Fuck Shit Up

Aha, here’s the prog rock bards post I was looking for.

I’ve been thinking about this photo. The truth is that Africans don’t only go to jail for poaching (and I think anyone who poaches should be jailed tbh) they are also going to jail for hunting. Basically indigenous people hunting for food are being treated as poacher, while white people are allowed to hunt for fun on their ancestral land. Just read about what’s happening with the San people in Botswana. It’s outrageous.

The royal family of Dubai just “bought” a large tract of land for their own private trophy hunting purposes and thousands of Masai are going to be evicted from their ancestral lands. Foreign money is more important than native people or conservation, apparently.

The entire purpose of money is war, part #6984

Every day the elite are pissing me off more and more.

I use this scene to explain implicit bias to people. his first instinct is to assume the aliens are violent and the girl is innocent, but instead of acting on those assumptions he takes time to recognize his bias, look at the situation again, and then act. 

I watched this with my dad when I was fairly young, and I remember thinking that this was why he got chosen; before he even really knew what was going on, he didn’t assume that aliens were dangerous monsters.
