Shallow Green Resistance: "The Hope Here"
dagseoul:
I’m not picking on frustrated-teenage-anarchist with this post. I follow him. I’m simply sharing the quote he posted. My frustration is directed at its author and not him. Got it.
So. Here’s what Premadasi Amada, Deep Green Resistance organizer, has to say:

Before he was 8, things were fine and dandy and he’s a happy adorable snotrag!
He isin’t treated any differently and if he is, he’s too young to notice at the time.
He’s 10. He’s talented at creating animation and draws like a pro.

Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Woman: Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government: Because. Sex isn't for recreation.
Woman: It can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government: Too bad.
Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government: Do you have a penis?
Man: YES, YES I DO!!
Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government: But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.
Woman: But-
Government: Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy.

amouthygirl:
Walking down the street and on the side of the road
I see a dirty, poor man carrying a heavy load.
He looked at me in the eyes just as I passed
I smiled, and he turned to follow me so fast.
He wanted to talk, couldn’t find the word
Or maybe he thought I wouldn’t have heard.
But then he finally spoke, his voice subdued
All he needed was some money for some food.
He said,...

I took a peek at some of the comments on the recent post that Tumblr is considering banning blogs that promote things like eating disorders and suicide. Predictably, many people are whining about how Tumblr is taking away their right to free speech.
If you are of this mindset, please note the following:

We're all Human
dank-potion:
Please refrain from saying this when I’m discussing racism.
I’m aware that we’re all human. You don’t need to tell me that, I’m not the one treating people like they’re sub-human. That’s a very mediocre and condescending way to respond when someone is discussing a serious problem that’s affecting the quality of peoples’ lives around the world.

socialismartnature:
See, humans are naturally inclined toward socialist behavior! That’s why the capitalist ruling class needs to make such immense use of various forms of ideological, economic, physical, and social coercion against us in order to keep its order in existence [i.e., prisons, media, police, politicians, scapegoating, racism/sexism/xenophobia, etc.]
