#i fucking hate capitalists

[crownjewel123]

I just watched the latest Indiana Jones movie and aside from the CGI they put on Harrison Ford’s face- that movie was pretty fucking awesome actually. After the crystal skull being absolute fucking garbage they had a LOT to make up for and I genuinely think they did. I mean they TIME TRAVELED (I am a bitch for time travel) to 214 BC and met Archimedes! And I got to watch a bunch of Nazi’s die. Two things I can enjoy.

"Being poor is a choice, you can get out of it if you work hard."

I live with 4 people, one of which is a child. I work a full time job. So does another. And the third works two part times.

We have no heating. Our electric keeps getting shut off. We didn't have anything AT ALL to drink for 3 days.

You REALLY fucking think we choose to live like this? You think I want to fucking FREEZE right now as I type? FUCK all the out of touch lucky people saying this shit.

Is it possible to get out of a poor family? Yes. But the majority of the time your area of living is what predicts your wealth.

not so gentle reminder that the system isn’t broken, the system was never built to benefit us in the first place

a quite simple outfit, trying to use the little blue and white apron thing (which is actually a dress I think, that I just leave un-buttoned in the back and added an apron-like tie to lol)

[ID: an uncoloured drawing for a panel next to the publicized version. They're both from the comic Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #194. In them, Batman is shown from the waist up. He's looking at Jim Gordon, who's off panel, with a penitent expression after being accused of something he secretly did do. He has his palm pressed against his chest and is blocking the bat emblem as his other hand is clasped ontop of it. In the initial drawing, there's a halo floating above his head as well as several tiny hearts mixed in with the lights that surround him. In the publicized panel, the hearts and halo has been removed and two speech bubbles have been added. He's in front of a terra rose background and is starting to say, “Jim, I don't even know what you're...” But Jim cuts him off, saying, “Stop it. I'm tired of this.”

The third photo is a description of the drawing from the artist's (Seth Fisher) website. It reads: This is another page that the DC editors changed: no halos or hearts around Batman, no matter how (disingenuously) contrite he is. In the final edition, the halo and heart in the center bottom frame have been excised.]

you know you’re in a capitalist hellscape when people come to your desk and tells you you should be grateful you have a window

On billionaires and why they shouldn’t exist

I don’t think anyone that earns a normal wage who supports the ability to earn 1,000,000,000 dollars (yes, there’s 9 zeros) truly gets how much one billion of anything is. One million, sure. Ten million, yep! One hundred million, maaaybe… but one billion???

To put it into perspective, if we traveled back in time by one million seconds, we’d travel about 11 or 12 days into the past, so about a week and a half ago. If we traveled back in time by one billion seconds, it would be 1993.

So now we know, one billion is a lot. But one still asks, “Why shouldn’t you have a billion dollars? Why is that level of wealth inherently bad or wrong?” First, I’m so glad you asked! Second, when there are people living paycheque to paycheque, when there are people living in tents who can’t afford to feed only themselves, let alone any kids or pets, why should someone who could afford 76, 923, 077 copies of The Catcher in the Rye have that kind of wealth?

Is life fair? No. But could it be fair enough that there aren’t people who could drop 100k on a Rolex and not see a dent in their bank account and people who can barely afford a new shirt living side by side when one could easily help the other? YES!! It could be!! There is no truly ethical way to earn a billion dollars.

From musicians selling dozens of variants of the same album or CD to keep their charts up and fill their pockets, to entrepreneurs cutting costs on literal vehicles, to apps charging for verification, to business owners underpaying their workers, one cannot earn such a sum of wealth and be able to truthfully say, “I really earned this in my own right, and no one has been hurt by my rise to luxury.”

Yes, the world of business is competitive. Yes, it’s eat or be eaten. But it doesn’t have to be. Capitalism will kill us all, with the rich being cryogenically frozen to be awoken in the far future, and the rest of us dying as either drones or deviants in the system.

When you can pay your way out of accountability or shame, the rules just cease to apply. When you can’t, the rich crack down on you like the gum stuck to their shoe, no matter if you committed arson or if you just looked “too mangy” too near to them.

News flash to the rich, charitably is an option and basic kindness is free… but when you have a Rolls Royce you can afford to give something to the less fortunate.

If I see one more “Destiny is DEAD and Bungie is EVIL” video recommendation on YT I’m gonna flip.

vent post sorry so sorry i'm having a Bad Time

psyched myself up to buy a new bed but when i announced my plans for the weekend my sibling's like 'are you sure you wanna buy a new bed?' like damn killed the hype immediately. i don't wanna buy a bed i don't wanna go anywhere i'll just keep using the bed that we all cycled through growing up that hasn't been replaced in a decade+ with no bedframe and only one sheet that fits.

"are you sure you want-" I need a new bed. This isn't a matter of wanting. i don't want to think about where to get the best deals or which store has a delivery service or the logistics of hauling that thing into my room or where to get rid of the old one i'm sick of sleeping on a mattress on the floor. don't make this ordeal more complicated than it has to be.

whenever i see people defend having ai in everything because they believe we are on the cusp of the great singularity blah blah sci-fi magic future that does not (& most likely will not ever) exist:

Each time I tell myself that maybe I should buy a printer I am reminded of how absolutely ridiculous it is now that you get to choose between overpriced cartridges or a monthly subscription.

I'm better off going to the library to get my shit printed at this point.

I hate capitalism but I disagree with the statement "Capitalism is flawed."

A robot that is programmed to kill is not flawed if it does exactly what it was made to do.

This is a wip for now, but I’m pretty happy about what I have produced in the time I did. The quality of my pictures are kinda garbage but I can’t figure out why. I have been on a fallout kick recently and wanted to draw Nick Valentine, one of my favorites and someone who despite his brain coming from a cop has a decent character build. Which obviously all cops are bastards, even the original Nick Valentine. They uphold the interests of the capital owners with violence against the workers and lower class. And we are starting to see the late stages of it already with cop cities being built so they can better use war tactics on citizens. This is what late stage capitalism has wet dreams about. I don’t know what options we have left some days and the further things progress the more worried I get.
