"Never be ignored"? Should mean: immediately countered, either with your own force or by calling in help. Get laws passed to punish those who are cruel to animals & fight to get them actually enforced.

There is no such subject "society". There are only members of the society. In capitalist society, those who support capitalism push charity - the redistribution of wages - rather than paying the full value of labor obtained from workers.

A late comer to Mutual Aid; read his forerunner: Piotr Kropotkin's MUTUAL AID (1902) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_Ai…
La société de mes rêves est une société d'entraide.

Mme Thatcher et les libéraux souhaitent l'inverse.

Dans son ouvrage "L'Entraide, l'autre loi de la jungle", Pablo Servigne montre que la logique de l'entraide est prévalente sur la compétition dans la nature.

Il explique que e aggraverait les catastrophes, car elle ne permet pas l'entraide.

This kind of brutal exploitation has been going on every place capitalism has taken over. The only thing that stops it is workers self-organizing enough to force their employer to improve wages & working conditions. In the Congo bosses have goon squads to stop it.

Children, women and men in Congo risk death mining cobalt for our phones and electric cars. Many have already died. This genocide is ignored while Big Tech companies profit from exploitation and consumerism. We can no longer look away. Write “Free Congo" SPEAK UP!

There is no such thing as "reading 'objectively'". We always read as individuals from our own perspective & needs. Because we all need less work, reading Marx will show you how less work has been won: through mass struggle - for the 8hr/day, 5day/wk, paid retirement, etc.

And HOW is this achieved, this belief? By creating a world of hierarchies & competition, which pits people against each other in efforts to rise & not be thrown to the bottom + ideology, from Social Darwinism to modern economics that holds up competition as an ideal.

It's all too rare. The usual is more like what Shell did to Ogoniland in the Niger Delta: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Saro-…

Blow this off & read his MEDITATIONS. In Book I (of 12) he acknowledges those who shaped his life. readaurelius.org/book/1 Who shaped yours?

So too, have generations of little kids reared where they have had access to mud or dust & enjoyed the feel & satisfaction of their bare feet mucking through either, wet or dry.
“The old people came literally to love the soil and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power. It was good for the skin to touch the earth and the old people liked to remove their moccasins and walk with bare feet on the sacred earth.” r, Sicangu-Oglala Lakota, (1868-1939)

Enough truth to take seriously, BUT it ignores a third factor: how capitalism has filled our environment with cancer causing toxics & carcinogens.

Another oversimplification of electoral politics that fails to recognize it as a terrain of class struggle in which workers have won victories despite how the game is rigged, e.g., reduced work time, social security, welfare, foot stamps, safety regs, eco-protections.

Worse than the old Cliff Notes! At least with them you had read 20-30 pages. These fuckers provide a way to skip reading almost entirely. Guaranteed: you WON'T understand shit from 20 seconds. la.utexas.edu/users/hcleaver…
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it.”

Real understanding is short. That’s why Deepstash condenses the best books and thinkers into 5 minutes. 📲

In short: it was shameless theft then; it still is.
The Benin bronzes are in the British Museum.

More than 900 of them.

They were taken in 1897, when a British punitive expedition burned the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin, a kingdom with which Britain had diplomatic and trade relations, and whose metalwork was among the ticated on the planet.

Taken. As loot. During a raid.

They are still there.

The British Museum has had decades of requests for their return.

The responses have involved long conversations about legal frameworks and cultural heritage law and the logistics of preservation and the importance of these objects being seen by international audiences.

The objects have seen international audiences.

From inside Britain.

The argument is, essentially: we took these things, we built an institution around the taking, the institution now benefits from housing them, and their presence here proves their importance, which justifies our continued possession of them.

This is not a difficult argument to identify.

It is the colonial argument in miniature, running in the present tense.

The history was removed.

The evidence of the history was also removed.

Sometimes to museums.

Forget "instinct". What you have here is individual decision making about the best way to get beyond the fence.

Suggestion: let there be no more "pets", only companions, friends, & yes, when appropriate 'family members'.

When I taught about workers having to sell their "labor-power" (Marx jargon), I asked my students: "Which part of your body & its abilities are you going to prostitute? Your brain? Your hands? Your genitals? Your creativity? Think about it."
I have to agree with her

Or, you could ignore this wing of the murder industry because you've decided to stop killing innocent animals who you don't need to eat & who have done you no harm.
