The ultimate musical power move

Yeah, sex is cool - but have you ever nailed simultaneously singing and playing a song by a band where the vocalist and guitarist are separate?

The silent neurodivergent-conservative alliance

Dear conservatives, We are the neurodivergent. We "have" autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders and all other "excuses" you think we made up to justify our disarray.

You discredit us as "snowflakes" and a part of the "rainbow mob". We in return mock your God and your "backwards" customs.

But let's stop firing at each other for a second and realise it's been friendly fire all along. Aren't we actually advocating for all the same causes?

You criticize free market capitalism because it prioritises revenue over moral virtue. We do because it promotes assymetry of information, multiplies arbitrary standards and perpetuates an unjust hierarchy.

You criticise technology because it brings you further from God and closer to sinful pleasures. We do because we've been there and it wrecked our attention span, dopamine distribution and made small daily pleasures taste dull in comparison.

You shun gambling, alcohol and drugs as inherently immoral and personality-destructive. We do because it makes us anxious we're losing control over our bodies.

You shun prostitution as demoralization of women. We shun it as commodification of a woman's body, destruction of the customer's morale and brain reward system.

You shun poligamy as immoral and dangerous to the family. We shun it as insensitive and trauma-inducing for those for whom costs of constant deimmersion and immersion from and into relationships are simply too painful.

You promote having many children because your tradition dictates it. We promote it because we value the sustainability of the pension system and want to prevent the demographic catastrophe just as the climate disaster.

Let's shake hands over the rotten, precarious neoliberal establishment and sit down to negotiate how to bring balance again.

Feudalism transformed into capitalism the day the first master realised they can just promise their serfs that they will too become masters one day if they put in the hard work, and the serfs started working harder than under the whip alone.

(With a German accent): Have you heard the latest news about the civil unrest in the 11th district of Vienna? Nothing serious right now, but you can never know cause it's Simmering.

Idk what advice you're about to give me, but if it starts with "You should HAVE ...", I'm punching you in the face without warning.

Do you rember Gregory Braun, this dude that used fire extinguisher on Menora in Polish Seym during Hanukkah? He goth four place in recent presidential election of Poland, third got Mentzen, both are from same party, Konfederation, anty European Union, anty Globalist, anty fight climate-change, pro Russian, Far Right Party.

I hate it here man, I hate this country.

I'm with you, Anon.

Polish guy here (voted for Adrian Zandberg though, the leftist opposition candidate that looks like a gigachad btw).

This guy is a menace. To be more precise though, Braun has been kicked out of Konfederacja a few months back - officially for defying the party agreement and running for president despite Mentzen winning the pre-elections, unofficially for being a Jew-hunting violent nutjob who would scare away center-right electorate.

MAGA can f-ck right off!

Who's the WeLfArE qUeEn now, huh?

This reminds me of the hilarious fun fact mentioned by Adam Something in his video essay about white suburbs that they are too sparsely populated to effectively finance themselves. Then, federal government has to step in and bail them out with, you guessed it, tax money from densely populated black neighbourhoods that are actually sustainable.

Okay, I can’t be the only one who thought that that was pretty obviously not Donald Trump speaking.

Way too eloquent and succinct.

The same fascist mentality, though.

21stcenturyaphorist

The fact that the bait is obvious not due to severity of the statement, but rather because Hitler was much more eloquent than Trump is simultaneously hilarious and disheartening.

The Left: We want to tax diamond-encrusted golden cups to finance better drinking water qua-

No disrespect to Israelis but f-ck Netanyahu and his conservative lackeys for election meddling that helped Trump get re-elected. And double f-ck all the Republican evangelicals that keep meddling in the the Middle East so they can get checks from AIPAC.

General Władysław Anders, commander of Polish Armed Forces In The East, looking down on Earth seeing that the Jewish soldiers of his army whose desertion in Palestine he turned a blind eye on in 1942 founded a state hellbent on replicating Hitler's policies: 😬

Is there some legal aid that might help this veteran?

"Soldier boy, made of clay

Now an empty shell

Twenty-one, only son

But he served us well

Bred to kill, not to care

Do just as we say

Finished here, greetings death

He's yours to take away"

From the song "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica, written in 1986

Looks like the US project has been discontinued ...

I've heard boomers on numerous occasions say that metal songs about mental wellbeing aren't "metal" and we should go back to singing about good ol' sex, drugs and rock & roll.

Now, riddle me this:

1. Does it take balls to have sex, drugs and other edgy entertainments in an era of infinite digital abundance?

2. Does it take balls to make yourself vulnerable in front of general audience knowing they may berate you for spoiling the mood even if they deep down relate to you? Or even worse - not react to it at all?

Yeah, so I thought. Now shut up and listen to my 11-minute djenty epic about autism and screen addiction.

My most important task, as a feminist and tumblrina, is to bring Civil War memes from male dominated online spaces here so that the fujioshis can see them.
