Even in a post-capitalist, post-consumerist world, you still need to produce goods, as a result of this, you need factories because it is more effective to have a few people making a lot of clothes in a factory than every woman being forced to sit down and spin wool all day.
Some excellent comments here. The problem isn’t the factories that make manufacturing more efficient, it’s that the people working there often have poor working conditions, are only there because they have no better options, and don’t get any real benefit out of their employers’ success. Fix that, and we can absolutely keep the freedom that comes from having people specialise in specific skills, instead of having to do everything needed for individual survival ourselves
interview with the vampire, the novel, treats homosexuality in a pretty bog standard way for 70s american media—a grotesquerie too unseemly to be addressed by name, whose practitioners are either helpless but still disgusting victims who rightfully want to die to kill the disease inside of them, or gauche, subhuman predators who reach grisly ends as a result of their perversion. it goes through the homophobic traits noted in chapter three of the celluloid closet like a checklist. and then not that long later the vampire lestat has a completely revised view of homosexuality, treating gayness and gay relationships with a kind of clumsy, eager voyeurism, titillation where before there was only artistry and disgust. something happened between 1976 and 1985 that resulted in anne rice’s fujoshi awakening
The video is actually about how all of those things don't equate to a sense of self. She talks about how this "list of traits" often backed by corporations is a trap to further remove yourself from discovering any actual deeper meaning and feelings, when Myers Briggs could do the work for you.
Then, every one of us rebloging this without having watched the video fell into the misogynistic trap of seeing a screenshot of a woman talking about how she feels and decided she's full of herself.
