Corporate media fabricates a 'surge' of 'crime', yet fails to mention surge in police violence.

“The U.S. cages Black people at 6 times the rate of South Africa at the height of Apartheid.”

Let that sink in, and then don’t even come trying to say there’s no systemic racism.

DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO CEREAL!!!

Listen in the past the poor have had to improvise cheap food the rich never wanted as a means to survive. And over the many years of innovation made the food taste good until eventually the rich where like: “Oh hay you actually like that garbage? Why on earth would you like it?” Then they try it, love it, start buying it, and then drive the price up so much it becomes a luxury good.

They do this and its devastating, the food typically never becomes affordable again. It don’t matter how cheap the foo dis to produce, it doesn’t matter if there is almost no meat on the bone or its super difficult to eat and messy. Once the poor discover how to make some bit of cheap food taste good, the rich take it away via driving the price of it up.

THEY DID THIS TO RIBS.

Ribs were garage meat. Just look at them, there is hardly any meat on the bone, you have to eat them by hand usually, and they are messy. They where an undesirable cheap source of junk meat. But the poor being the poor made them taste good. (Because they don’t have much to choose from.) The rich discovered the meals the poor made with them and decided they liked ribs too. People discovered they could sell a few ribs to rich people and make way more money then selling lots of ribs to poor people and the price was driven up.

DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO CEREAL!!!

They did the same to brisket.  You used to be able to get brisket for less than a dollar a pound, which meant you could get a twenty pound brisket fairly cheaply.  And then you smoked it, sliced it, and had meat for weeks if not a full month.  And it was tasty.  I grew up eating brisket at least once a month because my family could afford it.

It was a cheap meat because no rich person looks at the dangly part of the neck of a cow and goes ‘ooh, that looks tasty!’.

But then Food Network started showcasing things like barbecued brisket.  Rich people started showing up at places that weren’t just Rib Crib to get their barbeque.  And the price of brisket went up.  A lot.

I regularly see it for over five dollars a pound in stores now.  And while yeah, that might not seem like a lot when you’re talking only a pound or two of meat, brisket is normally sold in ten to twenty pound sizes.  It’s become completely unaffordable to the people that made it delicious.

Sushi used to be really cheap, too, until it became ‘trendy’.  Guess why you’re now paying twelve dollars for your order of California rolls?  Because rich people discovered something that poor people had been eating for ages.

Noticed the prices of fajita meat, chicken thighs, or ham hocks has gone up recently?  You guessed it.  Rich people are taking our food and now we’re scrambling to afford the things that we grew up eating.

Lobster is a perfect example of this phenomenon.  For hundreds of years, lobster was regarded as a sort of insect larvae from the depth of the sea. It had zero appeal as a “luxury food” until people living in NY and Boston developed a taste for it. Before the 19th century, it was considered a “poverty food” or used as fertilizer and bait - some household servants specified in employment agreements that they would not eat lobster more than twice a week. It was also commonly served at prisons, which tells you something about prison food.

Only by cleverly marketing lobster as an indulgence for the privileged made it cost so much. It became a vehicle for enormous profit spawning a multi-billion dollar global industry in the process. This mythical affection for lobster flesh - not its practical value in terms of taste, nutrition, or any other reasonable consideration - drives its value.

Food gentrification is a long standing practice and it’s some of the most evil shit I can think of. It’s why I refuse for example as someone living in the US to buy things with Quinoa in them. It is specifically pricing an indigenous population out of their prime staple food. It’s a horrific invasion of one of the final requirements of staying alive.

Turns out those ludicrous extremes were never ludicrous at all. The ultra rich will let the world burn to the ground so long as they get to feel like the World’s Most Special Boy in the flames.

Don’t despair...organize and agitate!

The capitalist system is failing, and has shown itself to be extremely vulnerable to crises and disaster.

It has waged war on the poor and working class, destabilized the environment and eroded every social relationship it encounters. It is possible to destroy capitalism to save the planet and our communities, but not without solidarity, mutual aid and direct action.

To be effective at war is to gain as many allies and as much information as possible. It is important to not wait for organizations to find you, or give you permission to make an impact under their own terms.

Organize your communities, workplaces, friend groups, classrooms. Share relevant information and resources freely. Agitate the capitalist system at all levels, with all methods available and desirable.

Here are some good places to start:

Organizing the Workplace

Leftist/socialist mumbo jumbo (definition of certain leftist terminology you’ll frequently encounter)

40 street legal anti-fascist actions

Recipes for disaster (anarchist cookbook)

what would an anarchist program look like?

Youtubers: Leaflets, ivie_online, Venus Youngblood, intelexual media, Thoughtslime, Anark, Mexie, noncompete, afro Marxist, Mia mulder

Omggg what if we started a tumblr dreamscape to face the horrors of our subconscious together!

[grimeclown]

No but guys really we could all take turns hosting the dream it would be like an everlasting slumber party while we fight futilely against the violent machinations of our worst nightmares omg omg omg

My mom said this would NEVER work so help me prove a point: reblog if you would help me peel back the layers of our collective psyche and stand firm, teeth gritted, to challenge whatever crawls out

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

[03josten]

oh my god i’m so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it

[03josten]

would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this

[godspeedyoublackemperor]

i know we're all probably past realizing this but can you believe that science has come to a point where we're coming up with all of these way better and way less harmful alternatives to things like plastic just for them to never be implemented on a large scale and instead be used in small and impractical situations that provide net zero benefit just because the companies that do produce plastic don't want to let go of their stranglehold on the markets.

[godspeedyoublackemperor]

this is what we mean when we say "capitalism prevents innovation" in all of its ability to apply to the real world and not in some weird theoretical context. at the end of the day, capitalists want to turn a profit. and they can't do that unless they buy out all the competition. going back to our plastic example, pretty much every executive in the plastic industry can agree that any widespread alternate to their product is gonna hurt their profits, so they can either choose to completely reform their companies and produce the alternative, or they can take the easy route and just spawn kill any plastic alternative kickstarter. this is what lenin meant by monopolies; it's not just one company, but a number of companies that can all agree that anything outside of their jurisdiction is Bad and needs to be neutralized. it's how entire industries can thrive despite the general population knowing that what they're doing is bad.
