Capitalism is a prison sentence.

That’s certainly a hot take on the cause of homelessness. If Republican policies were creating homelessness and pricing people out of housing, certainly you would expect that the states with high homelessness would all be red states.

But they aren’t.

The most solidly blue states all have, not just high homelessness, but are head and shoulders above all the other states.

All of these states lead the charge in all these social safety net programs. If this was a minimum wage issue, surely states like Mississippi and Alabama would be higher than California with their $16.90 minimum wage. A lot of the places where homelessness is a problem is also where drugs have been decriminalized, and open air drug markets have cropped up in those states.

And then imagine people saying “NO! You don’t deserve privacy, you don’t deserve your own life. Every waking moment of you life should be accounted for, weighted and analyzed. We are the ultimate arbiters of morality, and we will try and hurt and kill you if we find you ingesting the kind of plant that displeases us, or viewing the wrong media, or not viewing the right media, etc etc. All the world should be ours by virtue of our existence, and any attempt by you to enclose anything as your own will be taken as an act of aggresion that retroactively justifies our encroaching.”

And the latter think of themselves as the good guys.

And do you know why the Gadsden flag uses a rattlesnake? Because it’s the only snake that warns you when you get too close.

Whatever you think it used to mean, if its to associate with those kinds of assholes I want nothing to do with it.

Fuck fascists, Fuck authoritarians, Fuck Trumpster fire and cronies.

You: “Fuck fascists!”

Also you: “People don’t deserve human rights!”

Consider, the rattlesnake. Dangerous enough on it’s own, with only it’s natural abilities but effectively helpless when dealing with a threat specialized to handle it’s tricks. Not unlike how your average person’s own natural abilities are generally enough to survive day-to-day but when dealing with someone who specialized to prey on them (violent criminals, the government, etc) they’re pretty bloody useless. Throw some guns in the mix however…

Thinking we are better than other people

Relying on our own strength instead of God's

Letting the world's values shape our minds
