theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents

common examples of normalize loving parents posting:

saluting our bravest warriors who aren't afraid to stand up and advocate for the status quo

the general anti-ai cohort is simply moralizing their defense of both private property and the interests of people who sell commodities…they oversell the dangers of A.I. to protect or aspire to the petty artisan class interest.

the general pro-ai cohort is simply defending private property and the interests of capitalists who purchase labor…they oversell the capabilities of A.I. to protect or aspire to the ownership class interest.

the conversation has been restricted into a unproductive fight between the interests of the petit bourgeois and the ruling class. both of these positions are reactionary and not “materialist.” even the so-called “leftist” anti-ai cohort is dabbling in fascist thought about how machine generated pictures contribute to “degeneracy,” babbling about “souls” and “intrinsic value,” and engaging in bloodthirsty antisocial campaigns against randoms who post midjourney slop instead of paying them $300 for commissions. they struggle to express the alienation people feel with A.I. art in a Very Normal way. yet again the principled marxist position is marginalized on both fronts. This squabble is the equivalent of two violent hogs flailing around in mud.

see what i mean lol. both of these tweeters are right-wing tech bros. jack sees the unrealistic potential of AI to displace the need to pay workers. chris defends IP law because it is central to his own business model—he takes a cut of artists’ profit from the commodities they sell on his website. both “sides” are just fighting over who gets to benefit from a rendering of privatization that harms the masses at large. their disagreement is about who gets to profit from the scarcity of a commodity—the ruling class or the petite bourgeois. it’s the “big business” vs. “mom n’ pop” small business owner debate for nerds. through study and analysis, marxists know that both are evil. ahem cough the marxist materialist viewpoint continues to be marginalized. 💔

can someone PLEASE tell that fucking white boy to play that funky music until he's dead in the fucking ground

My neighbors:

I love being a party pooper every time someone mentions harry potter I have to be like I hope jk rowling and her little shitty ass magic dystopia rot in hell and I hope that show you're so excited about gets cancelled with the shittiest ending possible

As discussed in my Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door livestreams, there is an immensely rare event whereby Luigi would throw a rock at Mario. Finally, I have managed to obtain footage of it.

what timeline is oop tweeting from because in the one i live in kill-em-all kier appointed a right-wing christian health secretary who apologized for every having called trans women women, banned trans youth healthcare, and regularly expresses support for transphobic activists and conversion therapy groups. the only reason he's not 'for sale' is because he'll do it all for free -- the labour right all already genuinely believe the exact same shit as JKR!

People who live in big cities will say stuff like Well if youre bored why dont you take the public transportation to your local artisanal cheesemonger

if I knew mildly insulting annoying gimmick blogs would make them deactivate I'd have used that on blogs like girl-detector instead

yeah that's right girl-detector. I think your blog's central concept of "guessing the gender of strangers in posts" is somewhat misguided! yeah I went there. what are you gonna do about it huh

i don’t care about hozier or darkwave spotify playlist or taylor swift. i am disconnected from the cultural zeitgeist. listen to mid 90s skittery drums idm with me
