Autism is incompatible with Capitalism, or how I learned to stop blaming myself and became a leftist.

Throughout most of my life I have never been a very politically informed person. I have always striven to live my life in a way that I thought was suitable for me. In this manner I tried to be as helpful as possible and to always do my best. People always told me that if I did that then that everything would be fine.. They were wrong. When I was 18 years old I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder(or Asperger's Syndrome at the time due to the DSM(1) still being in it's Fourth edition).

No instead I am here to talk about the powers that are behind those cops, how even so called "moderate" politicians and people are more then willing to defend the brutality of the thugs in blue.  Police brutality nowadays is m

So this is not really a blogpost but a little while ago I created a bunch of sticker designs for protesting Tesla and Elon Musk. I made 2 designs in 2 languages but I never really got to creating stickers for them or really distributing the designs so hereby I am distributing the designs in both jpg and svg forms for the world to use.  I am distributing the designs under the following conditions:  You are basically free to use these designs for the creation of stickers and you are free to adapt these designs however you see fit. However I would prefer if you did not use these designs for a commercial purpose. Covering the costs for stickers and selling them like that is fine but I don't want to see like t-shirts being sold with them for commercial purposes. I made both Dutch and English language versions and they can be found as such: Design 1 English Version Design 1 Dutch Version Design 2 English Version Design 2 Dutch Version  You can find full size versions of the jpg files(and
