I’m a parent and this is definitely a fear for me.
Part of parenting is teaching (mostly by example and some guidance) and then allowing them to be their own person and take their own journey. Child autonomy is incredibly important, and trying to make sure they turn out the way you want is destined to not only fail, but to hurt them and destroy your relationship.
I think teaching some basic understanding of the world, and how it actually functions, as well as having real experiences in the world that allows them to experience it firsthand without your direct meddling is what I’m trying to do. A year of working at Wal Mart taught my son more about capitalism than all of the lectures I’ve ever given on it.
Also, try to involve them in your organizing, especially stuff like Food Not Bombs, Tenant Unions, and things like that that give them direct experience not only organizing but getting to know a diverse community personally.
Can you define ethical vegan consumption?
Empire in decline seeking to prop itself back up by escalating a cold war, ramping up military spending and snuffing out criticism/resistance by rallying around the flag and the inevitable media support/frenzy/propaganda that entails.
raddle is kinda shit, but better than most alternatives. That’s probably my go-to.
That’s fucking stupid. To say that a sodium pump in one of my cells trading out a sodium ion for another sodium ion or potassium ion, or anything else is the equivalent of death is fundamentally stupid. To go above that and say that having a cell die and be replaced by a newer cell is tantamount to my death is also stupid. The basic premise of your existential crisis doesn’t make any sense, and even if it did, why not take the path of the man in the comic? Present self has no right to kill future self, nor any reason to do so. Even if you are right, there are a million moments of happiness and contentment that future you can experience, even if they are ultimately fleeting, and even if their existence is ultimately fleeting.
We’re a ways away. We have a temporary crisis on our hands now. Production is ramping back up, millions are still poor and desperate and eviction moratoriums will end. Now is just a moment. One that could contribute towards a revolutionary one, but this is not the end crisis yet, just another hiccup in the capitalist machine.
What about the duck rape though?
