If one is an "anti tankie", then it must follow that one must be against these kinds of policies.
Progressives and leftists DREAM of having these things. But they're committed to being against the tankies.
They have yet to demonstrate how the masses are supposed to get these benefits by negotiating and appealing to the good graces of capitalists.
But they're TERRIFIED at the prospect that the people.may do these exact things AT GUNPOINT. As if they know those guns are meant for them.
This stuff right here is worth preserving. I love to cook. But I also only like to cook if it's for more than just me.
It's really just a very basic human love language. Damn near primordial. It says; I am aware of hunger and I am aware of the joys of a full belly. And since I have the power to prevent you from feeling hunger; I will do that.
To be THIS MAD over a woman wanting to feed her knuckle headed neighbors is stunning.
Where I work, we used to do unsanctioned pot lucks. Outside the mandates of management. Stuff like that builds solidarity. I have older women coworkers who straight up feed me and on return; I usually find myself making sure I do most the heavy lifting in my job specifically for them because they're older and I dont wanna see my coworkers risk hurting themselves.
It aint patriarchy for women to cook for men. It's patriarchy to MAKE women cook for men as a prescriptive expectation of gender roles.
Why be angry at women who WANT to be motherly?
It bothers me that Chinchillazilla looks familiar. I could swear we used to hang out in the same clubs.
Cant be fhe same person.
