Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

it's the UV doing something that stops the skin from doing its fucked up failed repair cycle where it just flakes forever or w/e psoriasis does

I might have fucking sun poisoned myself, fuck, i read that UVB exposure is much higher from 10-2pm so i made sure to go out then and i was out for like 50 minutes and definitely over shot how much sun i wanted. I feel it just throbbing warmth all over and i expect to feel fatigue and chills later. I just hope i don't get blistering and shit ugh fuck

P.s. nobody needs to warn me about skin cancer, i know, but it turns out it makes my psoriasis go away and im sick of peeling itchy skin and im probably gonna die of cancer anyway so yea

what he really failed to consider is that it's coded as an upvote within the system so actually you're getting no upbears at all! 😊

Going to a protest seems like going to vote in an election that's already over
