Someone drops a blatant turd of a post somewhere on .ml.

I would like to understand: is there generally an expectation that anyone should be able to say anything, anywhere online? That’s never been my understanding but I’ve seen a considerable number of people who see get comments deleted or being banned as censorship.

Like, technically and literally maybe that’s the right word but the implication is that it is outrageous. I feel like I’m missing something.

The people trying, and failing, to erase this are called conservatives. They are republicans, MAGA, and/or Christofascists. Name and shame, everyone.

The people who are trying to erase this are everyone who goes to their job as a cop, in the military, with ICE, anyone in the defense industry, anyone who enables the machine and everyone in their lives who do not hold them accountable.

Yes. We should investigate if our drive to buy is based on needs or wants or pressure to consume. We should end consumption for consumptions sake.

I am a victim of not being a cannabis master 😭

Lol what’s most hilarious about this is that if they are getting a bonus it implies that they are not actually small business owners, they are at best franchisees. So the business outsourced the risk.

I did win, lol. There wasn’t much question that I would win - his argument was that I didn’t give notice so he didn’t need to give me my last pay cheque 🤷‍♀️

Small business owners are the absolute worst. I worked for a few in my youth and they feel so entitled to exploit labour and get legit mad when they can’t?

I took one guy to the labour board for unpaid wages, not even run-of-the-mill exploitation, and I thought he was going to get violent in the mediation 😬

Do you know what a capitalist is tho?

I think one of the barriers to freedom isn’t that people don’t realize they are capitalists, but that too many people think they are…

IWA does generally get this right. See also:

Liberation will not come until domestic labour is recognized as essential labour.

They are often landlords.

The (current) pope is kinda lolz as an abstract concept but the vibes go off if you think too hard about the reality of the church. Good thing memes aren’t serious 😎

Land back is such a useful tool to decide if someone sucks or not

Hell yeah I love equating a woman’s value with how attractive she is to an individual.

(I lied, I find it most objectionable to quantify peoples worth)

Stay strong trains is a hard job.

It is no answer to this argument of the right of revolution (as expressed, for example, in the U. S. Declaration of Independence) to say that if an unconstitutional act be passed, the mischief can be remedied by a repeal of it, and that this remedy can be brought about by a full discussion and the exercise of one’s voting rights.

The black men in the South discovered, generations ago, that if an unconstitutional and oppressive act is binding until invalidated by repeal, the government in the meantime will disarm them, plunge them into ignorance, suppress their freedom of assembly, stop them from casting a ballot and easily put it beyond their power to reform their government through the exercise of the rights of repeal.

The Right of Revolution, Nelson, 1968

Damn, ain’t that the truth

Better?
