Liberal trans women… stop. Radicalize. c’mon. We ain’t going nowhere by praising Laverne, Caitlynn, Manning, etc.

Celebrities help but tbh, the last three examples are kind of a poor element to pick from. Chelsea did suffer a lot for exposing war crimes (something she shouldnt have been arrested for, she was doing good). Laverne is just bathing in money by tokenizing herself and selling out. She’s an amazing actress, but she’s a capitalist after all. Caitlynn, well. She’s anti gay marriage and supports Trump, what else can I say.

Laura Jane Grace is a great icon, but as much as I love her, we have to stop idolizing trans women. I know, i feel so connected too, but it keeps pushing the idea of “oh trans people = money” by corporations, networks and the rest.

Look at pride for fucks sake. It started as a riot, expanded as a parade of celebration; and now it has fucking sponsors like banks, law firms, etc. By not radicalizing, we let the system use our identities as merchandise for the curious. Or in the other spectrum, to cause outcry therefore making more money.

Same goes to pop feminism. Fuck Hillary (Warmongerer), Fuck all the “feminist” actresses promoting non intersectional feminism (and being terfy at times). That’s how we get Laci Green’s.

LIBERALISM ALLOWS FASCISM AND IMPERIALISM TO SPREAD.

Get fucking Laverne, Chelsea, and Laura’s names out of your mouth, and dont you dare compare them to laci green, caitlyn jenner, or hillary. Like, in what universe does this make sense???

Look, you don’t seem like a bad person. Your heart is in the right place even if your head is up your ass. But you need to understand that accusing everyone of being liberals with…seemingly no sense behind it.

Chris Hedges on America entering the “Trump Phase” of late capitalism

On the one hand, it’s the end of capitalism. On the other hand, it’s taking us out with it.

[Caption: a gifset of Chris Hedges at a podium saying, “The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted,  would be marked by global capital being unable to expand and generate profits at former levels. Capitalists would begin to consume the government, along with the physical and social structures that sustain them. Democracy, social welfare, electoral participation, the common good, and investment in public transportation, roads, bridges, utilities, industry, education, healthcare, and the protection of the ecosystem would be sacrificed to feed the mania of short-term profit. These assaults would destroy the host. And this is the stage of late capitalism that Trump represents.”]

Vancouver property owners ‘panic’ to rent as vacancy tax implemented

Under the new rules, homes that are not occupied for at least six months of the year are subject to a tax of one per cent of the property’s assessed value. The deadline to rent out empty dwellings was July 1.

Fazli said many of the people he has talked to are thinking of renting or selling their properties. He recently met with a woman who owns three empty properties in Vancouver — and says one of them is now listed for rent, another will be listed shortly and she is thinking of selling the third.

“This is a scenario of someone who is kind of in a panic now and needs to rent them out,” he said. […]

amazing

Why were they empty?

they’re meant to be investment properties, bought, left empty, and then sold a year or few later for huge profit as housing values continue to rise. it’s a massive part of the bc housing bubble, and why despite so much new construction it’s still so difficult to find rental housing

the fact that these landlords are panicking because they might have to actually use their housing properties as housing rather than finance capital is deeply funny

saying “you are a burden on society” is just such a weird framing of priorities

It’s like saying “wow, think how much better gas mileage your car would get if you weren’t sitting in it” or “think how dry that umbrella would be if you weren’t holding it in between you and the rainstorm”.

the things we create? they’re for us. they are meant to carry us. they are meant to protect us. we are meant to hold them up to keep us dry. 

why do we even have a society if not to take care of each other?
