How much of the “i hate being an adult” is really just feeling the crushing preasure of capitalism

[aspiringhuman-deactivated202010]

Bruh like all of it

her husband is a fascist encouraging the revitalization of imperial japanese ideals and hardline denying the rape of nanking and the bataan death march. he’s been funding far-right private schools, curtailing public services, and cracking down on public dissent. most disturbing of all, he’s been pushing for the recreation of a standing peacetime japanese military, something banned by the constitution since wwii. the abe family is literally no different than trump.

To hold a pen is to be at war.

Voltaire (via wordsnquotes)

[fandomsandfeminism]

Humans are a communal species that have banded together and cared for their sick, disabled, and elderly since before we were ever modern man. Resources were shared even as skills specialized. 

Capitalism isn’t natural. A community should not have members dying of starvation or exposure while there is an abundance of resources. That isn’t how it works. That isn’t how it’s supposed to work.

[g-taire]

ok so my roommates are anthropology students and their favorite example for debunking the ‘survival of the fittest’ bs is shanidar 1. (x, x, x)

shanidar 1 is a neanderthal who, at a pretty young age, was hit in the head hard enough to blind him. this also led to that side of his brain shutting down and withering his right arm, and possibly crippling his entire right side. not only that but his skeleton also shows that at some point, he broke a bone in his foot and, in addition to the other factors, resulted in a noticeable limp. there are some sources which say he likely had degenerative diseases. (arthritis was really common in neanderthals) 

going off of widespread ideas of “”primitive”” (no longer the word used in anthropology/academia to describe early-modern humans) societies, shanidar probably died really young, deliberately abandoned or killed. i mean, he was severely crippled, blind, etc., he couldn’t contribute anything, he would have been a “”burden to society””, right? 

except he lived to be between 40 and 50 years old. (about ~80 in human years)

this means that his social group had to have taken care of him for a minimum of two or three decades without his ‘contributing’ anything significant to the group. this discovery (and Shanidar III’s) was huge because it basically proves that early humans had a concept of hospice. early modern humans cared for the sick and the elderly, greatly extending their lifespan, simply because they cared. 

tl;dr: the concept of someone needing to be ‘’useful’’ or ‘’’productive’’’ in society in order to be valued and cared for is a very modern concept and our quasi-predecessors would be ashamed 

[ekjohnston]

Also, Shanidar I was buried with flowers. They cared about him after he was dead, too.

the fact that balthier is 22 years old is the biggest thing from ff to mess me up since I found out how zidane’s name was supposed to be pronounced

[weavemama]

FAFSA is so fucking greedy and inconsiderate of students who just want to get an affordable education

[weavemama]

lmao @ people dragging FAFSA for their bullshit qualifications: 

[annieskywalker]

FUCK FAFSA

[bootymacaroni]

The amount of times I cussed out people in financial aid and FAFSA while I was in college was ridiculous. It makes no sense why it’s so fucking difficult to get an education in the fucked up country.

[lazyscience]

oh it makes PERFECT sense if you consider that the endgame isn’t to make people educated, it’s to make them employable. And to make sure people are locked into jobs as young as possible and absolutely fucking terrified to do anything that might cause them to become unemployable, like union organizing, protest or civil disobedience, because they’ve got the threat of tens of thousands of dollars in debt hanging over their heads if they can’t keep up with the payments.
