Ignorant-Bliss: What I said on facebook about it. →
d-pi:
Yeah Dun Dun, I referred to this video and its creators on facebook, “Exemplifies consumer decadence as entertainment spectacle. …Remains silent about international revolutions and domestic protests, many anti-consumerist. Coops revolutionary imagery, marries it to consumer spectacle and sells it…

This should really say 1992.
I was born in 1983 and you’ll never hear me talking about how I missed the 80s, because I barely remember any of that shit because I was too young.
If your mama was still combing your hair and dressing you in the morning when 2pac died, you shouldn’t be allowed to say anything about the 90s.

Unpaid Internships: Bad for Students, Bad for Workers, Bad for Society →
A must-read in general. One fantastic response:I think that it’s important to consider the implications that all of this unpaid (and likely stemming from the upper-class) labor has on society as well, especially within the industries that largely require entire chunks of time and resources from those aspiring to join them. Particularly within the public sector, one glaring example of this is the field of legislative aide job opportunities that are often only handed out to those who have toiled away for months (and indeed sometimes years) on end as campaign volunteers.
This creates a setup where an entire profession (any job offering Congressional support) effectively shuts out the very large proportion of the college-aged population who do not have parents (or some other richer benefactor) that can afford to subsidize living costs for however long they need to gain the extensive and unpaid experience necessary to enter the good graces of a Congressman or Senator. The implications of this are far-reaching and structural; and reinforce the culture of privilege already rampant in Washington D.C. where not only do federal lawmakers themselves often lack valuable perspective on the issues plaguing lower- and middle class Americans that constitute the majority of the nation’s citizenry, but also with the advisors and assistants working for them, who by virtue of being able to land their jobs in the first place already were fortunate enough to have been born into the nation’s wealthy economic minority. This creates a cycle of dissonance between the real world economic reality that Americans face and what the legislative class in Washington understands the proper solutions are to those very problems.
