This probably sounds obvious, but I learned today that prisoners aren't protected by OSHA regulations, and that this is another reason why employers are so eager to utilize this modern slavery. It's only a couple cents an hour, less transportation costs than the overseas sweatshops, and if you want people to work with hazardous materials without proper training? That's fine too! Prison labor is the ultimate free market solution!

I shouldn’t be surprised you fucking narcissistic shitlib creeps are making the destruction of Afghanistan at the hands of 40+ years of American imperialism starting with Operation Cyclone under Jimmy Carter about your little pissing match between the last two geriatric rapists to hold office but it still disgusts me.

The entire fucking United States government going back five seven presidential administrations is responsible for the destruction of Afghanistan. In a just world they’d all be rotting in a fucking hole.

so many westerners giving heartless, uninformed, and unsolicited opinions on afghanistan while ignoring the following:

the US government covertly provided schoolbooks for children that promoted militant and incorrect Islamic teachings and included images of weapons and soldiers in an effort to encourage a hatred of foreign invaders (i.e. the Soviets and evil communism) in children

“The school books, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books.”

excerpt from the book, titled “the alphabet of jihad” -> “All the Russians and infidels are our enemy. No one can invade our country. Only Muslim Afghans can rule over this country.”

the US financially supported the Taliban between 1994-1996 because Washington viewed the Taliban as anti-Iranian, anti-Shia and potentially pro-Western

Washington wanted Taliban support for the development of a US-based oil company Unocal - and so they stayed silent when the Taliban captured Herat in 1995, and expelled thousands of girls from schools (Rashid, 2000)

killed over 47,000 civilians

US forces massacred civilians deliberately on multiple occasions, such as the Kandahar massacre, where most of the victims were women and children civilians

routinely executed unarmed civilians by UK forces

targeting of hospitals in air strikes and bomb raids, such as this hospital in Kunduz

heavy usage of white phosphorus in civilian areas

killed afghan civilians ‘for sport’, multilated the bodies, posed with the bodies for pictures, and collected pieces for trophies

think before you speak.

The consequence of corporate greed

[mutualintelligibility-archive]

"It’s often unhealthy to hyper-analyze your sexuality to the point where how you experience it changes where you belong. This is why the idea that broader terms are somehow more restrictive is baffling. Continuously breaking labels down and creating terminology for each facet of one’s identity shrinks communities until it’s just one person convinced that they’re the only one who relates to their experiences. It isolates people and ignores the importance of individuality within a collective identity."

On Hyperpersonalized Sexual Identity

[barefeetinsoil]

The author also dropped some gems in the last paragraph of the short article:

[fleurite-archive]

[Image desc: Black text on white, reads as follows.

Having a plethora of specific atomized sexualities discourages broad alliances and forming solidarity over shared experiences. Instead, it forces people to over-analyze themselves and focus on how they're different from others rather than what they have in common with them. We should embrace the many ways we experience our attraction, not dissect them into different "types" that we mustn't ever conflate -- sectioning everyone off over the most minor contrasts does us no favors. We should approach sexual liberation with collectivism, not individualism.

End desc.]

One of the most revolting things about the Democratic Party is how often they fucking lie about having supported the Iraq War. They were chomping at the bit to kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, but when it became politically costly to support the war they IMMEDIATELY walked back their position to “I thought the war was prosecuted wrong,” as opposed to “this war was a crime against humanity,” because they’re spineless politicians who physically can’t be honest. People who don’t know about the Fallujah prison slavery or Abu Ghraib then say to your face “No one’s perfect” or “At least they changed their mind,” or worst of all, insist that people like Biden never supported that slaughterhouse in the first place, which they absolutely did. It is not enough to be critical of the war, you have to be full-throatedly AGAINST EVERY SINGLE WAR the US prosecutes, even if you think the other guy is real bad, because the US convinces its population to go to war by demonizing their opponents as the next Hitler.

The Bush administration had a mix of garbage and manufactured evidence, the Democrats were too lazy to read it and too cowardly to question it, therefore the US Military got to rain down white phosphorous and depleted uranium rounds on Iraqi villages. Anyone who dared question the United States’ god-given right to murder hundreds of thousands of civilians and destroy their electrical grid was a traitor or Saddam-sympathizer. The US would fire cruise missiles into apartment buildings on the suspicion that Saddam was inside, and guess what, he was never in a fucking apartment building.

breaking bad is the funniest show ever

[henstomper]

real scenes in breaking bad:

jesse’s friends talk about whether resident evil 4, call of duty nazi zombies, or left 4 dead is the best zombie game

walter and his son sit in their cars, which are parked in the driveway, furiously revving the engines

walter walks up to a kid eating cereal and says “fruit loops, huh? thats good stuff” (this is a few episodes after walt intentionally poisons the kid in question)

jesse plays Rage (2010) with a light gun

hank comes to the realization that his stepbrother is a meth cook while on the toilet

[henstomper]

a few i forgot about

hank is bedridden after surviving an attack by cartel hitmen, so he sits in bed and orders minerals online. which he grabs with a little grabbing claw/ whenever his wife calls them rocks he gets really hurt and makes it very clear that theyre actually minerals

theres a scene that goes on for like 5 minutes where one of walt & jesse’s dealers is trying to sell meth to a guy he suspects of being an undercover cop, and he says that if he asks him hes a cop he legally has to tell the truth. the guy says no and the dealer sells him meth and immediately gets arrested

danny trejo is in it for literally one scene, where he lays in bed in a nightgown and orders shit off of skymall that DEA guys buy for him

walt yells at jesse for bringing funyuns to a meth cook

jesse gokarts sadly

literally every scene saul is in

Happy 60th birthday to President Obama, born on this day, August 4, 1961.

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

Anyway, the former war criminal, mass deporter-in-chief is currently trying to gentrify Chicago’s South Side by building his vanity project “presidential library” in the middle of the historic Jackson Park despite protests from the local community. He even had the audacity to ask one of his millionaire friends to ask for “donations” for it from the plebs. So how about instead you donate to Protect Our Parks to keep this asshole from doing another shitty thing before he croaks.
