cliché but classic trope: when the person who almost died wakes up in a hospital bed, looks around and sees the object of their affection sleeping uncomfortably in the chair next to them because they haven’t moved in days.

You can pry that trope from my cold dead hands.

cliché but classic sub trope of this: the person who almost died tells the object of their affection “you look like shit” despite the fact that they are the one in the hospital bed and almost died.

Nonviolence is racist. I do not mean to exchange insults, and I use the epithet racist only after careful consideration. Nonviolence is an inherently privileged position in the modern context. Besides the fact that the typical pacifist is quite clearly white and middle class, pacifism as an ideology comes from a privileged context. It ignores that violence is already here; that violence is an unavoidable, structurally integral part of the current social hierarchy; and that it is people of color who are most affected by that violence. Pacifism assumes that white people who grew up in the suburbs with all their basic needs met can counsel oppressed people, many of whom are people of color, to suffer patiently under an inconceivably greater violence, until such time as the Great White Father is swayed by the movement’s demands or the pacifists achieve that legendary ‘critical mass.’

It’s because gold is a status symbol. Professional golf exists, but the majority of players are just one-percenters who like to think they’re being athletic. Golf requires a ridiculously large amount of land which holds absolutely nothing but a few holes in the ground and carefully-manicured lawns, sand pits, and a few ponds, none of which actually hold any animal life or plant life beyond grass cut so short nothing could even graze on it; as such, golf courses are expensive to maintain, and thus access to them is often just as expensive.

Anyone can play basketball, or baseball, or soccer, because those don’t require literal acres of land to play. Golf is a rich man’s game, and thus is more “socially acceptable” when rich people waste time and money doing it.

Do NOT get me started on golf.

There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone.

Each one consumes ~312,000 gallons of water per day.

That consumption is equivalent to 55+ million humans per day in the United States… roughly 1/6 the entire population.

Golf courses require pesticides & herbicides & fertilizers in such volume that once decommissioned you can’t do anything with the land until it’s been rehabilitated. No farms, no housing. Maybe pave it over and turn it into a parking lot? A nice office complex? 

Also: the runoff from all those chemicals contaminate the local water supply. 

Ah, so I see you’re ecologically woke and not using Round-Up™ in your backyard? Well FUCK YOU because the golf course two miles away is pumping barrels of that shit directly into the water table every month.

All so rich fuckwits can chase their wee white balls around in public for a coupla hours every weekend. It’s a resource 99% of us will never have access to or even want to use. 

Fuckin travesty.
