#Pecking Order

Been having this idea for a meme while rewatching DBZA. Finally took time to make the meme.

The State as an Enforcer of Unnatural and Oppressive Hierarchies

The modern state presents itself as a neutral arbiter of order, but in reality, its primary function is the enforcement of hierarchies that are neither natural nor necessary. These hierarchies—be they economic, racial, gendered, or social—are maintained through legal structures, policing, and coercion. The state’s legitimacy is upheld not by consent but by force, ensuring that the existing power structures remain intact.

While proponents of the state argue that it provides security and infrastructure, these benefits are secondary to its primary role: controlling populations in a way that benefits the ruling class. Historically, states have existed not to liberate people but to consolidate wealth and power among a select few. Any challenge to these hierarchies—whether through protest, alternative ways of organizing society, or radical thought—is met with repression, surveillance, and violence.

Thus, the state does not exist to serve its people. It exists to serve power.

Psychiatry as a Tool of Gaslighting and Social Control

Modern psychiatry, particularly when institutionalized within state structures, operates less as a system of care and more as a means of enforcing compliance. Instead of addressing the root causes of distress—economic precarity, alienation, systemic oppression—psychiatric institutions pathologize natural reactions to these conditions.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma are frequently framed as individual disorders rather than as responses to living under crushing systemic conditions. Instead of challenging the systems that produce suffering, psychiatry often demands that the individual adapt, whether through medication, therapy, or involuntary hospitalization. When people resist, they are labeled as ‘irrational’ or ‘delusional,’ further isolating them from any meaningful critique of their environment.

This is a form of gaslighting on an institutional scale:

You are not meant to recognize your suffering as political.

You are not meant to see your pain as a response to an unjust world.

You are meant to believe that you are broken—not the system that crushes you.

This does not mean that psychiatry is inherently without merit; rather, it highlights the danger of psychiatry when it functions as a tool of state control. The real solution to widespread mental suffering isn’t just individual treatment—it’s the destruction of the systems that necessitate it.

I got a little drunk the other day and was going back to get wood for a bonfire, but I got distracted by me birds. I was trying to peep the pecking order lol

From right to left we have Barb (bantam), Burr, Doc (brahmas) Rhu (bantam), Basil, Sage, Parsley, and Dill (easter eggers, who I'm 95% sure are all men and will be going to the bachelor pad soon)

I'm a little surprised that Sage and Parsley aren't the highest in the order because they seem more bold than Basil, although they could be putting him next to Rhu because he's a bit of a jerk. I'm not surprised that Burr is in charge with Doc and Barb on either side (my only confirmed ladies)

Once they start laying they're going to be slowly free ranged probably starting in the evening so they'll go back in without to much hunting them down needing to happen. Dill might become a house rooster because he's so sweet and it breaks my heart when he's bullied.

Anyways, this has been chicken hour with minnow, I'll probably post pictures of each bird soon so you can meet the gang :)

why must the resident mean cat take completely gratuitous swipes at me, when I'm also the only person here who knows how to play with her the way she likes (and the only one who'll engage for that long)??

I’m aware I’ll never be the favorite cousin, for as long as I will live. why? my older cousins are much more successful. my younger cousin is much more cute. pecking order hates me and so do I. I hate me too.

Question for Liberals

[willcodehtmlforfood]

"Occasionally, when easyJet is unduly optimistic about the number of “no-shows”, passengers have to be offloaded. The same applies when a flight experiences a “downgauge” to a smaller aircraft than originally planned.

In such cases, European air passengers’ rights rules require the airline to seek volunteers to travel on a later flight in return for a cash payment. If sufficient volunteers cannot be found, easyJet ground staff choose people to offload against their will – but make an exception for customers of the airline’s holiday offshoot."

i miss having wings. i mean with all the issues with sburb it was one of the few cool things i remember happening.

flying. i vividly remember dave being scared of heights, but, y’know, despite being past him or whatever, i wasn’t. we were honestly pretty different. well, not pretty, but… like, it wasn’t anything major. we still were both raised by bro, we still lived in texas, we still liked apple juice, and we still liked rapping and shit. but there were still little differences—i preferred to stay up later than him. i liked waking up earlier than him. he had shorter hair than me and wore black-tinted shades instead of red tinted ones.

i think i went by a different name later on, but i don’t know what. i was just a bit sick of always being called “the other dave”. technically yeah but it made me not really feel like a separate person. once sburb started in our tls we branched off (although i think there were still differences before that, albeit slight ones as i said before).

the name cassius kind of resonates with me but i dont know if that was it.
