The migrant crisis in Latin America is the consequences of the Capitalist Modernity

Those people that are fleeing their land at thousands, if not millions, are met with the military and oppressive apparatus of the “first-world”, the “north-world”, European countries letting people die in the seas of the Mediterranean sea so they don’t get to the borders of the south Europe or the concentration camps in the Mexico-US border where agents of ICE and the United States Border Patrol behave as Gestapo agents by leaving people without food or any human care as they are caged – even children are separated from their families. This happens due to the eugenicist mentality of this countries, their white policies that had origin in the colonisation and the bases of the creation of the nation-state mentality.

Suppression of Self-expression

The system says ‘go to school, get good grades, a good job then work to retirement so you live off your pension in your senior years’. People have been complaining for years about the lack of jobs in my part of the world. In essence this means they get hired later than most; resultantly they settle in jobs they are unqualified for while some earn peanuts. Our schools, on the other hand, condemn…

trying to talk about social change with the average firstworlder is absurdly tedious because you need to go through a dozen more steps for every single point. like if you propose 'we should build a walking and cycling path here, between these two parklands, where that highway is' their first response would be 'ummm but if you built a path where the highway is youd get hit by cars'

I feel like I'm the last person to care abt this but like. It was legitimately insane watching the giant antiblack blocklist get spread around and then all the people who spread it start panicking when the same logic that got dozens of transfem third worlders put on it was flipped around to target tme firstworlders.

How did Para happen?? Always separate from Nora, or separated FROM Nora...?

ALRIGHTY SO. I'm gonna start from a really zoomed out perspective and narrow in.

Way back in the Firstworld, we have the big three gods: Raven, Spider, and Bartleby. The edges of reality are weak, fuzzy things, a gradient between what was and wasn't.

When the Spiral was made, the gradient became something a bit more solid. A semi-proper border between what is and what isn't: the Dreaming. The "what if"s and "what could be"s. The way that Bartleby holds the Spiral together with his roots, the Dreamer maintains the Dreaming. It stands completely opposite of him, and he of it, with only the Springs Eternal being the slimmest of overlap between the two.

Flash forward to October 22, 1997. Nora is born on Earth. She is the child of destiny. Savior of the Spiral, Child of Light and Shadow, Scion of Bartleby, Divine Paradox, all that jazz. Nobody knows how it all fits together, not even Bartleby himself, but the Spiral has its Wizard.

Nora stepping into the Paradox Essence essentially 'awoke' the Dreamer, and it was able to join with Nora into becoming the Divine Paradox. It's kinda a Christian Holy Trinity situation except not a trinity, where the Scion of Bartleby and the Dreamer are two separate things but they are both the Divine Paradox now. The Divine Paradox coming to be is also what allowed the Nothing to glimpse the Spiral.

The following year, Nora had her Moment TM (can you tell it's getting late) and left the Spiral, leaving the Dreamer as the only remnants of the Divine Paradox. Now fully conscious and her own person, she names herself Para.

amerikkans and other firstworlders talking about their experience with cars as if they were universal will never fail to annoy me. cars are a fucking nuisance and expensive to maintain, I fucking rather spend half an hour more on the bus or the subway and sleep, than waste my time in traffic and not being able to do anything but keep my eyes on the road.

Wish you could've seen it but there was a post of some idiot clutching pearls and crying because "Gazans are losing the ability to communicate because Israel is shutting down communications networks before intensifying attacks,".

Useless Pampered Firstworlder Discovers Basic Military Strategy, More at 11

I guess all Gazans are mute or something. Or maybe the pearl clutcher has only seen video of them shouting in some strange, incomprehensible language and thinks that means they all just make gibberish noises instead of speaking.
