sometimes I truly genuinely forget nuance is dead on the internet and then I have to read people who should be on the same side argue about politics on the internet and I start wanting to bash my head into a wall.

#damien.txt #ohhh my god. rattling the bars of my cage. lesser of two evils is a real and true concept.#revolution and changing a fucking country and keeping marginalized people alive takes many different forms #and guess what! voting for the 'somewhat lesser right wing' president over the 'extremely right wing' president IS one of those forms!#change is not going to happen because you voted third party or didn't fucking vote. it is actively going to make things worse actually #truly i think half the people making these comments have no idea how the us government works.#revolutions and protests and community projects and other revolutionary activity i wont explicitly name here will change things. and we #should also be doing that. but we can't just sink into the idealism of those things and ignore the actions we can take around us in reality #and in our reality at this moment. truly. voting strategically to keep republicans out of office is critical.#do you know why the government has been particularly shit the past couple years? sure yeah biden is a shit president and that's part of it #but also. thinking back to 2017-2020. when trump appointed all those conservative right wing people #to positions that opened up. like the supreme court justices. and laws and things started to take a downturn?#whoa..... almost like.... we should prevent that from happening again..... like that was Bad or something......#im truly begging you to take a look at project 2025 and see if that's something you're willing to risk #'im still not voting for joe he supports genocide' cool i guess. hope you enjoy your moral superiority complex. let me know how you plan #to actually do anything about the genocide anyways.#politics

although i dont believe that there werent also some transandrophobics under the outcry against finnster, there was good reasons why he was being critizised. have you seen all the times he used the t slur? he used to be pro trump if im not wrong. also his "efforts" are only attempts of burying his past and he doesnt really deserve a redemption arc since he still plays with that sissyfication kink thing, which simply fetishizes trans women. finnster has been outwardly hateful towards a group and then profits off of it. no im sorry he gotta go! im not even a trans woman but i would be pissed off too if someone bullied me and then started copying the things i get bullied for

ok well i AM trans and genderfluid and you dont fucking speak for me. we gotta get rid of this idea that just because someone was bigoted in the past they can't change as a person and move away from those beliefs because otherwise nobody's gonna actually want to change. this is such a pessimistic way to view people and call me naive but i want to believe that people can change and not be stuck in their ways

i know i sure as hell said some shit when i was first figuring out my identity because i was in a heavily transphobic environment. that kind of stuff happens, not everyone grows up in a place that's super supportive and a lot of the time you internalize it or end up parroting nasty shit. the difference is i wasn't going through that kind of thing as a highly public streamer where people could record and repost every single thing i said and spread it around for years

also i want you to ask yourself if this sissyfication kink thing is actually problematic or if he's just comfortable with his sexuality and posting thirst traps like a whole bunch of other content creators do. would this actually be a problem if he wasn't trans. be honest

"Youre seriously not going to vote for Biden? Yeah he supports Israel, but do you seriously think Trump would do any different? At least vote for Biden so it doesnt get worse."

Committing genocide is literally the single worst crime you can commit

Biden is no better than Trump. He is just as bad if not worse. Sure, maybe itll be a little better for queer people or women in the US if Biden is reelected but that is a really fucking privileged position to take that hes still better because "at least its not us getting attacked." And Im speaking as an afab agender lesbian. Dont try and call me sexist or homo or transphobic for this. We are fucking priviledged to be able to say Biden is doing good for us while he is actively committing a genocide and murdering tens of thousands of people.

It does not get worse than genocide. We are already in a fascist genocidal state. Stop acting like its not all that bad because its not us getting thrown into prisons and starved. We are already there.

Deciding between Trump and Biden is just picking which groups will be the main target. Both are guilty of so much pain and suffering and death. Neither is better than the other.

Because i hate myself (actually cause I saw a bumper sticker today that made me scream in pure rage) (and also cause like… because i need to be armed to the teeth with knowledge and facts because conservative right-wing family members love to parrot bullshit propaganda when not just being outright bigots🙄) I decided to take a read through the entire Wikipedia page concerning Trump’s 2024 run (and then I looked at his actual campaign website cause I hate myself more and wanted to see some of his actual rhetoric that was mentioned but not quoted) and it’s just like…

He fucking wants to appoint himself as god-king (wants to expand power of the executive (diminishing the separation of powers), turn govt civil employees status to ‘at will’ for firing, and to impose congressional term limits while also abolishing his own) and “root out” the “vermin” in this country (literal rhetoric he has used) and with this Court it probably won’t just go unchecked, but like I’m afraid it could be affirmatively endorsed using principles of originalism and ‘history and tradition’ (whose fucking version of history???? Huh???? Because it certainly wasn’t fucking mine when you overturned Roe in Dobbs) but in the fast and loose way that they like to, where sometimes they want to be textualist and sometimes they don’t.

Assuming he tries, I do think expansion of the executive might not get support from some of the conservative justices under principles of federalism which is— wrong math, right answer. But they 100% would justify his white Christian supremacist alloamatocisheteronormative patriarchal policies under originalism and ‘history and tradition’. As if letting the past guide the future isn’t a fucking BATSHIT thing to do. We learn the past to do BETTER in the future, not to fucking EMULATE it and use their standards to STAGNANT the lives of real people. EVEN THE FUCKING DRAFTERS OF THE GODDAMN CONSTITUTION KNEW THAT IN FUCKING 1787 SO WHY THE FUCK ARE WE STILL DOING THIS SHIT! But I digress from my originalism rant because this is a Presidential Campaign rant.

Like Trump literally said he wants to (and WILL BE) a dictator.

“He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’. I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”

“Baker today in the New York Times said that I want to be a dictator. I didn’t say that. I said I want to be a dictator for one day.”

*insert regina george* so you agree? You want to be a dictator? Pretty sure being one for “one day” is called establishing the dictatorship and suuure Jan im sure that it’ll stay limited in scope to the borders and drilling (as if that would fucking make it okay???) 🙄

And then the option on the ‘opposing’ side is Joe Biden, who, chief among his many faults, is aiding and supporting a genocide. The fact that he has no competition in primaries (literally only one other person is even trying) and will end up being the Democratic candidate has me so incensed and the fact that Joseph Biden is fucking painted as the ‘radical left’ by opposition is both objectively hilarious and just horrifying and dangerously (and probably intentionally) misleading so as to continue the shift of whatever “middle” exists to actually be further and further right wing.

There is not really a larger point here and I’m super not looking for discourse but if anyone is gonna try anyway— don’t bother me without a source.

Anyway I’m just fucking tired and fuck the electoral college and the fact that one of these two ancient men winning seems inevitable

Hello! Hope you’re doing well!! I’m not sure you’d like followers to respond to/ interact with your posts w your thoughts in the tags but I just wanted to say that I totally agree w your thoughts on Coryo and Sejanus LOL. Im v surprised (tho I guess I shouldn’t be given how old I am at this point + the no. of fandoms I’ve been in) that people can read them so differently from the novel. Coryo is an unreliable narrator and that makes it kind of fun to read because his pov shouldn’t always be taken as the truth. In fact I think it’s fun to read how differently his peers view him/ his r/s w other people vs what he himself perceives. Sejanus is such a nice, sweet boy and it’s kinda sad that other people don’t read him that way just because the book is filtered through coryo’s thoughts haha. He’s kind and dares to stand up for what he believes in… I think the saddest thing abt his story is that he was genuinely trying to help others directly but unfortunately the people he spoke to weren’t the most honest/ dependable (I don’t think the stuff with the rebels would have gone down well) and he also trusted Coryo (I don’t blame him cause Coryo was the only “nice” person in the Capitol) 😭 I suppose that’s also how difficult it is to deal w people sometimes IRL (in extreme situations). Anyway ya just wanted to share my thoughts :x feel free to ignore if this isn’t something you’re ok with!!

hi nonie! i'm absolutely okay with followers interacting with my tags and posts/coming to talk about this stuff with me! as you can probably tell i've got a lot to say about this stuff - i'm just a chronic in the tag poster lol.

because suzanne collins wrote the ballad of songbirds and snakes in a third person point of view, i think that readers have taken to assuming that what they're getting is an unbiased narrator, when in fact we are still very much getting a biased point of view from coriolanus. sure, we are distanced from his thoughts--not exactly seeing things through his eyes as we did with katniss--but that doesn't mean we don't have access to him and that his thoughts aren't distorting what we are seeing. i've thought a lot about the reasons suzanne collins might've chosen to use third person pov when she used a first person pov for the rest of the novels, and i don't think there was one definite reason. some of the brilliance of suzanne collins' writing lies in the fact that you do have derive these meanings for yourself at times. personally, i like to think that she chose to use third person pov because this story, while very much coriolanus-centric, belonged to characters like sejanus plinth and lucy gray, too.

the fact that this book came out during the trump's presidency isn't at all lost on me. i think what suzanne collins was saying was: look how badly this system failed this once privileged white boy. for all intents and purposes this should make him angry, and here are these district kids who have suffered just as he has. he can relate more to them than he can to any of his capital peers. he knows what it is to hunger and suffer and fight for your life every day, to be made to perform. when coriolanus turns his back on sejanus plinth and lucy gray baird, it is so tragic because he was meant to side with them and yet at the end of the day he turned his back on them because he wanted to be with 'his people.' he upheld this system that had so failed him because he thought people like lucy gray and sejanus plinth were primitive and less than because that's the mindless shit he had been fed his entire life. this is exactly what happened during that election. i've seen countless white people, who are every bit as poor and destitute as the immigrants that seek to come to this country for help -- if not more -- turn their back on them and support trump. even the poorest of whites think they are better than the richest of latinos or black people because this what their systems teach them, and it makes them feel good to think that.

i think that's why sejanus was district 2 turned capital. i believe that this was commentary on how, no matter how far poc and/or immigrants come, these white people will always view them as less than and that the system will never be forgiving of them. i do genuinely believe that coriolanus thought that sejanus' parents would save him in the end, and the fact that they couldn't was so shocking because he had, up until that point, seen the ways wealth had benefited plinth. he could not conceptualize a world where wealth wouldn't get a person what they wanted because he did not know what it was to be district. they did not see sejanus plinth, heir to the plinth fortune. they saw a district rat, a nameless, faceless traitor to kill. it is no surprise that coriolanus snow climbed to the top on the back of sejanus plinth tragic ending, because that's simply what happens every day.

i do understand and don't absolutely hate the conversations people have surrounding sejanus' privilege and what he chose to do with it/ what he chose not to do, but i think to consider sejanus an annoying, selfish character is erroneous. he was a boy who knew that this system would never favor him and was trying his best to envision a world where it might, and yes he did make stupid rash decisions, but at the end of the day what killed him was coriolanus snow and snow's desire for power. sejanus plinth was not stupid for trusting coriolanus snow, either; coriolanus snow was evil for betraying the boy's trust for his own self-serving agenda.

it is hard to live in a world like this. even as a white woman with a mexican father, i have have had to experience the kind of things sejanus did with people talking poorly about him and his family behind his back, and openly to his face. i am not accepted by either side and never will be, just as he wasn't. i will say i do experience immense privilege because of the color of my skin, and i won't ever pretend that i don't know that, but that's what i'm talking about: no matter how much i look like them, and act like them, i will always be a mexican's daughter and i am happy about that fact. i am mexican as much as i am white but it doesn't make the fight i have to struggle because of it any more fun.

Do You think Scott will eventually do something that is going to be so bad that people will not overlook or find excuses for his actions? I have seen this part with celebrities and influencers where they do something really bad and people ignore it at first, but one day they do something truly atrocious and everyone decides to stop supporting them.

i mean, if scott coming out and full stop admitting that he's not sorry that he's pro-life and supports facists and rapists isnt horrible enough, im not sure what else would actually drive willfully ignorant people away. JKR has been getting worse and worse and there's still harry potter fans using their "but my childhood! but my coping!" as some weird excuse. scott "trump is great for america's borders" cawthon could literally say anything and then go "but i care about my minority fans!" and the piss weak liberal and centrists of the fandom instantly forgive and forget

#i hear you #scott cawthon #still thinking about how dawko and other big fnaftubers were like uwu scotts not a bad guyyyy #choke! literally choke! scott thinks that half his fanbase are rapists and drug dealers who need to stay out of america #did the man forget that hes got a huge mexican following???? lol

i have a genuine question, im not american and i dont really know your politics other than currently its trump vs biden but like. what are americans supposed to do this election?

cause afaik your system is basically a 2 party system at this point, not because other parties cant be elected but because not enough people vote for them to make votes worth being cast for them. like if you vote green youre tossing your vote out.

if biden is horrible, and trump is comically horrible, and no other parties can safely be voted for, then what are people supposed to do in the election? feel free to delete this or whatever but im just genuinely curious because from an outsiders view biden does *seem* like the lesser evil (dont get me wrong hes still evil), but also if you suggest voting blue then thats also apparently wrong

I'm probably not the best person to answer this, but I'll give it a shot.

The entire two party system in the US is an illusion, it's this facade they keep up to make people think we are a democracy. One of the two-party systems main functions, to me, is keeping people convinced that we can vote our way to any real systemic change. That voting is the only *real* way things should change, and this idea is so incredibly damaging to getting people to actually do something other than checking a box every four years. These fuckers in charge are banking on people believing in this system, fully buying into it is playing directly into their hands.

Direct action, collective action is what is going to create meaningful, substantial change. The protests in support of Palestine are an example, people blocking ships transporting weapons, people superglueing their hands to pavement to stop the macys parade, people attacking and vandalizing weapons manufacturer's facilities, flooding government offices with phone calls so that the phone doesnt stop ringing. These are just a few examples that are infinitely more meaningful than someone screeching "vote blue no matter who". And I'm really just pulling on recent events, I'm sure there is someone who can elaborate on what true direct action really looks like and lay it out more clearly.

I don't think me writing in Hatsune Miku on my ballot is like, radical or actually going to do anything. My conscience however forbids me from voting for someone who has consistently shown again and again that everything he says is a lie, everything he does is in service of capitalism and fascism, and everything he represents is everything I hate about this country. Joe Biden is a rabid dog who needs to be beaten to death with a stick, and frankly he's getting off easy with that in my opinion.

So YOU want TRUMP?? The villain who wants all queer people dead? You are obviously a psy-op, you russian commie.

no, i actually dont want Trump, believe it or not. i just want fucking accountability from the white liberals and queers, who are going to be voting for genocide joe. i want them to acknowledge who they are putting in power. i am sure this will shock you but joe biden is just as bad as trump at this point. there is no lesser evil. children are still in cages, as of 2022 over 204 anti-lgbt laws were passed, and he is actively helping israel genocide palestine. do not fucking say he is the lesser of the two evils, because by doing so you are minimizing what is happening in gaza.

and like. once again i am pointing to the 13 other people who are running for president for the 2024 elections. im sure the great white queer liberals can pick literally anybody else to support.

#ask #anon #like you guys are actively minimizing the harm genocide joe is doing to gaza by calling him 'the lesser of the two evils'#there is still time to push a different candidate forwards

okay im getting real sick of people saying americans cant vote for biden because he's still supporting a genocide -- whats the other option, then? because everyone will not just. i really dont understand the reasoning. has threatening to not vote ever helped before? it matters when its individual and you call up senators and say because of this and that i will not be voting for you. but just saying in general im not going to vote at all doesnt do anything because your vote doesnt matter if its not turned to someone else. like sure, if everyone decided to vote for an independent party candidate (and i mean EVERYONE, every single democrat who wouldve voted for biden) we could have a better future for everyone. (and thats still an if.) but they wont. your tumblr activism is not making any change. its just stupid. focus efforts on helping palestine and making change on that issue. dont retract your vote. you lose all power when you do that and its a dumbass move. and yes, americans are scared that the us will get worse because of trump if he gets office. i dont understand this either, do we want to make millions of lives worse because, what? to make a point? im sorry if you think thats selfish. voting has never been a pick-the-right-guy-and-everything-will-be-fixed. its always been pick the better option, even if both are in the depths of hell, and keep doing that until you die.

#YES its choosing between the devil and the demon but i dont see anyone overthrowing the government and whipping the system in shape. do you?#or are you just pretending you do so you can justify spouting whatever comes to mind?#there will be no glorious revolution your children will not be born into an unrecognizable utopia #you are actually making things worse.#im sick of having this conversation with people who are ignoring the real tangible ways you can help palestine and solve THE ACTUAL ISSUE #like are we gonna keep making it about individual americans again and again or are we getting our heads out of our asses this year #the tree speaks #im willing to talk about this but dont be a dickhead bc that automatically erases any merit you couldve had

yo one thing about nolan’s dad: i found his twitter the other day and i’m not sure if it’s hacked or not (doesn’t seem to be because he still likes some hockey and canada related tweets), but his profile is full of MAGA and trump supporter shit. this plus the vaccines stuff, my guy is probably a full QAnon at this point… the kids probably make a lot of fun of him for it lmao

Oh bestie everyone and there uwufication of that kid and his family aren't gonna like knowing the truth about this one heehee.

I had someone in my DM's try to beef me because I stated that him and his family might not be these super liberal people as most think, and you can get that off just peeping some of there socials for 30 seconds lmao. Mind you im pre sure his dad was on this right wing shit for a good while, nobody just picked up on it LOL... like no one is making this up its right there.

They're probably all very beware of their dads beliefs, but they're literally all adults to either agree, disagree, or be neutral about it.

#I also could hardly care #cause im able to respect everyone beliefs even if it doesn't align with mine #and at the end of the day i bet you they're all good people still so shouldn't that matter the most??#idk ppl flip over everything so i wonder how this will go #and reality check to some #but nolpats n his family probably could give less of a fuck about randoms stans not liking them over this lmaoo #nolan patrick #nolpat #ask #jan '24 subs

I hope this okay to ask feel free to ignore if not but how do you manage to cope with people saying such inflammatory stuff about matty constantly? You seem very adjusted to it, I am usually alright at ignoring it and I know its not true but sometimes I see things people say and I feel a bit sick because that's what people think and what if they think I support that and idk. I get scared there might be truth in it sometimes even though I don't think that and it gets difficult to cope with. I really strongly believe in having nuance in a situation, being critical of the people you enjoy instead of blindly praising them and not putting people on pedestals, which is why I still engage with matty because to me he is a guy who says and does stupid things occasionally like most people realistically do. But people see it so black and white and you're either a good person or you're not and I hate that and it gets to me sometimes.

no worries at all! that's what fandoms are for. to debate and cope with things like this. especially at a weird time that this fandom seems to be in rn.

For me, it's a mixture of different things. The first being that I've tested my own beliefs and so I'm more sure of them than ever. That's part of what I love about being a fan of Matty. He's constantly challenging me. Whenever he does or says something that I personally wouldn't do, I stop and ask myself why. Would I not do it because I think it's wrong? or would I not do it because I have been conditioned to behave a certain way automatically (whether by culture, by upbringing, by societal expectations of women and femininity, etc) and its never occurred to me that there might be an alternative until he just showed me? So, that way, my own thinking is under the microscope, and if something doesn't hold up, I get rid of it, if something remains firm then I have to agree to disagree with him on it (the nepo baby thing is a good example of that. He's just wrong there, lol. Sorry Matty.)

I had a similar moment of doubt to what you're describing when the podcast shitshow happened. Cuz I wasn't entirely disgusted by it. Did I think that some jokes were tone-deaf? Yeah. But I didn't feel AS offended as everyone who was saying they no longer support the band, or their opinion of him has changed forever, or that hes not the same guy who wrote "loving someone" or "love it if we made it" or "jc2005gba" or "people," and hes showing his true colors or whatever. So, I was like "broooo am I the problem? am I blind? is his sexiness making me think that he could do no wrong and its to the detriment of my moral character? so I went back and listened to the podcast THREE FUCKIN TIMES. After some thinking, I felt like okay some jokes really shouldn't have been made, period. Like he fucked up at a handful of moments, BUT the VAST MAJORITY of the reactions were to things taken out of context and were exaggerations of how one SHOULD react. fucking up doesn't mean he's secretly evil and it doesn't cancel out all the good that he's done.

So, I walked away from the whole situation even firmer in my beliefs about what is appropriate and what's not, what I personally stand for as a human, and what I believe about Matty's character. Which is why, when I see that shit that people are saying now, I'm like "they're a bunch of morons." cuz I thought about it and know what's what. I think they did as well maybe they wouldn't be saying half the shit that they are saying. Kissing fans at a show after checking their ID to see that they're of age and after they've consented to it and BEGGED for it is NOT grooming. Saying that he likes hot women is NOT misogynistic, "thank you Kanye very cool" is a LITERAL TWEET by Donald Trump used in an ironic context of a protest song, it's NOT anti-semitic. you see where im going with this...

Does it break my fuckin heart when I see people wishing him relapse and overdosing and death? fuck yeah. This person stopped me from killing myself i don't wanna see people wishing him dead! ESPECIALLY that half the time, I remember that interview moment where he said that he gets nervous when hes not with "my people." like he's aware that hes rough around the edges, he knows it takes a moment to, like, figure out who he is and that not everyone gets it, and he's genuinely grateful to those of us who have given him the space to be himself and who believe in his art enough to take a moment and think about what he does to the point where it makes him feel safe and he doesn't take it for granted. So, to picture him, perhaps scrolling online or whatever and seeing people say this vile shit about him....it makes me sick to my stomach. But I try and deal with it in three ways. 1) I remind myself who Matty truly is (he didn't HAVE to put hijab wearing women in TOOTIME we are literally invisible to popculture i never see myself represented anywhere. we are not considered a demographic at all; he didn't HAVE to write LIIWMI, he didn't HAVE to give airtime to the speech that he gave at the brits in 2019, he doesn't HAVE to go out of his way to support the artists that Dirty Hit supports and keep in touch with young people's concerns, etc) That's Matty. He's always saying that people take girl fandoms for granted but younger female fans are smarter than him and have taught him so much. HE LEARNS from his fans. he doesn't think of us as something has accumulated because of his genius or whatever. 2) I remind myself that this isn't really about Matty at all. These swifties don't believe in being social justice warriors! if they did, they'd be okay with calling out taylor for her mistakes. Or they wouldn't be so nasty as to threaten to listen to her stolen music and stop supporting her re-records. They want justification for their hatred of Matty, and cuz matty's mistakes are so public, they have a lot to use against him. People who use his mistakes and his addiction against him aren't people I should concern myself with. what they believe is worth shit to me. Where do they get off calling him a bad person when they're dragging him for things he didn't even do???? yeah, they can go to hell for all I care. When someone has a legitimate criticism of him, or when he does something actually bad, then I'll listen. Like I did when the pod happened. 3) I live in my happy little bubble, lmao. I SCROLLLL bestie. SCROLLL past them comments. I know that shit is gonna break my heart and ruin my day, so I will not subject my eyeballs to it. At most, if it shows up against my will as it sometimes does on tiktok, I'll remind myself that the stupidity of the human race is kinda funny, I'll laugh about it, imagine Matty's brutal humor making a meme out of it if he were still online, crack myself up. and move on...

Unfortunately, people who don't take the time to actively seek growth remain in their black and white thinking. Just because a massive number of people think something is true, doesn't mean it is. recent political changes across the planet have definitely shown us that there can be great idiocy in greta numbers, lmao. this is no different.

Sorry this is a long ass rant. you were probably looking for a concise and simple response but i just....dont know that there is one, lol. Hope this helps but i know how you feel and it's really hard to remain calm in the face of it all. ohhh god. hopefully it ends soon.

I can't sleep and i was having thoughts about Scott cawthon and fnaf. Lets ramble while im sleep deprived at 5 am. I have a weird perspective because i still think its okay to like fnaf and i dont think scott is the WORST person in the world, but i also dont think hes great and i think the fnaf fandom reacted very shittily. You can think of you will of me and my opinionz but i totally do understand and think youre justified if you disagree and think that fnaf is bad to support because of scott

(What the fuck where is the "read more" option on mobile.... Fuck it)

The whole drama with scott cawthon like. Last year. Was really fucking disheartening. As a fnaf fan who happens to be bigender and queer, seeing a majority of the stupid fucking fnaf fans immediately go "we support you scott you did nothing wrong!!" While being shitty to actual trans and queer people who were rightfully upset... I can't even put into words how disheartening and awful that is, i think those who jumped on the "i stand with scott" bandwagon should frankly feel ashamed.

I also understand that a majority of fnaf fans are kids and some were probably too young to understand the nuance of it all. It felt like their favorite game series was being attacked! And they wanted to feel like they could still like the game, so when scott made his super shitty response they were all like "its okay we forgive you" even though they weren't necessarily the ones able to make that call (not saying a cishet white person cant forgive Scott cawthon, just that they should listen to and seriously consider the voices of queer people or poc or anyone else who is harmed by the polititions he donated to.) But ultimately, being young isnt an excuse for excusing bad things.

Scott isnt the best person. And by supporting him, you do in a way support the shitty politicians he donates to.

However, i dont actually think scott is like. 100% completely immoral. Im going to be very generous here: this next paragraph is just giving him the entire benefit of the doubt and playing devils advocate, so feel free to disregard it: but hes not as bad as joanne rowling or anthing. He doesnt activly go out of his way to spread hatespeech, hasnt filled his game with antisemitism and homophobia and transphobia like she has, and by all accounts seems to be a nice guy who has been caring to queer fans, even if he is a Republican. I don't necessarily think being a Republican makes you an evil person. Yes, if youre extreme about it you are an evil person, but like. Im sure many of us have Republican family members you wouldnt necessarily call evil. Like, i have a wonderful grandma whos a Republican but she also fuckin hates trump and supports me and my identity and is generally a good person. I also think its worth mentioning that a lot of Republicans didnt like trump, but felt like they had to vote for him because they were Republican.

Now im not saying that last bit applies to scott cawthon: hes said he voted for trump so Yikes Man. He did support trump and other bad politicians, and in doing so he supported the terrible policys they push forward. Thats awful. And thats what makes him not the best person. More fnaf fans should consider that.

Finally: even if scott is bad, i don't think its bad to still like and play the fnaf games. Like i mentioned before, the politics of all that arent really written into fnaf and its story (claims to be pro life, makes a game where all the kids die anyways 😳). Scott has basically given steel wool the games now (even if he is still behind the scenes😔). And i dont think you're a bad person if you like. Buy fnaf merch and the games (yeah it sucks that in some way you are supporting someone who financially supports bad policies... But i can also see some removal from it simply because in this society today it is near impossible to not support Any Business Or Person that supports a Republican... In america at least, like half of our stores/businesses go towards that shit)

Sorry for this rant over i need some sleep i have a final paper due tomorrow that i havent started and im going to denver and im sleep deprived. FUCK

in elementary school before i moved i had a best friend her name was like taylor or something and we were besties. one day this guy named elijah was a new kid in our class.. and my friend taylor had a crush on him! 😱 and she told me and i was like ok i keep your secret 👍 so we were besties

somehow (i don't even remember how) at recess our class split into two teams and one team was full of girls (girl team) and one team was full of boys (boy team). HOWEVER i worked as a spy for BOTH TEAMS. THEY JUSF LET ME DO THAT. FOR NO REASON. i shouldve realized i was nonbinary but anyways im pretty sure this relayes to taylor and elijah because they constantly had conflict during these fights between teams and to be honest i don't remember what happened or why this even happened but

i dont think anything wver happened between taylor or elijah.. BUT. I REMEMBER. ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. I TOOK THE BUS TO AND FROM SCHOOL RIGHT? AND SO DID ELIJAH. AND I WAS CRYING THAT DAY BECAUSE MY PARENTS TOLD ME WE WERE MOVING AND I WAS DEVASTATED. I WAS CRYING WHILE LEAVING THE BUS FOR THE LAST TIME AND ELIJAH. ELIJAH WHO HAD NEVER EVER SHOWN SIGNS OF CARING ABOUT ME IN HIS LIFE, IM NOT EVEN KIDDING HE DIDNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ME, WAS ALSO CRYING AND WAVING GOODBYE TO ME. THAT STILL FUCKING HAUNTS ME TO THIS DAY. DID HE LIKE ME THAT WHOLE TIME? DID HE WANT TO BE FRIENDS SECRETLY? DID HE PREFER ME OVER MY BEST FRIEND TAYLOR, WHO HAD A CRUSH ON HIM, AND ALSO I KIND OF HAD A CRUSH ON HIM BUT NEVER TOLD HER OUT OF GUILT? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN. WHY DID HE DO THAT.

also i foudn out taylor was a trump supporter later in life and i was like Oh

#this time period of my life haunts me to this dat #piper silly thoughts

like. okay.

im fully certain trump, if he is in the running by november, will win the 2024 election.

put simply. biden fucked up really fucking bad by dividing his voter base by funding a genocide. theres just no two ways about it. hes fucked.

that being said.

if biden isnt going to win, a third party candidate is sure as hell not going to win in the nightmare system we are in now.

so your options are between 2 genocidal fascists. one endorsed and funded a genocide, let roe v wade get overturned, is trying to ban guns, has not made good on any of his election promises, and supports nuking an entire social media platform as a means of censorship. the other will double down on these (sans gun ban) and has an active public plan to further restrain the rights of his citizens should he be elected.

faced with these options, many choose to either vote third party or not vote at all in protest.

this, at best, will possibly indicate that there is interest in the reform of the system which forces this dichotomy. at worst? you throw away your vote to save your own sense of morality. you at least get to feel better about yourself. maybe the world still goes to shit but at least it wasnt your fault.

personally. if im forced to pick between those two options. im going to pick the one that minimizes harm as much as possible. because, frankly, i have very little faith the people in charge are going to change the system for anything but their benefit.

but like . what do i know.

#this is very rambly #mostly just a way of getting my feelings on the subject out #idk. its been haunting me. shits fucked #we need that damn miyake event #us politics #politics #hell

Poverty is not actively recognized in our country nor in the discussions of politics, and I feel deeply hurt and demotivated because of it, especially as someone who has been forced to live in the lowest sectors of it. It ends up being a discussion only used as a trump card, not a regular talking point that needs to be actively recognized. Milenials and Gen Z is the most in poverty, despite all the opportunities people had in college or elsewhere.

Ever since I got kicked out of my parents home, I have moved to the slummiest parts of my state's capital and I live in this shitty, broken down apartment that has lead paint in certain areas, mold in (possibly) the floor, the walls, the ceilings, and other areas. Our bathroom sink and toilet barely work, the refrigerator is broken down, and for the first 6 months, the lock to our front door was completely broken.

In all of that, I and my boyfriend have gone through a plethora of jobs. My boyfriend started talking about unionizing in his first job, got fired almost immediately. His second and third job was too stressful to keep up with mentally. And only now did he get a job that only gave him part time hours.

My first job was too far away to keep working in and they didnt even respect me for all the shitty work they put me through when we only had a skeleton crew. My second job, i got fired for taking a very small tip from someone. And the job Im currently working for is full of shitheads who've gotten recently promoted and are barking and kneeling for the owner and his shitty decisions. (For example, we had a foot and a half of snow and everyone avoided the topic of closing early and shamed me and another coworker for not coming in when it was too unsafe for either of us to leave) I also broke down sobbing during a stressful rush and was blamed for not communicating with my manager about the rush.

Either way, regardless of my own treatement and how much I can tell you about the treatment of my boyfriend at his workplaces, we're still in deep poverty and our rent is going to definitely increase, with the fact that we dont have a car yet that can help get us to and from places. And this constant feeling of dread that I cant escape this has made me so much more less hopeful than I was before.

I have nearly lost my faith in leftist/communist/anarchist movements because there is zero groups in sight in my state and anywhere near where I live. I have tried getting financial help by setting up GoFundMe's, public kofi's or anything. And the constant struggling and difficulty with my recent schedules have made it impossible for me to engage in any of my own artistic interests becsuse of the sheer amount of demotivation I've been through.

I want to be happy, I want to live a fulfilled life, but I dont want to be stuck under this constantly pressuring system that will harm me for not having *credit* and being a young adult.

I need money for a car, but no one is willing to spare because I'm seen as too young and inexperienced. I need credit for getting an apartment, getting a car, getting ANYWHERE, and I fear debt like no one else in the world.

And it has only made me more and more hopeless, because this a problem that is seemingly everywhere, but Americans dont talk about. They wont support each other through it, and I and my boyfriend have talked to people, have tried getting support, but we only get scoffs, angry mullings about making sure we make our own lives better, and advice that gets us nowhere. My boyfriend was told by everyone except his immediate family that trying to unionize was dumb and would have only led to his firing. That he needed to just suck it up and get better.

I want to have hope in people, but this last year has been so dejecting for me and my hope. I dont know what to do anymore. It hurts me a lot that there isnt anything for me to do. I, my boyfriend, and their sibling might become homeless because of the rent increase in the next 3 months, and I feel too dejected to even ask for money anymore because I know no one has money anymore.

I'm just going to end off on the note that I'm not planning anything. I just am going to survive. And if anyone wants to help, I just need help with saving up for a car so send me a DM or something. I have about 1200 between me and my boyfriend.

And be sure to ask everyone you know about their situation, be sure to help as many people as you can. I've been doing it despite my poverty, and it's because I have money to spend for myself that I know would be used better. It only takes a little to make people hopeful, and doing nothing makes them lose their hope.
