Wild to think how invested I once was in captain america. They really put something in the winter soldier (2014). you had to be there

[ceruleanheaven]

many claim theres nothing more subversive and revolutionary than starting on wednesday the third

[ceruleanheaven]

“To try to not be more interesting but be more interested” literally changed my life perspective btw

[stuckinapril]

To do things not for the sake of coming off a certain way or fitting a certain aesthetic or to grab ppl’s attention more …. But to simply do them bc you’re curious and invested and would do them regardless of whether anyone was perceiving you or not …. That is literally the point

[stuckinapril]

I’m genuinely understating how important this lesson has been for me bc we literally live in a world that’s all about aesthetics and branding and how to package urself even if you’re not even an influencer… dating tips that advise you to “focus on yourself” “take on more hobbies to have something to talk about and be interesting” like what if you just did those things bc you want to …. for the whimsy ….. bc we have one life ….. and then the rest just naturally follows . What if being interesting does not presuppose the interest. What if that sabotages it actually . What if the only actual way to be interesting and to evoke something in ppl and to capture their interest is by doing things bc you truly love them and for no other purpose

it actually makes me feel fully out of touch with consensus when people say an author is anti-war "because he said war is hell!"

please. please. do you know a single thing about Recorded Human History. "war is hell" is so, so frequently THE pro-war take, and the entire reason soldiers and officers receive social esteem for fighting. the honorable duty of undergoing The Trials Of War on behalf of your polity &/or beliefs is one of the fundamental cornerstones of masculinity in SO, SO many human cultures. what is anyone EVEN SAYING!!!

in a modern context, one could even argue that the emphasis placed on the traumatic nature of waging war, of participating in war, is part of how the participants morally absolve themselves from their participation. There is a common idea in liberalism (but not only in liberalism) that the trauma of killing one person, or ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, et cetera, is its own punishment, regardless of whether the persons killed were soldiers or civilians, whether it could even be considered right or wrong, whether it was necessary or unnecessary to kill them. Under this logic, renumeration or reconstruction for the victims is considered functionally irrelevant because of the exonerating suffering of the soldier.

In “Israel” they call this kind of narrative in media “Shooting and crying.”

This kind of apologia is/was often applied to the US military’s actions in every historical conflict, up to the present day. I have also seen American police officers use this kind of apologia when they are criticized for discrimination, murder, and various other crimes. They say “Oh, you civilians couldn’t possibly understand how hard it is to be a cop. It’s so difficult and traumatic.”

I think this idea of “exonerating trauma” is both dangerous and widespread. I’m sure there are many other examples of this type of rhetoric.
