having bad taste is a moral failing and is literally the same as murder

Instead of crass and discriminatory "jokes", I prefer to get my chuckles from wholesome humor, such as: "my god, the scrimbly blumbo!" Hahahaha! Really, there's no need for slurs and put-downs when comedy like "skcrunklo bonglo bingo" is available! I am racist as fuck though,

Saw the news about Venezuela. Two back to back earthquakes, that's terrifying.

Fascinating parallel here. This incapacity of the legal framework to protect groups who are at the intersection of two protected groups (trans women in this case, black women in the original) even while protecting both groups individually is Crenshaw's original reason for coining the word "intersectionality", which has since gone through the wringer.

also sorry i just don't find the trope of "woman who hates men learns to love men again because she met one really sweet dude" very compelling. at best i think it's boring and eye-rolling wish fulfillment for people who never got over their lesbian crush and at worst i think it's actively and purposefully misogynistic

ESPECIALLY when its meant to be "fluffy" like sorryyyyy i just don't think Woman Learns Her Place In Society is a very cutesy sweet trope

you can literally say whatever you want

My basic thing is "If your definition of capitalism could also describe the economy of ancient Sumeria, then it's not a good definition"

What economy should a good definition of capitalism describe?

The economy Marx describes in his writing: Industrial revolution era Britain. Characterized by the decline of artisan labor and the rise of mechanization, and the proletarianization of both the peasantry and the artisans over time.

What makes that economy a good description of capitalism?

It distinguishes it from previous iterations of class society with different primary features and different contradictions. The whole point is that it is important to define capitalism as something specific and historically contingent instead of opining vaguely about some suprahistorical "politics of greed" or what-have-you. The world we live in now exists in the way it does because of a number of objective historical contingencies and circumstances that can be dated back to the industrial revolution and which, crucially, can't be chalked up to vague notions like "human nature"
