please don't mistake silence for hatred. please don't mistake unanswered plotting messages as indifference, or a lack of enthusiasm towards you. considering the ages of most roleplayers, many of us have bills to pay, families to take care of, medical conditions to treat, appointments to make, classes to take, homes to clean, and lives to live away from the computer that are far, far more important than writing on tumblr — life has a tendency to get in the way of hobbies and fun things like this. be patient with your fellow writers. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. of course you can set your boundaries, keep your space comfortable, and softblock whoever you wish, but do so while recognizing it's probably not hatred or apathy that keeps them from leaping into your dms with message after message. they probably love this hobby just as much as you... but sometimes life gets in the way.

hyperempathetic followers can now rest easy knowing the oceangate missing people have been dead for days and didn't feel a thing when it happened. low empathy followers can be bummed out that they found the wreckage so we can no longer gleefully imagine the passengers slowly freezing to death. normal followers (everyone in the middle) can be reasonably irritated that untold money was spent going after these idiots when poor disenfranchised people die all the time. if you learned about the migrant tragedy in the mediterranean sea thru this that's good (i did too), it's ALWAYS a good time to love and support refugees, migrants, n impoverished people. we have FAR more in common with them than we do the rich.

wait what did paramount do?
ok gonna be fully honest i dont watch the superbowl cause im too pretty but apparently they put up a "stop being mean to israel :(" message on there. they also sent funds to them last october at least
anyway yesterday they found the bodies of a six-year-old palestinian girl, her whole family, and the two ambulance workers sent to retrieve them, all killed by israeli army gunfire. she had called for help beforehand, hence the ambulance, and her call is recorded. the iof was told ahead of time that the ambulance was coming and approved it, then destroyed the van on purpose. their bodies were left there for two weeks. they are part of around 600,000 casualties among the palestinian civilians.
sorry to dampen my fun lil sonic blog with this sort of heavy shit, i'll try to tag it appropriately, but what the actual fuck is wrong with people.

the PRC, USSR, and all of former and current socialism wishes they could have propaganda apparatuses as effective and globe spanning as the united states and its walking dogs. If you've ever spent a day in front of CCTV, like I did as a kid, you will find that they do not lie about world events and they will report just about anything from regional wars to trade shows in African/Latin american countries. Of course, there is a bias. In CCTV or People's Daily, the news is largely catered for a Chinese audience with proletarian class nature. On the other hand, western media has such a grasp on their respective political-economies that they have become arbiters of truth in every possible way and in our modern day and age, they are so entrenched that they can simply run any lie or omission they want and it will be instantly taken as fact. It won't matter if they are wrong, or lied, or omitted important details, or entire events. At the end of the day, they served their purpose of planting a seed in the minds of average westerners justifying the next imperialist attack in service of the bourgeoisie.
This well-oiled propaganda machine is extremely well hidden to yankees and westerners who are not looking out specifically for it, and indeed, the vast majority are not taught to look into it at all. For example, the west can manufacture utterly absurd lies about the DPRK from "anonymous sources" and "defectors" and because you simultaneously cannot verify the veracity of these sources and cannot resist the social capital of western media inside western DOTBs thus the default position is to agree, believe, and submit. For me, this illusion was broken when the gaze of bourgeois media turned on China. They were reporting events and actions which I knew for a fact were false from both living there and having family living there who contact me regularly. Yet, despite this, westerners were eating it up unconditionally. There's not another experience more surreal than this.
