Just vote Blue, no matter who. Come on, this’ll be the last time, then Trump will be gone and we’ll all dance under a rainbow. 🌹
At first I was like: How can capitalism allow this to happen without Bo being disappeared? But then I realized that not enough people will even hear about it for it to make a difference, and even fewer will believe it or listen seriously to its message, and in the meantime capital will just profit off of it. Also they let George Carlin live for quite a while and he said essentially the same thing.
It was kinda fun to watch corpos shit themselves, even briefly. Unfortunately this triggered their narcissistic rage which has been on an endless tear since, but for a brief moment in time the thing they cared about was hurt: their money.
Job positions for people from Vatican City rarely pay the full amount in standard currencies.
There’s that one person born and raised in Vatican City who’s just been waiting their whole life for this one moment.
Hard to say, I suspect people decide on a case by case basis, though I myself often hear the term genocide used after the group targeted or the location. The genocide in Germany and its occupied territories during World War II was uniquely historically bad to warrant its own terminology (hence “Holocaust” in many instances).
Most genocides actually don’t have as high a percentage of people killed as the Holocaust did, the Armenian and Greek genocides by Turkey during WW1 are actually more historically representative in that significantly more of the population are displaced, assaulted, and/or culturally destroyed than outright killed. The Holocaust combined the typical traits of genocide with a truly monstrous murder-industrial complex.
This is also why the Gaza genocide is particularly worrying, because unlike many other historical genocides (and none are acceptable), the people of Gaza are boxed in to a very small space, told to migrate to different parts of it, and then attacked in the places they move to. There is no escape for them, and this situation was entirely manufactured by Israel. Whatever the official death toll is at this moment, the real death toll might never be known and is likely significantly higher.
Definitely not if you have the opportunity to work somewhere else.
Couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately some systems are designed without compassion as an inherently necessary factor, or even discourage it.
To be fair, it’s a short Wikipedia article that really only glosses over the concept, but there’s lots of other articles on it online, including if I remember correctly a Psychology Today article.
Also a valid example, I’m just of the mindset that everything is inherently political at its core.
Other valid examples: Persistent bureaucratic inefficiency, corporate selective inefficiency (“boy we were really fast at polluting that town in Ohio but it’s going to take us ages to clean it up. The EPA is to blame!”), and of course race and gender common examples explicitly mentioned in the article (“but cleaning is ‘women’s work’”; “what do you mean black people have it tough in a white-majority society founded by wealthy white agrarian slaveholders?”)

Oh yes, I remember that. It inspired me to re-read The Masque of the Red Death.
