#Fuck Capitalism

[illusionremember]

I understand that it's not always possible for someone to leave their job. Because they have rent to pay and food to buy, because they'd lose their medical insurance, because they have people depending on them. But please. Please, if you are ill or injured or unsafe in this way. Do everything you can to leave this kind of environment. Work is not worth your life. If your boss won't give you medical leave, quit if you can. Start looking for a different job at minimum, even if you have to stay in the meantime. Your boss is not your friend. Your company is not your family. If this is what you are facing, you need to get out.

This is why "eat the rich" is not a violent statement. Rich people literally kill others for their own profits. Any violence against rich people who do this is self defense.

This is also one of the many reasons why there are zero good cops. The nicest cop in existence would arrest someone for stealing to survive but would not arrest these greedy employers for killing for profit.

If you take Trump's victory as an opportunity to hate on poor, uneducated Southerners, please take a moment to reevaluate your understanding of class struggles. The indoctrinated working class are just as much victims of this capitalist system as anyone else. Their lack of education is a systemic issue and our public school system is incredibly underfunded in the South, especially rural areas. Our curriculums are full of capitalist, American propaganda. Please do not blame the individual for being born in an area that does not have the resources to combat the overwhelming American exceptionalism. Do not blame the people who were never taught politics or their importance because they were too busy trying to make a living to survive. These people were never given the chance to develop an understanding of the economy and are barely hanging on with the cost of living as it is. Of course they're going to vote for someone who promises to reduce prices. I feel like people don't realize just how isolated some of these Southern communities are, and how difficult it is to break out of your bubble when you don't even realize there can be a different way of life. A lot of times people don't have the time to even consider those options, because once again, they are too busy working to survive. If your gut reaction is to blame the election results on working class Southerners and call them "trailer trash" and other derogatory terms, please consider the systemic issues rampant throughout the South. People are only operating under the circumstances they are born in. What will save us from this capitalist hell is class solidarity. Work on meeting people where they are at and helping them to understand the terrifying implications of a second Trump term. Talk about what directly affects THEM and how their lives could be improved with socialist principles. It's not easy, but it's a hell of a lot more productive than playing some neoliberal ass blame game.

Liberalism enables Fascism.

Can I get controversial for a second and say that it's really funny how many usamerican liberals seem to actually really really really want a one party state with show elections every few years but are too far up their own arse to realise that that's often what they're appearing to argue for

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.

Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!

Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!

Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!

Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!

If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!

Absolute degenerate LUNACY

Seriously, are y'all okay? Cuz you don't seem okay. Being complacent in your own demise is just weird. Maybe try reading some books and thinking outside the box once in a while. ✌

Using the bathroom in general is a human right and should be enshrined as such and I'm not joking. Too many groups of people are denied bathroom breaks or the use of bathrooms entirely--disabled people, blue-collar workers, children, homeless people, prisoners, students, the elderly. I'm surely missing other groups. Not using the bathroom when needed can cause serious, long-term damage, not to mention death. Free, clean, accessible bathrooms should be available everywhere. It's fucking cruel to deny someone the use of the bathroom, regardless of the reasoning. I'd rather every student in the world goof off and every homeless person make a mess and every worker "steal company time" than let one person suffer because they're denied the right to fucking pee in peace.

[a-sassy-bench]

do able-bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?

like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?

Yeah, education in the US is already so whitewashed and dumbed down, might as well just gut it apparently. 🤦‍♀️🙄

Rick Scott, human scrotum, asks incredulously, in the most bad faith way possible, 'why do we have the DOE?!' The gall.

You could explain to Rick, but he does not care. Like all Republicans out to destroy the public good delivered by the social safety net, Rick thinks defunding education is a funny game he gets to win.

Republicans want education to fail by cutting Federal funding. The cost will just get passed down to states. No improvement.

Here is your refesher on the DOE:

Florida conservatives are the worst.

vice news

ironically i am working right now so i can’t do a full post on this like i would really prefer to do… but these are the most cartoonishly evil people that you could possibly imagine, even in a society as flawed as the one we’ve built for ourselves. these are bedrock groups devoted to protecting the american worker and consumer. massive huge giant waving red flags 🚩

Personally I want to bite out their throats for bigger impact

BITE THE HAND THAT CAGES YOU ! ! !
