im really not trying to be mean here but this one tag from a reblog just so colossally missed the point i cant let it go unacknowledged

the whole message of this post is that the clothes are being made regardless of whether anybody is going to be purchasing them. they’re made in sweatshops, shipped to the other side of the globe, put on racks in thousands of stores, and whatever doesn’t sell is dumped in the fucking desert to make room on those racks for the next shipment.

“buy secondhand only” in response to this is such an egregious misunderstanding and it’s doing the exact fucking thing that is implicitly being criticized by this tweet, which is that individual consumer choices are totally disconnected from the global production of consumer goods and therefore moralizing about making the Correct choices and imploring people to go to fucking goodwill instead of tj maxx is meaningless

Slave labor and borderline slave labor allow cheap junk to be made for so little that some companies can make up for the loss several times over by claiming it on insurance, getting government subsidies, or even selling certain things as scrap or filler to other industries. Companies are so frequently part of some vast network of brands owned by the same entity that they can waste a billion dollars without batting an eye. Just saturating a market with *your* unsellable shit can be seen as advantageous if it helps push out a competitor. Someone buying one new pair of shoes for $20 can mean they just covered the manufacturing cost for 500 pairs. Passive boycotting isn’t going to work ever again at this point. The only ways any of this can change will unfortunately require vastly, vastly more work from more people than just telling Twitter to stop buying pants or switching a fast food chain to paper straws.

Funny how as economic inequality increases capitalist society starts to look more and more like the dysfunctions we associate with the Soviet Union. Like, “socialism is bad because it causes production to become decoupled from demand” is one of the biggest right-wing and libertarian anti-socialist talking points.

free palestine.

- Death toll is now at 11.

- 100+ wounded.

- People have been forced out of Jenin, with soldiers screaming at them to keep their hands up.

- They tear-gassed people as they were leaving.

- A hospital where many were seeking refuge was tear-gassed.

The people of Jenin were refugees of the first Nakba back in 1948. They were displaced. Today, they’ve been displaced once more. Fuck israel.

Making tomboys straight in movies is evil

I’m not even kidding. It really is. Simultaneously infantilizing female gendernonconforming as something one grows out of after one is with and in consequence to being in a relationship with a man is evil.

These characters exist to reinforce heterosexuality and femininity as correct female gender. They take a gendernonconforming child with the capacity to grow up into a butch and turn her into an example that “even the stray woman can be corrected.” Violent logic not unfamiliar to us as lesbians and especially to us as butches. It’s especially sickening when heterosexuality is used as a literal “remedy” for their gendernonconformity. Again, this feeds directly into lesbophobia and homophobic panic.

These are just a couple ideas about how I think land and other stuff would be managed in an ideal society. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments/reblogs

- All land is divided into residential, industrial, public service, recreation, wilderness, and surplus.

- Indigenous communities can veto any decision regarding the use of undeveloped land.

- Housing is free and fully resident owned. Housing is designed to be efficient and sustainable while still providing quality living spaces. Most buildings and complexes have their own food gardens, renewable power supplies, and recreational spaces.

- Industry is owned 3:1 by workers and the general public in the area. All local industries function as one, pooling and sharing resources without need for money or bureaucracy.

- Public services are also owned 3:1 by workers and the general public. All services from stores to libraries to hospitals are free. They are also part of the industrial system and can take any resources they need. Public services can also include transportation and infrastructure.

- Recreational spaces like parks, public squares, and sporting areas are free and owned 2:1 by workers and the public.

- Wilderness areas are owned 3:2:1 by indigenous communities, workers, and the general public.

- If land is not being used, there are no plans to use it in the near future, and it is not considered wilderness or otherwise protected, it is labeled as surplus. Small plots of surplus land can be given to individuals and families for residential use. These plots are still fully owned by the public and are returned after the individual claiming them dies. The public still has the power to make decisions regarding claimed land, such as setting restrictions for cutting trees or or limiting construction.
