It's a bit complicated because "learn about the world and make more money" as a pitch for uni is enabled by the current neoliberal economic order, whereby labor-intensive manufacturing, agricultural, mining etc. jobs have been largely outsourced to third world nations with poor labor protections.

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

A lot of the political rhetoric around appealing to young men boils down to reinforcing a hierarchy where white men benefit from the unrecognized and unpaid labor of women and other marginalized people on their behalf. That hierarchy still exists but anything that threatens it must go

"Rape is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear."

But asking young men to behave as if they are responsible to others is indeed an attack on masculinity, at least so far as masculinity is defined as the entitlement to behave with indifference to others' dignity and wellbeing.

Rape—as an act of domination that symbolically annihilates the personhood of the target and elevates the attacker to a Godlike position of sadistic power—is the paradigm from which conservatives elaborate their worldview.

In the UK this week I kept encountering people who were like "So when is Trump going to drop Stephen Miller. Because obviously the racism is not sincere and was just a cynical electoral ploy" and I had to be like "No these people are sincere and avowed eugenicists. Like they are being serious."

Excess deaths in the United States remained elevated in 2022 & 2023 compared to peer countries after the peak of the pandemic. This is not surprising considering the state of the US healthcare system & Biden's attacks on public health. I expect it to worsen under Trump & RFK Jr. #Medsky

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Mark Pocan just blew the lid off a MAGA cover-up: FOUR Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm Trump’s cabinet after their families got death threats from MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism - and it’s infecting the GOP from inside.

Folks are up in arms about how Trump is for sale, with the crypto dinner & plane being the latest examples, but, on a smaller scale, these are just more public examples of what AIPAC has done to nearly all other politicians. In so many ways, Trump is a result of much deeper, longstanding problems.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

Just as with masks, the whole “we just don’t want mandates” lie has now collapsed around the COVID19 vaccine. These people are the same charlatans who claim they are all about medical “choice”. Then they take the choice away from us.

Boycotting large chains is a privilege. Protesting is a privilege. Moving States or countries is a privilege. Prepping is a privilege. Growing your own food is a privilege. Stockpiling meds is a privilege. Far too many of the “solutions” to fascism are inaccessible to many disabled people.
