oh brother

Does anybody remember when back in January Trump kidnapped the Venezuelan president? Well the American government proceeded to place someone else in charge and is directing them via text message. They are telling him who to appoint into office and allowing US businesses into the country.

They are "not looking to instate democratic elections at this time."

being allowed to vote for which representative will manage the system on behalf of powerful capitalist interests is a limited, narrow form of democracy, and is used to fool us into thinking that society is run by the mass of the population

For Day 4 (Values) of @mostly-mundane-atla's Kuspuk Week 2022! Inspired by the Respect for elders/Love for children Inupiaq values.

Which is why they didn’t care at all when, at age 13 in the mid-2000′s, I told them I was going to paint my walls with 6 foot tall murals of my favorite anime characters at the time.

Notice how they DID paint the room, but left my… Beautiful artwork in tact.

And a hidden treat in the corner…

This isn’t a drag against you this is a drag against apple, the company. Their products are price hiked to an insane, impossible degree. They aren’t selling you the product, they are selling you the superiority of being able to smugly say you have an iphone. 

They deliberately built up a culture of apple supremacy (especially as a class barrier but i aint even gonna go into that), and now people are making posts like “lmao android users have a bad camera” (they dont) or “lmao android users send bad snapchats” (the android version of snap is deliberately coded to force lower resolution images in order to, surprise, get people saying that exact thing to further encourage #iphoneculture)
