Yep, worth reblogging everytime I see it.

Saw on the local news the other day how Salvation Army was struggling for donations during the pandemic and all I said was “Good.”

Benefiting from privilege is not like. A decision that ppl make, necessarily. A man who makes more money than a woman coworker most likely didn’t personally decide that would be the case. But he is getting paid more, because the system is geared in his favor. This isn’t a moral failing of his, that he has privilege over someone else. It is however, a moral failing of his to learn abt this and do nothing, or to willfully remain in ignorance for lack of caring for disadvantaged ppl. But stop taking it so personally when ppl point out that u benefit from the system in ways that hurt other ppl. Your reaction shouldnt be to get defensive, or to try and make yourself pitiable. Listen to the ppl who are at a disadvantage to you, help them in the ways that they ask you to help.

In related news, I cannot read the Little House series any longer without going “Oh wow this is real fucked up. I can’t believe this snapshot of the colonialism process as it happened is like such a feel good book for so many people. That’s fucked up.”

I’ve gotten no less than fourteen nasty messages about this post, four of them telling me to kill myself and stop ruining classic American literature with my “braindead r-word liberal agenda”, so I think it’s time to reblog it and restate this!

Alienation under Capitalism

No. YOU DON’T GET TO DO THIS AND SLIP UNDER THE RADAR. Anyone who’s seeing this, I beg you to reblog. I want as many people to see this shit as possible.

this is really true tho!!! my uncle was a cop in NY & FL and they taught him to shoot first if he had to. anytime a cop feels threatened (and they basically teach cops they’re always threatened) they can shoot. its rlly sick psychological torture shit to help create a police state tbh

Here’s a source from NY Times https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/us/training-officers-to-shoot-first-and-he-will-answer-questions-later.html

Also! Click here to contact his organization and remind him of the blood on his hands. These are his murders too, and everyone involved deserves to feel the weight of guilt.

nobody has been bullied for being a nerd since like 1990 and star wars and superheroes and video games have been mainstream to the point of oversaturation for like 20+ years now and adult man babies still have a persecution complex. may divorce be with you
