You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

According to Silvia Federici’s feminist historical critique of capitalism and some of Marx’s opinions on it, capitalism has socialized risk to the state since the 14th century when wage labour started (Zemon Davis 1968 quoted.) So yes, Business As Usual.

A bunch of Israeli politicians said “we will destroy Gaza” and then the IDF blew up the hospitals and shot starving people with snipers and killed everybody in the NICU so all the preemies died but prominent people will still argue with you under their own names about whether or not that’s genocide

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Historiallinen fakta vastaukseksi väitteisiin joiden mukaan natsit olivat sosialisteja: Natsit rakensivat ensimmäisen keskitysleirinsä (Dachau, 1933) poliittisille vastustajilleen, ei juutalaisille. Vangit olivat pääasiassa kommunisteja, sosialidemokraatteja ja ammattiyhdistysaktiiveja.

The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."
