Sometimes I Can't Decide Whether A Motherfucker's Problem Is Their Projecting Their Vile, Inhumane Attitudes

🤷🏾‍♀️ Sometimes I can't decide whether a motherfucker's problem is their projecting their vile, inhumane attitudes on everyone else, or, their having a distressingly low level of reading comprehension -- or both...

But then I remember that that's not what I'm here to bother about, and just block, and move on 😂

The owning class ultimately want there to be not ONE inch of earth that is not monetized, paved over, or existing in their personal gardens.

Meanwhile, people have to shift around like a card game, chasing employment and affordable housing: never getting to know and to work with and to be nurtured by the lands in which they live.

We are Earth's children.

The theft of humanity's connection to her is just one more insult that comes part and parcel with the deep injuries of capitalism.

Internalized Fascism

Seriously.

If you want to know the shape of the fascist cage that media has constructed inside our minds, our parents' minds, and our grandparents' minds over the years?

Read that awful "Screenwriter's Guide for Americans" slop that Ayn Rand wrote.

And then, if you're a creator?

Go forth, and do your damnedest to make works that depict and stand for the OPPOSITE.

One finds more crime in societies that operate more off of shame.

This dovetails with the data showing that regions with higher expressions of christianity, have more domestic violence, child abuse, grooming, SA, and other kinds of harm.

I've often noted that the worldview inherent to christianity -- in which humans are seen as naturally evil and given to the questionable concept of "sin" from the moment of birth -- can help excuse even one's bad treatment of innocent people.

After all, ALL humans are bad…right? So, oppressor or victim....in the end, who cares? 🤷🏾‍♀️

This worldview makes christian morality inherently corrupt.

Not to mention that the god character already displays all the classic behaviors and desires of an abuser: 'Love me or die', and 'Obey me or die', are not actually expressions of love or caring at all -- much less are they markers of a healthy relationship dynamic of any kind!

Yet, this "divine" example of actually toxic behavior, unfortunately, further entrenches those biblically-modeled abusive behaviors as 'acceptable' -- even as 'holy' -- in the worshippers' understanding.

And any disagreement -- much less outright protest -- is further maligned… because that worldview will go on to insist that we are all of us potentially demon-riddled and deserving of hell, unless we eagerly bow and scrape before the tyrannical god character.

The bad treatment and victim-blaming of marginalized, disabled, sick, poor, or homeless people, is also very much excused within this worldview... because, when your religion makes the entirely-too-pat assertion that good people are sure to be protected, rewarded, privileged, and empowered by god; while bad people are abandoned, disempowered, and punished; what else will religious people believe; but that to be good is to be rich, "normal", and "strong", and that all those who are being harmed by the hierarchies and oppressions around them therefore deserve what they get?

This is a sadly double-edged blade.

I remember how it felt.

The sheer self-loathing, self-dismissal, and anxiety ingrained into religious people, who are constantly told that they are worthless and evil unless they follow the whims and nonsensical, arbitrary rules of the capricious and authoritarian god character, can be immense.

It encourages just as much self-abuse and self-neglect as it encourages the neglect and abuse of others.

I didn't know until recently.

But it turns out that advertisers tend not to use actual athletes in women's sports advertisements. 🤦🏾‍♀️

This is because many women who train extensively in sports, won't fit the delicate look of what mindless sexists deem to be an "appropriate" (lesser) amount of muscle development, size, and definition.

Advertisers will even prefer to find a model who isn't athletic in the slightest, then just slap athletic wear and gear on them, and use pictures of them running around for their commercials.

The problem is SO bad, that some women athletes will actually try NOT to train beyond a certain point: so that they can maintain the softer, feminine look that will attract corporate sponsors. 😰

...Meaning that these women athletes probably COULD perform even better than they already do.

However: if they can't get the sponsors to fund their their training and participation in the sport, then these women athletes can't afford to, right?….

Which ultimately loops right back around and affects what the general public thinks men and women are even capable of as far as physical prowress...and, artificially narrows our ideas surrounding the range of how men and women can naturally look when performing at high levels of athleticism….

Just another way that capitalism ruins everything!
