It's A Scam - Tumblr Posts
Corporations and the ultra rich have been either hoarding, or ruining (via pollution) land and resources all around the world for centuries now.
This creates a Cage for people, similar to what happened to the Common Lands in Europe -- because if you don't have access to and the ability to organize together with your community for food, water, and shelter, then you don't have access to life.
You are then coerced and forced to obey those who stole that land from you, in order to survive.
To play whatever game they set up, and to be compelled to believe whatever lies the ultra rich feel would justify their exploitative behaviors in the first place.
Hijacking, manipulating, and controlling all the ways that people subsist for the sake of power and profit is the core tenet of Capitalism.
The owning class has seen people start to wake up and gain class consciousness. So, they want to be sure to try to close the Cage as fast as possible, before even their sycophant conservative followers can understand what's going on.
The persecution of people and groups who try to protect land from corporations, trying to create community gardens, or try to feed the homeless, are a part of that process of Earth's enclosure.
The acceleration of genocides and the enclosure of the lands in which those genocides take place, are a part of that.
Dispossession of small farming operators and growers will be part of it.
Which is why understanding permaculture, foraging, and food forestry, and organizing together to protect the land and sow native and zone appropriate seeds can be so helpful in the fight against capitalism.
The American Health System fucking sucks!
I'll say it again:
The American Health System is sexist!
I'd say it louder if I could. I will sit here and repeat this until the day I fucking die.
The American Health System needs a goddamn overhaul
Things a doctor has actually said to females in my family:
You're fat
You're lazy
You need to lose weight
You don't need the handicap badge because you're not handicapped
You can't walk because you're overweight
You're fine
The lab says there's nothing wrong
You need to exercise more
Get a job
You can't walk because your knees need to be repalced
You're not high priority. We can get you in in about 6 months
It's your medicine
It's not your medicine
It's just in your head
Every single one of those things has been said by a male doctor. None of it's okay. And all but three of those were said to one person.
The handicap badge? She's needed it for 6 years now but the doctor (who has only seen her thrice in those years) keeps saying "You're not handicapped."
I'm just- I want to scream. I want to steal his kneecaps. I wish it were a better system that actually works to heal instead of put money in the pockets of the 1%
