this changes everything oh my god

do you understand why it trips me out that people can drive 45 minutes and be in aNOTHER COUNTRY? I drive for 45 minutes and im like

a city over 

I live in “Italy” and took a day trip to go to “Austria” and “Germany”

Chums, that’s sweet, and all, but Australia just ate Texas for breakfast.

If you drive for 45 minutes in Australia you aren’t a city over, you’re just 45 minutes away from the city.

If you drive for 45 minutes in Australia you may not even leave the cattle station.

If I drive for 45 minutes in Northern Ireland I’m 10 minutes into the sea.

I can’t drive. 

“power corrupts” does NOT mean “oppression purifies”

Every time I see a post making some unhinged claim about which workers are too privileged (Baristas aren’t workers because Starbucks is bourgeois! Artists are petite bourgeoisie landlords!) or which average people aren’t suffering enough (a family member sending you home with leftovers or lending you grocery money means you benefit from intergenerational wealth!) it floors me, not only because it’s stupid, but also because the underlying message is that nearly everyone has been corrupted except for the most abjectly destitute amongst us, which inherently means that the people in the latter group must continue to suffer in order to maintain their purity so that they will still be deserving when the revolution/rapture/whatever finally comes. It just makes me fucking insane, because suffering is not purifying! It does not make people worthy! And nobody should have to maintain suffering to “earn” a just reward!

This is what happens when you build a hierarchy based on who suffers more. You just create a race to the bottom.
