fuck capitalism. Fuck. Capitalism. FUCK CAPITALISM.
Fuck the devaluing of labor in order to increase profits for the owners of capital. Fuck the devaluing of women's labor that enables men to profit disproportionately from the collective labor of the households these men inhabit. Fuck the devaluing of indigenous lives that enables members of the colonialist race to abscond with these nations' lands. Fuck the devaluing of "un[der]developed" nations' peoples that enables members of the colonialist race to abscond with these nations' resources. Fuck the devaluing of black and brown lives that enables members of the colonialist race to chain these people and cage these people and work these people for a pittance and call it "freedom" because it is not, technically speaking, chattel slavery.
Fuck the devaluing of too-old and too-disabled people that enables younger, more abled people to discard these people as worthless. Fuck the devaluing of too-ill-educated and too-long-unemployed people that enables better-educated people with better employment history to discard these people as worthless. Fuck the disparities in health care access, education access, and employment access that enable certain people to be deemed discardable early on in a manner that ensures they will never again be counted as valuable by the people who matter to capitalism.
Fuck the valuing of correct attribution and ownership of "intellectual property" only when certain people can be said to "own" these ideas. Fuck the theft of knowledge and artistic labor and culture from the peoples who created these things.
Fuck the devaluing of nonconformists of all stripes, especially people who do not conform to their assigned-at-birth gender or the sexual desire required of their assigned-at-birth gender, or who otherwise do not march to the capitalist drum.
Fuck the work hours that do not decrease as productivity increases. Fuck the wages that do not increase as productivity increases.
Fuck the dietary changes inflicted on nations by the rise of monocultures and cheap sweeteners. Fuck the loss of local cuisines inflicted by the rise of worldwide fast food chains. Fuck the waste of food that doesn't look pretty on the supermarket shelf when people are going hungry.
Fuck the monetization of culture. Fuck the capitalization of conservation. Fuck the mass production of every fucking thing.
Fuck the dwindling of the knowledge of how to do things without mass production, of how to survive without relying on the free market, of how to make a living without making a profit for one's employer. Fuck the need to have an employer, or be one, in order to survive.
Fuck the constant diversion of attention into consumerism. Fuck the insistence that More Stuff means More Happy. Fuck capitalism-compatible McSpirituality and capitalism-friendly McActivism.
Fuck capitalism. Just. Fuck capitalism.
And most especially, fuck the way we're all caught in it with no way out!
