“This country was founded by a group of slave owners who told us that all men are created equal. To my mind, that is what’s known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit.” - George Carlin
…PolitiFact going through history to fact check this guy was like that time CNN went through history to dig up dirt on Bernie, and all they found were videos of him planting trees, and telling kids that racism is bad.
that uniquely american cultural drive to preserve the corpse after death…. utterly horrid I tell you
not to go all Anti Capitalist here but like. making people feel like they’ve ‘failed’ their dead loved ones if they don’t put their chemically preserved corpses in a multi-thousand dollar hermetically sealed vault is absolutely fucking ghoulish the whole industry is built around taking advantage of grieving families. like it’s such a morbid topic but for real normalize decay… normalize the idea that a corpse, while an incredibly important thing, is temporary and isn’t meant to exist forever… normalize the transience of the body… also fuck every person who’s ever tried to wring money out of a grieving person by convincing them to by a fucking. waterproof burial vault. man
where does cremation fall into this? i personally am a fan of cremation because theres a lot of things you can do with ones ashes like put it into an hourglass or spread over a place that was meaningful to the deceased.
maybe this is just the ‘growing up relatively poor’ speaking but like why do some people like NEED disneyland to be open to simulate an area where they can enjoy themselves. just grab a popsicle from the gas station and go hop around on some abandoned piles of concrete behind the softball pitch smh
