had a terf in my notes so I used their blog as a block list and it is wild how often I see terfs lamenting about being unable to find dates when I do this. perhaps your hateful personality and obsession with internet politics makes you unlikable. have you considered this at all.

In terms of outrunning either of these animals… well, I think you’d have a better chance just trying to avoid pissing off the gorilla 😅

unfortunate that the united states has been very successful at controlling narratives around word war 2 and positioning itself as the polar opposite of nazism and the main force fighting fascism when america was complicit in the holocaust. not only did american press report positively about hitler and the nazi party up until the end of the 30′s, some publications cooperated with nazi germany, american companies had investments and connections to nazi germany that they maintained until american involvement in the war, and companies like ibm in particular gave nazis the technology necessary to make the holocaust possible in the first place. some company owners themselves had nazi sympathies like henry ford and others just saw it as a business opportunity. the us denied entry to european jewish refugees and deported jewish refugees back to germany, many senators and other government officials during the 1930s openly supported nazism and worked to prevent the us from taking a side in ww2, and during the 30s large pro nazi rallies were held across the us. american eugenics movement, american race laws and american genocide set the model for the holocaust and there shouldnt be any discussion of nazism and the holocaust without also discussing the extent of american complicity in it. 

anyways heres some material on it

ibm and the holocaust

hitlers american friends

ap press cooperation with nazis

hitlers american model

general motors and nazi germany

operation paperclip

us reporting on the rise of fascism

people seem to have trouble understanding why i’m an anti-capitalist, so i’m going to try and put it into simple, real-life terms.

i work at a restaurant. i make $12 an hour, plus tips. minimum wage where i live is relatively high for my country - the national minimum wage is $7.25/hr, and has not been raised since 2009. before taxes, working full time, my yearly income is about $22,000 a year. ($25,000 if you count tips)

at my job, we sell various dishes, with an average price of about $10-$15. we get printouts every week detailing how much money we made that week; in one week, our restaurant makes about $30,000. (one of our other locations actually makes this much on a daily basis!)

i’m not going to go into details, but after the costs of production (payroll for employees, rent for the building, maintenance, and wholesale food purchasing) are accounted for, the restaurant makes an estimated profit of $20,000 per week.

this profit goes directly to the owner, who does not work at this location. the owner of my restaurant has actually been on vacation for a few months, but still profits from the restaurant, because they own it. i have met the owner exactly twice in my year of working here.

to put this into perspective, the owner of this restaurant earns in 2 days what they pay me in one year. and that’s just from this single location - the owner has several other restaurants, all of which make more money than the one i work at. this ends up resulting in the owner having an estimated net worth of tens of millions of dollars, even after accounting for the payroll for every single worker in their employ.

now, i have to ask you: does the owner of my restaurant deserve this income? did they earn it? did their labor result in this value being created?

the naive answer would be “yes”; the owner purchased the location and arranged for the raw ingredients to be delivered, did they not?

the actual answer is “no”. the owner may have used their initial capital to start the location, but the profit is a result of my labor, and the labor of my co-workers.

the owner purchases rice at a very low bulk price of about 25 cents a pound. i cook the rice, and within a few minutes, that pound of rice is suddenly worth about $30. the owner did not create this value, i did. the owner simply provided the initial capital investment required to start the process.

what needs to be understood here is that capitalists do not create value. they use the labor of their employees to create value, and then take the excess profit and keep it.

what needs to be understood is that capitalists accrue income by already HAVING money. the owner of my restaurant was only able to get this far because they started off, from the very beginning, with enough money to purchase a building, purchase food in bulk, and hire hundreds of employees.

that is to say: the rich get richer, and they do so by exploiting the labor of the poor.

the owner of my restaurant could afford to triple the income of every single person in their employee if they felt like it, but this would mean that they were generating less profit for themselves, so they do not.

the owner of my restaurant pays me the current minimum wage of my area, because to them, i am not a person. i am an investment. i am an asset. i am a means to create more money. 

when you are paid minimum wage, the message your boss is sending you is this: “legally, if i could pay you less, i would.”

every capitalist on the planet exploits their workers for their own gain. every capitalist, even the small business owners, forces people to stay in poverty so that the capitalist can profit.

To add to this, my mother and I are extremely close because she’s given me the space and respect I need to grow. In fact, recently I found a tape recorder under my bed and thought that maybe, for the first time ever, my mother was snooping, trying to spy on me. I felt so comfortable that I comfronted her with the intention of talking it out and what do you know... I had a stalker. We were able to find out the true culprit and we’re working on getting justice (because it had recordings of me having sex, underaged, which is child pornography) all because my mother and I have a good relationship with boundaries, respect, and non-forced communication. A trusting relationship with parents could save a kid’s life.

Yule Oil

Ingredients: 2 Tablespoons of Hazelnut or Almond oil 4 drops of Pine oil 2 drops of Orange oil 2 drops of Juniper oil 3 small pearls of finely ground Frankincense

Blend your oils together in an amber or dark bottle and then add in the ground Frankincense. When blending don’t shake your bottle but rather give it a little swirl around in a clockwise rotation to blend the oils together.

Use this oil during your Yule celebrations to anoint your tools, yourself or candles in colors of ones that represent the season. The scent of this oil blend is truly magickal.

**Make sure you label and date your bottles and store them in a cool and dry place.

Natural Yule Ornaments DIY

I got this idea from Pinterest and figured I would bring it to you guys 🥰

With Yule being here (because there much controversial on the actual date of Yule and how long it lasts and such), this is a nice little project to do with your friends and family.

Materials you will:

See-through glass/plastic ornaments

String

Various herbs and plants

I mostly used small cinnamon sticks, dried oranges, fur tree branch snippings, and faux eucalyptus sprigs (there are no eucalyptus trees in my area so I settled for fake ones).

Really all you do is stick it in the ornament ball, close the top, and tie the string in the top. Then you just hang it up on your tree.

This is good for a more naturally decorated looking tree for more minimalistic aesthetics.

Happy crafting and Happy Yule 💕
