I genuinely believe one of the easiest ways to disrupt capitalist propaganda currently is to alert people to how little they own, which is allegedly Capitalism’s sole promise. Your car, fridge, phone, game system & fucking toothbrush require lifetime subscriptions & you think this is freedom? 🤨

Sometimes the comfort is “I’m only human” other times it’s “We’re all animals at the end of the day” and both are true.

Liable to write about this but the rise in sketch “comedy” on socials in the last decade or so has obfuscated the role of satire in society, sorta dulled it’s teeth and has made it harder for people to recognize thoughtful, meatier satire. Essentially POV sketches + “it’s not that deep” = 👎🏾 media

One of the most defining cultural indicators of the loss of American Hegemony will be a media renaissance that is decidedly anti-American. Movies, shows, shoots taking place anywhere but here, actors reverting to native accents not having to be American in everything, open anti-US media

Just watch

I’m fully committing to my long held goal of being fluent in ASL this year, never made it past 101 level knowledge but that’s about to change. We need to diversify our communication styles like yesterday !!

My ego wanted to feel bad about no one booking me for Valentines Day this year then my pro brain reminded me the majority of my clientele are married.

This is a good sign LOL

We will not endure this moral sex panic well if you lot refuse to engage in dating healthily.

Stop talking about relationships like investment portfolios, you’re not “owed” marriage or children or a home because you “stuck it out”.

That’s the risk to partnering!

“Everything isn’t political. It’s not that deep!” Oh yeah?

Have you ever hosted a dinner party, been asked for a recipe, and when you say there’s MSG in it… bitches look at you like a ghost appeared?

Your opposition is really easy to understand if you remember these are men who sought & consolidated power to make up for their social ails. They so desperately want to be considered cool but can’t be cause they’re try hards… which is decidedly uncool.

Just loser edgelords void of personality

I felt a glimmer of excitement then smacked my teeth. They didn’t consult the right people otherwise they’d have made shit shake!

“We keep us safe!”

Except WE aren’t wearing masks, only EYE am.

A decent swoletariat would know cardio don’t mean shit if you’re allowing airborne viruses to destroy your vascular system, lungs & decay your brain.

Like you’re actually pissing me off COMRADE; address your bias immediately!

Thinking bout Babygirl again. When Nicole Kidman bust in on Harris peeing, the natural progression would have been her holding his dick while he finished. That would have been the natural (& realistic) end to something like that in a real D/s dynamic, it shows reverence. But what do I know? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I love being a whore. I love being a bitch. I love being a cunt with principles. I love being a pervert. I love being a degenerate. I love being disagreeable. I love being nasty. I love being messy. I love being sexy. I love being kinky. I love being a nuisance to the empire. I love the life I lead!

100% convinced I have to sit through vapid takes on BDSM because the general vanilla public spent years thinking it’s comparable to rough sex. It’s not, but the conflation is fucking us (no pun intended)

I just want to get my bag being the pervert I am & fund the revolution but PRUDES won’t let me!

Workers at a Whole Foods in Philadelphia just voted to become the first unionized store in Amazon’s grocery chain

Whole Foods Workers in Philadelphia Vote to Form Chain’s First Union (Gift Article)

The union win comes as Amazon, which owns the grocery chain, is also fighting labor organizing in its warehouse and delivery businesses.

And if I said most conservative men are submissive as an outlet for dealing with their capitalistic fatigue and when they don’t have a Dom (usually a parentified female partner), their political figures are used as a surrogate… would you catch the vibe?
