Cú Chulainn

When I think of what my life could've & should've been; living in a culture that doesn't sex shame, doesn't prohibit plants like cannabis, didn't mutilate my genitals and didn't body shame women into shaving, I feel completely robbed. This is a divorce with nature; this is evil.

Of course someone will say: "you can move to a place where those things are not like that." The problem is I grew up in this environment and I'm still in it, it's not as easy as just packing my bags and leaving. The most extreme of those things won't be solved by leaving either.

it's called political economy, my friend. do you expect capitalism to care about you? infant circumcision enacts the triumph of capital over biology; the commodity form is a trauma that alienates children from parents and marks them as property of the God of exchange value

I don't expect capitalism to care about me, but I didn't expect it to screw me over in so many ways for profit... I definitely see what you are saying though. At some point in my life I realized I was property of the state, at which point it was too late.
