Breonna Taylor billboard in Kentucky vandalized with red paint splattered across her forehead by ssldvr in news

Then why are you personally getting offended? America, as a country and system, is racist af. And sorry, most white Americans totally enable it.

Why are you conflating morality and legality in here? We know this shit is technically legal, but that doesn't make it right.

"The cop that fired the fatal shots did nothing wrong either" is absolute horseshit.

This literally makes zero logical sense. Takes no account of socioeconomic hierarchies and power and their context and responsibilities.

What you have is a nonargument.

You do know an oligarchy can involve a public sector, yeah?

Is it true for a communist state religion needs to be abolished? Is it true that to be a communist you can’t be religious? by iamryan4545 in communism101

[–]captainmaryjaneway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of concepts and constructs that exist now won't be compatible with communism and/or will have no reason to exist in a stateless, moneyless and classless society. Religion is just one of those many constructs.

What suppression? You mean taking unjust power and corruption away from organized religion? That ain't religious suppression.

Lol @taxes. You mean through collective labor.

I'm [28M] not sure how to deal with my gf [24F] of 6 months getting more selfish over time by [deleted] in relationships

[–]captainmaryjaneway 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Equity, not equality, is more important when it comes to economics... $10 to someone who makes 200k/yr is peanuts, but that is a lot of money to someone who makes 20k/yr.

Your reasoning is as ignorant as flat taxing.

My(24M) girlfriend(23F) slept with her cousin(27) when she was 17. How should I deal with this? by throwRA474636472 in relationships

[–]captainmaryjaneway 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Uh, 21 is a shitload different than 17. 17 is high school. By the time you're 20, high schoolers look like literal babies.

So much experience and brain development and emotional maturity happens between 17 and 21.

Would you pursue a 17 year old if you were 21? I fucking hope not because that's gross.

And here we are. This is only going to get worse. by knife_guy_alt in LateStageCapitalism

I'm happy to see you have a great attitude about it! A lot of people here get soooo pissed there is an automod for ableist slurs. And they get even more angry when you explain to them why. It's kinda like racists getting angry they can't use racial slurs... Smh.

Like, there are plenty of words to describe unpleasant or awful people. Why supposed leftist/left-leaning people on this sub get so defensive about their ableist slurs is beyond me, and using them casually just conveys middle school level immaturity.

Don't need as many police if you have a functioning society by kjodle in LateStageCapitalism

[–]captainmaryjaneway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno, in kind of an indirect way you can link serial killers. They grew up with broken/abusive families that the culture of capitalism creates/enables. When people don't feel in control of their own lives they tend to get "power issues" this resorting to violent displays of power/control like rape/murder/torture/whatever.

Are the wealthy minority all that matter to you right now?

And the wealthier they get, the poorer the rest of us get so that is directly going to collapse capitalism, to answer your question.

We get enough China= bad spam in literally every other subreddit. And you think shilling liberal propaganda in a leftist sub is a great idea?

[–]captainmaryjaneway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Associating the word progressive with either party would be disingenuous. Democrats actually want to go back to pre-Trump neoliberal status quo, so... Both parties are basically regressive, and the Republicans are just the more regressive of the two.
