Who used a picture of glenn beckas an imaginary fascist come to power in a mock UN- are you single?

Write a long post on earth day and why so much of environmentalism regressively relies on the unpaid labor of women, but its hard to write a long post on my phone and i have yet another raging migraine. Instead i am going to contemplate the best way to sterilize a power drill for at home brain surgery.rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide? And just to make it topical which one is more environmentally friendly?

For my Pacific Northwesterners who can’t remember what the sun is.

Remember kids- I drink therefore I am.

As I was attempting to drown myself in a bathtub full of tea tree oil (mosquitos people, they think I am an all you can eat buffet) I had this little thought.

MRAs are to child support* as red state conservatives are to taxes** as misogynists are to women*** as legacy graduates of Ivy league universities are to affirmative action****.

What is the common theme? These are all groups of people who contribute less to society than they get out of it, and whine the whole fucking time about what little they do have to put in.

All oppression has the same goal. Anyone who tells you to shut up about it, or that fighting against it is useless or futile, is probably one of the big, whiny, squeaky wheels getting more out of the system than they put in.

So what are your examples of big whiners getting more and paying less and complaining all the time about it? It can be racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia. Take your pick.

*for all their whining, 70 percent of child support cases are in arrears and in some states more than 50 percent of cases haven’t seen a single payment in the last year. Yes I harp on this fact. It’s important and ignored.

**red states almost universally get more money from the federal government than they pay in taxes. The opposite is true for blue states.

*** Seriously, do I need to explain how misogynists benefit from sexism? It was just national pay equality day for starters.

****Yes, I have actually had an argument with about with someone about how their legacy admission was soooooooo earned while affirmative action promotes the undeserving.

Can i write a longer post on my phone if i send it via email instead of text message or will it still break it down into tiny bits? I guess the way to test it is by writing one long boring message on my phone. Arent you all thrilled to watch the blog sausage making in action?

As the internet bill is past due and I am liberating a weak ass wifi signal from somewhere else because comcast has cut me off.

Whoopee.

“hard choices” are always made on the backs of people like me(and just about everyone reading this here bloggity blog). How come “hard choices” never come at the expense of people who the cost doesn’t matter much to?

How come it’s not the banksters sacrificing their bonuses? how come it’s not the health insurance parasites sacrificing their profits? How come it’s not the people who make over $106,800 a year who have to pay for the “hard choices”. How come it’s not military contractors or oil companies or giant agribusiness who has to pay for the “hard choices”.

How come those who benefited most from the extravagance of the last 10 30 years aren’t the ones paying for the hard choices?

You know, sometimes it’s hard to figure out just why certain oppressions exist. Sometimes it’s easy- sexism exists because it creates a huge group of unpaid workers willing to do the shitty work of raising kids and cooking meals for no pay. But with the gay marriage thing, it’s hard to figure out just why the powers that be are so reluctant to let people marry.

Until you look at the money.

The state stole everything they owned and auctioned it off. Everything. Gone.

And even when the state isn’t straight up thieving, it’s more expensive to be gay.

That’s the point of oppression. It is always the point of oppression. It is not a side effect, or a bug. It is the reason oppression exists.
