It's true, we shouldn't tolerate violence. Allowing people to suffer and die for the sake of profits is unacceptable and should never be tolerated.

"us versus them" is the biggest trap we invented for ourselves

We've got a new headteacher at my school so tdy we had no normal lessons just talking abt rules n shit and she gave a while ass speech abt how we're all from similar houses and areas similar backgrounds and w similar upbringings. Now that rly pissed me off bc ik for a fact that some kids in that hall have multiple houses and *according to them* have parents earning 6 figures. However there were also ppl there who live in council flats, can't afford food, live in poverty and some that have fucking fled Syria due to the war. There were also ppl there who have loving parents who'll support them and care for them yet ppl in that room will also come from abusive families which could have affected them deeply. Let's not pretend that just because children go to the same school they've had the same experiences and challenges in life mk. You don't get to erase their experiences just so you can say we all have equal opportunities in life and equal beginnings.

Even besides what feminism has done to further female liberation - it even has had massively positive impacts on child protection and labour laws (and much more) - of which many just came into existence at all solely because of feminist's work. By aiming to dismantle the very core and root cause of class hierarchy and power-imbalance in our society, feminism is the force of healing in this world. But of course, the cancer cells themselves try to tell you otherwise...

It's kind of refreshing to go back to the blunt honesty of 1800s slumlords and plantation owners, before all the rationalizations and obfuscations of liberal capitalism.

The whole idea of people being inherently lazy comes from them seeing that if people weren't working for them on their mines or farms or factories they were subsistence gardening and hunting.

"How dare those ingrates want to provide for themselves and be left alone instead of producing bulk goods to stimulate the economy! How can they see all these resources out there and not want to exploit them to depletion? Really, we need serfdom/slavery, these brainless animals need to be taught discipline."

In the grip of the upper class.

It is often asked whether Britain would be better off without nobility and a king. Great Britain is famous for its monarchy, castles and aristocrats. In reality, the country has a tough class society. In many areas, poverty is so extreme that people can either afford food or heating. Others reside in huge castles and decide on laws as aristocrats.

Why do the British put up with this?

The king of satire has consistently exhibited these characteristics, and there is no reason to believe that this will change.

Would they be better off without the aristocracy and the monarchy?

It is evident that this is not a viable proposition. The notion that those who are less fortunate in our society can manage with so much land is, at best, naive. What is required is a more nuanced approach that acknowledges the complexities of land ownership and management.

In a brazen display of arrogance, the Earl of Leicester has the audacity to claim that welfare recipients are lazy and deserve poverty while being interviewed on a vast estate.

It's always remarkable when people who have everything and haven't worked for it, but only maintain and increase it, believe they are high performance!

Oh yes, and that the rest are simply too lazy..... bloddy hell

A truly insightful documentary into a political influence system dominated by the classes, which continues to defend its privileged position to this day and will continue to do so in the future.

Too bad that this is only in German

Ascension to the upper class is rather rare, but then you are one of us.

As one of the richest families in the UK, exempt from inheritance tax on property and having amassed large collections of art and jewellery over the centuries, the Windsors are known for being extremely secretive when it comes to financial matters. The process was apparently used to change a transparency law in the 1970s so that the Queen did not have to disclose her private assets.

It is unlikely that a person of modest means who has made a considerable fortune by selling unapproved cocaine derivatives to the idle upper classes and bankers will be able to retain their assets in the form of privacy.

It should be noted that this text was written at the behest of communist shareholders of the underground movement. The intention is to establish a new nobility, rather than to perpetuate the existing order. This is the genuine sentiment of the authors.

Also I cannot express how much I love job systems in games, does anyone know any good games with versatile job systems? The most I know is Final Fantasy, Octopath Traveler, Fantasy Life and I suppose Fire Emblem

Oh and I guess Miitopia as well

Duppy Echoes on Telemarketing

I am trying to write more so please forgive me for any grammatical or clerical errors.......

I will start this by saying, I am not reviewing this yet but whatever you do watch this. Secondly sorry for the image it is a bad screen grab from my phone sadly.

When I graduated i was desperately looking for work, and generally the places that where hiring where telemarketing type institutions. A lot of them where straight up con jobs, just like the institution at the heart of the aforementioned documentary. The company CDG, works by soliciting donations, from people on behalf of Police organizations. The people, the work environment and actual work remind of places a lot of down on his or her luck college grads find themselves working for a few years. Or the only option for a lot of people with criminal records, little to no education or experience. Many Americans are slaving away in some cold cubicle warehouse doing work similar to the stuff you see in this show. For context I graduated with a graduate degree to a fairly shaky market, with a degree in Non Profit management, and on every job board, Linkedin post the only people who ever responded where these weird shady murky corporations. Corporations whose business models never made any logical sense. It was either that or these save the world campaign groups that had you working for nothing at all, standing around passing flyers and screaming slogans. It was at this time that I was depressed but very intrigued at the nature of the job market and how it is full of these strange traps that coerce people into spending their lives doing things they clearly deem immoral.
