The fact that the large majority of people in America look at a homeless person and think "ew, get this trash out of my sight" rather than empathizing, wanting to help that person, and reflecting on the systematic flaws that allow this to happen is a sign that your civilization has fundamentally failed at being civil, and is more comparable to savagery.
Always remember that anyone who owns little to no capital is your ally, not your enemy, and thinking so means you've bought into capitalist propaganda like a sheep.
I like to watch bad low-budget movies, and I found the film monsters (1993) (Russian). They use live action footage of small animals as the "monsters". As a rat owner, I find it hilarious how they try to make the rats look threatening. (No animals were actually harmed in filming)
The "finding out Santa isn't real" of capitalism is finding out that most rich people are just idiots who got lucky
I am trying to make a wiki entry for IDK of the TBH creature wiki https://tbh-creatures.fandom.com/wiki/TBH_Creature_Wiki
I cannot find the source of the IDK creature as I need to be able to credit the original artist.
I hate these kinds of articles, we know Captain obvious. Unless you have a magical cure for my insomnia, that is not happening. I'd much rather have a fucked up back and neck rather than having a sad fucked up brain from getting no sleep.
Remember: Thinking an opinion is bad just because the majority of people believe it is just as fallacious as saying something is bad because a minority of people believe it.
Also, just having an uncommon opinion does not automatically make you a "free thinker", you can still be unwittingly indoctrinated by a small group of people. Look at cults as an example.
I'm mostly talking to right-wingers and TERFS with this one, but it's a good thing for everyone to know.
Be mindful of anti-proletariat rhetoric.
Don't tolerate bullshit ideas like "unskilled labor", all labor is skilled, and capitalists want you to believe in it so they can justify paying hard working people practically nothing. If someone is giving their time and energy to someone else, they deserve respect no matter what.
Don't tolerate parents teaching their children to look down upon common laborers as "trashy work".
Don't tolerate this idea that poor people are lazy, most are poor for a variety of reasons: poor mental health, no generational wealth, bad investments, drug addiction, disability, unwanted children; but none of them are just laziness. If you know any poor people, you know they bust their ass every day to get a fraction of what their bosses have.
Don't tolerate people who say you should vote for a party that doesn't give a shit about the real workers.
Don't tolerate divisive ideas meant to distract the common man from getting back the surplus value stolen from him.
Don't tolerate propagandic opinion pieces from rich folk who want to keep you ignorant.
Love the working class, and eat the rich!
I just got done binging Wendigoon's old series on Dante's Divine Comedy, and I have to say, it really gave me an appreciation for just how awesome Christian writings, and by extent the bible really are. It's so hard to appreciate the cool aspects of Christianity these days because so many people in Gen Z associate it with right-wing politics and annoying preachers. It's much easier when you are allowed to take in these ideas without people pressuring you to believe a certain thing about it.
And sure, there are still many ideas I disagree with, but the ideals of virtue in helping others and the way it's explained in the Christian cannon are really inspiring to me. The reputation of Christianity would be so much better with secular people if there were more Christians willing to explain Christianity in a manner that wasn't so pushy and judgmental.
Anyways, I just felt inspired to write this post and put my thoughts out there. Check out Wendigoons videos on Dante's Divine Comedy if you ever get the chance.
A lot of people on Tik Tok have migrated over to the Chinese app RedNote, and the Chinese users are so fucking funny about it. I saw one comment that was like "Welcome, I was the Chinese citizen assigned to spy on your data, I missed you"
I have only been on Tumblr for a little bit, and I gotta say, something I love about the Tumblr experience is seeing very amateur fan content of everything (and I absolutely do not mean amateur as an insult).
It is such a raw expression of love for something, to be so passionate that you create in spite of how others might judge you. To create something that is so unabashedly "cringe" to others and still be so proud of it all the same. That is so powerful to me as someone with a low self-esteem who folds easily to social pressure. God speed you brave beautiful creative souls.
Just your average male bisexual anarchist DNI: Terfs, Antishippers, Authoritarians and all others that hate fun
