Break through that learned helplessness that Whiteness and capitalism has told you should be the status quo, making it easier for shit to slide!

Did you, the reader, imagine a single one of them was a woman? No, obviously you didnt. No one does, because these are not gender-neutral terms.

they dont like each otherrr ☝️

adding my own tags for context i didn’t want in the main body of the original

it's nice progress that labour is largely socialized and we're producing more through teamwork than we could as individual producers, but the ownership needs socializing too. a socialist society can guarantee work, housing, food, and healthcare, while a capitalist economy will only provide jobs when the shareholders can profit from them. nevermind that capitalism always needs some unemployment to keep wages down

those are just some common ones i’ve seen, so if there’s another, let me know :)

Extra credit if you provide your reasoning in the tags too ✅

It's basically "humans are the real disease" to conceal the fundamental inequalities and racism of the global economy

Hmm it’s almost like there’s supposed to be adult figures responsible for monitoring her screen time and making sure she develops properly… certainly this isn’t the result of neglect at the hands of her parents…

Translation: This 5 year old is developmentally impaired by neglectful parents who used an iPad as a stand-in for social and environmental stimulation / interaction for hours at a time during critical early stages of child development. The iPad is the cop-out.

When are people going to realize the iPads and whatnot are the instruments through which the neglect is happening through and not the cause? How the fuck do you let your child have such a severe lack of physical strength in their hands that they can’t hold a pencil properly?

It’s like saying a dog who was kept in a cage all its life and left with atrophied muscles was damaged by the cage, and not by the fact its owners were too lazy to play or walk their dog in order for its muscles to build properly. The cage is the instrument of neglect and the owners are the perpetrators, in the same way parents are the perpetrators and weaponizing screen time as an excuse and painting themselves as helpless bystanders.
