I almost left a comment asking why anyone would have seasonal depression when it isn’t even winter. Then I remembered it is winter. It is 70°F but it is winter right now. Maybe I should be depressed.

Ai is new and added on top of that. Most of us have realized we aren’t gonna stop the military industrial complex unless there is a revolution

I was honestly posting this here in the hope that someone would explain it for me lmao

I wonder if the presentation of guns in fantasy anime is at all reflective of how the japanese first experienced black powder weapons. Maybe I am looking too far into it.

It should have been obvious that he was willingly in the pockets of the ultra wealthy. They crave immortality like an old chinese emporer with mercury poisoning.

Unfortunately classism is ever prevalent amongst us queers too. Typically more tolerant though which is nice.

Its an acutely exploitative labor relation that should be heavily regulated within a capitalist system in order to reduce the amount of abuse the people engaging in it experience. Ideally I want a system where no one feels a need to sell their body for a living. No one should be coerced into sexual relations.

Should I have?

He was first and foremost an opportunist. So, just like any american bourgeois.

I absolutely support people eating less animals and animal produced products

Just don’t call it veganism because that is not what it is

A lot of vegans are communists too. We want human exploitation to end just as much as animal exploitation. You will normally hear that rhetoric from liberal vegan “humans are the disease” ecofascist types. Granted, you cannot live under capitalism without human exploitation. I cannot eat most if not all foods without what I consider to be effectively slavery. It drives me mad.

This is such a conundrum for me because I absolutely support people eating less animals and animal produced products but veganism is not a diet it is a philisophy. You are not vegan if you do this and you should not call yourself vegan. Dilution of the term IS harmful. At its core veganism is the belief that animals should not be exploited for anything under any circumstances. They have every right to this earth as we do and it is our responsibility to insure their lives are not harmed by us.

Look into US involvement with the Tlatelolco massacre. It was effectively order by the US. If they are willing to do that to someone else they will eventually be willing to do that to you. The death count you see on wikipedia is almost certainly an understatement they locked them in a square and shot at them like fish in a barrel

That in response to Mexican government concerns over the security of the Olympic Games, the Pentagon sent military radios, weapons, ammunition and riot control training material to Mexico before and during the crisis.

The Olympia Battalion members wore white gloves or white handkerchiefs tied to their left hands to distinguish themselves from the civilians and prevent the soldiers from shooting them

Captain Ernesto Morales Soto stated that “immediately upon sighting a flare in the sky, the prearranged signal, we were to seal off the aforementioned two entrances and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.”

The soldiers responded by firing into the nearby buildings and into the crowd, hitting not only the protesters, but also watchers and bystanders. Demonstrators and passersby alike, including students, journalists (including Italian reporter Oriana Fallaci), and children, were hit by bullets, and mounds of bodies soon lay on the ground.

Olympia Battalion members pushed people and ordered them to lie on the ground near the elevator walls. People claim these men were the people who shot first at the soldiers and the crowd.

Video evidence also points out that at least two companies of the Olympia Battalion hid themselves in the nearby apartment buildings and set up a machine gun in an apartment in the Molino del Rey Building

Thousands of students gathered in the square and, as you say, the government version is that the students opened fire. Well, there’s been pretty clear evidence now that there was a unit that was called the Brigada Olímpica, or the Olympic Brigade, that was made up of special forces of the presidential guard, who opened fire from the buildings that surrounded the square, and that that was the thing that provoked the massacre.

U.S. officials stood resolutely by Díaz Ordaz after Tlatelolco

in a review of “contingency scenarios” drafted by the U.S. Embassy in November, the ambassador urged Washington to be prepared to grant financial assistance and economic support packages to Mexico in the event of continued or increased student violence, as a way of showing U.S. support for the regime.

Finally, not one document declassified by the U.S. government discusses at any length evidence that government agents operating as snipers from the windows of the Tlatelolco apartment complex may have initiated the massacre of October 2

Saw it last night. Genuinely a fantastic indie horror for its production cost and it being Markiplier’s first major film (as in shown in theaters). 7.5/10 on the scale of all movies I’ve seen but 9/10 given its context of production. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Your hair is stunning

Everything is a distraction from everything else. The point is to overwhelm you

Slavery will do that sometimes

Do you think a vegan scatophile would request that the shitter only eats plant based food beforehand?
