basically emotional manipulation and guilt tripping as social justice praxis is pointless and not sustainable imo. it doesn’t promote real growth or solidarity if the entire basis of your activism is stemming from guilt or fear

spritzeal:

#like it just ends with kids reblogging things they dont really understand #and not daring to ask for further information references or even just it in easier to digest terms #so then you get loads of well intentioned and paranoid kids shouting at each other using buzzwords they dont really get #while abusive people can easily slip in and co-opt the system for their own ends #slams fist on table #transparency and forgiveness in sj circles#slams fists over and over

[mikkeneko]

i’m especially upset by the pressure to reblog things immediately without fact-checking, expressing doubt is considered betrayal of the cause, so a lot of bad info gets boosted in a hurry

[thefloatingstone]

“expressing doubt is considered betrayal of the cause” You know…. SEVERAL irl cults spring to mind….. it didn’t end well for them

Literally anyone who’s read the results of any other time this experiment has been tried. Why are we still trying to prove the concept?

Universal basic income seems to improve employment and well-being

Finland’s two-year test of universal basic income has concluded that it doesn't seem to disincentivise working, and improves recipients’ men

[kayasurin]

We’re still trying to prove the concept because in the West, Big Business and their owners, The 1%, are screaming at the thought of having to give up a little money so everyone can get universal income that supports life - meaning jobs either have to pay you to put up with the literal shit or people can walk away from them without becoming homeless.

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

Our entire system is basically based on people being so afraid of homelessness and starvation that they’ll accept any shit job for shit pay.

Past experiments have shown that UBI:

Increases high school graduation rates

Reduces:

Domestic violence

Alcoholism

Emergency room visits related to mental health

Road traffic accidents.

All while not disincentivizing employment for most groups (the exceptions being high school students, who were able to focus on their studies, and new mothers…who were using it as maternity leave!)

People, for the most part, want to work.

UBI would allow us to expand the definition of “work.” If somebody can live off of UBI, then they can devote themselves to things which we don’t currently value financially such as the arts, raising children well, etc.

And if somebody wants to stay home and play video games all day…then so be it. Not that many will.,..and of those who do most will probably find some way to make that into their “work,” whether by providing play throughs and tutorials or competing seriously.

[jabberwockypie]

If somebody stops working all together as soon as they get UBI and stays home to play video games, they probably desperately needed a break.

There are so many people who are struggling with mental and physical illnesses, and chronic pain, who are still breaking themselves working because they don’t have another option - because it can take years to get on disability, and it’s not enough to survive on, so people keep going as long as they possibly can.

Even if it’s not a matter of disability, as such … people get burned out?

We’re not really built to do school and work with minimal breaks to the extent that we do.

Despite what our puritanical culture says, there’s no shame in needing a break.

[anarchapella]

The reason we don’t have UBI is not because it costs too much money like they say it’s because it would take away the leverage businesses have over their employees (starvation and death)

A person can remove this metal bar," a red arrow points to the metal bar in the middle of a metal park bench, "with this tool, called an allen wrench/hex key," a photo of the tool is beneath the text, "oh, yea, AND you can recycle the metal for your next meal," a heart with a cartoon face looks at a burrito hungrily, "this meme brought to you by Midwesterners Against the Middle Bar," is at the bottom left of the image in a little grey box. /end ID]

[chocolate-and-discourse]

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

[chocolate-and-discourse]

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

[spoopy-valkyrie]

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

I repeat: the definition of bisexual as “attraction regardless of gender” is at least 33 years old.

[cowardly-bisexual]

if you say that bisexuality means “attraction where gender is a factor” and pansexuality means “attraction regardless of gender” you are actively participating in biphobia and erasure of bisexuality and bisexual history
