it’s also disgusting to see how tech companies make prices so high and even have anti repair measures. if you can, buy tech secondhand!
Today’s society is no longer Foucault’s disciplinary world of hospitals, madhouses, prisons, barracks, and factories. It has long been replaced by another regime, namely a society of fitness studios, office towers, banks, airports, shopping malls, and genetic laboratories. The society of the 21st century is no longer disciplinary, but a society of the performance. Nor are its inhabitants called ‘subjects of obedience’, but ‘subjects of performance’. These subjects are entrepreneurs of themselves.
Excess work and performance escalate into auto-exploitation. This is much more effective than the exploitation by the others, because it is accompanied by a feeling of freedom. The exploiter is the same exploited. Victim and executioner can no longer differentiate. This self-referentiality generates a paradoxical freedom, which, because of the structures of obligation immanent to it, becomes violence […] In this society of obligation, each one carries with him his forced labor field.
What proves problematic is not individual competition per se, but rather its self-referentiality, which escalates into absolute competition. That is, the achievement-subject competes with itself; it succumbs to the destructive compulsion to outdo itself over and over, to jump over its own shadow. This self-constraint, which poses as freedom, has deadly results..
No-longer-being-able-to-be-able leads to destructive self-reproach and auto-aggression. The achievement-subject finds itself fighting with itself. The depressive has been wounded by internalized war. Depression is the sickness of a society that suffers from excessive positivity. It reflects a humanity waging war on itself.
Today, everyone is an auto-exploiting labourer in his or her own enterprise. People are now master and slave in one. Even class struggle has transformed into an inner struggle against oneself.

fellow mr. beast haters and skeptics...they all doubted us but we knew.
If you feel uncomfortable wearing a mask, due to personal reasons, perhaps try looking into options like visors that shield the face, or beekeeper style protection!
The World Day Against Trafficking in Persons is every July 30th, and was first officially recognized by the United Nations in 2013.
It’s World Day Against Trafficking!
Here’s some things you should know...
There are upwards of 40.3 million people in slavery today. Men, women, and children of all races.
Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise, generating $150 billion annually. It is predicted to soon become the largest criminal industry in the world.
99% of sex trafficking victims are female
65% of labor trafficking victims are male
1 in 4 modern slavery victims are children
The average age a child enters the sex trade is 12-14 years
Pornography, a $95 billion industry, and sex trafficking is tightly linked. Studies show roughly half of women sex trafficked were forced to film pornography.
ICE is one of the primary federal agencies responsible for combating human trafficking.
Estimates suggest that about 50,000 people are trafficked into the US each year, most often from Mexico and the Philippines.
1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted on their journey to cross the border from Mexico to the US
From 2016-2017, ICE officers arrested 30,000 illegal aliens who were previously convicted of sex crimes
Approximately 75% of humanitarian operations worldwide have stopped due to international lockdowns, curfews, and other measures taken in response to COVID-19
The number of crisis trafficking cases handled by the Trafficking Hotline increased by more than 40 percent in the month following the shelter-in-place orders compared to the prior month.
Reports of child exploitation increased by 106% in March 2020 as compared to March 2019
Interpol states, “Ongoing economic consequences of the pandemic are likely to put more people at risk of becoming victims.”
And finally, victims of sexual and physical abuse frequently cannot wear a face mask because it is severely triggering, initiating dehibilitating episodes of panic and PTSD due to a traumatic history of being repeatedly restrained and assaulted. NEVER. EVER. HARASS SOMEONE FOR NOT WEARING A FACE MASK. Stop using the hashtag #WearA—-Mask, don’t call people without a mask selfish and irresponsible, stop creating an atmosphere of shame. Victims of human trafficking and domestic violence deserve respect.
The fact that in this culture, it is normal (almost expected) for pubescent boys to watch and pleasure themselves to videos of women being beaten up, raped, sodomised, even urinated on, usually by force, is horrific.
The fact that in this culture, it is normal (almost expected) for elderly men to watch and pleasure themselves to teenagers roleplaying as daughters, babysitters, cheerleaders, schoolgirls, is horrific.
Do not normalise pornography. It’s not normal. It’s not healthy.
The moral of Rudolph the Red nose reindeer is that no one likes you unless you’re useful.
All the people that start foaming at the mouth defending the Andrew tates and podcast bros without realising that they are the biggest victims of these guys....
Like if a person makes money selling you the solution to a particular problem.... It would be an awful business model to sell the perfect solution.
That is exactly what these podcasters are doing. They create a problem that seems infuriating (e.g.women desiring only one kind of man) .Then they give solutions that seem ideal i.e treat women like shit or"train " them etc. But if that was a fail safe solution these red pill content creators will lose their source of income... The aspiring alpha dudes . Of course these solutions won't work for obvious reasons and these victims will go back to the content creators so they can have the solution to the never ending problem
Sad really.
Their father was so awful they really had a dance party the day of his funeral 💀
Shojo Tsubaki and Anime Exploitation
The stage is set in the 1920s of Japan. Midori is without parents and selling flowers is her only source of income. Poor and destitute, Midori readily accepts Mr. Arashi's offer to join his circus; completely unaware of the horror to come.
Shojo Tsubaki is a story thoroughly drenched in controversy. You'll hardly find a conversation that doesn't revolve around how disturbing and grotesque it is. It's not unwarranted seeing as how the bulk of the story is about Midori suffering. The girl seriously has it rough: Dead parents, dirt poor, deprived peers, added alliteration. Seriously messed up stuff. Any moment of happiness she finds is quickly eclipsed by another traumatic experience.
This is essentially an exploitation film in anime format. Some will argue that " Shojo Tsubaki is actually super deep and it's a reflection of the darkness of humanity!" And that's where I call bs. You could make that argument about literally every piece of torture porn under the sun. If the purpose was to expose humanity's darkness, the manga shoots itself in the foot by being so voyeuristic about everything. Suehiro Maruo's involvement with the eroguro movement provides the clearest perspective on what this manga was about. He's simply the type of man who loves to combine the macabre with heavy sexual themes.
Midori truly is one of the most pitiable manga heroines out there. She suffers abuse throughout almost every moment of her narrative and the tale ends with her completely alone in the world. It was as if the universe itself conspired to torment her. One positive to come out of this tragedy is Tokuriji Muchisate. He's a despicable rapist like the other circus freaks but his character design is just so striking. It's a simple yet effective take on mummies and the traditional Japanese military uniform.
In essence, Shojo Tsubaki is not a fun read or watch. I usually enjoy the surreal works of Suehiro Maruo but he really dialed the nihilism up to 11 with this one.
God, maybe one day someone will bring their friend over for this.
