This is the exact same shit they said about the Viet Minh while incinerating millions of civilians in Southeast Asia. Fascist propaganda never changes.

Meanwhile, Isreal hides behind it’s entire population and uses the conflict it drafts them into as an excuse to commit genocide. Suck a tailpipe, genocide lover.

That’s 2Password2Remember, they sign off every comment that way. It’s surprisingly relevant a lot of the time, though: America has had an almost unrivaled hand in shaping the economic landscape of Japan, from the San Francisco Treaty to the Plaza Accords

I am hearing more and more stories like this that collectively add up to a very bleak picture of terminal institutional rot beneath a nanometer-thin facade

Also I live with one of those bootlickers and all their opinions are exactly as myopic, contrarian and self-aggrandizing as you would think

Looking at it another way, this is the result of the market pricing people out of normal conversation

Not just positions that can be abused, but positions that are fundamentally abusive no matter how good the individual occupying them may be

I’m not sure if this is just hilariously optimistic, or some kind of sinister and deliberate murder-by–urban-planning

One time in middle school a kid who had been messing with me jumped me on the way out the gates at the end of the day. Neither of us was seriously hurt, but both of us were taken to the office and suspended. When I told them he had attacked me, they responded with “Yes but what did you do to de-escalate the situation?” And it’s like, motherfucker my introduction to the situation was a foot in the back!

That was one of the first times even my parents, who I had struggled with as well, took my side against some school bullshit.

Hell I’d say your double right, accidents are definitely influenced by the system that precipitates them. Redundant safety features, emergency protocol training, protective gear, preventative maintainance…under our current system, all of these things cost money, and since profit is the primary motive, they will be the first things to be slashed when say, the price of energy goes up and they decide to maintain profits by cutting overhead.

Half the episodes on Well There’s Your Problem are “this vital part was removed or left unmaintained for legal or financial reasons until it caused an explosive train derailment.”

…was pretty fucking scary. So was not being able to shoot after getting pepper spray in my eyes

Now is a good time to learn from the misfortune of others: if you’re armed at a protest, then you’ve taken on the responsibility of protection, either just for yourself or for others as well. It is therefore your duty not to be disabled by something as common as pepper spray. Get some goggles and don’t go up front without em.

Those positions of power exist to serve a function in the machinery of capital, which means that even the best-intentioned people filling them only have the ability to act in it’s (and their) immediate interests. Unfortunately the system isn’t fundamentally broken, it’s excelling beyond all initial expectations-at what it’s actually designed for. Things are now breaking down because the various contradictions and feedback loops of it’s destructive economic methods are piling up, like a huge lobster suffocating under the weight of it’s shell.

This is only outrageous if you don’t consider the lives of thousands more Palestinians as worth as much. Isreal has already far exceeded that number in Gazan families shredded by bombs and crushed by rubble. I wonder why western news doesn’t talk about them?
