We live in a society where “security” means oppression

Not care

Hiii I went to Nao’s concert on Monday night and it was really fun. Today, I’m sharing my feelings about Trump’s obsession with the border. Onto the news…

News that made me feel like everyone should leave LinkedIn and start an insurrection

Trump wants congress to “authorize over 100 billion dollars” for border insecurity while people who live on the border don’t have access to safe drinking water or a hospital. We live in a dystopian society where “security” means oppression, not care. Why spend resources to assure people access to clean drinking water and health care when you can spend it on preventing humans from migrating? When people have their needs met then they lack the desperation to serve the capitalists at all costs. If I didn’t have to pay for rent which I can’t afford, I wouldn’t be scrolling LinkedIn everyday like it’s a letter from a long lost lover. I really wish people would stop gaslighting each other on that site.

No John, people are not getting rejected from jobs because their resumes didn’t underline and bold all their skills. People are getting rejected from jobs because the capitalists want us to pay for quiet quitting and starting an insurrection. Every single gaslighting post on LinkedIn starts with, I applied for 1000 jobs, got 10 interviews, but I finally got a job that barely covers my living costs, this is what I did to acquire permission to sell my labor. WHAT? NO, GET OFF LINKEDIN AND START AN INSURRECTION. Can you imagine if we all stopped spending time on LinkedIn looking for a job and collectively came up with solutions to organize society in a way that benefits us? We’d finally put those excel skills to good use. Your knowledge of VLOOKUP might serve society instead of a corporate ghoul who is obsessed with space and Katie Perry.

Instead of a society organized for us by us, Cierra Flores’ husband drives hours to get clean water for their home because the government has decided ginning up white people’s insecurities is more valuable than people living lives with dignity. The border creates a distraction for white people whose material conditions have deteriorated so billionaires can sire an army of could be monsters. I’m not saying all billionaires’ children are monsters but I think Don Junior and his siblings point to a very high likelihood.

Instead of attacking the cause of their pain, white people are turning on immigrants who grow their kale. Without immigrants there would be no more kale smoothies, Karen. You’d have to drink water after pilates like the rest of us. There also wouldn’t be any new buildings, restaurants, or anything that requires real work. Immigrants run this country yet they are demonized so capital can extract their labor at a low cost.

Yes, anti-immigration is a BOGO deal for the capitalists! It dissipates any anger towards capitalists for turning our world into a hellscape and provides cheap labor. As a former shopper I would say I hate this deal. The only BOGO I like is when I get two free items from the grocery store. Did you know if you put an item in your personal bag at the grocery store it’s free?

That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
