Antiwork

I am a white-passing mixed girl of Caucasian and Indian descent, my mother being from India. I have no idea why this lady felt the need to comment that – and I know it sounds fake – but it happened. I had also yawned and she got butthurt, asking me if I was bored, and if I will be tired when she hires me. All with this fake ass smile on her face.

Got fired from a job I had for a year and a half. No warnings, just a phone call saying they didn't want me to work there anymore.

I have seen a distressing number of left leaning American workers buying into the media narratives around Russia and Ukraine. Don't fall for it! I am not saying that Putin is the good guy or even innocent, but don't forget all the times we have been deliberately lied to and manipulated into pointless, endless wars: The USS Maine, The Tonkin Incident, the Iraqi “WMDs”, Operation Northwoods (which thankfully never came to pass) and The Zimmerman Telegram. I don't know what the “correct” interpretation of the current situation is. But it doesn't matter. If the military industrial complex does decide they want a war, we must reject their excuse, whatever it is. The true conflict is always between the 99% and those who exploit them, not between people who just happen to be different nationalities.
