Remember Who The Real Enemy Is

cool. another black child died in a hate crime

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

these days you can call the US an empire and nobody will bat an eye, but the way some people get worked up when you start talking about acts of US imperialism. empire doesn't just mean powerful lmao, it means you're exploiting foreign populations

usamerican soldier STUNNED into silence when he learns that his willing and paid participation in the murder and neocolonization of foreign people is a huge red flag to everyone with a conscience

positioning public libraries as the primary solution to restricted information access assumes that the country you live in has public libraries + those libraries have the funding to pay for the right to access global information databases, which is something that even colleges and universities in many parts of the world cannot afford. it's pretty common for libraries including university libraries in many countries to be unable to provide access to research databases, with students entirely reliant on shadow libraries for basic course materials. even attending a western university that has enough capital to fund imperialist wars and the war bank (ex. the many colleges and universities in toronto) you are not guaranteed full access to these databases and end up reliant on shadow libraries regardless because of how these capitalist educational institutions choose to spend their money. open access is the only real solution this issue

idk i always kind of roll my eyes at all those posts that are like “people used to be ugly in movies” like….. well☝️i don’t think that’s true. i think male actors have always had more leeway to look a bit imperfect. we’ve had average/weird looking male actors in every generation, including this one. but people have always needed to be “hot” for movies. and they did crazy shit for it!! marlene dietrich getting teeth extracted to hollow out her cheeks, carole lombard undergoing her (non-cosmetic) facial reconstruction without anesthesia because they thought it would look better, etc ad infinitum. do you know the kinds of diets they had women on to keep them skinny…. not to mention beauty standards for women of color tryna be in movies. like there’s a reason the three biggest black actresses of classic hollywood decades were josephine baker, lena horne, and dorothy dandridge: all pretty lightskinned with smaller mouths and noses -> approximating whiteness (no shade i love these women sm). i think the difference Today is that there are simply way more procedures you can get done since cosmetic medicine has evolved so much. so people can change more of their face with better and more reliable results than they could in the 1930s. point being that people have definitely always needed to be conventionally attractive to be in movies but given the physical scope of what could be conceivably changed about your appearance there was simply more diversity in like facial structure and features
