linguistics fact! the words "pokemon" and "pikmin" are cognate, both deriving from the Old Gamer word "pacman"

if you want to support autistic people you really do need to shut up about picky eaters. sorry

It's a fantastic point, but John Boyega's net worth also puts him at $6 million. When he says eat the rich, he isn't safe either...

[neon-classical]

There’s a pretty big fucking difference between six million and one trillion lmao

Not to mention the way the money was made

An actor being paid for a role / doing some advertising is a world away form a man setting up a cooperate money machine that horrendously exploits workers

[dr-dendritic-trees]

This is something I hate SO MUCH about how tumblr talks about money.

Like, I get that famous actors have large amounts of money, some of them are even probably overpaid (I have complicated thoughts about how actors are paid because of the nature of acting as a career), but they are exchanging labor for money, and their salaries are an expense involved in making a movie.

But like... an actor is paid for a job. They’re a worker like the rest of us. Bezos isn’t paid for a job, he’s paid for being the person who owns Amazon and despite being obscenely wealthy, he does all sorts of shitty things and to underpay and exploit his workers, and avoid paying taxes, so that more of the money Amazon generates will be profit (worker’s salaries are not profit, they’re a business expense). 

These two mechanisms of acquiring money are fundamentally very different. 

The reason why billionaires are evil aren’t because having money is bad, its because to get a billion dollars you have to cheat. You have to take it from someone else. If Bezos paid all his workers and suppliers fairly and treated them well, and paid his fair amount of taxes, and etc, then it literally wouldn’t matter how much money he earned, because he wouldn’t be doing anyone any harm. But its not actually possible to amass a billion dollars (a full order of magnitude bigger than a million) while behaving in an ethical manner.

The last post is everything.

Also wanna say that John Boyega specifically does a lot of proper grassroots good work and actively puts himself in a position where he knows the racists will keep on coming for him, to actively and materially help marginalised communities.

The fact a black man is never able to say a single word without being criticised is not being missed btw.

There are many many studies that show that it would positively impact the economy to house the unhoused, but looking at it from pure profit lenses misses the actual point of homelessness: disciplining Labor. Homelessness is there as a threat for the Capital to deploy if the Workers do not conform. That's why during the WGA strike, one of the CEOs blatantly said they will not budge til the writers are homeless. This is why we have hostile architecture. Labor must conform, and the punishment promised to Labor needs to get worse and worse every day.
