  • I think making marginalised people around you not have to get close enough to check out your emblems before they get the fuck out of your vicinity is orders of magnitude more important than “reclaiming” “cool” uniforms that were never yours to claim in the first place unless you’re a Nazi yourself, and aren’t really cool at all unless you’re in to authoritarianism (and if that’s your kink, whatever, but you don’t get to inflict fear on to non consenting participants with it).

    There are plenty of other uniform like cloths for you to wear, deliberately making yourself look like a Nazi isn’t doing positive shit for anyone.



  • Especially in this economy of runaway corporate greed, we need a meaningful increase in wages revolution to eliminate those corporations and the systemic rewarding of greed.

    The fact that they could increase wages and still make money while improving society but don’t, is why they don’t deserve any more benefit of the doubt, or room to continue hoarding wealth and power as they are, because a system that craves constant growth at any cost will never stop on its own (nor provide paths for reform).



  • It wasn’t included, because, just as the replies here show, elections are not about improving society, but instead are nothing but a popularity contest designed and orchestrated to keep the public distracted while those who exploit and oppress us continue to do so uninterrupted.

    The public’s continued participation is the continued legitimisation of the process. Getting you riled up to vote “team ____ no matter who”, making you feel like you’re part of a team, that’s just part of the cult indoctrination, and the harder you deny it works on your “team” just as much as it does on the other, the stronger it’s obviously working on you.

    Their rules are made up by them to keep themselves at the top, stop obeying their self appointed authority, they don’t care about you, nor the planet.










  • This is good.

    But also - he’s just an astronaut (not diminishing the achievement, the opposite - highlighting that he is one, just like his peers).

    Unless they’ve built him his own para -llel spaceship, and are launching him on a para -llel mission, which I’m sure they aren’t.

    You (in general, not op, I assume you didn’t personally write this) don’t just get to add “para” in front of an activity or profession to indicate that disabled people participate in it, those activities are just life, and including disabled people in it should not be considered “parallel” to life.

    Anyway, good luck to him!
