jobs / hiering / liberalism
Its my second adolescance, and im looking for a part time job.
But I have a face that's much older and all of the expectations that come with it. I always understood how youth is bought by companies. Its something we can all acknowledge while looking for a job, but suddenly, once the cash is in hand, my suburban lib counterparts are happy to tell me that some people dont WANT to, "work hard" and if they did, theyd be ok because its "better over here" there being...
meritocracy /colonialism / liberalism
some far away countries who's relative poverty is completely blamed for their relative lack of might.
The wealth of the "first world' is what allows us to have the best things, but only if you work hard or are born lucky. Not being born lucky is no excuse to work hard, and those born lucky shouldn't be punished!
Beyond most who "have" are seen as deserving in or in some way rendered superior by a superior environment.
Its the religious Lib myth in Quebec
indoctrination meritocracy / canada/ quebec / anarchism
The only way to believe this is real is to have an lace knit understanding of the last hundred and fifty years of world history.
There's no such thing as learning about the world, just tropes and tokens and this lace knit myth of white supremacist patriarchal colonialist meritocracy and its supposed to be the ruler with which we measure our understanding of the world. High school and college "western or world" history are state approved
quebec/ ignorance / might / liberalism
For me it wasn't a humbling or terrifying experience because I'm Black. I knew shit was all fucked up and they hid it, I knew they fucked over the Natives, lied about contracts, I knew the rosy tales in these books weren't true. I understood that this was an economic system, man made, and not even a system that old.
I understood systemic issues because I saw through the lace when it tried to alienate me from my own life experiences. My own reality.
Getting through to someone / liberalism to leftism
Someone who is very invested or attached to that narrative, who in their mind they have too much to lose by giving it up.
So landlords, or anyone who thinks they have a shot at being of merit at being comfortable, even if they work in a union, even if every service in their province was fought for by unions and socialist workers revolts, the reality doesn't matter if they are still trying to barter that trade off to get into heaven.
Getting through to someone / liberalism to leftism
Doubting religion is doubting the trade. Not even if its worth it, if its even real at all, is that really whats being traded?
People will put up with a lot in a trade, but the trade is just a scam.
Only people who feel scammed seem to have any interest in leftism.
People whove been burned.
I don't know how i feel about that. But i think that's what it takes over here. They are very devout liberals ill tell you that much.
Getting through to someone / liberalism to leftism
Its worse in the suburbs because they never had poor friends. Kids at private school are the worst of the worst because of the insulation, but suburban middle class ones aren't much better, theyre more ideological if anything because they cant pass as many b.s. rich people tests.
Its scary, these people have lived in condovilles of their income bracket and shopped at the mall their whole life. What reality are they even being alienated from?
solidarity
Its why we have give up this left unity bullshit and instead draw boundaries and hold each other to account and hold each other close.
This kumbaya shit isn't gonna work when there's people like that EVERYWHERE in every work place. Just start a workers union is not going to cut it. And it doesnt protect those of us whove been burned from ideologically addicted libs.
So what is the glue? That holds it together that bonds us? Cause it sure wont be my workplace strike.
late capitalism / survival
I dont have life plans around a career anymore, or around eventually retiring, or on procreating and somehow locking down some form of acceptable monogamy to do so.
All of that is gone, even my abusive childhood, its being rewired and stored not as survival skills but as trauma.
Its adolescence 2.0 in an older body and damn its scary.
I cant imagine the numbness some people must feel being told that this is normal their whole life and believing it.
guilt and sadism in capitalism
It feels like teetering on the edge of a cliff
"im just trying to survive"
"im just trying to live a comfortable life"
Why are so many of us feeling so guilty for wanting and expecting more?
I think that the other end of the bow with colonialism on an ideological level, feeling self indulgent despair in the guilt of being settlers, white, of seeing themselves as a driving force behind the poverty of other nations and just giving into sadism to make sense of it.
Sadists think they're "honest"
Like these fascists really do think they are more honest than anyone on the left. That they're more realistic and that this myth is real not just because they choose to live it, but because sadism they make it real. That they are carving out their own heaven and easing their own existential fears with the violence they unleash.
There are never peaceful fascists or reasonable ones. They choose to this way because they believe it they can trade our lives for power.
fascist is bloodlust
The very act of trading in our lives is enough for them, to feel that their entire world view is real.
The only message they understand is pain and failure. They only give up when they dont think the trade can be made anymore.
They keep offering that trade to more people, our blood for peace of mind, for comfort, for feeling good, and we know some will take it. Because its their last move and they dont want to quit.
We have to silence them all, and permanently.
fascist is bloodlust
its not about whether or not they think it works, ok, in their mind if they kill enough people, they're will be enough to go around. If enough people suffer, somehow the surplus will make its way to them.
Fascism is when libs trade in their soul for a chance of being one of the chosen ones. Of COURSE they want it to be something that they cant change, that can't be earned or unearned. That's Always been the point of liberalism! They would rather me die than toil endlessly!
fascist is fantasy for libs who want power
Of course this appeals most to white cis het dudes nt, they are the most deluded, they think they know the most, they came the closest to making it into heaven and finally ascending into the upper classes where you are born and die deserving, where your life is just one long proof of merit. More like proof of purchase but wtv.
They dont need it to make sense! They just want to reaffirm their superiority. A superiority they believe is won with violence.
people whove been burnt
I hate christianity but jesus was right, the meek shall 'inherit the earth"
like the meek shall inherit the revolution.
Why are so called leftists with cash wasting it on trying to convert libs with cash? Are they libs??
We are so separated, forget like, teaching like theory and shit, how about we find a way to have more and more people living on fewer and fewer incomes.
Cause thats whats happening to us right now.
christianity
i hate white christianity, jesus was a cool dude who like trashed banks and shared food and was friends with sex workers. Then he was killed by the state.
White jesus is who i hate
lost friends / brown Jesus/ white jesus
Still think there needs to be a Jesus reimagining as a seventies black panther in aesthetics kind of but like WWJD and its revolution. Id still be in church if that was the Jesus i learnt about.
Nope I got white jesus that tells you you get to completely control your wife and children among other things.
Anyway the last of my old girlfriends is more lib than ever and we dont connect the same way anymore even though we get along.
guilt and sadism in capitalism
@PentagramPip I feel guilty for having a service dog, and I'm old and know better >_< ridiculous, this shame built into us and society
guilt and sadism in capitalism
@dirething and you need your dog, you deserve your dog, the fact that some go without isnt your fault, its doesnt mean you skipped the line.
The line is bullshit, there's dogs everywhere who would love to live as a service dog its just rules enforced by people with weapons making this hard.
guilt and sadism in capitalism
@PentagramPip Thanks for your support. You are of course so right.
Also, let's make sure I start my dog rescue/service dog charity thing to our housing collective!
christianity

And I really dont see the point in big channels or leftists putting all the energy into converting libs on lib terms.
Its like debating scripture with a religious doesnt work, it doesnt work, has that ever worked? What worked for most people was finding well deserved compassion in the face of religious hypocrisy and ire. Compassion, empathy, commiseration, real support.
Like I want more of that, less "well actually let me knit a stitch through this lace" shows
