being poor is literally just like *buys a book and feels guilty about it* *goes to see a movie and feels guilty about it* *buys some food and feels guilty about it* *buys a piece of clothing and feels guilty about it*

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.

You all can't be trusted to eat the rich.

[nigga-hime]

Remember kids. Billionaires are bad. But not cause money is bad. They’re bad because there’s no way to make that much money without hurting people to get that much money. 🥰

[thebookofloveislong]

There is no ethical way to make a billion dollars.

Is McFly Album 6 Out Yet?

[dcylily]

as the dash moves back to normal, please don’t let this be the end of your activism. this wasn’t just a trend, these are real lives. continue to further your understanding, get educated, listen to black people, and be an active ally.

[telltaletypist]

the fact that “abolish the police” went from a fringe, radical stance that no one took seriously to a national talking point after just 7 days of protests is itself a massive victory. keep pushing.

Everyone protesting right now. Stay strong. We are changing the world.

KEEP GOING

This is also just in:

BREAKING: Minneapolis City Council members have announced their intent to disband the Minneapolis Police Department and invest in community-led public safety.

SO YES PROTESTING WORKS!!!

[cartnsncreal]

Wonder how fast we could crowdfund it.

[zeusisblack]

Didn’t they arrest him?

[lagonegirl]

oh man. he dead… 

[sardonic-salt-mine]

His name is Edward Crawford.

[zibelstardust]

For real tho. He was hands down murdered by the police. A lot of notable figures from Ferguson were found dead in the same manner and police labeled them all suicides which ,as we all know, is complete and utter bullshit.

If we could get statues of anyone it really is Edward Crawford. If I can get in contact with a sculptor or some shit with permission from Crawford’s family I will set up the Fund Page in a heart beat.

Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protesting…

[800-dick-pics]

it would also be heart breaking if you filled an fire extinguisher full of an oil based paint, if you use these on their face and body shields i dont think they would be able to see to good :’c and i dont want anyone getting hurt by doing something like this!
