  • Aside from that, there are a distressing amount of people who think violence is never okay. And by violence I mean direct, immediate, violence. Denying someone health care for profit is cool. Telling someone to work an extra unpaid hour or they’ll be fired, and risk eviction and starvation, that’s fine. But the idea of taking an ultra wealthy man’s blood soaked money by force? Fetch the pearls and smelling salts, it’s pearl clutching and fainting time.

    Yes, yes, non-violent protest is allegedly more effective*, but I’m not going to be mad if some rich asshole gets his skull cracked.

    * but like is it though? we still have a capitalist hellscape

    You weren’t supposed to be able to change the desktop background, but for some reason MS Paint had a “set to background” option that worked. So I set the background to a screenshot of the desktop, and then hid all the icons and start menu. Later, the teacher thought the computer was broken because “nothing was working”.

    I think it could’ve been a good teaching moment. A talk about not messing shared resources up, and channel my interests somewhere productive. Nope. Just a lecture and week long library ban. Disappointed.
