Debt: the First 5000 Years by David Graeber. He debunks the standard narrative of “barter, then hard currency, then systems of credit” that is commonly taught when discussing the history of economics, and goes into the conflation of financial debt and spiritual debt, leading to society placing moral weight on someone being in financial debt.

The irony of using a meme featuring John “the CIA is really cool, actually” Krasinsky for this message.

Some Minnesotans just sound like that.

I want those things too. I don’t even wear dresses, I just think women should have pockets and cute dresses if they want them.

Not surprising that the evidence contradicts the administration’s claims, because they constantly lie.

Cops are on the side of the cops. Don’t be fooled by copaganda where local police are pushing against the feds or the DoJ put a local police department under a consent decree. We need to be pushing to abolish the police and let these violent assholes try to get away with their bullshit when they don’t have their gang with them.

I suspect that depending on the era in Soviet history, guys like this would be held more accountable than we currently do for cops and feds. The Kremlin wouldn’t be okay with subordinates just willy-nilly murdering people, they gave orders on who to murder.

I know this is just emphasizing it but I don’t know how anyone saw “white lives matter” as anything other than anti-black rhetoric.

Like, I can believe that a genuinely ignorant but well-intentioned liberal thought “all lives matter” was valid because they were more concerned with being nice than real justice, but “white lives matter” could never be anything other than racist.

He makes you laugh, maybe even think. The cop is just a thug for capital.

I picture a bunch of grass that’s not doing anything useful. If golf changed the rules to mandate native plants for courses, naturally maintained (eg, no lawnmowers or sprinklers) I’d be slightly less than 100% opposed to its continued existence but that seems unlikely.

A food forest.

It wouldn’t be as bad if there were things to look forward to.

I don’t have an attic to hide anyone in but I’m doing what I can for my trans siblings.

The analogy I heard the other day was: It’s like assuming every gun is loaded. Of course not every gun is loaded, but for your own safety you should act like every one is. Of course not every guy is going to pressure you about sex or possibly commit SA but for your safety you should act like every one is.

Yeah, I’ve always felt he was mid but likable until that moment.

I remember going to see Punch Drunk Love, and the utter confusion on the faces of people coming out of the earlier showing. They had clearly gone to see an Adam Sandler movie, not a PT Anderson movie.

The US got deference in so many aspects of foreign policy for so long because it was willing to use soft power to protect allies. Why the hell should any of our traditional allies support us if we plan to throw them under the bus whenever support is inconvenient?

Seems like a solid case, a lot of the critiques addressed in the video seem based on the most visually separated representation of solarpunk and not the depictions rooted in the hard sciences.

The first part I’m not against, means-testing benefit programs makes them more susceptible to being destroyed through small cuts here and there because not everyone benefits in the first place. If democrats actually wanted to win, they could respond with “we shouldn’t discriminate, let’s make the benefit universal, you just need to use a childcare center who accepts our rate.”

How much do you want to bet that tightening licenses for childcare providers is a nonstarter for republicans because it would mean shutting down virtually all church-based childcare centers?
