This episode addresses the other systems of oppression named in this series, tying them in with capitalism to show how it benefits the most privileged people in our society at the expense of the least privileged among us. It shows once again that the differences in socioeconomic status and quality of life don't just accidentally benefit white people and people with money. Everything is set up to help rich white people get richer at the expense of the people of the global majority. These billionaire's efforts to suck as much money out of the earth as they can disregards the sanctity of life, for both non-white people and the planet. A certain country's unchecked bombing of its neighbors is speeding up climate change, with disastrous results occurring more regularly and with bigger impacts. We're literally all in this together and need to see past the culture wars we're distracted with to fight for our collective liberation and the planet - we're all we have.

Disability may be the final frontier for our consideration of human rights, following pushes for Black people and other people of color to get civil rights, for women's rights, and for gay/lesbian/bi people and now also trans people. Some people will start life with some kind(s) of disability/-ies, but everyone will become disabled in some way in their lifetime. COVID is considered a mass-disabling event, mirroring in some ways the ways HIV killed so many gay men and Black women, and, again, is downplayed because of who is most heavily impacted: people of color, the poor, the elderly, and immunocompromised or otherwise disabled people. What will it take for us to care about others' experiences? Can we make things more accessible for all without getting caught up in how we have to change to accommodate others?

While often referred to as "the LGBTQ+ community," this label is a bit more hopeful than it is realistic. There's so much diversity between each letter in the whole 2SLGBTQIA+ acronym and even a lot of diversity within each letter. We'll also explore the impact of various systems of oppression among LGBT people to highlight how our marginalization as gender/sexual minorities does not make us incapable of hating or harming others - even those within the "community." There are sexist gay men, transphobic and/or biphobic gays and lesbians, and racism, fatphobia, ableism, classism, and even pretty privilege can all affect all LGBT people's interactions. We're not as communal as we could be, but that's also influenced by the internalization of homophobia and transphobia that we all have to unlearn.
