“Snowpiercer is a truly chilling dystopia, then, because its world is fully self-contained, and sufficient. But the most insane thing about it is that it makes sense. And it crystallizes something firghtening about the psychic geography of late capitalism, a technologically-enhanced state of affairs in which the function of the oppressed masses is less and less to work and be exploited than to be excluded and to suffer. The first world, the movie might seem to argue, works less to provide its citizens with pleasure than to shape their desire by constructing others through their pain, lack, and death. Instead of giving Texans a health care system, for example, late capitalism gives them the illegal immigrant, to hate, to fear, and to dis-identify with. Prisons do more and more of the system-maintaining work that was once done by schools and hospitals: instead of giving us something to want, they give us something to fear, hate, and kill. And so, we eat ourselves.”
— —Aaron Badly, A Snowpiercer Thinkpiece (via wanweird-of-an-argonaut)

i just remembered a story my first plug told me. she's butch and gets mistaken for a man a lot. one time she was walking home when a guy pulled a knife on her and asked for everything in her pockets. panicking, she said "ok" and the guy hearing her voice was like "oh shit, are you a girl?" and she was like "yeah" and he put the knife away and said something like "sorry. i can't do this to a woman" and left. feminist ally.

honestly christianity really hit the jackpot with "jesus christ" rolling off the tongue as an expletive so well. the number one problem with fantasy settings is that whatever names you come up with to take in vain will never hit as well as "jesus christ"

"male loneliness' isn't real it's just an idea made up to coddle awful men" I need you to understand. you're right when you say it shouldn't be used as an excuse, but that doesn't solve the problem of (mostly cis & white & straight & ect) men (in the west at least) having nowhere else to go but extremist groups. actually I think it's making the problem worse to treat all men who fall into this as having no societal influences that made them susceptible to it and were just doing it purely for funsies or something
I know it sucks but being cold and bitter is not the solution to people who have turned away from a world they percieve as cold and bitter. you don't have to coddle them or be so so niceys or hold their hand every step of the way but imo it's unrealistic to expect these men, or anyone at all really, to deradicalize themselves without showing them any reason they should or why their worldview is wrong
if we want to try to fix this we have to throw out individualism. even if it doesn't seem fair, it's really the only solution I can see to the problem, because saying "men should just not be bigoted" isn't actually going to fix this

Just because we aren't seeing more posts about Palestine, doesn't mean the genocide has stopped. Let's keep Praying and speaking up for Gaza, Palestine.

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

the leftism leaving people's bodies when you tell them making fun of someone's appearance is always objectively scummy even if the person they're making fun of is bad
