It’s like when the Black Panthers started arming themselves because they were scared of the policing in their communities and then white people started becoming concerned about gun control.
Like I get the funny haha that saving 5k is difficult but I also must stress that line has also aged significantly with the context of what that $5000 is for.
That 5k in savings is for down payment on a house.
Republican fascism depends on maximum corruption and hypocrisy for their leaders.
they “forget” anything that doesn’t benefit their side and push their agenda.
Everyone going off in the notes about how this is taken out of context has really never read the gospels have they
Jesus flipped tables because He was pissed that people were capitalizing religion and using it as a tool of personal profit and oppression. Kind of like, I don't know, the whole of conflated American Christianity/Nationalism?
today’s gender of the day is unfortunate time loop accidents
IM CRYING this is the best gender ever
#probably not what op is referring to but i keep thinking about those thinkpieces that are like #'straight cis men HATE astrology because they are all obsessed with facts and logic and reason and rationality >:( #meanwhile women are intuitive and spiritual and emotional and have a better grasp on astrology <3' THIS IS TRAD SHIT. THIS IS MISOGYNISTIC #YOU'RE SAYING THE SAME SHIT CONSERVATIVE MISOGYNISTS HAVE SAID ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN FOR CENTURIES AND JUST TACKING ON 'AND WOMEN ARE GOOD'
“I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?” - Ursula K. Le Guin
what’s fascinating about this is that it actually is alpha male behavior, as these men define it. it’s more important to them to be SEEN BY OTHER MEN to be commanding women’s subservient attention, no matter how fake, shallow, and transactional that service is, no matter how indifferent that woman is. it’s about the performance. it’s about the domination.
it’s pathetic to love and be loved by women, because it’s pathetic to be vulnerable and intimate. it’s pathetic to share an intimate and meaningful meal with a woman who loves you and has chosen to spend her life by your side because it’s pathetic to engage with women as if they were people who you cared for. who you wanted to like you. it’s pathetic to be human, mortal.
alpha males worship a cold and hollow masculinity that’s hard and painful and unlovable and they will die alone in the marble tombs they made out of their own flesh.
beta males eat tapas with their wives.
One of the primary reasons all cops are bastards is that they fire and or kill the good cops.
You’re not supposed to say this stuff out loud, dude
"If voting were fair, we would lose" is not the point you want to be making publicly, man. That's not a rallying cry that's a self-own.
- if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost

- fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism
- now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning
