I’ve had my heart utterly broken tonight
"We are deeply troubled by your campaign’s recent advertisements and statements about welfare, which we believe demonize the families we serve and reflect a woeful lack of knowledge about the challenges faced by tens of millions of Americans. By accepting our invitation, we hope that you will have the opportunity to see firsthand the struggles of those in need and have the compassion to desist your campaign’s harsh attacks. We are all God’s children and equal in God’s eyes. Efforts to divide us by class or score political points at the expense of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters reveal the worst side of our country’s politics. Please accept our invitation to witness and to serve."

Six Arguments for the Elimination of Capitalism
Amorality – increase of individual and corporate wealth is the only core principle of capitalism. Recognition of any social concern or relationship to the natural world that transcends the goal of increasing capital accumulation is extrinsic to the system.
Dependence on growth – capitalism relies on limitless growth, but the natural resources essential to wealth production are finite. Super-exploitation is exhausting those resources and destroying the ecosystems of which they are a part, jeopardizing human survival as well as that of other species.
Propensity to war – since the only goal is to accumulate rather than distribute wealth, resources that produce wealth must be controlled; therefore war is inevitable.
Intrinsic inequity – without any constraining outside force or internalized principle of social equity, capital accumulation leads almost exclusively to more accumulation, and capital is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands.
Anti-democratic – democracies are corruptible: wealth can purchase most of the representation it needs to get the laws necessary for further accumulation and concentration of wealth. This means that as the concentration of wealth increases, democracy is degraded and ultimately destroyed.
Unproductive of real happiness – human happiness and wellbeing are demonstrably tied to other factors besides capital accumulation. Extreme poverty is clearly unproductive of happiness, but so is wealth, past a relatively modest level. Happiness is most widespread where there are guarantees that basic needs will be met for all, wealth is more equitably distributed, and bonds between people and the natural environment are still stronger than the desire to accumulate wealth.
Especially the last point.

What about both?
Love is limited, y’all. There is a FINITE amount to go around. You CANNOT love more than one person in the same way at the same time, and that is why no one is allowed to have more than one child - it would be too cruel.
Erasure of polyamory, everybody!

Fucking this.
I see so much land that could be put to good use for the benefit of all, but it’s “business” or “office” zoned.
I see so many dilapitated buildings, that COULD be saved, COULD be restored, and I know of people who could do it, who have the experience, and yet, are homeless because there are no jobs, or places for the poor to live.
It’s not about squatting.
Fuck squatters.
If you are a squatter, and you are not bettering your area, get the fuck out.Right now, I live in a Cub Foods Parking lot, and every night, I collect the carts, and every morning I pick up trash.
That’s why I’ve not been told to move along.
I am doing work that needs to be done.
I hope my luck holds in this situation.
It all comes down to a simple concept, one in many ideaological and religious texts. Money is the root of all evil.
In and of itself, it is just paper, but it is given power by humans, who wish to obtain more of it, because they gave it power.
ANOTHER THING!
The few jobs people can find?
All part time.
For those of you NOT in America, I’ll clue you in on a dirty little secret we have:
1. Part timers are often required to have open availability, to better serve their company. Meaning no other jobs, and little chance to go to school to improve their life.
2. Part Timers are often paid minimum wage, but the problem with that, is it’s minimum “living” wage, based off of statistics years old AND assuming full time employment.
3. Part Timers are often denied healthcare, due to the fact that companies are only legally required to provide any level of healthcare to full time employees.
4. The majority of employees in all companies are part timers, because it is cheaper for a company to hire 2 part timers, than it is to hire one full timer.
This leads to few people who are young, or poor, having healthcare.
It leads to a state of desperation where they cannot advance, because if they try, they often lose their jobs due to “lack of availability”
It leads to many part time employees not being able to live on minimum “living” wage.
Because they do not make enough, because they cannot get healthcare they often need, because they cannot advance, and because companies refuse to hire people on full time, America is rotting from within.
And yet, instead of addressing this, we put on a fake smile bought with our credit cards, and we keep carrying on.
There is work to be done, yet no workers are allowed to do it because of a few simple words: “for profit”
We are creating our own downfall.
The last two generations, mine and the one before mine, we have seen the end of the tunnel. And it is just a Wiley Coyote painting, except we’re the Wiley Coyote.
And the next few generations coming up? It’ll be worse for them, unless we fix it.
People can disagree with me, I have no issue with a difference of opinion.
But usually those who do are those who have never seen or experienced what I speak of.
So bring on the hate.

Ongoing Mexico Revolution - Ignored by the Media
Mexico, July 11, 2012. The largest protest in human history. USA and UK governments pushed the press not to publish. Google censored videos on youtube and restricted keywords on this event.
The Mexican media has blacking out the protests against their new government, who have been accused of doing everything from buying votes to buying off the media.
If the corporate media won’t spread this story, then let’s spread the story. Share this all over your pages and your friend’s pages and help support the democracy movement in Mexico.

"The Bible is a blueprint of in-group morality, complete
with instructions for genocide, enslavement of out-groups,
and world domination. But the Bible is not evil by virtue
of its objectives or even its glorification of murder, cruelty,
and rape. Many ancient works do that - The Iliad, the
Icelandic Sagas, the tales of the ancient Syrians and
the inscriptions of the ancient Mayans, for example. But
no one is selling the Iliad as a foundation for morality.
Therein lies the problem. The Bible is sold, and bought, as
a guide to how people should live their lives. And it is, by
far, the world’s all-time best seller."
