I think a lot of the problems in the word stem from people confusing capitalism and communism.

“But in a communist society you would be poor and someone else will get your hard earned money! You might starve or freeze or be homeless!!”

So close darling, actually that’s capitalism.

“Capitalism is good because everyone gets what they earned and deserve!!”

Wrong again, that’s communism. Because everyone deserves the same. Everyone deserves to be able to live from the money they make. Everyone deserves a stable income.

“If we were in a communist society people would get lazy and don’t work hard enough anymore, but get their money anyways, that’s unfair!”

My sweet summer child. That’s capitalism. How hard do you think your boss is working for double the money you get.

“But they’ll take away my hard earned money!”

You work a 10h day with 7€ Minimum Wage. They already do.

“But what if the system is corrupt and some people get more money than others! What if few people on top of the chain, who are supposed to make sure everyone gets enough money hoard all the money and we don’t get enough to live anymore!!”

I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this….

“But the Soviet Union is a perfect example why communism is bad!!! Don’t you know history?!!!”

Stalin was a fascist and late state capitalist. The Soviet Union failed at being communist and instead turned capitalist the moment people on top started hoarding money and letting others starve. That was capitalism. The Soviet Union was just incredibly harmfully capitalist wirh a few extra steps.

Please listen to me.

People with less money than you aren’t trying to take your money.

People with more money are.

The cruelty of racist white men.

Does anyone else remember when Elon was like "if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I'll fund it" and UNICEF was like "we're going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it" and Elon was like "actually, nah" and then bought Twitter instead?

I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life.

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

[insomniac-arrest]

I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me

Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

oh uh. scuse me. just a lil snail crossing your dash

[alex51324]

I love how certain I am that I’m not the only person who stopped scrolling to let the snail finish crossing the dash.  

In fact, I would bet small sums of money that the majority of Tumblr folk do.    

[teatops]

Rb for the lil hops it does at the end before it finishes crossing 🥺💓
