The presence of charities creates the illusion that we are a caring society. A truly caring society wouldn't have the need for charities.

A crucial element of NEO-LIBERALISM _-is that while the poor are to be held accountable FOR POOR ECONOMIC DECISIONS, real or imagined, the rich must never be. - David Graeber

Or, maybe its the police gunning people down in the streets

Or the crippling cost of housing and education

Or the threat of expulsion from college or job for expressing support for Palestinians

Or the epidemics of preventable diseases like measles and pertussis

Sadistic Statistic #1:

It's not that they can't afford to provide universal healthcare to all. It's that they need that money to fund genocide, mass murder and regime change, while providing massive tax cuts to the billionaires.

Universal Healthcare is not too expensive or unaffordable to the U.S.

I hate to break it to all these CEOs who want everyone to return to the office because they think we aren't working at home, but, uh......we were slacking off at the office too buddy. It's not really a "home" or "office" thing. We just don't really want to work super hard so your stock can go up.

Bathroom policing is not about protecting #women, as TERFs & transphobes argue. And how can it be #feminism when they come after women for looking too masculine?

If you don't fight for all women, then you stand for no women.

And throw 'em in concentration camps
Tear gas 'em in their schools
Starve 'em
Deny 'em healthcare
Ensure that they can toil in dangerous jobs

Ah, hell, let's bring back the death penalty for 'em, too, while we're at it

And every POTUS in the last 50 years, if not longer

60 years later and the problem is worse than ever.
