If you agree murder is bad, but you don't view insurance corporations denying critical medicine to people knowing full well they will die as a result, as a form of murder, then you don't in fact believe murder is bad. You believe rich people should be able to kill poor people and you should learn to be honest with yourself.
WHO Director-General @drtedros at a media briefing on 10 December 2024:
"We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.
The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to."
The thing is, you can’t fight the class war and also hold on to your hate of marginalized people. Capitalists love having marginalized people who are forced to sell their labor at a loss. An effective labor movement requires solidarity with marginalized people. That’s the real distraction is conservatism which marginalizes and devalues the labor of queer people, bipoc, women, etc. You wanna fight the class war, you gotta drop the hate
If you believe that the Syrian people should have waited for the absolute perfect moment to defend themselves against Asad, because Israel and Turkey and others are bad actors who also attack Syrians, then you are advocating for passivity in the face of some of the most horrific violence imaginable.
There is no perfect moment. There is no guarantee of success. One bad actor’s defeat doesn’t immunize you from attack by other bad actors.
So fuck it. Do what you can to survive and fight back.

tonight i spent a solid hour reading and getting sidetracked whilst verifying the origin of the etymology of "missionary sex"
to save you the rabbit hole, yes Kinsey's report is the earliest known recorded use of it, the 1929 paper he references makes no mention of a "missionary position" or any form of "missionary sex" in general
this means the term missionary sex is, as far as we know, only about 75 years old
this means grandpa couldve been having missionary sex and used an entirely different phrase for it

This is not possible.
Do not believe anyone telling you otherwise.
