Rage Rumbles 🏴☠️ 🏳️🌈<p>SEX, CAPITALISM, PATRIARCHY, MORALITY</p><p>In a capitalist patriarchy, when sex is a product then women (in general) are for sale. But its a game they can't win, so at least part of society imagines, because then, so at least part of society says, they have become whores, sluts, slags, bikes, holes, meat to fuck, dirty, tramps and cumrags. There are an amazing amount of women on Only Fans and similar sites who HIDE THEIR FACES. Why? You know why. The morality of our civilisation forces women (and others) to become sex objects AND THEN IT CONDEMNS AND JUDGES THEM FOR IT. They are made into good capitalists but also into dirty, unspeakable capitalists. They are fucked both ways. This particularly affects women who are, for entirely dubious patriarchal reasons only, supposed to be more chaste than men. This boils down to simple misogyny when a man might imagine forcing a woman to her knees for his pleasure but gets to call her a cockslut, and value her accordingly, when she is done. Men always win, women can only lose. Such is the morality of standard patriarchal heterosexuality under capitalism. The man is dominant, the woman inferior.

WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/chamfort-nicolas/8973/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Chamfort</b></a></p><blockquote>Education must be based on two things: ethics and prudence; ethics in order to develop your good qualities, prudence to protect you from other people’s bad ones. If you attach too great an importance to goodness, you produce credulous fools; if you’re too prudent, you produce self-serving, scheming rogues.<br> <br><i>[L’Éducation doit porter sur deux bases, la morale et la prudence ; la morale, pour appuyer la vertu ; la prudence, pour vous défendre contre les vices d’autrui. En faisant pencher la balance du côté de la morale, vous ne faites que des dupes ou des martyrs; en la faisant pencher de l’autre côté, vous faites des calculateurs égoïstes.]</i></blockquote><p><b>Nicolas Chamfort</b> (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b.

Richard<p>This is not a popular opinion, but I have come to believe that social movements do not ultimately bring systematic change. Not be a contrarian, but I think it takes the right individual that sparks the final measure that brings about real, fundamental change. Let me give some examples. </p><p>Martin Luther King, Jr. I know he didn't do it on his own, but he was a singular force, and that is authentic. </p><p>From fiction:</p><p>Gabriel Bell from the famous Star Trek: DS9 two-parter, "Past Tense" and the Bell Riots. Yes, he also very much did not do it on his own, but he was a force to be reckoned with. </p><p>John Sheridan from Babylon 5. He also did not do it on his own, he had both an immediate crew and an extended crew, but he was hands on and even died only to come back and finish the job. He ultimately made the decisions that changed history. </p><p>I know how generic I sound. I know I seem like I lack faith in the collective. Well, having lived with severe disability for 27 years, yes, I do lack faith in people at large. I know what you are willing to do to me when no one else is watching. I know it takes a single soul, the right person who possesses the qualities that the collective claims to be in favor of, but they are never actually capable of those moral values, not personally, they are not. It will take one leader to bring change. The group cannot do it. </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MLK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MLK</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Babylon5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Babylon5</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/DS9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DS9</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>change</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>revolution</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/progressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>progressive</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leadership</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>morality</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>values</span></a></p>

Still Mad About CD Prices<p>Convo with a friend this morning. I don't intend this as a pile-on against religion; I have great love and respect for many religious people, both in my former faith and some others. But the individuals living the faith are a different situation from the faith itself. And yes, all Abrahamic religions have a history of god-sanctioned <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a>. How the faithful in these religions deal with that history has been pretty interesting to me, because different sects take very different approaches to it.
