Hey, this is your regular reminder that “capitalism” does not mean “people trying to make a buck to survive in this economy.”

“Capitalism” means that the means of making a buck, and the decisions about who gets to do it, are all owned by conglomerates rather than the workers.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Yeah, I’m done playing by a different set of rules than literal Nazis. They get a pass on violence but I have to watch my mouth on the internet?!? Fuck. That.

Monitoring the response to aggression more than the behaviors of the aggressor is FUCKING FASCISM.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

"But how am I supposed to find time for my art when I'm working full time?"
Time theft. You commit time theft. You're already getting screwed by your employers. They're not paying you enough for the time you give them. Do it on the clock. Even if it's just a few words on a scrap of paper.
