for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!

don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!

I tap the mic. “Most people don’t want to crawl down your chimney and steal your dog.”

the crowd murmurs uncertainly.

“If someone wants to steal your dog,” I continue, “there are easier ways to do that. They don’t have to crawl into a chimney.”

Murmuring intensifies. People stand in their seats and begin to boo.

“People disguising themselves as chimney sweepers and stealing dogs is not a rational fear,” I shout. “Literally anyone could steal your dog. Why make sweeping chimneys illegal?”

“I have a list of chimney sweeps who stole dogs from parks!” Someone yells, throwing a shoe.

“You seriously think no chimney sweepers could possibly ever steal from a home?” Another cries.

“Only a dog thief would even want to crawl into a chimney to begin with!” Says a third.

A single tear rolls down my cheek. They are all so fucking stupid

This is a metaphor

This is probably one of the most stupid and ridiculous military opinions I've seen. Let's start from the beginning of this shit, with the idea that wanting to join the military means wanting to kill people. Yeah, that goes for some, probably the most privileged and out of touch people, but a lot of them need it to have any real opportunity, either for becoming a citizen or paying for college or whatever. Not to mention the propaganda. Any time you see US military equipment in a film, the DOD has a say in the movie's script. Basically all of Marvel is tied to the military, and it's not always obvious. That's not including the ads, which seem to have way better targeting than most other ads, but that might just be my perspective.

Also, how the fuck are you going to say war is bad because Americans die but at the same time say anyone who so much as thinks about joining the military should kill themselves? So what, because I thought about it in elementary school for a reason I don't even remember, I should now kill myself?

Oh and there are still parts of the military that help people. It's not one giant killing machine, and sure some of that's propaganda but it still helps people. There's still humanitarian aid and military projects that benefit civilian populations. That's also one of the reasons people think about joining, it's not all pew pew boom boom or whatever.

And don't fucking tell that person who agreed with you "fuck your grandpa." Y’know, the person who made their family hate the military and all that. We have no fucking clue why he joined, or what war he was in, so maybe offer the benefit of the doubt and say "I'm sorry that all happened to him and I'm glad your family learned from that" or something. Oh and let's go back to that killing and dying thing. So war bad because Americans die too, but Americans should kill themselves and others, potentially their friends, because they think about or gods forbid join the military?

Fuck right off and learn some godsdamn nuance.

kinda insane how common and accepted it is for yanks to just casually mention wanting to join the military. yeah I wanted to kill people because of a videogame. I wanted to kill real human beings because I thought it'd be fun. I would kill human beings who Aren't Real because they aren't American (Real). and you just have to fucking deal with it! especially being arab diaspora like jesus christ it feels like a genuine threat at some points. I wanted to kill people like you. I killed people like you and feel good enough to say it. I think anyone who's ever even thought about joining the US military should kill themselves

thinking about this again

[lightmage670]

I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.

[lightmage670]

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh
