I am ivantill pilled sometimes

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting.  Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.  Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.  Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.

Drained water from places suffering from drought for absolute pennies.

Made African mothers dependent on their milk formula, which they gave for free, until their milk dried up. Then they required them to purchase it, mothers could not afford it, mixed in too little to fulfill nutrient needs, and mixed it with polluted water. Children died.

Used slavery to produce their cocoa.

Pushed for water to be considered a “want” not a “need” and is at the forefront of arguments that water is not a human right.

Poisoned Chinese infants with melamine in their milk formula.

Demanded Ethiopia pay a debt owed to Nestle, during a FAMINE.

Price-fixed food items.

Contributed to deforestation for their cocoa farming.

The worst thing is, Nestle owns TONS of other brands, making it difficult to avoid for certain products.

and my personal favorite:

By existing as a citizen in and paying taxes to the imperial core, we automatically hold complicity in imperialist oppression because we are literally footing the bill for it. That is just the basic nature of being born to privilege in systems of oppression in general. We can be disadvantaged and marginalized in every single other consideration and we still have to understand and cope with this, and ensure we leverage it as effectively as possible.

It's so fair that you feel like no one cares, we live under media conglomerates that preach anger and fear non stop.

I promise you there are people out there working as hard as they can to change things, and to help each other, and even though they don't get the attention that the evil and the hatred gets they are real and they are out there!

Refusing to stop caring is an act of rebellion. I'm sorry the world is so fucked. Things are awful and I'm scared too, but I absolutely refuse to let them convince me that there's no hope.

There’s a trend currently circulating on Brazilian TikTok that deserves attention.

In these videos, creators stage romantic approaches, like asking someone out or proposing, followed by the caption “training in case she says no” or something similar. After that, they act out exaggerated reactions to rejection, often involving aggression such as punching objects, mimicking fights, or even simulating attacks with knives.

While some may frame this as humor, it does not exist in a vacuum. It reflects and reinforces a very real problem.

Brazil is currently facing record levels of gender-based violence. In 2025 alone, 1,470 women were killed in femicides, according to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the highest number ever recorded in the country, surpassing even the previous year. On average, that means four women were murdered every single day.

When rejection is portrayed as something that justifies anger or violence, even “as a joke,” it normalizes harmful behavior. It feeds into a culture where women’s autonomy is not respected and where saying “no” can be perceived as a provocation rather than a basic right.

This kind of “joke” is not harmless. It contributes to a broader environment that trivializes violence and, in some cases, can escalate into real-world harm.
