"whats the mouth doing?criticizing capitalism" : you watch how everybody else evolves  and you stay a develop country. you watch how they rob your resources  and turn your country in a colony. you watch how the rich consume  and the affects of co2 come raining on you. you watch how your country is dying slowly ,they only ignore it and see as if it is not their fault- this economic system that puts humanity in chains this economic system that steps on humanity with their feet this economic system is sick and not useable “capitalism ist tot!” “capitalism ist tot!” who needs wealth, if others suffering comes with it? “capitalism ist tot!” “capitalism ist tot!” and if it hasnt died yet,then we should kill it before it gets too late and it kills us.

What's better, TB awareness or ethically sourced coffee?

I am a very, very big fan of our coffee, but...

If everyone in wealthy countries understood that TB has killed FORTY MILLION PEOPLE since the year 2000, and if everyone in wealthy countries was angry and disgusted by the ongoing horror of underfunded research and treatment distribution, then TB death rates would decline by 60 or 70% over the next decade, simply because more resources would be devoted to finding new treatments and effectively distributing current ones. (We've seen this happen before! Look at HIV/AIDS death between 2005 and 2015! They fell by over 50%, not primarily because of new treatments but because of a dramatic expansion of existing treatments. Same thing could happen with TB.)

Like, we might lose 20 million people in the 2030s to TB, not because it's an impossible problem to solve but because we do not treat the problems of impoverished communities the way we treat the problems of rich communities.

So yeah, TB awareness (and activism! and fundraising! and advocacy for patients!) is vastly, vastly more important than the world's best coffee.

I'm so fucking mad.

It is reprehensible that they've separated Kpop out of the general Global category. That’s blatant segregation. What was the logic? Which countries qualify for global if not Korea? I mean, what the ever loving fuck is "Global Kpop"?

I tried to give myself space to calm down but every time I think about it, I just get angrier. I thought looking at pretty pictures would calm myself down...GRRRR.

This isn’t any consolation but at least everyone sees what they’ve done. Meaning what Billboard has done.

And Seven, an English song written and produced by white men with a black female rapper featured on it is categorized as Kpop ONLY BECAUSE THE MAIN ARTIST IS KOREAN---YET SINGING IN ENGLISH??? is not included in any of the Top categories. They just didn’t want a Korean artist to take an award away from either Miley or the Whalen asshole. Because JK would have. GRRR!

They are dead.

Babies, their first cry not heard by the world before they become orphans

Toddlers, taking their first steps among the rubble of places they didn't live in long enough to call home

Children, not yet old enough to know what is happening but who still know that something is very very wrong

Teenagers, watching their friends starve and unable to do anything about it

Parents, who cannot go on any longer as they watch their children being murdered

Grandparents, who have seen the start of this war but fear that they will not live to see its end

Students, watching as their schools go from teaching them to housing them to being the only thing between them and certain death

Journalists, documenting the horrors every day because they may die any second but they will not die without a purpose

Doctors, refusing to leave their home because rivers will flow full of their blood before they stop trying to save their people

Millions of Palestinians, still hanging on to hope that despite everything One day From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.

hi my loves

tough year huh? know that we will survive this. we're terrified, i know. we're terrified and we will persist nonetheless. it is the perfect opportunity to connect with your community. in times like these especially, we need each other. organize, get involved, and volunteer with local organizations to improve the conditions of your life and the lives of the people around you.

remember that your existence is resistance. your joy is resistance. we will get through this--together. be kind to yourselves. love one another. unfortunately, the only way out is through.

Humans have killed more humans than Climate

Those who are worried about the climate crisis should speak of the humanity crisis in form of oppression, mass killings, lynching's, racism, ethnic cleansing, injustice and all other forms of atrocities against humanity first, if they are really concerned about humanity.

In fact it should be "Humanity is towards a Cliff of Human Rights Violations Casastrophe" Miss Greta Thurnberg

The catastrophe due to inhumanity, injustice, lies, deceptions, hypocrisy and hoardings. It's not the climate but humans themselves who have killed more humans. Honesty.

People v. Hall (1854) - Immigration History

"People v. Hall (1854) - Immigration History" https://immigrationhistory.org/item/people-v-hall/

Observation of the world Colonial Laws no one seems to address or call out because everyone seems to allow the very people who invented races continues to allow these shit people who invaded our lands and freedoms to escape from being held accountable for their atrocious acts of violence.

These shit people will continue to be as arrogant and dangerous until we put an end to it because they need to be taught a lesson of justice, our justice, not the ones they created for themselves.

There's a rule of universal laws of life for treating people like you want to be treated as a fellow human being and not controlled by a few people who treats everyone outside of their group as non humans.

We should have grown tired of this unfair and unjustified system of governing. We either take a stand for peace and equality now or continue to give a free pass to those who continues to make our lives miserable on earth.

The choice should be quick and absolute without any form of hesitation because it's us against them and we know all to well who is the the problem for all humankind.

Why the world is *gestures around at everything* opinion

No TL;DR here.

Pride month has me dwelling on what i've been thinking about a lot in the last few years, as I'm sure many have, the way the world is heading. Many of us feel out of control and helplessly riding along with an apocalyptic and terrifying demise of the world we know. As we individually fight for just causes, we should seek intersectionality in every facet of our lives. I'd like to share my thoughts on why this is true and more. The cure to the world's problems is as basic as what we tell children: "share." I mean this in more than a literal sense of sharing objects. These problems that I dwell on, we all know about stem from something else. I am speaking of the concept of divide and conquer as it applies to our society and the negative consequences of this. It all begins with organization. I am not going to claim I am an expert on everything on Earth, but these are my thoughts as an educated individual who keeps up to date with credible sources such as academic journals and primary sources. Definitions I list here are both verbatim and paraphrased.

A group exists that most of us are aware of in some capacity, which coordinates together to promote propaganda separating everything that makes humans people. Organizations like the United Nations have a Human Rights Council and a Declaration of Human Rights, but this declaration, and ONLY if properly utilized, plucks only a feather on the bird of prey that divides the Human Earthlings: preventing peace, advancement, and unity; I will not elaborate on the topic of other Earthlings here.

This may sound like digression, but try to humor me here.

There are "hard sciences" such as S.T.E.M. fields. These are held in high regard. People dismiss the social sciences, sometimes called "soft sciences": history, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, sociology, psychology… This is done systematically through the use of pervasive propaganda even in academia. This reduces interdisciplinary study, which has numerous benefits. Imagine if all of this knowledge could be combined to be utilized for its full potential. We could have advances beyond our dreams. As the old saying goes, "a jack of all trades and master of none, is often better than a master of one." Sharing information is invaluable. Communication of information is invaluable. It is why we have agriculture, medicine, metalwork, machines, and the internet. These are only some extraordinarily vital bits of knowledge that are not utilized to their full potential. Let us peel back another layer of this concept or turn back a page, as they say.

Even literacy is minimized in its importance purposefully. This is a large part of communication. There are different levels of literacy. What is most common in our American society is a gray area between nominal and functional literacy in scientific terms. "Nominal literacy" refers to one who can recognise scientific terms but does not have a clear understanding of the meaning. "Functional literacy" refers to the capacity of a person to engage in all those activities in which literacy is required for effective function of his or her group and community and also for enabling him or her to continue to use reading, writing and calculation for his or her own and the community's development. In a scientific sense, functional literacy is when the person can use scientific and technological vocabulary but usually this is only out of context as is the case for example in a school test of examination or basic correspondence. "Structural: conceptual and procedural literacy" means that the individual demonstrates understanding and a relationship between concepts and can use processes with meaning. "Multidimensional literacy" is when the individual not only has understanding, but has developed perspectives of science and technology that include the nature of science, the role of science and technology in personal life and society. Multidimensional literacy is what it is called when someone is "fully literate," "entirely literate," or "completely literate." They can comprehend entirely. We should, as a society, be trying to assist all persons to reach the highest level of literacy possible for them to understand in the most efficient way. Instead, literacy is kept minimal at best for each individual use by design, even per subject in an academic setting. This is why interdisciplinary study isn't utilized nearly as often as it should be for a more complete understanding of the world as science can inform us and assist in advancement of the scientific pursuit of knowledge and cultural development.

People who are completely literate are perceived as intelligent purely due to their ability to learn and communicate more efficiently than someone who is less literate. People who have the skill of multidimensional literacy are called "advanced" when truly they are the baseline of true understanding. Even those who have not yet reached multidimensional literacy are considered advanced or above average. Literacy is so underrated and avoided in our educational system that a person with an extensive vocabulary is considered more intelligent than someone with a more limited vocabulary, which is blatantly incorrect. The most intelligent people may never have an opportunity to become literate even nominally, but that does not make them less intelligent. It creates a communication barrier just as strong as any language barrier. It prevents a mind from communication. This is a tragic loss, the inability to communicate.

>Side note, that is why accessibility for communication is vital and should be prioritized. Accessibility in all parts of life, a world built for all, not just the "typical."<

Communication barriers in our society have examples such as levels of literacy or understanding of different subjects and perspectives. Communication barriers are also intensified when people are divided by cultural conflicts. These culture clashes are the most well-known form of division of people. People who are united under certain principles or agreements can accomplish radically more than people divided by disagreement, bias, or any other thing that stands in the way of cooperation. The more division, the more discord. That means more distraction and less cooperation. Cooperation and knowledge are what allow a common goal to succeed. The knowledge and how to learn from as many prior mistakes and successes as possible is vital.

This is why, repeatedly, throughout known human history, it has been shown that a ruling class cooperates to design a system that all people follow to maintain some form of basic organization for how the society operates. While some have started altruistically and with the reciprocity that allowed our species to survive near extinction many times, most become or begin as a means of hoarding power through resources.

This is where we get the Malthusian myth of scarcity and horrific events such as poverty and war. If people can be convinced that resources are truly limited rather than just improperly managed, they will all follow the rules they are told will allow them the share of these resources they need to thrive or even survive.

Again, it is somewhat common knowledge that these organized people create a class of people that utilize an attempted control of information with the tool of propaganda to maintain their positions of power. It was discovered that using informational controls to prevent other people from organization was an effective tool against losing their power. This is why when the non-powerful or "common" people eventually tire of a system's injustices and inequities and revolt in anger, society often collapses all together. This is why "education" has traditionally been conducted for a limited number of people and why those people are often the ones next in power should one leader fall. There is no coordinated allegiance or cooperation among those who pursue justice because they have been trained from birth to be driven from everything that could help unite large masses of people that are vastly different from one another. Fundamentally, it is because of an inability to communicate information, from academic knowledge to simple concepts, that we can not cooperate as humanity to solve painful problems.

So, this would mean that at the core of what I am saying is this: we all want equity and the best lives for ourselves, our loved ones, and often all people. However, we do not take the individual responsibility to attempt to communicate, teach communication, and teach utilization of this communication for cooperation. If a large enough group of people took this individual responsibility to promote this TRUE education, which you might call "well rounded," we could improve upon it every generation and interaction to create real change. We need to apply the principles we use selectively universally in our lives without hypocrisy. We need to encourage every human to learn as much as they can about as much as they can and, most importantly, how to communicate this information to others in every way possible.

So, give the most of your time to what you do or enjoy best, but share it. Share everything in your mind and abilities freely and with peace and the pursuit of spreading true and valuable information.

Every skill, every tool, share. It might just save us.

Next, maybe i'll tell you why I think AI could be the savior we need to accelerate this process & that is why there is so much fear mongering in attempts to slow its development and why I love the character "Data" from Star trek so intensely.

21st Anniversary of the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay Cuba

[infinityinc4ever]

For years I’ve been missing a single issue from my Infinity Inc collection - issue 34. Because it’s the first appearance of Injustice Unlimited, the modern Icicle, and Artemis, it’s always going for a little more than I felt it was worth. I finally broke down and bought it, though, so I now have the complete set. Geek joy.
