  • I got real pissed off the other year at a company that charges a lot for bespoke trash at the best of times, but sold a bunch of rainbow stuff with some proceeds going to queer charities. My problem was, the majority of folk interested in this paraphernalia are queer folk ourselves. So it’s a charity boost x swindle where they simultaneously:

    • coerce us to donate to charities that support us, like expecting leukaemia patients to donate to Cancer Research, taking money from the very demographic that should be getting it;
    • take boosted profits for themselves from the very community that should be supported with the money.

    If they really wanted to show support in a non-extortionate capitalist way they could donate their own business money to Stonewall and discount, not overcharge, us.

    I used to joke about 9/11 but then I got really angry that the US has spent a significant portion of her existence violently bombing random countries into submission; creating the enemies and resistance she calls terrorists and then being salty when they hit back; brainwashing patriotism into her people; and unfairly dominating the global media and news supply. Al Qaeda was founded because the US blew up their friends and family and no, brainwashed citizens, the actions of some random arms and drug dealers 4 thousand miles away does not in any way affect or threaten your suburban white family, fuck you and don’t join the army.
