"ask yourself, is this good for the company?" - fuckers

the americans conquered a country and are colonizing it to
support their demand for oil to run their automobiles and
produce all their high end synthetic distillations of the
natural world.

Petroleum waste gets burned at sea by hundreds of huge smoke
tankers owned by various companies and nations who burn
regularly and do so obfuscated from the eyes of social
awareness.

Dolphins, by all of our names for intelligence and means of
categorizing, marginalizing, and understanding, are
significantly more advanced biologically and in turn,
socially, as a species, than we are. Their complex and
intriguing interactions incorporate many more levels and
intensities of communication and societal awareness than
ours, including scientifically based and very rational and
non-fantastic telepathy. When a human and a dolphin
interact, our brain's EEG readings are much like that of an
anesthetized subject. There has been a lot of creative
research on the healing and psychological power of dolphins,
though much of it inconclusive. If you are more interested,
there are a lot of resources on the studies of spotted
dolphins in the bahamas and bottle noses in japan.

When we took this country from the native north americans
who lived here, a ball started rolling. From slavery to
blatant gender inequality, we've come a long way in 200
years in terms of societal progression and development.
However, the most change significant and applicable to our
contemporary lives took place in the last fifty years.

In the 60s and 70s, we saw the birth of a great many
revolutionary kinds of thinking including new and
enlightening forms of radical psychology, and through
activism and the freshly budding feminism, new forms of
social awareness and a potential to more fully realize and
be comfortable with one's self.

In 1980, things were looking good, except that consumerist
culture was on the uprise after the quashing of all the
forementioned progress.

Over the last twenty years, the gender and class roles

Over the last twenty years, the gender and class roles
played by humans in this culture have become both more
antagonistic to our lives, and more subtle in their
appearance.

As a young white male, I have more power than I ever
realized, as I am limited only by financial class and
background, and that is a much easier thing to transcend
than the biases exploited by gender and race.

Think about change? Think about all the people that don't
care because they don't know how to care. I didn't know how
to care, a year ago. I was aware of issues, and often
dismissed them with the simple, I cannot make a difference.
Eventually I grasped that I could make a difference in at
LEAST my own life, and that self-empowerment and a sense of
freedom was completely essential to my happiness both with
myself, and with any other human being I wanted to get close
to.

Then, despite all the knowledge and self-satisfying
intelligence and possible nihilistic theory, my eyes were
opened by the words of a few particular non-fiction
accountings of our times, and the extremely insightful
revelations of Barbara Ehrehnreich's In the Hearts of
Men
.

I have massive amounts of power, to be hedonistic with, to
be responsible with, to simply use and be aware of in all my
actions.

I didn't know I was a feminist until I began understanding
of feminism on a deeper level than had been exposed by the
words and thoughts of my peers.

Straight up-- feminism is called feminism because it is
about awareness of oppression and the roles we are forced to
assume. While there are proposed feminist solutions to
problems of the world, more core and invaluable are the very
simple raw awareness offered. It is humanism, but it is
humanism that demands attention and awareness, and in it's
current manifestation, women are the most obvious and
important focal point.

I am a feminist, and through that awareness and acceptance,
found a missing piece of life-puzzle. That missing piece
bridged gaps between literally ALL of my life's i

ALL of my life's interests, dreams, and gaps.

Fascinating shit, if you ask me.

I'm not really into feminism. I just think our society is
fucked for even labeling something "feminism". I mean who
the fuck created these (sex/race) gaps to begin with?
Idiots with way too much power.
I say tear down society as it exists today and everybody
shall get a lot more individual freedom.
Greed sucks. Society sucks. There are poor people
everywhere.
Everything should be free, cash only exists in our mind.
damn I write crazy stuff today, but I promise you, somewhere
behind this mess of words lies a lot of thought..
somewhere...
didn't read through all of your text btw, just read some
here and there, but I guess I agree on what I read. I'm
kinda tired now, didn't sleep much at all this night...

Oh, also-- americans have terrible posture that is
shortening our happy and healthy lifespans. It is directly
related to consumer culture, and can be compared and rebuked
contextually with the many symptoms of our beastly society
such as soda, which is essentially sugar water and caffeine
with serves no purpose except to take more of working class
money and put it in corporate hands via DISTRIBUTION POINTS
NUMBERING IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IN SINGLE AMERICAN
CITIES ALONE.

Fast food doesn't even need an explanation.

Good posture, and the way we hold ourselves matters a lot
more than I ever thought before, and our lack of it is very
reflective of how our government and society is not capable
of considering human beings needs, as far as a healthy self,
healthy body, and healthy living.

Replace the word health with happiness, or even, "not
blatantly crumbling".

Does anyone want to help me babble about Gestalt?

Key secret, seriously, before you flee, what you just
said--

I just think our society is
fucked for even labeling something "feminism". I mean who
the fuck created these (sex/race) gaps to begin with?
Idiots with way too much power.

--

Idiots with way to much power are the ones who MAINTAIN the
imbalance. Also, MALE idiots in power, because women in
this country simply don't have equal opportunity and their
potential is restricted by societal gender roles.

Scan through my first set of posts again, and find the part
about why feminism is called feminism, and i didn't fully
make it clear, you should seriously go and read some
feminist writing.

Male feminism?! That's the whole point. Feminism
isn't about women, it's about oppression, and women are
being oppressed. It has much less to do with biological
gender differences, and more to do with what our society is
told ARE biological differences but are really
manifestiations of the viciously seeded breadwinner and
homemaker roles.

yeah I must say I believe the american educationsystem is
kinda shitty, or we'd see more healthy people in the US.
I myself am a rawfoodist so I am just as healthy as I can be
(still do alcohol now and then though =/... social stuff),
but I know there aren't many of us.
What is weird is society makes rawfoodism seem extreme, when
it's the opposite of extreme...
I think people turning into rawfoodists will change a lot of
things, and make people more aware of how society is built
upon greed ($) and does not work.
society does not work - and it's so obvious. fuck the
society of today.
you should never sacrifice yourself for society, as you will
never ever be getting something out of the society - it's
just a thing in your mind, that you may (or preferably; may
not) believe in.

Yes...women need to know how to cook and look after
children. That is all. Women can't do any serious jobs
because they spend too much time thinking about the shopping
or what their make-up looks like. Maybe they can do none
intensive part time job, but anything more than that their
heads will explode or they will become lesbian.

I can't think of why somebody would disagree...
