you ever catch a glimpse of a cloud passing in front of a full moon and you’re suddenly a highwayman in an 18th century ghost story who just left a tavern on a chilly october night to ride horseback through the woods till you reach the next town over

Anonymous asked: how dare you say Sweden is being helped by refugees when it is now the rape capital of the world and women can't even walk down the street in peace.
You fucking clown.
1) Sweden’s definition of rape is now broader than any other country in the world. For example, what would be considered sexual harassment in one country is considered to be rape in Sweden. It’s not that Sweden suffers from more rapes than other countries; it’s that other countries don’t define as many acts of sexual violence as rape as does Sweden.
2) There is zero correlation between the intake of refugees and any increase in sexual violence in Sweden, as we’ve already pointed out.
3) In fact, it appears that refugees are less-likely to commit crimes than native-born Swedes. Just like in Germany and the UK and the US.
So take your racist scapegoating bollocks and shove it up your arse.
What level of ideology is this
“Socialism being an ideal towards which we are working, it is natural that there should be some differences of opinion in that future society. Since we are living under Capitalism it is natural that many people’s ideas of Socialism should be coloured by their experiences of life under the present system. We must not be surprised that some who recognise the present system is bad should yet lack the imagination to realise the possibility of abolishing all the institutions of Capitalist society. Nevertheless there can be no real advantage in setting up a half-way-house to socialism. A combination of Socialism and Capitalism would produce all sorts of injustice, difficulty and waste. Those who happen to suffer under the anomalies would continually struggle for a return to the old system. Full and complete Socialism entails the total abolition of money, buying and selling, and the wages system. It means the community must set itself the task of providing rather more than the people can use of all the things that the people need and desire, and of supplying these when and as the people require them. Any system by which the buying and selling system is retained means the employment of vast sections of the population in unproductive work. It leaves the productive work to be done by one portion of the people whilst the other portion is spending its energies in keeping shop, banking, making advertisements and all the various developments of commerce which, in fact, employ more than two-thirds of the people today. Given the money system, the wage system is inevitable. If things needed and desired are obtainable only by payment those who do the work must be paid in order that they may obtain the means of life. The wages system entails such institutions as the old-age pension, sick and unemployment insurance and widow’s pensions, or the Poor Law, and probably plus the Poor Law. These involve large numbers of people drawn from productive work to do purely administrative work. Thus useless toil is manufactured, and the burden of non-producers maintained by the productive workers is increased.”

you know those “10 hours of rain sounds”? I need one that’s 10 hours of brit marling talking about life and the universe and everything.
Like, you want janitors and McDonald fast food workers and cleaners.
You just don’t want them to make a liveable wage and have healthcare and be treated like proper human beings.
The myth of Mitt Romney's heroism crashed and burned even sooner than expected
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING. Yes, the state of our Union is not a laughing matter. I am well aware of that, but the fact that ANYONE could seriously consider Romney’s Op-Ed as a rebuke of Trump or that he had “fired a warning shot” at our out of control Bastard President is laughable. Romney has ALWAYS had his feet (and his ideology) FIRMLY planted on the Right Wing side of the Republican Party. There is nothing HEROIC or ADMIRABLE about Mitt Romney. He has always been and will always be a Republican SCHMUCK.
one of the millions of things i liked about spider-verse was that not only did all the female characters look different from each other, they gave mary jane her classic dimples and square chin, which might not seem like a big deal but you’d be surprised how much tiny details like those can make women in comic books look distinct
also seriously it feels like some animated films are pushing it to have two female characters who look even slightly different so i appreciate that spider-verse made sure every woman in it looked distinct from each other

@babutchka SHE….
“When you look at the words that he [Donald Trump] uses, which are historic dog whistles of white supremacy. When you look at how he reacted to the Charlottesville incident, where neo-Nazis murdered a woman, versus how he manufactures crises like immigrants seeking legal refuge on our borders, it’s — it’s night and day…”
someone being a jerk: i have depression okay????
