abusive parents: yells at you while you're doing something so you're under so much stress you cannot even think save concentrate on the task you're trying to do

abusive parents: yells at you louder at you for messing up as if they were not the direct and overwhelming cause of it

also abusive parents: I cannot think or work if you make any kind of noise!!!! How am I supposed to work?!???Be neither seen nor heard if I'm trying to get something done!!!!!

abusive parents: Children are supposed to take a yelling AND do tasks at the same time AND not be impacted AND not cry AND have the concentration to do things perfectly the first time with no instructions or guidance and under intense pressure and fear of punishment BUT if I AM doing something then I am a sensitive snowflake who needs perfect peace and quiet and love and support from everyone in the world or I wILL EXPLODE

#sabotage #setting kids up for punishment on purpose #abusive parents #double standards #impossible expectations #dehumanizing children #giving themselves the allowances that children are never allowed to have #doublethink #hypocrisy

one thing everybody should know about me is that english is my favourite subject and solitaire is my favourite book so hold onto your popcorn while i introduce you to a concept that i love.

doublethink is the idea that two opposing concepts can be true at the same time. its from the book 1984 by george orwell. **

solitaire (and most of alice osemans books tbh) have this concept all over them. tori is depressed. she can also feel joy. michael is angry. but he is also grateful. tara can be confident in her sexuality. she can also not want to tell anyone. isaac can feel attraction towards james. this does not erase him being aroace. jane can be both a good and bad parent.

this idea of confliction is so beautiful to me and i think part of the reason that alice osemans books have absolutely captured me.

**thank you to derellenbogen who actually let me know that this is not what doublethink means. so this is actually not quite true and a better word would be juxtaposition!!

I was watching a tiktok by a trans creator about trans media and was vibing with it when suddenly and without warning she referred to Biden as a “genocidal dictator” and that took me out of it entirely

like I’m sorry, what alternate reality do you live in where you’re calling a man genocidal for not dictating what another sovereign country does in the same breath as you’re calling him a dictator?

it’s worse than “you’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t”, you’re damned for both doing and not doing at the same time. it doesn’t matter what you do because they’ve already decided you’re guilty of both at the same time.

deeply unserious people

And once again, this hellsite proves for the umpteenth time that it cannot get its internal narratives straight for even a minute. They cannot even decide whether the official consensus is:

A. “Narcissistic abuse isn’t real. Narcissists are some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met in my life. Your abuser was not a narcissist, and even if s/he was, you probably did something to deserve being abused. If you think that there is such a thing as narcissistic abuse or that narcs don’t deserve our uttermost unconditional love, acceptance, and inclusion, then UNFOLLOW ME AND K.Y.S. YOU ABLEIST BIGOT!!!”

or

B. “It seemed to me that you accused someone of being a narcissist without evidence! That is disgusting! How DARE YOU accuse someone of something so heinous without having any evidence! You are the worst ever! In fact, this proves that you’re projecting! YOU are the narcissist, and YOU are the abusive one! I WILL PRAY TO SATAN THAT Y’ALL BIGOTS ARE SENT TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND THEN I WILL BE LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF AS HE TORTURES YOUR NARCISSISTIC ABUSIVE ARSES IN HELL FOREVER!!!!!”

Like...which one is it, my lovelies? WHICH ONE IS IT??

Weird how "pro-choice" has a widely understood non-literal meaning, but "pro-life" can only mean "pro-things smug leftists think save lives".

I also like how the guy supporting more gun and environmental and economic laws sneers that the right is "about control".

Bobby, do you think if you call it "gun reform" instead of "gun control" we won't notice the hypocrisy?

Today 'Uma Thurman' by Fall Out Boy randomly showed up in my Spotify time capsule and I swear at this point this is just gaslighting. Like no Spotify, I definitely would have remembered if I had listened to Fall Out Boy voluntarily for longer than 'hm, who's Fall Out Boy' and I do not like that you do that to me. You cannot convince me but keep trying to change my mind like this is fucking doublethink. I'm prepared to fight you

#spotify #fall out boy #Uma Thurman #music #gaslighting #doublethink #maybe i just supress it because fall out boy gives me ptsd or something #but im still convinced i would remember

See if you can spot the irony here

Every so often, you hear on the news about some group seeking to ban the likes of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll based on the notion of animals acting human, or otherwise adopting human characteristics, somehow being "unnatural," "perverto" or otherwise "risking corruption of children's minds" ... while at the same time giving a pass to animated flocktoons (Hanna-Barbera's included) where the anthropomorphic is par for the course.

One point I keep trying to drive home here in as many ways as I can is that this is the dystopia we were warned about. The main difference between this mind-controlled dystopia and the fictional dystopias in novels like 1984 is that in 1984 people knew they weren’t living in a free society, whereas in this dystopia the people believe they are free.

In Orwell’s dystopia people knew they weren’t free and had to use doublethink to stay out of trouble with their rulers. In this dystopia people have no idea how pervasively they’re being dominated by their rulers; they think they came up with their ideas, worldview and political positions on their own, when in reality those belief systems were constructed inside their skulls by a profoundly sophisticated propaganda machine without their even knowing it.

All mainstream and semi-mainstream political factions are owned and operated by the powerful, and propaganda is used to get the public subscribing to them to advance the interests of the powerful. Because the overwhelming majority of us have been manipulated into espousing one of these power-serving belief systems (they give you multiple choices depending on your ideological disposition), the more overtly totalitarian measures described by dystopian novelists are unnecessary. You only need to cage a bird if it knows that it can fly.

1971 Nixon Psychotropic Convention

Prohibitionism of the Demon Rum was joined by Chinese reaction against British opium smugglers, then metastasized into a War on Everything, which is the same as a War on Trade. The Panic of 1837 resulted in part from British liquidation of investment in America. The resulting increase in naval armaments and levies on nore docile mercantilist colonies made it possible to completely destroy the…
