no clue what to do with these bois so ill leave em here

Capitalism didn’t give Americans cars and smartphones though. The people in most of those cars are probably still paying off their loans, and their phones are likely on contract. Capitalism just lends Americans money, so it can make more money when they pay it back. And they don’t complain because they get to enjoy the illusion of prosperity and drive a car they don’t really own, while paying other people for fuel and insurance.

It’s all smoke and mirrors. The only real part is the smoke.

capitalism didn't give me a phone. it forced me to buy one if I wanted to do literally anything. homework, school, jobs, interviews, family, friends, relationships, banking, taxes, insurance, medical stuff, etc. I need a phone to do any of those things. and it's pretty much the same deal with a car.

capitalism doesn't give you things. it doesn't create things. it makes certain expensive things necessary for survival in modern society. and if you can't afford those things, then you're just fucked.

phones and cars are luxuries or toys. they are necessities. that's why I lose my fucking mind when people are like "how are you poor, you have a phone?".

Know your history:

Gay:

Used to mean carefree

Then sexually deviant

Then prostitute

Then slut

Then sodomite

And THEN as we know it today but only as a slur

Reclaimed in the seventies

LGBT:

Invented in the nineties

Has faced constant backlash (from both straight, queer, and LGBT folks from being not inclusive enough or too inclusive)

Every year there are pushes to change to acronym

LGBTQ

LGBTQ+

LGBTQ*

LGBTQIA

Mogai

Alphabet soup

Queer:

Used to mean “other”

Became a slang term for “not straight” in the 1400s

Became a slur in the early 1900s

Reclaimed in the 80s.

Sudden push back from within the queer community to have it seen only as a slur in the 2010s, a push that can be traced back to terf ideology.

Is the only term that includes all non cishet people

Homosexual

A medical diagnosis

Used for decades to make queerness into a mental illness

Used as a slur for the latter half of the 20th century

Rejected by the queer community as an acceptable term for a brief period of time in the early 2000s before coming back into fashion.

Only describes the experience of cis gay men and cis lesbians

Think what you want, believe what you will, but every word we have ever used to describe ourselves is coated in blood.

Op ur so brave to assume people on this site can read well enough to get this

I actually talked to an older queer guy who said he was amazed to see how many young people call themselves gay. When he hears it, he just hears a slur…but he also said he was glad that people are able to reclaim it, and he’s happy to see a generation of lgbt+ people comfortable with it.

People on this site could learn from him

Theres also been zero mention of the fact that this had been planned for weeks on a public website that anyone could access and chat on and yet was never taken down or investigated despite the graphic threads talking about murdering real people.
