What's often looked over about Nazi Germany is that its actual pop culture was not Teutonic Knightly Brotherhood, that was just the SS guys who were mostly seen as weirdos, it was actually a mix of diabetic sentimentality and Hallmark Channel Patriotism best described as 'saccharine'. pic unrelated

"I prefer the term metrogenocidal" ass post

I really feel like we need to retire the word “Zionist” because I don’t think common usage is accurate, no matter your political perspective.

It was directly inspired by the Volkish movement. That’s the name they came up with for it. It is what it is. Sorry the liberal whitewashing of the term ran outta gas

I love how these people act like *we* came up with the term instead of, you know, the zionists

They're burning the world to fuel AI nobody wants.
They're kidnapping people off the street.
They're killing people in international waters.
They're celebrating the life of a nazi.

There is a real emotional cost to living in the 'Fuck you, what are you gonna do about it?' era.

Cory Booker: it’s not about left and right

the right: we’re going to spy on you at all times so we can decide if we should kill you

Schumer: please, come to the table. let’s work this out together, as a team.

just realise that also being FOR censorship does not mean these things you hate will stop being created and shared because Someone Said So. no, they will slip through the cracks and onto your feeds because people will just avoid tagging them so they aren't threatened.

it's okay to be uncomfortable.

to be clear - i am ALL for curating your own feeds. there are fictional works that do not settle well with me. i still support your right to create it, regardless of whether it's therapising you or it's just something that intrigues you! no more "well if this helps you with your trauma" either!

everything in the west comes back to the bible. anticlericalism is a must especially in queer circles and the response to tenderfascists should be eat shit, go fuck yourself etc. the outrage they and their christian fellow travelers fomented on social lubed up the censorship regime.

Sums it up nicely. Every time I see some "proship dni" in someone's bio I sigh heavily because most the time it doesn't mean anything at all.

why do we always forget about racism when it's against asians. anyway here's your reminder that "proship" and "anti" were born from anti japan racism.

what moralism/calvinism does to a scene. straight edge imported a bible and now moralist political weaponry is forever in play

it's literally the "hello?? human resources????" comic over and over again. everything comes back to how hot someone is and nothing else

specific genres are worse than others in this regard i.e. hardcore punk which is a clown show of clown shows

music scenes love to use moralism and badjacketing to take out competition and the only winning move is not to play

Do you mean predator? Sexual harassment? Rapist? Then say that, don't boil it down to being a shitty buzzword that tells me nothing about what they did. The only thing "sex pest" tells me is you're probably an anti kink puritan who's too scared to use real words that mean shit

It gives me the same vibes that degenerate does. I've heard queer people labeled sex pest one too many times to take it seriously. Seeing call outs of supposedly dangerous people but they're labeled "sex pest" makes me roll my eyes.
