"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you

You know that thing would eat you if you died, right? *pointing to the false image of you that others perceive*

i think understanding the family as a system of ownership over both women and children will lead you to understand both misogyny and the oppression of children a lot better and also be able to draw informative parallels between both

[rhynee]

this is still one of my favorite explanations for gender

This image manifested so clearly in my mind I had to recreate it

[image 1: a tweet by KatysCartoons, whose profile picture is a stick figure whose head is colored in with the trans pride flag. the tweet reads, "Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions". embedded in the tweet is a pie chart entitled "Types of atom in the universe": seventy-four percent hydrogen, twenty-five percent helium, and, in tiny font, one percent other.]

[image 2: the periodic table of the elements, except that hydrogen and helium are in their own box labeled "Real elements", and elements 3 (lithium) through 118 (oganesson) are labeled "Mental illness".]

.

incidentally this periodic table must've been drawn in the past nine years, since it doesn't deadname oganesson

resilience is not sustainable we are not supposed to endure life we are supposed to live it

police departments love to be like "we need more money to fight all the crime that's been happening lately" and they show a graph with crime going up at then you look into the numbers and it's like "the ten percent increase in crime was correlated with a ten percent increase in active policing hours" and it's like oh okay so the crime factory needs more money because the crime factory stayed open late to manufacture more crime in order to convince us to give more money to the crime factory. Where can I get off this carousel of misery?

Notice the little sleigh of hand there? Palestinians can't sell land to "Jews", it's a common tactic, it changes the meaning quite a lot and sweeps all Jews under the rug. It sure comes as extreme by default to anyone.

But that's not the case here, the responder did know that the death sentence (which barely happens) would be carried out against anyone selling land to Israelis, not Jews. But the premise here is unacceptable. Why is there such a law? Why are Palestinians discouraged from selling land to Israelis? Is there a historical precedence for this? Does this particular law apply to Palestinian Jews and other religious minorities? The answer is relatively simple, and I'm sure anyone with a brain cell can figure it out. But the responder obfuscated those facts. Why? To make the Palestinians seem like the irrational party here. Yes, Palestinians are simply fueled by jew-hatred. That's what a Zionist would lead you to believe. But yes, let's just ignore the material conditions of the Palestinian people.

The matter of land becomes an extremely sensitive topic when Palestinian land is being expropriated by bloodthirsty Jewish settlers, who keep harming Palestinians and destroying their livestock. Using any method possible to terrorize the Palestinians while the IOF protects them. Palestinians are living in dread and fear as they're constantly harassed by Jewish settler, and despite international scrutiny, the Israeli regime not only supports the expansion of Israeli settlements, but attempts to destroy any prospect of Palestinian statehood.. The responder refuses to contextualize these things in a bid to paint the Palestinians as antisemites. Anyone who has kept up with the genocide and settler violence in the west bank knows why such a law has been put to place. Why is the person only concerned with Palestinians refusing to sell land as opposed to the illegal settlements in Palestine and the terror they impose on Palestinians?

Yes, it makes absolute sense to consider anyone who engages in transactional activities with foreign land grabbers, institutions and colonizers as an act of treachery, and yes, that person ought to be put to death for selling their community out to a bunch of colonizers like the compradors they are. At the end, these hasbara attempts only expose the Lib Zionists for the Jewish supremacists they are. But ask the Zionist this: Are Palestinians allowed to purchase land from Israelis?

I like how the point of the post is flying over peoples heads despite being excessively simple.

“Jung confuses instinct and habit. According to him, the collective unconscious is part of the psyche; the myths and archetypes are permanent engrams of the species. We hope we have shown that this collective unconscious is nothing of the sort and that, in fact, it is cultural, i.e., it is acquired.”

If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you'd be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that's before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)

The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.

Garbage service is one of the ten deadliest jobs in the United States.

And police work isn't even on that list.

like this sentence from the introduction alone is fucking crazy. “approximately half of adults in the united states think that torture can be acceptable in counterterrorism.” what!

The Nasdaq were a collection of economic spirits venerated the middle to end United States imperial wealth cults. Economic spirits, referred to as "stocks" (/stɑks/) in the obscure dialect of French spoken in the United States, were categorized into one of several "exchanges" ( /ɛksˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ/) based upon perceived impact and power. The Nasdaq are believed to have been held in higher esteem than other contemporaneously worshipped exchanges in the Dao and the Nysse. Shamans of the imperial wealth cults ("brokers" /ˈbɹoʊkɚ/) were known to sacrifice offerings ("layoffs") to the Nasdaq in hopes of receiving material and spiritual rewards from the supreme deity of the United States, The Free Market. Brokers were often known to interpret omens of the day by questioning the effect of such omens on the stocks.
