where did all you western anti-work ‘socialists’ come from anyway. you want the ‘to each according to their need’ and forgot the ‘from each according to their ability’. “I do not dream of labour” ok, but you do dream of living well. so what you really want is someone else to labour for you, which makes you indistinguishable from any bourgeois capitalist you claim to despise. the consumerist-oriented ‘fully automated luxury space communism’ bullshit has truly rotted people’s brains. you want all the trappings of excess but you want the brunt of creation of that excess to be on someone else. well congratulations, you already live in an imperialist society. you have that. someone else is already harvesting your vegetables, sewing your clothes, mining the cobalt for your electronics. all you want is more, easier access to those things.

I get it on some level, especially as someone who has worked alienating, minimum wage jobs in which I have absolutely no stake other than the necessity of getting money to pay rent. but it’s not the work. it’s the capitalism. I do not dream of labouring to the benefit of a boss who steals my own time from me, or to pay for the militarism of my government, or even to contribute to a hypothetical pension for a hypothetical retirement. but I do dream, intensely, of labour: labour that won’t kill me, and contributes meaningfully to a society I am proud of; a society not driven by profit for a few, that exists to meet the needs of everyone around me. we do not live in that society. but if we want to make it, labour will exist, and not just menial physical labour but an extraordinary amount of mental and social labour, almost none of which will ever be replaced by automation, and that is not a bad thing.

Propaganda made by the allies of WW1 of what could happen to the United States if the axis won.

the way informed consent for hrt has to be phrased is so funny like warning: taking these drugs will make you extremely sexy and solve all your problems. the effects are irreversible

Or.

Potentially ruin your organs for a procedure that you might not need, because your queer math teacher convinced you wearing cargo pants made you trans.

It’s not as simple as either of our posts imply, but ignoring that HRT can absolutely be harmful and/or being pushed onto someone who is just going through a faze is bullshit at best and public endangerment at worst.

its true i was the queer math teacher with organ failure

It’s almost like you didn’t read 50% of the post. Go continue indoctrinating ignorant teenagers into your cult, jackass.

the twitter communists currently are getting mad because some random undergrads made an edible burrito tape bc they should instead be doing medical research

i had to work hard to make sure the similarly corrosive take of “only few people in the world make their own food” also fit in the screenshot

btw the vaccine in question is a cancer treatment (ie. not a preventative/immunization) similar to another one already also used in the US and is currently undergoing clinical trials in the US.

Okay, but also the tape is getting glossed over a lot. Seriously, food safe tape could be revolutionary for people with poor mobility/one hand or any other kind of disabilities that don't have the ability to hold something closed while they eat it. This is really beneficial to a lot of people and pretending it isn't simply because it doesn't cure cancer is pretty stupid.

Also what's wrong with wanting to eat tape? Pure utilitarianism is the enemy of fun.

We’re so lucky they filmed Lord of the Rings when they did. Twenty years later, they would’ve had Viggo Mortensen riding a green bike that they CGI into a horse because that’s better for some reason.
