StarGazer Gets Political

I learned in my political science class that all major famines in the 20th century and onward have been caused by oppressive groups or political situations restricting access to food, NOT natural causes like crop failure

This is literally the point that Indian economist Amartya Sen made that won him the Nobel prize in economics. As a child, he survived one of the several Bengal famines that were organised by the British colonisers in India. He developed his theory on famines, which is that they were more about distribution of food rather than production or availability of it

I think this explains a lot of trans discourse on here, too. Well, a lot of queer culture generally. Realizing you’re personally trans doesn’t mean all the dumb gender stuff you were raised with goes “poof” and vanishes from your mind. Until you put in the work, you’ve still got all the old crap in there, it just has a big “but trans!” sticker slapped on it.

Please donate now. Hashim is extremely exhausted today. His voice was barely audible from fatigue and weakness, and I couldn't hide my fear as I watched him wither away before my eyes day by day. Please, don't leave Hashim to face this fate alone. 💔

Comparisons to 1930s Germany are actually entirely too flattering to Americans. Germany had just lost a war, been subjected to crushing reparations, and undergone economic collapse and hyper inflation, and even then, Hitler never won a majority of the vote. What the fuck is America's excuse?

#''Help I'm oppressed because people keep telling me their pronouns''#''Help a Black man became president and it hurt my unsupportable feelings of racial superiority''#''Help a barrista said 'Happy Holidays' to me instead of 'Merry Christmas'! Truly this is what Jesus suffered on the cross!''#most coddled people ever to exist in human history

now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense
