It's a fantastic point, but John Boyega's net worth also puts him at $6 million. When he says eat the rich, he isn't safe either...

[neon-classical]

There’s a pretty big fucking difference between six million and one trillion lmao

Not to mention the way the money was made

An actor being paid for a role / doing some advertising is a world away form a man setting up a cooperate money machine that horrendously exploits workers

[dr-dendritic-trees]

This is something I hate SO MUCH about how tumblr talks about money.

Like, I get that famous actors have large amounts of money, some of them are even probably overpaid (I have complicated thoughts about how actors are paid because of the nature of acting as a career), but they are exchanging labor for money, and their salaries are an expense involved in making a movie.

But like... an actor is paid for a job. They’re a worker like the rest of us. Bezos isn’t paid for a job, he’s paid for being the person who owns Amazon and despite being obscenely wealthy, he does all sorts of shitty things and to underpay and exploit his workers, and avoid paying taxes, so that more of the money Amazon generates will be profit (worker’s salaries are not profit, they’re a business expense). 

These two mechanisms of acquiring money are fundamentally very different. 

The reason why billionaires are evil aren’t because having money is bad, its because to get a billion dollars you have to cheat. You have to take it from someone else. If Bezos paid all his workers and suppliers fairly and treated them well, and paid his fair amount of taxes, and etc, then it literally wouldn’t matter how much money he earned, because he wouldn’t be doing anyone any harm. But its not actually possible to amass a billion dollars (a full order of magnitude bigger than a million) while behaving in an ethical manner.

so you'd vote for trump over biden or just not vote at all

if biden gets nominated i will be wasting exactly none of my energy on the 2020 elections. i’ll be doing other things for sure but i won’t be voting and i absolutely won’t be campaigning for biden

[haiimrowie]

I get where you’re coming from but if Biden does win the primaries you have to ask yourself if he’s really worse than Trump, who stirs up his voterbase with fearmongering so any vote for the Dem nominee helps. I agree that Biden is shite but is he the worser of two evils?

[cumbrane]

yes.

[property-is-theft-deactivated20]

Biden is worse because he’ll do the exact same shit Trump is but liberals won’t give a fuck because its not “cheeto guy”

[darklingdawns]

No. Fucking hell, no! This has got to stop, right the fuck now!

I absolutely don’t support Biden, and I will be doing my level best to ensure he isn’t the nominee, but I would sure as shit rather have him than Trump. I wouldn’t fear that Biden’s going to kick off a war because he feels like no one takes him seriously. I wouldn’t worry about Biden stripping my rights away simply because I say I think he’s doing a shit job. I wouldn’t cringe every single time I see a news clip, wondering what new national embarrassment is about to unleash itself. With Biden, we aren’t going to get the push for the things we know we need, like Medicare For All, but we also won’t get all the shit we know we do NOT need, like an authoritarian president who sucks up to dictators while he actively harms Americans with his policies.

Biden may hurt me through neglect. Trump seeks to hurt me through action. If I absolutely must choose between the two alternatives, I’ll take the first every time. And if you don’t vote, then you’re helping achieve the second, and believe me, all of us who are hurt through Trump’s actions? We will remember this. We will remember you. And we will never let you forget it.

Decisions are made by those who show up. Don’t listen to this shit - put your big kid pants on and deal. VOTE. VOTE BLUE, then put the pressure on your reps and senators to make the change we all want and need.

[friendraichu]

Let’s be real Biden FUCKING SUCKS but if he becomes the nominee he’s still not gonna be worse than 4 more years of Trump. He’s just not.

[gasmeros]

[vespertineflora]

[ID: image of a hand pointing with text written on it that says, “When you skip voting… It’s not rebellion. It’s surrender.”]

[lopoddityart]

Apathy is our enemy! Giving up and not voting isn’t an act of rebellion, because the only people it benefits are our oppressors. I don’t like Biden, not his politics nor his political history, but if he gets the nomination I am 100% driving to the polls to vote for that crusty bitch. I’d rather have a ‘meh’ president than one who threatens war, allows his party to block healthcare reform (letting millions die of preventable illness, forcing people to go with life-saving meds because prices aren’t capped), lies on the daily, does fuck all about climate change, and plays buddy buddy with white supremacists.

Don’t give up! Your vote has power!

GET IT KING

[firstgrave]

gay ppl pushing for a Pete bootyleg presidency just bc they want a gay president is so funny bc it’s literally like “yes im aware this will lead to widespread homophobia in the news and online and in debates and from other leaders as well as our own but im willing to deal with it because im that passionate about having a shitty president who won’t fix anything”

[firstgrave]

like this man rly:

-supports the invasion of Afghanistan

-said he wants to make a mandatory one-year service law for 18year olds

-objected to the pardoning of Chelsea Manning

-“Medicare for all who want it” bc he still supports private insurances

-is a “committed supporter of Israel”

-wants to increase defense spending

-the racial disaparity in marijuana arrests in his corner of Indiana is higher than national average and higher than Indiana average as well

-against voting rights for ppl incarcerated

[keimeetsmorales]

-faked black support for his Douglass Plan in South Carolina. Half the people on the list are white, and the prominent black endorses never actually endorsed him and of course it was practically ignored by everyone in the mainstream media. Thank the lord for independent media

He’s shady and can’t be trusted. He has no real stance on anything because as long as his donors have a say in everything, he will always work for them and them only

[homoluigi]

We should say that the way he got Black endorsers is to email them and say if you don't reply in X hours saying otherwise we'll count as a supporter

We should start posting more banned history about the US. I know most people are unaware of the facts that aren’t taught and banned from the education system. All minority groups have had their fair share of oppression by the US and everyone should know.

[care-or-lynn]

Could someone please provide captions

[cisphobicmac]

I did my best! Corrections are appreciated if I made any errors.

-Caption start-

(The main speaker starts to speak):

Alo!* My name is Tiare Kolo.

I’m back in 1893. The Hawaiian monarchy was illegally overthrown by the United States of America.

Oh! But wait, they did not come empty handed.

(Second person shows up in the background to say) :

Wait what?

(Main speaker resumes speaking after second speaker leaves):

With them they brought STI’s, multiple diseases, foreign plants and animals, locked our queen up in her own room, forced her to sign a treaty, and stole all of our land.

A hundred and twenty years later, the leases have expired to those land claims. Whose to say the native Hawaiian people aren’t finally going to get their land back? Whose to say the foreigners are going to keep it for themselves? And whose to say that Governor Ige isn’t money laundering five million dollars to help build the thirty meter telescope on Mauna Kea, which is a sacred mountain to the Hawaiian people, and the purest water source on the big island. But that’s a secret he’ll never tell.

Stayed tuned on episode two of Hawaiian Desecration.

-caption end-

*It sounds like “allo” to me. I originally put hello because some accents say hello like that (I had a disclaimer here because I wasn’t sure). I was confused if it was hello or aloha because I didn’t know some people abbreviated aloha, but I knew some accents say “allo” instead of hello. Someone from Hawaii DM’d me and said that “Alo” is a cute abbreviated way to say Aloha! Thanks so much to the kind person who DM’d me!

I also want to note that the full name of the Governor of Hawaii is David Yukata Ige.

You weren't ugly 10 years ago, you were a kid, or a teenager, or just a human person. 10 years ago cameras weren't that good. We still used CDs. People had flip phones. 10 years ago Instagram wasn't a thing. I hate to say it but every year we spent perfecting our social media presence is not a glow up. A grainy picture of you just existing in the era before curated existence next to a perfectly lit and framed "candid" is not an accurate comparison... Be nicer to your younger self, man. Think about what it's telling the kids.

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.
