“I refuse to look at the systemic issues capitalism causes because it currently benefits me.”

I could say the same about your tone.

I am apparently too stupid to attach pictures but I make all my own bread, buns, cookies, and sometimes muffins. I also need to learn cinnamon buns and tortillas but I’m terrible at rolling things out so those I don’t make so much.

A lot of people don’t take these things in to account. Due to health issues I have slowly lost my teeth over the past 15 years. Due to poverty and systemic problems I couldn’t get them fixed. Now I’m in my 40s and left with barely enough teeth to chew - no molars, and my face is shifting because it doesn’t have the support structure anymore, which puts painful pressure on my remaining teeth all the time. Technically my health benefits say they pay for dentures but it’s been nothing but a run around, months and months of waiting for paperwork to be mailed and just utter nonsense while I’m here with a handful of teeth and I’m scared to talk to people or make friends because as soon as people see my teeth the judge me and leave.

They are also about not forcing unwanted pregnancies on women.

I can’t speak from a Muslim perspective, but I can speak from an ex-christian fundamentalist perspective and I think that sometimes, even when we’ve made progress it can be hard to let go of some of the beliefs that direct affect you.

I stopped being a Christian when I became an adult but when I got pregnant I still held tightly to the belief that abortion was murder. I felt it was fine for others to go and do because we all have the right to choose what we do with our bodies, I knew women who’d had abortions, and I never once thought I would go to hell for it, but after a lifetime of conditioning it just felt wrong for me to do. Now I wouldn’t hesitate to get an abortion if I needed one.

Even when one has unpacked the luggage, it can take some time to reorganize it all and discard what you don’t need.

Jesus, I was running through a list of Canadian politicians trying to flit out. I’m stupid. The Crown is actually so irrelevant to me I constantly forget they the King is our head of state NGL. The monarchy needs to be abolished. Any good things that they can claim are only to cover atrocities and they are a net negative on human history.

Who?

The person probably wouldn’t have been homeless if not for capitalism. I also make a habit of not believing third hand stories off the internet.

Maybe disenfranchised people who are forced to live in the street have something to be angry about in a system that trains the wage slaves to dehumanize the people who don’t fit in the same box so that we have something to fear if we stop contributing to the machine.

“Don’t be like him, Little Timmy. You need to go to school and be a good little cog in the machine until you get ill or make a mistake and then it will abandon you and villify you for not being a perfect cog for the billionaires to use up like an infinite resource.”

Traffic and car-centrism exist because of capitalism. Fuck the man, take the bus.
