I can’t believe Jameela ended the kardashians

in case you guys don’t know, flat tummy or dieter’s tea, works through giving you the world’s most savage case of diarrhea which dehydrates you and you “lose” weight.

all of these girls who are advertising the tea results got there through basically shitting themselves

honestly, i highly doubt they even use the tea. they’re, like jameela said, using dietitians, personal trainers, and plastic surgery and just pretending the tea did it so they can make money.

laxative teas are extremely dangerous when used regularly for weight loss. they can literally kill you. the people advertising this shit to impressionable people–often kids–are human garbage.

Only by overthrowing capitalism can we apply this sentiment universally, to all people and to each person. Overwork is a byproduct of an economic system that prioritizes profits over people. With the smart use of democratic planning, automation, and economic reorganization, toiling our lives away to make someone else rich could become a thing of the past.

Workers of the world, unite!

Study after study shows that the 40 hour workweek is inefficient and damaging to one’s health.  Funny how the class that profits off of our exploitation and abuse doesn’t want to hear that, and tend to continue glorifying unethical and unsafe work practices that union members literally died for us to escape.

Fucked up how women are expected to preform femininity to such an unreasonable, expensive and time consuming degree right now. Obviously that’s been an aspect of patriarchy forever but theres a late capitalist spin on it in our current period that’s just so extreme and unrealistic.. I feel like this is something people don’t see as getting worse but in, say, the 70s it was totally normal for women to go outside without foundation on. The degree to which women are expected to compete with other women in the amount of money and unpaid time they spend on their appearance every day has accelerated along with the acceleration and of global capitalism in general

There’s a massive feminist movement erupting in South Korea right now where women are posting pictures of their destroyed makeup collections in protest of the massive amounts of sacrifice they’re expected to make towards conventional beauty just to be employed or viewed as normal. I know liberals like to talk about this stuff being a choice but when thousands of people are saying that it ISN’T a choice for them, and is in fact something they feel cornered into that’s actively harming them, that’s something worth listening to
