“The urge for destruction is also a creative urge! Destroy what destroys you”

My guilty pleasure as a leftist is watching Hamilton. So much liberalism, ouch. But the music slaps so hard.
Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.
Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.
Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.
Oops, someone dropped the truth.
It’s only when flirting with another leftist that I suddenly wish there was a guillotine emoji, but alas there is none.
I saw a “we need more women in the top 1%” ad and SCREAM liberals will really praise an exploiting class whenever it seems progressive.
the top 1% shouldn’t even exist.
bonus: ad sponsored by google, unsurprisingly, LMAO
“imagine a world with more female ceos” imagine a world with NO ceos
Being a leftist feminist in liberal circles can be so exhausting sometimes.
I was in a therapy session with an 8 year old client the other today who asked me what I was doing for the rest of my day and I said I had to stay at work until 5pm. She proceeded to tell me that if she had to work until 5pm she would scream. And like yeah, I get that on a visceral level.
My heart is heavy for Ukraine today. As always, it feels absurd to go about my normal life when others’ lives are being torn apart by the ravages of war and imperialism.
If I had a dollar for every time a man told me I was “very opinionated” I’d be able to pay off all my student loans.
Happy Friday everyone. Also ACAB. Especially the ones in Texas who stood outside of an elementary school and let children die.
Too rageful to be eloquent right now so the words of others will have to suffice for the moment.
Anyone else want to go set the Supreme Court on fire tonight?
White vegan types who shit their pants and cry and throw up about a prey animal being killed for food/hide/etc and then love plastic and slave labor are maybe some of the stupidest bitches on earth sorry
“I won’t eat honey because it exploits the bees :(” & where did your quinoa come from
Uh oh girls I got the pleather fandom after me for this one
I know many lovely people who don’t eat meat or limit their meat consumption for ethical reasons and even they shy away from the term vegan because of stuff like this.
A man named Wynn Alan Bruce used self immolation (settings oneself on fire) in front of the Supreme Court to protest government inaction on fighting climate change. This method of protest was made famous by Buddhists monks protesting the atrocities of the Vietnam War. Our Earth will be destroyed because saving it is not profitable. The government will not make the news of this man’s sacrifice and its reason well known, they don’t want it to be known. Destroy capitalism, save the earth. Rest in power Wynn.
Earth day got corporations out here performing environmental activism while shilling useless products that the environment would be better off without in the first place.
Happy Earth Day to all the earthlings and non earthlings alike. We’re very inclusive here.
Please still wear a face mask. Disabled people’s lives matter and we’re all still at risk.
