Unstated: This is because the explicit rules of American society are contained in the Marvel Cinematic Universe rather than the legal code

"this is a general feature of American law, where the state is selective in enforcement and gives vague guidance that is subject to interpretation"

The technical term for this is literally tyranny: *arbitrary* rule without base in traditional law and legitimation mechanisms.
It the Holocaust happened unintentionally, as some historians claim, as a result of fanatics "working towards the Führer," then what's going on now in corporate America is "working toward diversity" (setting aside the inherent profitability of e.g. ⚧ treatments)
"Ironically" lol. Yeah, just a big wacky accident. Image
And this is just stuff as obvious as ethnicity and race, let alone gender/sexuality shit!

I can't help but read this in @CBonduk's voice. Image
Don't think this excuses corporate America, though. Whatever the origin of this stuff, the suits of the current day are unironic true believers willing to lose money in defense of it and to think otherwise is to make the same mistake that Diefenbaker did (see my pinned) Image
This is your litmus test. Anyone who doesn't mention these things is fundamentally unserious about fighting anti-white racism. Image

Bad frame; you're conceding that education is important. The correct frame is "we've seen how many teachers fuck their students and kids in coal mines is provably less exploitative."
But seriously, legalizing child labour in this case = legalizing children working outside the home, which would become as de facto mandatory as women working outside the home and for the same reasons. Women/children's employment should be limited to the household and/or nepotism.
It's telling that all the examples that the Libertarian party retweets are things like kids who got paid five bucks a pop to wash their neighborhood cars. Self-employment is not what child labour would mean in a post-industrial age and they're being disingenuous.

I've talked about desire production as a component of the (post?) democratic government a lot, but let me put that in concrete terms. 1/4
I grew up in the 1990's and was subjected to non-stop environmentalist propaganda in everything from PSA to cartoons. Even now, knowing that plastic recycling was a big oil psyop, I still feel physically uncomfortable *and guilty* putting plastic in the garbage. 2/4

Likewise, people feel guilt when they don't buy fiances a diamond ring, despite knowing DeBeers invented this custom.
It doesn't matter that we know. Desires are a function of learned habit, not will or inherent nature. 3/4

This must be that esoteric Straussian writing I've heard about.
At this point, who are they kidding? "Participation retards self-government" you say right after praising Robert Moses for being a old-school tyrant.... just admit that caring what plebs think is dumb and that progs' pathological desire for consent engineering MADE THEM dumb.

Unlike the Disney version, de Villeneuve's original novel ALSO has the enchantress who cursed the Beast be a romantic reject instead of an I'll-treated guest. So I guess the moral here really is that of 18C French high society: fuck everything no matter how questionable.

Remember: ALL journalism is sophistical. Not "liberal," or "conservative," or "controlled" journalism; ALL of it. Keep this in mind even and *especially* when journos happen to be right for whatever reason.
The reason that other journos hate Greenwald is that he's bought into the journo ideology so much that he's open about what it is. He doesn't even concive that normal people would be fundamentally revolted by the essence of his profession, like his less dramatic colleagues.
It's the same reason other gangsters disliked Al Capone. Was he doing anything differently? Not really, but he didn't give a fuck if normal people knew what exactly that was. "Hey," Greenwald says, "of course journalism isn't about truth. What're you, retarded ? 😂"

Me, a decade ago living with my parents: "Of course tenants should have rights. Landlords are scum"
Me now, having helped my 4 foot tall landlady evict wife-beaters, drug addicts, & Ethiopians: "She should have the right to have us executed at any time for any reason"
I never really understood why our ancestors were so reluctant to abandon blood feuds until you spent 4 hours at a tenant dispute resolution agency trying to make a clerk understand that the guy she gave leave notice a year ago for doing hard drugs should be physically removed.
"Is he a physical danger to any of the residents?"
"He does meth and he leaves the door and ground floor windows open all day, so we keep having mouse infestations."
"But has he threatened one of you?"
