Wiping out net neutrality would have big consequences. Without it, your broadband provider could carve internet access into fast and slow lanes, favoring the traffic of online platforms that have made special payments and consigning all others to a bumpy road. Your provider would have the power to c…
it’s such a strange thing that we care about what we look like. like have you ever just considered that cavemen didn’t have mirrors or cameras or anything to see themselves up close with and they didn’t even care about what they looked like? we literally come from the universe, all of us, and we hav…
Lena Dunham is pretty much the quintessential “Marketplace Feminist,” with her lifestyle-marketing “Lenny Letter” which, in July, “talked about the importance of women in science — thanks to a check from General Electric” in a week-long brand placement deal.
Lena Dunham doesn't believe her white male friend raped her black female costar? Color me shocked. Almost like white feminism is really only about uplifting and supporting white women as they pursue their ultimate capitalistic goals of sharing the role with men as oppressors.
Just a reminder last year on Thanksgiving that Natives were being tortured with dogs, illegal scare tactics, being run over by angry white ppl all to protect our water and this year on Thanksgiving they are now cleaning up 200,000 gallon oil spill on a South Dakota reservation.
Beauty has been stolen from the people and is being sold back to them under the concept of luxury!
You put on makeup because it's fun, but why is lengthening your eyelashes and painting your lips redder fun, instead of painting your forehead blue and drawing roses on your cheeks? Because that's the beauty standard that the patriarchy has enforced on us... You can still make these choices. We're a…
You can’t buy your way to empowerment.
At some point in recent years, the same advertisers that shoved women into darkened corners of shame for not being pretty enough, not being thin enough, not having light enough skin and straight enough hair re-emerged under a sparkly, vamp-red, feminist banner.
Imagine explaining Capitalism to an alien who didn't have the concept: "Well, let's see…a few people own everything, and for 40 hours a week everyone else has to do what they say.
"Why isn’t financial literacy taught in schools?" Because the powers that be have a vested interest in you being utterly confused by a financial system where a series of simple mistakes can leave you in debt for the rest of your life.
When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.
What’s really misleading about neoliberal analysis of globalized capitalism is the idea everything works out because conditions for many are gradually improving. For any criticism you have of exploitation and imperialism, they have a chart showing gradual improvement in some communities. Without mor…
The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.
Makeup is an oppressive tool that seeks to hide us women, to belittle us and force us to compete with one another.
I hear women say they can’t take off their makeup in front of their husband because they’re afraid. That’s a bit scary. If makeup becomes something they cannot see themselves without, that is a bit dangerous. I hope the future of makeup doesn’t bring that. Some brands are having success in over-doin…
'Money can’t buy happiness' is such a baby boomer concept like…. I don’t want excessive wealth to buy a golf plated toilet seat Karen, I just wish I wasn’t crying because I can’t afford both spaghetti and rent after working 40 hours a week.
There’s a holiness there. If that were to go away, I don’t think I would be interested in it, and I don’t think they would. We’re a real rock ’n’ roll band — always have been. And to us, in the era we came up in, it was a religion in a way. It was more than commerce, it wasn’t about that. It was abo…
Why do Communists Type in Lowercase Letters? Because they are anti-capitalism.
