The tumblr experience is having politics that make the most left leaning progressive you know irl blush and then logging on here and getting called a bootlicker fascist because you said that you dont think we should make the reign of terror happen again

Me irl: the problem isnt taxes, youre thinking too small. The problem is that the federal government isnt taxing the right people the right amount. Theyre taking all our extra cash in our measly little wealth bracket and letting the billionaires hang on to more money than they can ever spend in a lifetime. The only way anybody gets a single billion is either through exploitation or inheriting it from someone else who did the exploitation, nobody who has that kind of money earned it legitimately. Not only do we need to strip that back into social safety nets for those of us theyre bleeding dry instead, but they need to establish hard laws and regulations to prevent that kind of exploitation from happening in the first place!

My coworkers: man, youre a real red-card commie, aren't you? You gonna start telling us to vote NDP and that healtcare isnt a scam too? Jesus christ go give someone else your goddamn revolution pamphlets, lenin.

Me on tumblr: while i appreciate the animosity towards billionaires, i dont think literally dragging a guillotine into the streets and beheading people as a public spectacle is going to actually solve the problems inherent in the system considering the french already tried that and it didnt work out well for them. Also i dont think anybody has the right to decide who lives and who dies, im pretty anti death penalt-

Tumblr users: how does that boot taste, fascist?

drives me up a wall living in a very very red district, like “no democrat is ever going to win any local election, let alone a real leftist” district, like “our school board members ran on who was the most anti-mask” red, like “I pass white supremacist signs on the way to buy weed” red

and being in the local leftist community and the guy who runs the anarchist book club and the lady who helps keep the warming shelters open and the people who marched on city hall when a local business was getting death threats for having a drag show are all members of a discord and we get on this discord and have frank discussions about how best to vote

the people who do the protests and the mutual aid and all the real work

going “okay, they’re both fascists, but this one lacks ambition and seems happy to just glide in the position” or “they both suck, but this one can be reasoned with if you frame it patriotically enough” like we don’t even have a democrat to vote for. we know what a vote is. we know what we hope accomplish with it. we know what it can do, and we know what it can’t.

and going from those discussions to here where people think that your vote is some kind of fucking??? enabling maneuver??? as if someone isn’t going to end up in that seat regardless of what you do???

we didn’t build this system, we just live in it. we’re just trying to survive. a vote isn’t a statement of your values, it’s not an endorsement, it’s not a marriage contract, it’s a strategic play you make to keep alive.

the biggest mistake I see leftists making is overestimating their own popularity. “well but everyone would be leftist if they just-“ no, stop, 1) you can’t possibly know that 2) everyone will not just

Behold. An actual mature, nuanced assessment of reality.

The mechanics behind it are pretty simple too:

  1. The white-hot liquid glass is hot enough to light the branch on fire.
  2. While the branch is catching on fire, the liquid glass coats it completely, trapping the plant matter away from oxygen, and it can't continue burning without oxygen.

That's how you catch the branch in the state of "plant catching on fire", without advancing to the "plant burnt" state.

The physics and artistry of this are fascinating but I love how they have to cut the molten glass with shears like it’s unruly fondue

Unruly Fondue is my new band name.

When Henry Kissinger dies, we about to fucking party.

In case liberals want to defend Kissinger like Hilary Clinton did, here is why I want Henry to be very much dead soon.

  1. The deliberate mass killing of civilian populations in Indochina.
  2. Deliberate collusion in mass murder, and later in assassination, in Bangladesh.
  3. The personal suborning and planning of murder, of a senior constitutional officer in a democratic nation — Chile — with which the United States was not at war.
  4. Personal involvement in a plan to murder the head of state in the democratic nation of Cyprus.
  5. The incitement and enabling of genocide in East Timor.
  6. Personal involvement in a plan to kidnap and murder a journalist living in Washington, D.C.
  7. began the U.S.’s arms-for-petrodollars dependency with Saudi Arabia and pre-revolutionary Iran;
  8. accelerated needless civil wars in southern Africa that, in the name of supporting white supremacy, left millions dead.
  9. illegally bombed Cambodia and Laos.
  10. Goaded Nixon to wiretap staffers and journalists
  11. Pumped up Pakistan’s ISI, and encouraged it to use political Islam to destabilize Afghanistan.

Henry Kissinger has at the very least cost 4 million people’s lives. He is an evil despicable motherfucker.

heyy bur just case in anyone wants to know more about kissinger's war crimes or just the war crimes committed against Latin America's people please check out my Google Drive!

also feel free to contribute with any additional books/documents u may have

On the Eve of his birthday, 75 witnesses of Cambodia’s massacre come forward and reveal even more War Crimes of Henry Kissinger than previously thought.

These are all great reasons to want him in prison.

I'm not sure they're reason to want him dead.

I am going to keep it a buck with you, champ, but you sound like an op. If a legacy of mass murder and chaotic disruption and destabilization is not enough for you to wish a motherfucking war criminal dead, you are on some shit. That is all I will say.

As an atheist I don’t really believe in the idea of “evil.” But if evil does truly exist, as it is commonly understood, Henry Kissinger embodies it more than any human I can think of.

"Irish doesn't have a word for please, you have to say if it be your will" buddy do I have news for you about "please"

"Irish doesn't have a word for hello you have to use a shorthand religious blessing" buddy do I have news for you about "goodbye"!

"In Polish the word for car is that which walks by itself" BUDDY what do you think an AUTOMOBILE is?

you have got to understand that your mother tongue is not the model of language. all your words have secret histories and layers of meaning just the same as other people's words. the word you think of as just a word has etymology, it wasn't handed down from God as a finished word. English doesn't have a word for movie you have to either refer to the recording medium or use a short version of "moving picture", isn't that cute?

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

reblog if attacking fascism is really the hill you want to die on

this is literally like one of the most justified and honorable hills you could die on??? lol??

I mean, if we do it right, the idea is to make sure the fascists are the ones dying.

First time looking and I prevailed. I could cry 😭LOOK AT MY BABIES ALL HAPPY AND MAKING A PURPLE HEART TOGETHER WITH THEIR COLOR SCHEMES. I CANT 😭

The other side of the cups being biscuits with the boss and believing in believe. I’m going to have a stroke.

And then shot glasses with my platonic soulmates. It’s a set of four and the other side is Roy and Keeley 😭 (which really just opens a whole new can of worms on everything here) and yes. Ted and Beard have hearts around them too.

THE MERCHANDISE TEAM IS OUT OF CONTROL.

I picked this up at Target.
