Please Circulate This: The French Government (my Country) Has Issued A Warning Against Taking Anti-inflammatory

People are really looking at decreased emissions and clear water and wildlife and saying “This is what the planet would be like if all those humans weren’t ruining it” no, you fuckhead, all the humans are still here, the thing that’s changed is the reduction of overconsumption and overwork that our current system of cronyism and unchecked capitalism demands. If you really think the solution is to remove humans so you can just keep consuming but with less consequences, you’re not just a eugenicist, an ecofascist, and a shitty person overall, you’re fucking stupid. 

Killing off a portion of the population to prop up a poorly designed economy is not, and will never be, a solution. The economy is for the people, not the other way around. If you need to sacrifice people to keep it running, it’s fundamentally failed.

So... it finally downed on y'all that Rick Riordan portrayed pocs inappropriately? Are we surprised a white cishet man from usa wrote poc from a point of ignorance in a problematic way? Come on! Pocs have been criticizing him for years but y'all wouldnt LISTEN.

I'm not really into cancel culture because it doesnt work. This people dont get "erased" from history, their mistakes get erased while their art lives on - they should be acknowledged and held accountable. And I understand people make mistakes and they should have room to grow. But what irks me about seeing "he tries" type of posts defending him is that he doesnt. Maybe when he wrote the books a decade ago he was trying, and well intentioned. I can understand that. And yet if you read his "apology" you'll see he isn't trying anymore. Hes done growing and caring. Instead of writing "I get how it can be offensive, I didn't know better back then, knowing what I know now I would've written this characters differently" but no, he tried to defend it and stood by it. He needs to be held accountable. He needs to know this is not okay. Stop defending him with "the books were very subversive/progressive for their time" that can be said for a lot questionable works of fiction (like Harry Potter or To Kill a Mockkngbird for example) and it doesnt make it right. If we were just talking about what he wrote ten years ago it would be different, we could say that he wasnt being racist but that hes portrayal of poc was problematic for his lack of information, but no, he decided to take the racist label by steppping in and taking a stand defending his previous mistakes and not listening, and trying to decide over poc what is racist - instead of acknowledging he made a mistake and moving on. We grown folk but hes not being mature or "trying".

a good take
