I Get A Lot Of Punches

And people still try to defend this shit with ‘Well they MUST work REALLY HARD to earn THAT kind of money!!!’

I assure you they don’t. I assure you the people earning the least money are working the most. I don’t see CEO’s doing 60 hour weeks just to keep food on the table. They don’t do that, because they don’t have to, because they get paid so much they aren’t desperate enough to have to.

If you follow me, reblog this. It is an important piece of data. I would love to see one for the annual tax expenditure of minimum wage versus CEO’s as a proportion of their annual income.

This is the aggregation of labor. This is what it looks like. It has happened before. It will likely happen again unless it is changed.

I like how they added “and the world” because it’s true, the rich are bastards everywhere.

today in french we learned how to say “what’s in the bag” and i couldn’t stop laughing because

swaggity swag qu’est-ce qui dans le sac

“what time is it” you ask, i pull out my 2.7 metric ton granite sundial and immediately crush both of your feet, I loudly announce “it is cloudy”

me @ the people who hated on Taylor Swift by saying she supports trump and just now realizing Kanye publicly praises trump to this day and there’s prominent evidence Taylor voted for Hillary and has liberal ideals

with 4/20 coming up here’s a reminder that if y'all support the legalization of marijuana you need to also be supporting decriminalization + the release of everyone in prison right now for marijuana-related charges (some of whom are serving as much as 20+ years) just as hard, if not harder.

if your pro-marijuana activism only supports white people starting weed shops and getting rich off of it while there are people of color and other marginalized people in jail whose lives have been ruined for doing the same thing and people still getting arrested every day for it and you just…don’t give a shit about that, that’s not cool.

The more I see of Eric Andre the more I’m convinced he is some chaotic neutral trickster god sent to the mortal plane to torment us

do older generations not get fatalistic humor?? like the other day my friend’s parents were hanging around and we were joking and i was like “well no matter what i can always fling myself off the nearest cliff” and they didn’t laugh then later the mom pulled me aside and was like “maybe you should get some help, sweetie” like stfu?? help? in this economy? i don’t think so, debra

I honestly don’t think they get it as a coping mechanism, they think it’s a cry for help rather than actually helping.

i’d even say it’s past just coping and is also now a category of Stuff Kids Got Used To When No One Was Looking; not everyone using that humor is even covering up something bigger, we just stopped thinking fatalistic = taboo/unspeakable somewhere along the line, and most parents don’t seem to know why or how ~

My boss opened a door and missed me by inches, he said “whoops, almost killed you there!” My result of “Oh, if only.” Led to an awkward end of shift debrief.

This generation shares the same humor as the goddamn Addams Family and the previous generation is the White Sixties Family™ that lives next door and runs away screaming at the end of the episode

I will say that it’s interesting because this kind of humor is very, very prevalent somewhere else…

the military.

Which is honestly a place you would expect fatalistic humor to be common and used as a coping method. You’re one “oops” away from death on the flight deck, one inch to the left and you don’t have a head anymore because the jet that just landed now owns it as a wing-tip decoration. So you joke about it because lowkey you’re fucking terrified it’ll happen, but you’re also desensitized to the danger itself because you face it every single day for 12 hours at a time.

Anyway so we all know the mindset you adopt in the military because of the danger, so to realise that an identical sense of humor has been adopted by normal people should probably tell you something very important about the amount of stress modern young folks experience in daily life.

That last one… it’s true

It was also common in previous generations that had to deal with say, war and economic depression on a massive scale.

One of my favorite movies is Singing In The Rain which came in out 1952, right on the tailcoat of two world wars and a looming cold one, and for all it’s a cheery happy musical, it’s got this really bleak witty humor too, things like “call me a cab!” “okay, you’re a cab!” or the scene where Don says he’ll be homeless by the next day and Cosmo cheerfully tells him not to be ridiculous…the bank bailiffs don’t open till Monday.

And then quite probably one of my favorite opening lines, where two young girls are watching Lina on screen and one says  “She’s so refined. I think I’ll kill myself.”

Which really resonates with a lot of the things we say now when talking about people we find personally attractive, meaning not only is fatalism not a new trend, but those two girls at the starting sequence of Singing In The Rain are totally there for Lina, not Don. 

You’re welcome.

So it’s almost as if you can use fatalist humor as a sort of social atmosphere barometer. If fatalist humors starts to become commonplace, you know there’s some growing/widespread social circumstance providing an ever-present tension in people’s every day lives.

Maybe sometimes it will be obvious, like during war times or in potentially dangerous work environments, and maybe sometimes it’s less obvious, like the younger generation’s views of their future. Either way, from all the comments above, it seems to have somehow emerged as a reliable measure of how things are going for large demographics. That’s rather morbidly fascinating. :D

how do you block ur own post asking for a friend

everyone says “i forgive but i don’t forget” whereas my dumb, bitter ass is over here never forgiving but always forgetting
