Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

I’m so confused by Stranger Things being featured for pride month on Netflix like. Huh??? Sure there are gay characters but yall literally queerbaited the audience what

yourlocalbadgerscales

they broke up the one queer couple that had off-screen and literally gave no reason for it other than that it would've been "unrealistic" for them to stay together, they only introduced one half of said ship in season four and she got like three minutes of screentime in total in the whole show and no arc or importance outside of that relationship whatsoever, and this relationship (between two girls) was used as a plot device for the shitty excuse of a sexuality arc of the only other queer character (a gay guy) who was pretty much just forced to accept that in order to find love and a sense of belonging he had to move away not only from his hometown but also from all of his friends and family, and also he'd just have to live with the fact that his feelings for his best friend that he had throughout the whole show never got addressed and the issues that came with it never got resolved and his possible future queer joy was left to the imagination even though his queer suffering was highlighted time and time again on-screen and he was basically reduced to it, leading to his character being sidelined in the show that literally started and was supposed to end with him... but whatever.

90shorrorpaperback

The queer rep in Stranger Things is what you could have expected to see in a "progressive" show that aired in 1990. A sapphic couple get together towards the end of the show, have extremely limited screen time, and predominantly exist to support a male character's arc.

And a gay guy whose sexuality isn't confirmed until the absolute last minute. Whose storyline ends with some straight people accepting him and a hint that maybe he'll get a boyfriend in the future. Which of course they can't show any development for onscreen, because they might scare the fragile little cishet white men in the audience.
