Or, to some extent, how ND kids are treated at any school. We weren’t physically abused where I went but it was obvious that we weren’t wanted. most of the kids like me I grew up with have already OD’d or killed themselves in adulthood

George didn’t like the original Greedo footage they shot in London so they did reshoots in LA with George’s Assistant playing Greedo. I guess she liked her heels

The breaker, I would suspect, isn’t rated to protect that flimsy little cord this thing plugs into the wall with

Or Greedo’s heels

People to whom justice isn’t more than an aesthetic. I’ve seen people also turn being gay, or feminine, or poor, or overweight into an insult to hurl at people after making a point of being an ally

Billionaires are oppressors and exploiters, killers of the planet and the people alike, not sure why those can’t be the insults we use and we have to resort to thing that reinforce these social hierarchies

It was simply money all along

Fun fact: Alaska was invaded a little bit by Japan during WW2. On Attu Americans suffered heavy casualties from the weather and basically all of the Japanese force was killed in battle. On Kiska there was a pretty bad skirmish between US and Canadian forces resulting from mistaken identity and a ship hit a stray seamine before they found out the island was abandoned anyway. So a real bad time all around but still not really affecting industrial wellness

But it’s also goofy in Skyrim when they keep much better gear in chests while attacking you with fur armor on

That’s an interesting take. One on one side the death is a haphazard byproduct and on the other it is at least motivated by someone. Somebody has to have a vision for why these weapons need to be used. I’d argue though that in the case of Amazon, wether or not it’s of any priority to them, the suffering would be something worth ironing out over time whereas, for weapons companies, it’s the entire product they sell

Yeah but profiting off of starvation, homelessness or sickness is slightly less concerned with destroying human life efficiently, more so extracting value from suffering. Far harder to wiggle your way out of a bomb dropping on you. In that way, defense contractors are especially gross imo. I guess you could argue being blown apart may be more humane though idk

I think communities can just take care of each other. Bakers make bread, plumbers lay pipe, gardeners sow plants and those that love each other make sure they’re taken care of. You wouldn’t be able to be an asshole that just takes from the world around you because nobody would have a reason to make sure your water is running. Your time is compensated by a social contract

Capitalism doesn’t free us from any of that, community does. It’s standing on the shoulders of giants and advancing our understanding of the world that saves infants and puts food on tables. Not people who own the tools skimming off the top from the people that do the work

Unfortunately it really isn’t that profound. It exists everywhere and thinking you’re immune to being ruled by it is usually the first step in it proliferating

I volunteer as tribute

And then what will they campaign on next time! They all secure their jobs by not doing them

That’s when the CIA comes knocking

The revolution will not be brought to you by xerox without commercial interruption, the revolution will not go better with coke, the revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath, the revolution will put you in the driver’s seat

I do wish we had more of these but they were made by machinegames who just put out the new Indiana Jones game which has been favourably received. I’ve been meaning to check it out

It’s bad in the richest bluest states too. Unless you’re living in the suburbs going to a district that serves upper class families, the education system in the US will invariably fail you in one way or another
