  • We've had political, social and economic revolutions before without shit collapsing. Lots of death and destruction though generally. People don't give up power easily unfortunately.

  • I've always felt like conservative people are more likely the type of people who walk their dogs off leash. Don't tread on me extends to their pets

  • I used to have a Russian blue. Such beautiful cats

  • I research sexual violence. All I can say is that anyone who takes issue with consent education = red flag central.

  • I'm still wondering whether an unconscious racial bias might have impacted their decision to cancel the ambulance?

  • This right here is why they shouldn't of cancelled the ambulance. Cops ain't qualified to assess whether something is a health emergency.

  • Some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses.

  • I know these have mostly been performative for a while but I feel like this one has really symbolised the crossover into entire absurdity.

  • Why didn't they get arrested? They were doing illegal nazi salutes. The double standard for these fucks is absurd.

  • Capitalist governments be like look how good we are at spending money efficiently. Meanwhile, burns cash on useless middle men.

  • Cool. Now stfu and advocate for the removal of mutual obligations. Anything less than that and you're still a scab and class traitor. This issue is actually surprisingly simple, no mutual obligations = no tax payer money going to welfare frauds (JSP system). Then we can start discussing how to reform employment support and what that would look like. But any system that's underpinned by mutual obligations will be deeply flawed.

  • Take their current profits and imagine they were going to government income instead.

    Doesn't matter if it works better or worse (who gets to determine this and by what measure?), it's a matter of who benefits from ownership.

  • This whole agency and department needs to be completely overhauled. I'm fairly certain services australia are still breaking many laws in their day to day operations.They need to be put into crisis mode, have business as usual mode suspended, auto-approve payments, hire a fucktone more staff (permanently) and fix shit. I would have thought Shorten would have the political will to do something about this but he's been so disappointing.

  • I dramatically strain for something that's too high up for me to reach it. Pretend to try and weild the force to pull it towards me. And then wait until my very tall partner just comes along to grab it.

  • Going to space! I'm disabled so it's highly unlikely that I would be able to, even if it was commercially available.

  • Capitalism (depending on how you define it) is coming up on 600 years soon. That's usually the point at which systems start to break and new ones emerge. Unfortunately, if you're a fan of Marx you'll be aware of his theory that cycles of power relations and exploitation tend to reproduce themselves within these new systems - unless that cycle is broken.

  • Simple thought experiment. If you were alive during Hitler's death would you still feel the same way?

    I don't like the idea of celebrating death because there's usually at least one person who is mourning and deserves to be respected in that. If people were celebrating the death of my loved one then yeah i'd feel pretty shitty about that.

    But there is a certain category of person where this doesn't apply. If you're famous for doing war crimes then your death should be celebrated. It's less about the person and more about what they symbolise. If you use your existence to bring such suffering upon the world then humanity kind of has a duty to celebrate the loss of that existence from the world.
