I stare at my friends because they are works of art and the lights of my life not because I want to fuck them
"Friends don't look at friends that way" I think some of you just need to be nicer to your friends.
i admire your combination of patience and firmness when fielding questions from the peanut gallery, but i do still also find it hilarious when randoms will pop into your askbox at 11am on a tuesday asking you shit like “is existence ontologically prior to essence?” as if you’re about to clear the whole mess up.
I was talking with a colleague the other day, who is an educator, and they were like "wow you've really refined your pedagogy" and I said "imagine trying to explain 14th century religious hermeneutics to a theater of 80,000 Philomena Cunks who hate you and are racist. Talking to actual experts feels like taking off the Rock Lee leg weights."
if you love it, put a leash on it~~
Trying to look this man in the eye after looking at the art I was pulling up in the vc yesterday
Merry Christmas 🎄
I love how liberal criticisms of Marxism always boil down to a game of peekaboo where capital moves the worst forms of exploitation to different nonwhite countries and liberals can’t see it anymore and assume it disappeared. It’s falling for the most basic illusions that run throughout Marx’s entire body of work
“Nooooo the slavery in chocolate supply chains is just an exception to our totally fair and consensually free exchange of goods”
“Nooooo China is an evil socialist nation wdym our global capitalist economy depends on the exploitation of 300 million intraregional Chinese migrant workers who are barred from forming independent labor unions and arrested for demanding better living conditions”
“International trade is about nations exchanging goods based on comparative advantage. No I will not look into how that means one company shipping its products around the globe and different stages of the production process to countries where workers are more easily controlled and violently suppressed. It’s actually good because it means I can buy a temu haul every week”
also this teehee
no matter how you examine a bar of chocolate, there's no indication of the exploitation that went into creating it — not an atom that screams "I came into being through slavery!" and yet, the social relations of slavery and unequal exchange are facts of its existence. in the capitalist world, we're presented with an endless series of commodities, while the social relationships behind their production and distribution are hidden from us. when people understand the misery that others are forced into in order to shave $0.5 off the production costs of every t-shirt, sofa, or TV they purchase, they often feel rage at the capitalist system. that's why we must continually expose such things. don't let them be hidden from view
"cozy game" maybe for YOU. I have spreadsheets
*holding you close as you bleed out*
Yeah man... it was a good bit... it was a really good bit... really funny....
