Behold the most disgustingly aggressive display of Americanness
I’m just picturing some dude sitting at the dinner table, his assault rifles propped up in the other chairs
“Can you pass the salad, Mom?” he asks the AK-47, but she doesn’t pass the salad
She never passes the salad
“You always do this to me, Mom.”
hot take: the capitalist cultural construction of “humans are naturally greedy and self-centered” is just an attenuated version of the feudal christian construction of “humans are inherently sinful”; both are designed to make people internalize cultural problems and externalize morality.
wait, what was that? creepy men are saying rape culture is natural? white ethno-nationalists are saying humans naturally organize into ethnic identity groups hostile to those unlike them? abled people are saying that humans naturally ‘abandon the weak to die’? what could it all possibly mean?
Just in case anyone wants sources to back this up, I’ve found some pretty nice articles for you to peruse. Human beings are not inherently horrible creatures bent on violence against each other. Evolution doesn’t work like that; where’s the survivability of a species that seeks only to harm its own kind?
An impaired child survived until 10 years old thanks to the tribe.
A disabled man lived to be 45+ despite his disabilities. 500,000 years ago.

i love experiencing how my classmates work to avoid misgendering me. for instance, today one classmate greeted the rest of our small group:
“All right ladies and gentlemen — and Avery”
another time a classmate went:
“Pardon me, ma’am — uh, sir, uh….esteemed one”
and, my absolute fave:
“Hey ladies! — and gentleThem”
i love these moments both because they’re humorous and because they show how hard these folks are trying! it’s not about getting it right every time at first, but consistently correcting yourself!
