Too Frustrated to Care

This is my blog. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Don't expect much of me and you'll come to like it. If you ever want to talk, just send me an ask and I'll answer it when I can.

[commando-rogers]

me, who doesn’t watch supernatural, who hasn’t checked the polls recently, who hadn’t seen anything about Putin:

[cuntess-carmilla]

Speaking as someone who lives in the global south, having seen Biden promising that he’ll basically be much more effective at perpetuating US imperialism than inept, lazy Trump + considering everything that happened while he was Obama’s vice-president, Biden actually terrifies me even more than Trump does, especially with what happened in Bolivia last year. 😂🔫

[cuntess-carmilla]

I mean, shit. My country is in the process of getting a new constitution that we hope will get rid of the violent neoliberalism that the US installed here using us as guinea pigs for their little economic experiment.

What if whatever we end up with doesn’t make the US all too happy? Are we gonna get couped again? Are they gonna help Piñera crush the constitutional process or some shit? Are we gonna get sanctioned?

Seeing that apparently US military (? or whatever) leaders aren’t happy with Trump because the dude is such a pissbaby that he gets bored by that talk, makes me think maybe the reason why it was possible for the coup in Bolivia to be overturned in such a short time (besides of course the tremendous active resistance and sacrifice by Indigenous and working class Bolivians), and why the variety of attempts in Venezuela recently failed, is because Trump’s an inept lazy dumbass.

What if Biden truly changes that? The global south is FUCKED fucked in that case.

[cuntess-carmilla]

The American exceptionalism of some of you guys’ commentary in the tags really is impressive. There’s legit someone (Who isn’t even American apparently??? How’s the taste of that boot?) saying that we can’t expect Americans to care about the rest of the world during elections. Uh… Yes we can and they SHOULD care because it’s THEIR country fucking us up and we don’t do the same back to them (because we can’t).

Also to read this and keep saying “Biden is still better for the US but he’ll be bad for the rest of the world so once we vote him into the White House we have to hold him accountable 🤪”…

Bitch, first of all, no he’s not better for the US. He’s already fucked Black communities before. Remember the 1994 crime bill? Remember that he was vice-president during Ferguson? He has Kamala “Top Cop, Hates Trans Women and Sex Workers” Harris as his vice-president hopeful, too.

And even if he was better, why are American lives more important to you than ours? Because that’s what you feel and think if you believe we can be relegated to an after-thought when it comes to your presidential elections. We’re people too, you know?

[cuntess-carmilla]

May I ask, what does “holding Biden accountable” mean? What would you guys do to hold the one who would literally be the most powerful man in the world “accountable”?

Are you gonna strategically sabotage his government via direct action? You know, like shutting down shit, impeding vital material government resources from reaching their destinations…

Are you gonna riot? But like, REALLY riot. Not holding candlelight vigils of 20 minutes with sassy signs referencing some fandom shit while ~condemning~ Black protesters who’re being a little rude to the police.

Are you gonna take him to court but in a context in which he ACTUALLY would have something to fear rather than getting a slap on the wrist for being a Bad Boy >:( and maybe hurting his feelings?

Are you gonna threaten his safety in some way? Are you gonna blow up some shit? No?

Be real, none of you guys are gonna do shit for us if and WHEN he starts fulfilling his promises on this. The most some of you will do is make some “smart” Twitter threads or write lackluster think pieces behind a paywall or in a blog nobody reads and you’ll feel like you’re saving the world by declaring president Biden is being kinda mean to those poor savages… :/ Oh well, time for brunch! At least he’s being PC while killing those barely human creatures in the global south.

Don’t make me laugh. A Bug’s Life has more radical politics than most of you. Shut the fuck up about ~holding him accountable~. You know you won’t.

Found this far funnier than I should have

[siriusly-justreblogs]

someone please tell me if this is actually in accordance with how you spell irish stuff

[ailichi-deactivated20230730]

I appreciate your curiosity!! This is exactly how we’d Gaelicise English names.

The J in Jason becoming an S is based on the model of Seán being the Irish version of John, and of Séamus being the Irish version of James. Séason would be pronounced Shay-son.

T is pronounced very softly in Irish, and when it’s followed by an E, it becomes a CH sound. The EA diphtong in Tead is pronounced as ‘ah’. So Tead would be pronounced as Chad, exactly the same.

As above, the EA is pronounced ‘ah’ and the combination GH is silent in Irish, so Hearraigh would be pronounced as Harry is in English, despite the initially alarming length.

Darach is already an Irish name, meaning ‘like an oak,’ and it’s usually Anglicised as Dara or Darragh (pronounced identically to each other), so suggesting Dairech = Derek is just extra funny.

I don’t think I’ll actually be able to scrub Ailfiagh out of my mind. It sounds too Irish, to the point that it’s replaced Alfie as the default spelling for me.

In short, We Need to Talk about Caoimhín (Kwee-veen) is a genius.

“that’s just the way the world works” it literally doesn’t have to be but okay

[ironinkpen]

if anyone ever tells you “humans are just selfish / life is cruel / that’s just how the world is, get over it” be critical of them bc there’s a 75% chance they’re just using that as an excuse for their own shitty behavior so that they don’t have to put an effort into being better, kinder people

“The closer rebel characters come to a definable ideology, the more likely they are to be written as villains. At the same time, the emotive aspects of rebellion - the heroism of the underdog, the thrill of fighting the power - are rendered safe for public consumption by taking out any explicit political ideology. … The effect of all this is to suggest that violence is somehow more sympathetic the less its perpetrators believe - that heroism decreases the more detailed your policy proposals get. If Luke Skywalker was fighting for galactic communism, or Daenerys intended to create a series of peasants’ councils to govern Westeros, or Harry Potter wanted to smash the Ministry of Magic and overturn wizard supremacy, we would have to confront serious and difficult questions about when political violence is appropriate, for whose benefit, and for what purposes. I don’t believe those are questions pop culture is incapable of asking. They are questions we do not want to ask.”

— Alister MacQuarrie, Outlaw Kings and Rebellion Chic (via secularbakedgoods)

[anarchopuppy]

Even in Les Miserables, a fictional retelling of a very real historical event involving people who were very vocally and explicitly communist, their ideology needs to be watered down to vague and non-threatening calls for “freedom” or “equality” to be palatable to audiences (even while they wave literal red flags). And it’s a big help that so many people just assume that it’s about the French Revolution

[somethingaboutsomethingelse]

It may be cliche to say this, but mass media serves to profit off of and maintain the status quo. It behooves capitalists, statists, and other power holders to smooth over ideological quandaries and rebellious elements in order to control the cultural narrative that the current civilizational organism is the most righteous and effective means of existence.
