"I’ve seen a ton on the Facebooks about ‘thanking veterans for their service’. As a veteran, let me just be very straightforward and honest with you: We didn’t ‘serve our country’; we don’t actually serve our brothers/sisters or our neighbors. We serve the interests of capital. We never risked our lives or spent months on deployment away from our family and friends so they can have this abstract concept called ‘freedom’. We served big oil, big coal, Coca-Cola, Kellogg, Brown and Root, and all the other big Capital interests who don’t know a fucking thing about sacrifice. These people will never have to deal with the loss of a loved one or the physical and/or psychological scars that those who ‘serve’ and their families have to deal with for the rest of their lives. The most patriotic thing someone can do is to tell truth to power and dedicate yourself to building power to overthrow these sociopathic assholes. I served with some of the most real and genuine people I’ve ever met. You’ll never see solidarity like the kind of solidarity you experience when your life depends on the person next to you. But most of us didn’t join for that; we joined because we were fucking poor and didn’t have many other options." An anti-capitalist veteran (via

if bruce banner grew a mustache, would the hulk have one, too?
why are there pictures of the quote: “open books, not legs”, or “blow minds, not guys” with around 100000000 notes? smart girls have sex, literate girls have sex, GIRLS HAVE SEX. you can blow someone’s mind and be really awesome, and also have oral sex. so can everyone on tumblr stop shaming women into thinking sex is bad, and only for men?
