Okay this is an actual Thing I Feel Strongly About, so…
Rich people and corporate execs don’t understand how generous low income people are. They don’t get that
Anyway, as I was saying before I accidentally posted, they don’t get that people supporting other people on Patreon isn’t a case of really well off people who can afford those fee hikes. It’s other artists who aren’t well off, but they’ve got a little and they remember what it’s like to be a starving artist. Rich people give to big showy charities. The rest of us give to one another.
i genuinely hope that everyone in charge of making insulin so insanely expensive in the US gets the guillotine
if you want a great example of capitalistic violence, look no further than these genuinely awful, fucking evil companies making insulin, something that doesnt cost shit to make, charging shit tons of money and the justification is because its required for people to live
in recent years the internet has really become a place for people to spread non-media regulated information and for social justice movements to find their footing. i cannot stop thinking about how this is probably a huge huge reason why net neutrality has been on the chopping block so frequently lately. they want to control what we see because they want to make sure their authority isn’t questioned and they want to make sure people can’t unite. it’s scary.
