100 years ago 14 year olds were real coal miners, now they just do it in video games
The fact that we have a history where people had to BEG the government to enact child labor laws shows you how scary this country is and where it came from. MOST of these western countries have histories with child labor abuses, just like with institutional racism and women’s rights. Evil is here on earth.

all public school anti-bullying activism is extremely transparent and meaningless
faculty: BULLYING IS BAD!! ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY!! THIS IS A HATE FREE ZONE!!
me: hey this person called me a stupid dyke today
faculty: hmm that’s unfortunate. have you tried perhaps, not being gay?
I feel like everyone is against bullying until they actually look at the kids who are being bullied.
The cheesy anti-bullying tapes that they show in schools feature these skinny straight white neurotypical kids who get picked on for no reason. Usually the insults are something along the lines of “You’re a loser!” or “Get lost, freak.” All the kids watching immediately feel bad for the victim, and think “Aw! She didn’t deserve that!”
Then, ten minutes later, they go pick on some marginalized kid without thinking twice. As an autistic person, I was often this kid. The insults I heard growing up were not “You’re a loser!” or “Get lost, freak.” They were “Don’t let the retard work with us” or “Shouldn’t she be going to the special school?”
The problem is we teach kids that bullying occurs for no other reason other than just to be mean. This could not be further from the truth. Bullying occurs because as a society, we condition kids into hating fat, black, neurodivergent, queer, and disabled people. Kids don’t bully each other just to be mean. They do it because if something’s “wrong” with the person, it’s completely justified.
But of course, we can’t tell kids this kind of stuff. We can’t say, “Hey! Making fun of your gay classmate is bad!”
Because when we do, suddenly the phone calls come pouring in, each with a parent on the other end screaming “You can’t be feeding my son that liberal propaganda!”

portraying prostitution and porn as some empowering work “choice” that involves some sort of genuine willingness to progress and commit to it like some sort of “career” is a flat out lie that’s transparent as hell. being anti-prostitution + porn is pro-prostituted and porn-involved women. why? how? well 90% of prostituted women want out. in many parts of the world, prostituted women earn less than $3 an act. prostitution and porn are rape because consent is only true consent if given willingly without any coercion (money is coercive). 88% of porn is violence against women. drug use in porn and prostitution by almost all women involved shows how the women need to numb themselves to endure it. porn (mostly) and prostitution affects every woman in the world due to the correlation of use with violence, aggression and misogyny from men.
do not silence the horrors of porn and prostitution.
There’s nothing out here. The grass is rarely greener. If you have someone who’s down for you, who firmly encourages you to improve or simply just invests energy into your progression, don’t fuck them over.
