Hey, duckies, I'm Danielle! I'm a Christian who sings opera. I like dank memes and naps. I'm alive and have to deal with depression and occasionally crippling anxiety, but I think I'm doing kind of all right.

Why aren't more people concerned with how ignorant Thanos is?  His plan isn't even logical.  No one in the movie disputes his rationale other than "killing people is bad."  Like??  You know that if you want to kill a bunch of people so that the survivors have more resources, you're not actually solving the problem of sustainability, and you're hurting their means of production, not to mention traumatizing everyone!  Also, what business is it of his if the dominant species of a planet fails and dies out?  They clearly weren't meant to survive if they can't manage their own resources, and that's assuming all humanoid life faced the same problem as his race.  He's literally like a micromanaging boss who doesn't actually know anything about how the company works.  (tbh he’s kind of like your typical white guy who thinks he knows everything and can’t imagine that your problems are different from his so why would he bother learning about the nuances of your life?)

space shit is cancelled until we solve homelessness and poverty

I mean, the military budget of the USA is around 824.6 billion. 

NASA’s budget is only 18-19 billion

It’s estimated that to end extreme poverty would take 175 billion dollars

Clearly, it’s space stuff that’s taking up all money that could otherwise go to help people.

We can’t cut the space budget. We need it to launch the billionaires into the sun

At its peak, funding NASA returned 8 dollars to the economy for every dollar it was given and singlehandedly advanced technology by decades. The money doesn’t get launched into space: all the benefits stay here.

Fuck this “Cut science and art because poor people exist!” bullshit.  Make fucking rich people pay their damned taxes.  That *ALONE* solves the vast majority of the problems.  Make employers hire more people, not keep condensing job duties into more and more single positions (some of us are getting sick of doing the work of three people on barely the salary for one of them).  Demand pay rates increase so that EVERYONE with a job makes enough to support themselves.  Demand better health care, so that people don’t lose their homes and jobs because someone in their family got fucking cancer, or chronic illness, or severe injury.   Science isn’t the problem.  The problem is capitalism and greed.

I’m not anti-capitalist (hello my fam is from cuba so) but there’s nothing wrong with saying that the american iteration of capitalism is Clearly Not Working.  like I get that economics is called the dismal science for a reason but also rich people not holding up their end of the agreement is shenanigans.  legit if amazon had paid taxes for last year, we could probably house the homeless.  (don’t quote me on that math)

Wanna make a Jurassic Park parody called Cambrian Aquarium where it’s just the exact same plot but instead of dinosaurs it’s a bunch of marine invertebrates from the Cambrian

I want to point out that they don’t kill people. Instead you get scenes like:

“Sir, the security systems are all shutting down!”
