  • I avoid them if I can. If the store wants me to work for them, they can pay me. If they don’t have any available human checkers, I will pay myself by accidentally not charging some of the items. I have left stores and attempt to tell store managers why.

    If we had a sane economic system where jobless folks still got their needs met, I’d be all for automation. But we don’t. So every time we allow the corporations to profit with less human workers, we are fucking over our fellow humans.


  • No.

    This is a load of shit. Why it has up votes blows my mind.

    Do some reading or watching of hunter gatherer societies and you’ll see lots of group survival activities. Teamwork in hunts, in preserving food, in crafting tools, and making shelter.

    If we were this self-centered, we wouldn’t have such advanced communication, which is how we were able to do all those group activities.

    Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate.





  • Before the Zionist movement, Palestine was ruled first by the Ottomans and then the British. Prior to Zionism, the land held Christians (the latest bombardment destroyed the 3rd oldest Christian Church in the world), Muslims, and Jews. In fact the early Palestinian national movement considered Jewish Palestinians to be Palestinian and their demands them full rights in a secular state of Palestine.

    Genetics, if that matters, shows that the pre-zionist natives of Palestine are closely related to European (Sepahrdic and Ashkenazi) Jews. Basically some people left centuries ago, but some people stayed.

    Now since 1948 those that left want to kick out those that stayed, or kill them if they don’t leave.












  • Please show me where I made any accusations to you. I think you doth protest too much.

    Being color blind (or which ever) won’t fight racism. If we don’t acknowledge the difference we end up ignoring the problem. And yes, who they are matters because their experience isn’t something you or I could provide. It isn’t necessarily a fault of ours that we can never know thier experience; we just aren’t treated like they are.

    Yes, fuck the rich. But the working class that must fight the rich is a diverse working class.
