just girly things: not being able to determine if a man is being nice to you because he’s sincere and views you as an autonomous human being or if he’s being nice to you because he views you as a conquerable object

seriously though bisexuality being defined as attraction to men and women is a heterosexual’s definition of bisexuality actual bisexual groups and organizations have been defining it as attraction to two or more genders or same and other genders since the nineties and plenty of nb people actually id as bi and refusing to accept how we define ourselves is so absurdly biphobic and heterosexist and jfc it’s 2014 can other queer people fucking realize and acknowledge this

[jackawful]

The purple stripe on the bi flag is meant to represent attraction to nb genders and the bisexual manifesto published in Anything That Moves includes the lines “Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature … In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.” That was published in 1990. It’s older than a lot of people here, including me, and older than terms like “pansexual” and “polysexual” by at least a decade. Bi history is important.

Kid Tells Mall Santa A Secret; Seconds Later Him And His Elves Are Beating The Crap Out Of A Child Molester

Real life Bad Santa doesn't f*ck about!

A Wisconsin mall Santa decided to handle one of the naughty list members early this year when a young girl told him her Christmas wish was for her stepdad to stop molesting her. He and four of his elves attacked the guy, who was waiting nearby, and pummeled him unconscious.

An eyewitness recalled, “Santa didn’t say nothing. He just grabbed the back of the guy’s skull and headbutted him REAL hard.” The witness continued on to say, “Then Kringle got on top of him and just started pummeling him. He was laughing and screaming ‘Ho! Ho! Ho! Motherfucker!’

the extent to which straight people don’t get gay humour is incredible like the whole thing is a satirisation of how gay people have been treated for years like the reason we say “___ is for gays only” is because yall have been going around calling everything you don’t like gay and we’re making fun of that dumb mindset and taking away the power of it and having fun and yall still come onto every gay satire post with this “what if straight people said this about you” like you have?? that’s why the post was made in the first place i don’t understand how yall are this oblivious it’s honestly baffling to me

If anything, the fact that most of the world’s people don’t have qualitative access to the fruits of education and technology works in capitalism’s favor. If all people had a sufficient education in this day and age, and archaic conceptions of intellectual property were abolished, we’d see constant creative booms in STEM and the arts. This would mean that sustainable technologies and labor-saving automation could be improved upon nigh-exponentially. In turn, a scenario like that would lay capitalist contradictions more visible for the lower classes of the world to see, and the system’s longevity would be put in jeopardy. Capitalism benefits from having a dispossessed, impoverished workforce that will accept whatever wage on offer, alongside the “unlimited” extraction process of capital accumulation that needs a society of dependent consumers; capitalism is not in the business of making itself obsolete.

[notyourmoderate]

It’s kind of funny how much effort the Powers That Be put into restricting access to information. It’s not a finite resource and it’s not prone to devaluation. A PhD in chemical engineering doesn’t become less valuable if you double the number of chemical engineering doctorates. It doesn’t do less or apply less. Information and education can be reproduced nearly infinitely nearly effortlessly. Imagine how easy it would be for every textbook to be released as a pdf and for every college professor to post all of their lectures as a youtube series. We would allow everyone to reach their desired level of education for free with no boundaries. But, nobody would make any money off of this. It would involve giving away for free what could be rationed out for dear. And so despite the fact that it would instantly and unequivocally make the world a universally better place, it doesn’t happen because nobody makes enough profit to make it happen.

[jerryspaper]

This is also why we see people coming up with cures for diseases all the time but never see the treatments in action. They stand to make more money if they keep you sick and on medication. They give you a band-aid solution which leaves you coming back for a new band-aid again and again. Same thing with phones and other personal technology. They have the tools to make the perfect phone and they know exactly what the people want from their devices based on reviews and complaints. From a capitalist perspective, it makes more sense to make subtle changes every year and keep increasing the price. One of the most effective ways to increase profits is to impede progress.

[garbageflowers-deactivated20250]

but when they DO find a way to get the treatments in action, the FDA gives them special protections to have a monopoy on the product so the pharm companies buy up all these patents then sell their medicine at extremely high prices since they have a monopoly on the medicine.

[sparrowhawk815-deactivated20190]

It’s also worth pointing out here that, as well as the obvious examples such as exorbitant healthcare costs and restrictions on education, there are a number of less obvious ways in which capitalism halts progress as well. 

America has no effective public transportation system, unlike developed countries with strong social welfare systems such as Japan, Germany and France. As a result, in nearly every American city it is more efficient for commuters to drive to work, and this causes tremendous traffic jams, which are incredibly wasteful and unproductive. 

There are also the incredibly insidious ways in which corporate lobbying prevents America from adopting more efficient technologies. There is an excellent article below which highlights the ways the coal industry in Ohio has lobbied against adopting green power, even as the cost of green power becomes increasingly inexpensive. It just goes to show how capitalism isn’t interested in economic gain- only in short-term economic gain, which is something entirely different.

tbh the logic behind giving companies rights over scientific discoveries (if you don’t give them an incentive they won’t invest in research)makes sense until you think about a, how much public money goes into r+d (innovation doesnt really depend on for-profit companies) and b, how easy it is for individuals to innovate nowadays, even with limited resources. every article about a group of teenagers making solar-powered tents for the homeless or a rubik’s cube for blind people is an argument against the idea that innovation comes from high-tech labs (which again, companies aren’t paying for anyway)

Controversial opinion, apparently: Don’t hit children.

[blogdeactivivvvated-deactivated]

It teaches them to obey out of fear, instead of for good behavior’s sake.

Even then, it has mixed results and often makes defiant children.

It causes long-lasting psychological issues that follow them to adulthood.

It ruins your relationship with that child because they will not trust you.

The FBI Is investigating people with “kind of an antifa ideology”

Antifascist activists worry that the Trump administration is trying to crack down on dissent.

Men and women who are inspired by “kind of an antifa ideology” are being investigated by the FBI, according to the bureau’s director, Christopher Wray.

“While we’re not investigating antifa as antifa—that’s an ideology and we don’t investigate ideologies—we are investigating a number of what we would call anarchist-extremist [groups], where we have properly predicated subjects of people who are motivated to commit violent criminal activity on kind of an antifa ideology,” Wray told members of the House Homeland Security Committee.

In case things weren’t clear, the FBI director is talking about you. 

Good security culture is more important now than ever.

Protect yourself and your comrades. Don’t be dumb and post stuff on Facebook or Twitter or whatever that you don’t want the governs to read.

[redandreist-deactivated20200813]

Antifa aren’t legitamate; It’s a loose group of liberals, misinformed utopian anarchists, and leftcoms pretending to be an actual revolutionary group. It’s pathetic. They have no organization, clear goal, or actual struggle.

[c0nt8ct-deactivated20211225]

I know you’re a Leninist, and you folks are used to authorizing other people’s struggles, but you don’t actually have any authority here.

Most of the Leninists I’ve come across online strongly agree with antifascist action. It’s almost always the leftcoms who criticize it as class collaborationist. And I’m not aware of any liberals who have participated in antifa. It’s largely an anarchist and autonomist movement.

It’s also not supposed to be a revolutionary group. It’s a free association for the purpose of fighting fascism. If you want to criticize anarchist groups engaging in class war, try criticizing the FAI-IRF, the CCF, or any anarchist federation.

[andrelenin135-deactivated201809]

At least the Leninists know that to organize as a revolutionary group is to effectively eliminate the enemy. Antifa is just a band of half-wits, opportunists and amateurs trying to fight something that is *protected by the government*. Only a revolutionary group, dedicated wholly to the revolution, will crush the Capitalist government, which will, in turn, crush the Fascists. As for authority, do I even need to quote Engels on how he used railways as an example of authority?

[c0nt8ct-deactivated20211225]

Point to a single Leninist party actively fighting the alt-right that doesn’t feed back into antifa’s anarchist tactics.

I’ve already listed examples of anarchist groups fighting class war now, although I’m sure you’d consider them illegitimate, since they don’t follow your nice pre-packaged blueprint on how to make revolutions.

“On Authority” is confused at best. Engels conflates authority with force, expertise, and trust repeatedly, disregarding anarchist and mainstream definitions of the word. No anarchist I’m aware of takes it seriously.

[lucidnee]

its 2017 men still don’t understand the concept of “tell a girl if all you want from her is sex and don’t pretend you want more” and their dumbass response is “ok but they say no” LIKE SURPRISE!!! Women are allowed to say no to you if they don’t want just sex! SHOCKERRER THEY CHOOSE WHO THEY ALLOW ACCESS TO THEIR BODY WOW. WILD CONCEPT!!

It’s ppl out here who want casual sex find them! Don’t trick someone who told you I want more into thinking it’s more. You piece of shit.

Capitalist culture is service industry workers not being allowed to sit down for their entire shifts, no matter how dead the traffic flow gets.

[left-reminders]

Capitalist culture is service industry workers sacrificing their comfort for antagonizing and pervy customers who are “always right”.

[left-reminders]

Capitalist culture is giving students homework in order to prepare them for their future careers where they’ll inevitably need to “take work home with them” or work extra hours in order to put bread on the table.

[left-reminders]

Capitalist culture is helping physically/mentally ill people only to the extent that they’re able to generate profitable labor again.

[left-reminders]

Capitalist culture is destroying food that can’t be sold rather than distributing it to poor people according to need.

Capitalist culture is monetizing knowledge and making it artificially scarce so that owners can profit and laypeople are left in the dark.
