The repulsive American belief & legal standard - that children are the property of their parents - has been around since the beginning. Benjamin fucking Franklin's father literally sold him to his dickbag older brother as a servant and Benjamin Franklin did the sensible thing in that situation and ran the fuck away to work for pay elsewhere. Illegally. Because he was still technically his adult brother's property.

We're one of like. two nations in the world that haven't ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, because religious fundamentalists need to own their children as property in order to keep their cults going. America is an enormous multitude of cults and real estate scams all stuffed into the trenchcoat of a single nation

Their solution to rape is to make sure someone else is raped.

Their solution to poverty is to make sure someone else is poor.

Their solution to prison overcrowding is to make sure someone else goes to prison.

Their solution to police brutality is to make sure someone else is killed by police.

But those aren't solutions. It shouldn't happen to anyone.

Me: So because of my income I qualify to use this local food pantry and...

Dad: Yeah, game the system!

Me in my head: Why do you say "Game the system" every time someone in our family needs help from a charity or the government? Are you afraid to admit that maybe we aren't completely self reliant even though your personal politics dictate that the system should work for its citizens and we are citizens lucky enough to be born into the system? Does it baffle you that I have no strong feelings about accepting help affording food? What did the 1980s drill into you? Why did you never accept help, or so you claim? Was it just not there? How many nights did you live off of potatoes and salt because nobody would help you? Would you have even accepted the help? Why do you insist upon seeing accepting aid as a sort of con?

[what-even-is-thiss]

A lot of people I know, even if they're progressive, still see accepting aid as a shameful thing, even if they think that other people should do it, so I'm gonna stop that cycle. *ahem* Hey everyone! I'm going to a food pantry next week so I can eat some bread before I start getting my paycheck and I'm feeling generally neutral about it!

[enbycrafts]

I’ve been looking into affordable housing / low income housing, and I thought I’d feel a lot more self conscious about it, but it isn’t bad? And idk, I guess growing up I always imagined that low income apartments were gonna be in disrepair and dangerous - and then I found out there’s one literally 10 minutes from my house.

It’s fucking W I L D how anti-poor propaganda, no matter how subtle, can impact you. Even if you think you’re a progressive / leftist, you need to check your unconscious biases from time to time.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I knew someone that felt guilty for accepting the child tax credit and I asked them "Well did it help you and your child?" and they were like "Oh, definitely." and it's like well what's the issue, then? You yourself believe in universal basic income. Why are you avoiding what is basically a trial run of that? If you preach about communities helping each other and governments working for their people then you need to be willing to accept that help. It's for you! You don't need to be literally be a starving skeleton before you accept help.

“We wouldn’t have to deal with the Delta variant if it weren’t for a bunch of uneducated people refusing to get their vaccine”

No, we would still have had to deal with the Delta variant, because neither Trump nor Biden showed any interest in distributing US vaccine stockpiles internationally during the early months when it could have had the greatest impact in dampening Delta’s spread throughout India. Public health experts explicitly warned policymakers at the time that this vaccine nationalism would enable the global spread of variants. But this explanation doesn’t let anyone in America feel superior to anyone else, so it won’t catch on

[afronerdism]

Pfizer and Moderna have quite literally raised their vaccine prices after learning their vaccines are more effective against variants and are set to make 41 billion dollars more than it costs to make the vaccine.

People not wearing masks is a problem. People not getting vaccinated is a problem. But the bigger problem remains white imperialist greed.

Meanwhile in Plymouth, MN, a white kid this past week brought a gun to his high school, shot it into the air in the hallways, and OF COURSE is taken in without being hurt or shot.

[sassymccoy]

Unfriendly reminder that this was labelled as a "school shooting" for several days in an attempt to cover up what actually happened.

Even unfriendlier reminder that after enough push back, knoxville pd caved and released the body cam footage of all four officers involved. The child was being restrained by two officers at the time he was shot.

and the Iraqi people welcomed the Americans with flowers. I wanted to set a historical event to teach Bush a lesson from the Iraqis, telling him you lied, we did not welcome you with flowers, and instead we are saying goodbye with our shoes.“

Muntaza Al Zaidi, the Iraqi reporter who became known as the guy who threw a shoe at Bush and later ended up in jail for three years because of it.
