Casual cruelty has become so ingrained in a lot of people because we live in a society that is structured in a cruel way. To be quite honest you are obligated to consider the harm of your words and actions no matter your personal hardships.

“The Tories drank wine whilst your nan died alone” Seen in Brighton, UK. This graffiti refers to the recently revelations that Tory politicians and staffers were holding private parties & drinking wine during the strictest lockdown period in UK in 2020, at a time when all private gatherings were officially banned, and the death rate for the elderly was extremely high, due to government malice and ineptitude.

yknow it's a real shame that romans didn't have access to australia specifically for augury reasons. i really wish i could have seen a roman augur have to deal with australian birds. like imagine trying to properly interpret an omen from a fuckin. cassowary

loving that the general consensus here is that "the omen when you see a cassowary is that you are about to die of cassowary"

the thing that a lot of western leftists seem to struggle to even consider is that there is a long long history of resistance and insurrection and social change that has nothing to do with the united states or europe or christianity, that you can’t cast an entire country as a purely good or bad actor without erasing the existence of dissidents within that country with their own values and beliefs that you don’t have the context to understand as an outsider. you can’t just invert everything in the dominant narrative that you’re familiar with (usa bad, enemies of usa good) because then you’re still operating under the assumption that everything is about you

Ppl will be like “end the stigma around mental illness uwu” but still judge you if you’re unemployed or single or not completely self-sufficient or healthy or perfectly groomed or still live with parents and don’t see the hypocrisy in that whatsoever
