Don't
let them tell you who you are! If you hate the way you look, or the way
you feel, don't add guilt on top of the guilt! Use that self-loathing
to propel yourself forward. Never settle. Never give up. Never be
satisfied!
Acquiescence is Death.
Keep on improving! Be who you want to be!
Don't
feed into the bullshit. Looks matter. They matter a lot. We're told we
are special and should be comfortable in our own skin and nothing
matters; but it fucking does. Shit matters. YOU matter. FUCK the plebs
who are happy with their pathetic peasant life and FUCK the bourgeois
who look down their nose and tell you how special you are just the way
you are.
Appearances are one of the limited ways to gain power, other than wealth and connections.

The 1%
The wealthy and powerful did not get to where they are by accident. They got there precisely by being able to take advantage of situations around them in order to benefit themselves. The poor are poor for exactly the opposite reason.
Tell me why it is that you think you can make a system that will turn that fact on its head?
It would seem to me, that if we somehow make the system bigger, and more grandiose with more power, somehow this will lead to those so skilled at taking advantage of things... having a larger and more grandiose power to take advantage of!

Minimum Wage
So, apparently the minimum wage is like, an issue.
Seattle raised theirs to $15!!

Rand Paul has the right idea
http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials-perspective/050714-700012-falling-middle-class-incomes-bigger-problem-than-minimum-wage.htm
but more importantly, of course, is my opinion.
As long as borders are easy to cross, all it really does is effectively forces the lower class out of the area, and into the neighboring one, as long as they too, do not have such a crazy minimum wage.
Although minimum wage also accompanies welfare and unemployment benefits for those who do not work.
So what will really happen, is that all the lower class but hard working people (the young, uneducated, the minorities) will leave, and the class differences will deepen, because those who won't or can't work will be the only ones left, that, and the upper class of people who are worth at least 15/hour.
What the average Seattleite will see is a increase in the number of people they like (bourgeois like themselves) and a starker, more pronounced kind of lower class (the truly destitute), which will only deepen their resolve, as the working middle class disappears from there area, and therefor from the public Zeitgeist.
As long as oil stays cheap, Minimum wage will be fine here, as we export our 'poor people' to China, and the Chinese government is strong enough to enslave *their* people.
Don't you fucking get it? The Chinese are our slaves, and the United States Government pays the oil companies to keep them that ay, because of the way the federal reserve works, and because of our minimum wage laws.
The only difference is in what you see. You don't have to see the slaves in YOUR back yard, somehow its okay now.
I support racial equality. Therefor I am against the minimum wage, and the federal reserve. I hope you will join me in ending the racial discrimination against those outside the capital nation.
People who are for the minimum wage have no idea the stress and frustration of owning a company, or the work involved, or, more importantly, the finances involved. If you think that business owners are money grubbing lazy people sucking the value from their workers, you are clearly a valueless worker who cannot increase his value by any other way but the use of violence.
here is no difference between a Mom and Pop business, and a 'corporation'. It is a legal status; what you hate, is the special benefits certain well-connected businesses receive over others, which does in fact, hurt the poor very much. I hate them too.
What you need to learn, is that you cannot use that very same government to "correct" the problems of those corporations being in bed with the government. It will not happen; unless it benefits those corporations. That's why minimum wage is pushed, because it sounds like a benefit.
Minimum wage is the most bumper sticker ideology there is. Its like, "oh, i feel bad for the poor, so lets have SOME ONE ELSE (because I'm not a fucking business owner) give them more money! I'm so enlightened and CHARITABLE (with other people's money)"
There is a very large difference between what you would like to see happen, and what is possible. In the real world, you ignore that difference at the danger of empowering those who are willing to literally sell you an impossible dream.
Utopianism has been dead for a while now. Its time to wake up and realize no amount of violence will bring us peace.
Have the Chinese buy U.S. bonds, raise the minimum wage in the United States, import products from China, and use the federal reserve to pay for indefinite unemployment benefits.

Kareem Abdul and Cliven
As a white, straight, man, I don't get, really ever, to play the "race" "gender" or "sexuality" card. Ever. My whole life I've been told "its terrible to have prejudices based on on race, gender or sexuality!" and I've also been told "because you are a white straight man you are going to oppress women, hold back blacks, and belittle the gays!"
....
you see that, don't you? read it again, if it doesn't seem obvious at first glance
....
the glaring contradiction may not equal, at all, even close to, what its like being told to go sit in the back of the bus... but at some point, telling me that my role in the struggle for "minority" rights is to practice tolerance so bad it hurts, (women are the statistical majority btw, never understood how they got considered part of minority rights...), it just gets... tiresome; and I do in fact, feel like I am the one trying to let the issue go, and treat people reciprocally to how it is they treat me. If that's not what not being a racist looks like, treating each person THE SAME, then I do not know.
It would appear, that as long as my gender, sex, and orientation of people statistically has more than the "minority" class, I should be bending backwards to.. what? Give an upper hand to "them" until "we" no longer are at a statistical disadvantage? I really, really, really don't get what I ought to be doing here; because I have thought long and hard about "right" and "wrong", and work my balls of to be the best, most moral mother-fucking sonovabitch that has ever been.
I assure you, in my case, that if you are a woman and I hate you, or if you are black and I hate you, or if you are gay and I hate you, it has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that you are a bad person.
