the consequences of your government's invasion and rebuild everything brick by brick, they're allowed to be furious and mad at all of you forever

no amount of budgeting will make up for the fact that we simply do not make enough money

no amount of therapy will make up for the fact that we simply do not make enough money

no amount of working will make up for the fact that we simply do not make enough money

There are so many people that are pro disability rights until they find out disabilities can be gross sometimes. It's so wild seeing the same people advocating for more mental health talk losing their shit over a depressed person not brushing their teeth or cleaning their spaces, or people who totally support physically disabled people until they find out I once pissed in a cup because I was in too much agony to get out of my bed, or that sometimes cups and food sit in my room longer than they should because I physically can't get up to put them away. Disabled people sometimes have incontinence, disabled people sometimes have bad hygiene, and still deserve to be supported. It's so fucking performative and it pisses me off. Even other disabled people act like this. Shaming people for stuff they can't control doesn't help anyone, just makes you an insufferable person.
