i find this shit sooooooooo fucking annoying and frankly unworthy of respect… obviously advertising and branding are powerful and that’s why companies invest in them but i genuinely have no fucking patience for grown ass adults acting like corporations are standing their holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to spend money on their stuff. it’s genuinely pathetic to me. grow the actual fuck up please

#this isn’t the worst example i’ve seen but i guess it’s a straw breaking the camel’s back moment #bc this mentality is everywhere and it’s fucking annoying every time #by grow the fuck up i don’t even mean stop spending money on disney stuff #i mean stop acting like you are being helplessly oppressed and incapable of exercising choice #also i feel like going to the parks is actually qualitatively different than listening to a soundtrack #bc of the labor stuff…. not that i think going to a disney park makes someone like evil #but it does kind of gesture to other limits of this sort of ‘corporate helplessness’ style analysis #reminiscent of AHP being like ‘i’m burned out bc i HAVE to grow tomatoes because of Culture’ #you literally don’t. grow up

Not to mention that, frankly, abortion is currently illegal or inaccessible across way too much of the US and birth control is expensive AF, so if you want people to stop stealing baby care essentials you might do better to use your corporate power to lobby for free and accessible reproductive healthcare, frankly.

Because a lot of people stealing baby care essentials really didn’t fucking choose to be pregnant, frankly; they’re forced into it for political reasons.

Don’t get me wrong; nappy and baby care product drives are 100% useful and wonderful community responses to need. But that doesn’t stop the fact that there is a systemic political reason why theft of expensive specialist baby care items is quite common. That requires political action.

So when corporate entities attempt to turn responses to political and systemic injustices into a personal responsibility and blame game, I’m always going to remind them of the systemic reasons, and suggest they use their corporate power to tackle it.

It also underlines how much political decisions in putative democracies (the US is bad for it but FAR from the only culprit) are affected by corporate interests and corporate lobbying. Which is necessary AF.

The Barbie movie’s got me digging back into Roland Barthes

#something about the sign and the signifier and removing #and how an image divorced from its original context and placed in a new one can have completely different meanings #a French flag in France has a totally different meaning and narrative than a French flag flying in Algeria #was I think the example he used #and I get that gerwig was pulling Barbie out of the box/ her context and just playing with her the way weird little girls do #to work out their understandings of the real world and building one they prefer #but CAN you divorce Barbie from a corporate capitalist context?? #like I get why you don’t want to include issues of class in a Barbie movie #but feminist statements about patriarchy and it’s creation and its maintenance CANT exclude class #I think it was de Beauvoir who pointed out how patriarchy and private property are entertained #and I know steinhem wrote about how her middle class existence was sold to her as an American ideal but it made her and all her college #friends completely miserable #like they’d won the class lottery #but even still the system was actively oppressing them #but these aren’t really coherent thoughts #I did enjoy the depressed Barbie commercial so much I howled with laughter

really tho when i finish the iceberg/conspiracy wall in some suitable to publish and possible to comprehend manner, it's over for cdpr.

it's all connected. all their mistakes and the game wild hunt could've been if they didn't constantly make the worse decision on hand. it actually is that simple; they did run out of time for most of act 3, they do have a teenage boy ass boner for triss, and they did make the climax of blood&wine a nonsense mess to justify an epic bossfight.

the answer for everything is a straight white man who wants to make money.

#im too hard on them every other studio with corporate interest is gazillion times worse #for better or worse (mostly worse) i give a shit about this franchise #(through gritted teeth) the scoia'tael should have mattered to make a further point about colonialism and oppression and war and racism #im almost getting cynical enough to start thinking eternal fire is an accident rather than conscious dunking on catholicism #anyway its 3am. cdpr writes ocs well and carnal sins is the best quest #shut up elis #the witcher

my spoiler free review for barbie is that i wish they had gone over the script one less time than they did

#my spoileriffic review for barbie is weird amount of homophobia! esp for a movie marketed as For The Girls And Gays TM #but the production was so great and margot robbie and ryan gosling specifically both killed it so hard #enjoyable film just for the love of god do not take it as any ideological guide #peak white straight corporate feminism for sure. #the reason i say i wish theyd have gone over it one less time is that i also strongly suspect executive meddling contributed to those issue #anyway im glad the basic tenets of feminism are now common enough knowledge for this movie to be even made #but im sick and tired of films marketing themselves as woke bc Feminism without ever directly acknowledging any other form of oppression #scout talks high

i think a lot abt that one blogger who posted smth like “id much rather see pups & bears & leather daddies at pride rather than cops or corporations or tiktok users w pansexual pride icons. btw” bc ok the first part of that post i agree with. but then @ the end its like?? do u seriously in ur heart of hearts believe that ppl on tiktok who happen to id as pan are anywhere near as bad as the police and big corporations?? like. when u typed that out did u not see the massive difference between those groups of ppl ??

#no other queer person who uses a label that u personally find annoying will ever deserve to be put in the same category as the literal cops #who oppress us & corporations that want to exploit us. be real #pups & bears & leather daddies should absolutely be at pride. cops and corporations should definitely not be. how did pansexual tiktok user #get roped into this 😭 one of these things is not like the other #txt

I hate that people are trying to start infighting between the physically and mentally disabled members of our community. Have we learned fucking nothing from watching governments and corporations separate out queer identities to pit each other against? What is fucking wrong with you people how many times do we have to say that the other oppressed person is not stealing your rights and resources???

#read a book go ohtside talk to someone who is different than you oh my fucking god #someone asking for a space to be accessible to them is not the reason why its not accessible to you oh my fucking god #stop blaming other disabled people for your oppression #turn your blame to the corporations and govenrments that are actually actively and happily making you suffer

The fact that you work retail makes a lot of sense actually

Customer service is truly the easiest way to radicalize someone.

#How to be anti-capitalist step one #work in retail #there is no step two #you will hate corporations and the general public’s entitlement so much it’s unreal #When you have to hit a bald white man wearing a confederate flag t shirt and a trump hat with the ‘hello sir how may I help you today :)’ #and you’ll get a glare back or he just ignores you #While his wife screams at you because someone in a completely different part of the corporate web messed up her order #it does something to you I think #especially when you hear them whining about the evil liberals who deny science #when you’re a scientist and can just tell they don’t remember anything from a science class higher than the third grade #anyway #yes #I have been in retail for years and that is partially why I am like this #catharsis of being able to call out absolutely cruel and oppressive dogma when I see it #it feels nice sometimes

there is plenty of criticism to be said of middle class individuals who are landlords, but they're not even the main problem, bc they don't have the ability to buy an entire fucking block or multiple apartment buildings, they can't swoop in and buy properties dirt cheap bc they don't care what condition it's in, not in the way that businesses can afford to spend a little on renovations and then use that to charge five times more in rent than what it actually should be, and can afford for those properties to sit vacant, bc they are not basing their profits off of just one or a few properties, they have dozens or hundreds more. this is businesses manipulating everything like usual.

#personal #i'm just so irritated by this lie that landlords are on the same level of small business owners #like when people try to argue for giving businesses even more advantages #by acting like that's what's necessary to help keep mom and pop's open #which again there is plenty of criticism to be said there #the upper middle class absolutely contributes in oppressing lower income people #but that isn't even the main issue!! #the very basis of those arguments is a lie bc everything is going to benefit major corporations first and foremost
