Nobody asked, but: tonight Italy plays Germany in #WinterOlympics men's #curling and, as a reminder of the complexity of #nationalIdentity, I, an Italy-born German citizen, contrary to what I mostly do in sports, will side with Italy!

Because ALL crime and punishment is #political. And power isn't held to the same standard as the rest of us.
#Wagetheft (employer cuts time illegally from worker time cards) is the largest theft type, even when adding all other theft together.
Steal $100 from the register? You get arrested and criminal matter.
Employer steals from employee $100 by manipulating time cards? Oh that's a civil matter. Hope you can afford a lawsuit and loss of your job.
Murder is also a #socialconstruct.
If you poison someone else and they die, its murder.
If you make policy that leeches lead and poisons a whole city, and kills many, you get a governorship in Michigan, and a fellow at Harvard.

#Money , Is both power and a symbol of your effort. Within a certain amount, is a useful method of dividing the commons, trading goods and services and allowing people control over their lives and choices. Its something you earned.
After a certain amount it stops being something about what you earned and much more about power. That power now has the power over other people instead of just power over oneself. This allows you to change the rules of the game, put pressure on desperate people to sell their labor for less, and ensure the laws don't apply to you. Up to a certain point like an analogy its very useful and beneficial, after a certain limit it starts to break down and becomes at best useless and at worst dangerous.
Its why #Proudhon called for money to be replaced with single use labor credits, that couldn't be used to create more money off of others.

The funny thing about social constructs is that they bring two distinct meanings of the (extremely problematic) term "objective" into direct conflict.
Specifically, the meaning of 'objective' that is "existing intrinsically, plainly detectable, clearly segmentable from its immediate environs, etc. etc." and the meaning of 'objective' that is "agreed upon by all members of a group, etc. etc."
What makes a social construct a construct is that it has no physical particulars, is not plainly detectable, cannot be clearly segmented away from its immediate environs (if it can even be said to have immediate environs), i.e. it is not an 'objectively existing entity', and in fact it's entire existence consists of the 'objective' agreement or objectively held belief that it exists.
So, that's what humans are like, if you were wondering why things are shit.
Humans are all about those 'objectively' non-existing 'objective' existences.
Ugh.
p.s. in case you were wondering, both those senses of 'objective' are pretty much bollocks.

And establish new agreements that are less harmful and more beneficial. The hope for some of us is that sorting out the new agreements would happen without heads on pikes. Sadly, history has not gone that way. May things change.
3/3
#SocialConstruct -
Currency & Traffic Lights are examples of number 1; Virginity & Gender of number 2.
Some social constructs can benefit all or parts of society for a time. The beauty is that because they are constructs, mere agreements, that if they prove to stop working for society, if they stop benefitting us, or once we realise they were always harmful means of control (virginity, looking at you) then we can change our minds. We can alter the agreement.
2/3
#SocialConstruct -
When something is called a Social Construct it is not being said that it doesn't exist, but rather one of 2 things:
1) That society as a whole agrees certain terms, behaviours & beliefs about the thing in question
2) That the most powerful within the society agree that certain terms, behaviours & beliefs about the thing in question benefit them to give more power & so enforce those beliefs on society.1/3

Science fiction must escape from the dystopias it has trapped itself in.
We create the future we imagine, so it’s important to imagine what we desire.
