There Is No Amount Of "contributions To Society" That Justifies The Intentional Subjugation Of Specially

what do u dislike plato

deeply uninterested in any position promising access to a higher, hidden, divine realm of truth ontologically in tension with the material existence of things and their relations to one another. it's a position that appeals to supra-natural handwaving in order to resolve a perceived disjunction between perception and reality without making any effort to historicise or problematise such a disjunction, say perhaps in relation to estranged labour. kant also does this but at least he has the decency to pretend it's constitutive of human psychology and not a regulatory principle of reality in itself. i also think the ethical positions plato expresses through socrates's mouth are laughably optimistic about the existence of a pure and unconditioned truth, the human ability to perceive such a thing, and the immediate rational acceptance of it, which leads most obviously to the deeply annoying socratic solution to "why do people act against their own interests" being "they are deceived, and i don't need to prove that or engage with expressed desires that are contradictory or self-destructive, because i can simply assume these people are deceived, because if they were not then they would do the transcendentally correct thing and be happy and experience no inner conflict". politically reactionary in the way all philosophical idealism is, and more than incidentally psychiatry minded, in the sense of the etymology ψυχή ιατρεία, 'soul healing' (cf nietzche: socrates as the "mystagogue of science", who lived and died 'scientifically', namely, delivered from the fear of death by conviction in the mission to make existence appear comprehensible and therefore justifiable).

sucks hate him think the world needs more insane unruly people unashamed to exist bodily and uninterested in extolling the virtue of self-restraint. "socially contextualise that thang" --karl marx 1844

it sounds like a joke but literally so many of you would've been supportive of the vietnam invasion by america and would've accused draft dodgers and draft card burners of being divisive

So lovely

So we’ve been watching this series called How We Won The War and they’re currently doing a section about female ATA pilots during WW2 and holy shit look how badass they are They were the first women allowed into, let alone fly, an RAF aircraft. Their male peers were of they opinion that they should “go back to the kitchen” so only let them fly shitty archaic planes with open cockpits that nearly caused them to freeze to death one winter. They tried to make them wear skirts and stockings during winter but they were like “haha no” and wore proper flight gear instead. They flew in terrible weather with poor visibility, no radio and no electronic navigational equipment. Though not permitted to fly into combat zones they were still frequently under fire. Over time their contribution to the air force was recognised and the ATA was the first government organisation to give equal pay for equal work regardless of gender.

Maher Zain - Hold My Hand (Thank You Allah: 2009)

I hear the flowers kinda crying loud, the breeze is sounding sad Oh no Tell me when did we become so cold and empty inside Lost our way a long time ago Did we really turn that blind We don’t see that we keep hurting each other, no All we do is just fight

Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon Why don’t we share the same love Tell me why not Life is shorter than most have thought

Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you

Children seem like they’ve lost their smile on the new bloodied playgrounds Oh no How could we ignore heartbreaking crying sounds And we’re still going on Like nobody really cares And we just stopped feeling all the pain because Like it’s a daily basic affair

Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon Why don’t we share the same love Tell me why not Life is shorter than most have thought

Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you

No matter how far I might be, I’m always gonna be your neighbor There’s only one small planet where to be, so I’m always gonna be your neighbor We cannot hide, we can’t deny That we’re always gonna be neighbors Your neighbor, my neighbor We’re neighbors

So, hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind

Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what have left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you
