hot take: the capitalist cultural construction of “humans are naturally greedy and self-centered” is just an attenuated version of the feudal christian construction of “humans are inherently sinful”; both are designed to make people internalize cultural problems and externalize morality.

building off that hot take: western individualism (the American Dream, meritocracy, “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality) is actually a hopelessly sentimental cultural fantasy that stems from this toxic capitalist conceit, and it’s high time we start admitting in our personal lives and in our public policy that humans actually live in dynamic and overlapping webs of inter-dependency

it’s this capitalist mindset that makes my struggling with disabilities ten times worse.

“you’re a parasite for needing assistance, why don’t you just work harder? you don’t deserve help.”

capitalism kills, externally and internally

popculturedetective:

Stalking For Love is a popular media trope where invasive stalker-like behavior is presented as an endearing or harmless part of romantic courtship. The hero will often go to extraordinary lengths to coerce, trick or otherwise manipulate his way into a woman’s life.

anyone else in the mood to pull off a huge heist

Where and when

I don’t wanna give away too many details on here but by the end of it we will be rich and woody allen will be dead. I’ll send word via carrier swan when the time is right

I would be happy with Woody Allen’s demise but riches are always welcome too. Please send a carrier pigeon to warn me the swan is coming so i don’t mistake it for a goose and freak out

I don’t have any spare pigeons available but I’ve sent a rat in a pigeon costume to warn you of the swan. God speed

I am almost offended [offended!] that this post did not come with an @elodieunderglass addition, because elodie clearly needs to see it and I am concerned that She Has Not (!!!)

But I cannot possibly comment, I cannot possibly endorse a Crime

I fail to see mention of anything criminal.

…. hmmm… I have to agree, wording is vague enough that this sounds more like a Senior Prank than a criminal heist 

i’m going to brutally murder woody allen
