White male here, and to me this speaks of how white amerikkka is inherently built on genocide, bondage and exploitation; about how it has a stranglehold on the resources the rest of humanity not only deserves, but needs to survive; about how amerikkkan greed is cutting off everyone else's air; about how patriotism is inherently coded racism; about how unless amerikkka is sundered, and white amerikkkans made to pay for their crimes a hundredfold, there can be neither peace nor justice for humanity.
And I say that it's exactly right.
I'd say that's arguably feminist due to putting an overt spotlight on the "traditional" emphasis of sexual ownership in marriage, but I suppose that other meanings are possible. That and the thought of it being a pure shock value piece occurred to me. I wonder, is it even meant to be worn, or is it intended to stay on a display stand as art?
Hells to the yeah! I can almost see the Bert/Ernie wedding episode in my head ...
Living in a finished basement is the best cooling factor I've yet found ... especially as a northern USian living in Virginia. Right now, it's as cool as an autumn day in my basement.
Awesome ... I wish I was that wise at his age ... You've done an amazing job as a mom and teacher.
Agreed ... especially on an Ally's Handbook ... I really could've used one a few times ... especially when I was getting the first few units of my 101 on (which, after a couple years and reading dozens of books and hundreds of articles on multiple axes of discrimination, I still feel like I'm doing). And I agree that it's an ally that should write/compile it.
Agreed ... asshats like that are the Kyrarchy's vanguard ... they care only for control - the control to shift the world into a rigid, stratified theocracy.
I remember my dad, a hardcore atheist, telling Mormons that he'd accept their materials to peruse at his leisure IF they drank a can of caffeinated soda in front of him (Mormons ... at least the stricter ones, are forbidden to have caffeine).
No, no doubt at all, even if there had been any in my mind before I watched this. I don't think anyone actually listening would be able to deny it after the very first bit. It's horrible that on top of all the horrors wrought by the American government(that those in power STILL cover up in many cases), that there are more First Nations remains in museums than living First Nations people. Of course, I find the practice of institutions retaining human remains at all appalling. And I apologize in advance for any oddness or incoherence in this post, it being 2AM local ...
Seriously?!? WTF, Mate?! I see this more as an indicator towards how fucked-up our culture is than anything else. I mean, Wal-Mart is all sorts of Greedy!Evil, but they're not gonna do something like this for the lulz ... they expect it'll sell, and they'll be right. Of course, advertising and whatnot has really intensified our culture's obsession to youth-and-beauty. Add "Fuck our overhyped, hypercapitalist, kyrarchical, and materialistic culture" to the "Fuck it" list
