There is an evident fascistic impulse to self-infantilization as a tentpole of one's entire personality. Cut from the same cloth as those people who buy their peace of mind at Disney land. Strikes me as something that can only be built on the insular luxury of the angloid world. Walling-out reality in favor of something more palatable. Something simpler. If everyone is just a big kid, then nothing really matters. It's all just a practice run. This seems to be something generated by a lot of American therapy culture, too. This kind of eternal adolescence.
i agree, and some theorists have identified a “right to comfort” as a cornerstone of contemporary white supremacist culture.
But conceptually I see a lot of other connections too.
it kind of reminds me of how the nazis conceived of “degenerate art.” to the nazis, their vision of “good” art was art that promoted the most conventional, the most nostalgic, the most kitsch, the most neoclassical, the most conservative, the most comfortable. Thus, they despised modernist art from movements such as the impressionists and the expressionists, particularly work that depicted the horrors of war (rather than an uncomplicated view of war as an honorable enterprise) such as the work of Otto Dix. Obviously there was also a blunt, vulgar motive to simply discriminate against Jewish artists and anyone who was “influenced by Jewish or non-Aryan ideals” but there was also a formal artistic basis as well.
one could even say that the nazi party censored and burned avant-garde art as a grotesque act of “self-care.” I think there are conceptual echoes of that in every “why i left the left” thonkpiece. Or in the contemporary appropriation by reactionary white people of the term “Black Fatigue,” wherein racist white people complain they are “tired” of seeing and/or interacting with Black people.
Even though Walt Disney died decades ago, I think it’s still worth analyzing his idea of a completely curated amusement park that utterly immersed the guests in a cohesive pampered experience. That was, essentially, the idea that Walt was attempting to achieve when he opened Disney Land in 1955, and there has not, in my opinion, really been a coherent break from that goal after he died and after the construction of subsequent Disney theme parks. Workers have described disney parks as, essentially, high-control environments for them, with extremely strict standards for their behavior, language, and appearance, and Walt Disney World in Florida has a history of relying heavily on workers from economically oppressed backgrounds such as Haitian immigrants (especially for the worst jobs like custodial positions!), and the pay and benefits were always pretty bad.
But all of those very real issues with the working conditions are concealed to park visitors, so as not to break the illusion, the “disney magic.”
An aside about Walt: While Walt Disney was “technically” not a fascist, he was in fact still a political reactionary (especially later in his life) who, in 1941, took out a magazine ad deriding his employees at his animation studio as communists (or at the very least part of a “communist plot”) when they went on strike. In 1947 he went on to give names of animators and labor organizers to HUAC, a clear antagonistic act against ‘uppity’ workers. (Funnily enough, Salvador Dali, whose own work was derided by the Nazis and who fled to america until after the war, became friends with Walt Disney, collaborating on an animated film that remained unfinished until long after both of them were dead. Both of them tilted rightward politically over time and Dali ended up a supporter of fucking Franco and had even been expelled from his own art movement for his right wing politics in the 1930s.)
"what about the deserts in america? can we borrow the wild west aesthetic?" I need you to ask yourself where the term "wild west" came from and what exactly needed to be "tamed" about it. I need you to think about it really really hard
The occupation has announced that it will annihilate Gaza City – and they have been murdering the journalists who are bringing the truth to us...
People do not want to leave Gaza City, as they are starving, weakened, and know that once they leave they will never return – and they do not have a safe passage to the 'safe zones'.
People will be bombed and sniped either way... 123 people were killed within 24 hours, the death tolls are only increasing, the bombardments are ramping up – so global pressure and support must ramp up..
Very little food is being sold at exhorbant prices. The trickle of aid getting in is not enough – the airdrops that western and regional countries boast about are humiliating, they have killed people, and are filled with sand and mould...
Aid seekers have been shot, trampled, tear gassed... did you know that 1,600+ aid seekers have been killed in Gaza? They came with empty bullets, and got bullets instead... people have been kidnapped at these sites and held in detention... this isn't aid – its slaughter.
The trucks that are getting in get looted, and fave heavy constraints from the occupation. Our donations are helping people get food, and they are helping people not have to risk their lives...
Without a doubt, your donations are crucial, and a lack of donations can sent people to their deaths...
Hello
If you can afford to buy a cup of coffee, you can afford to help Mohammed Youssef ( @mokahaed ) and his family... he has five children – and they have been subjected to genocide and torture that no child should ever have to face... ever.
They are verified, number 88 on the @/gazavetters list ... and also verified here.
The last donation was 44 minutes ago as I write this.
"After our homes were completely destroyed, displacement number 14 has now been made from Al-Tuffah neighborhood in northern Gaza. My family of 27 and I do not own anything due to the sudden flight from the area. We do not even have the most basic necessities of life. No food, no clothing, no drink. I was not even able to bring a tent due to the urgent evacuation request from the area."
White queer adopting nonhuman identity to absolve themselves of their whiteness. Using anthropomorphism, therianism, kink, and goblin/creature aesthetics to say “I dont understand human concepts of race, I am not human”
Ding ding ding!!!! They also use the purity of nonhumans to infantilize themselves because dogs don’t have to be cognizant of the way white supremacy and anti-Blackness informs their actions and trash goblins don’t have to consider how their all white friend groups perpetuate the same forces
I would love to share this with everyone who may happen to see this post. Please support this wonderful human being. He spent nearly a half century in prison for a crime he never committed. And the only thing that kept him going was his artistic endeavors. He deserves the best life can offer anyone ❤️
Its weird how you get more disabled over time. Like, most people i know with a disability actually have like eight disabilities and a lot of them slowed up later as a result of compensating for the earlier ones. This brought to you by me filling out a demographics form and wondering when i got to the point of checking that many damn boxes
“You get used to it” true but misleading because someday your back problems are gonna inexplicably cause stomach problems. And then you get used to the stomach problems but your thumbs start hurting because you had to do so much work on your phone lying in weird positions while waiting for the stomach problems to go away. And there are way more distractions on your phone too so while you always had adhd this just makes it more annoying/prevalent-
Anyway hi disabled people with one million conditions i love you and i hope youre having a good day with minimal pain/inconvenience
Hello fellow OCD-ers, here is a caution warning for you guys, if you see this post going around:
DO NOT take the plural diagnosis test in it.
If it helps, maybe block OP of the post so you don't get the urge to do so at all. I know its hard, but giving in to "but do I have X" "am I y" obsessive thoughts and compulsively checking for proof like this so you can reassure yourself in one way or another, will only leave you feeling worse in the end. I know because I have been there, I am still there sometimes, and I have seen other friends and family with OCD struggle with this.
I know its not ideal for everyone but to avoid worsening obsessive symptoms, whenever you think you could have something, or not have something, its best to check in with a professional :[ if that's not attainable for you talk to a reliable trusted friend or family member about how you're feeling. Regardless, don't try to figure it out on your own with nothing but the internet at your disposal.
This is only being said out of concern for the other people with OCD on this website. I wish no ill will towards OP of the post I screenshotted and do not want to get into the ethics of making your own diagnostic criteria, I am begging you to not start discourse about that on this post because thats not what its about.
1000% correct. and it isn't the userbase being 70% white, it's that they act aggressively disgusted and angry if anyone even mentions blackness and black culture or that racism and white privilege exist. If you so much as insinuate that one white woman posted something racist they will relentlessly dogpile and gangstalk you. Remember that blackout day started by black tumblr desperately BEGGING white people to post/rb black people once a year. But in response, people said "no, black people aren't aesthetic enough for my theme" or "no, you're being too political and black people are too serious a subject to post" but then they would make 1000 posts about how being trans is worse than racism. and if you even mention rap or r&b or hip-hop on here people will lose their damn minds. Every black woman I used to follow was either chased off the site, caved from the constant misogynoirism and hostility, or were so ignored by their "friends" that they left.
pedophiles on here always try to hide behind the argument of censorship, particularly the idea that "uhhh why cant we talk about really serious subjects!! should we just remove anything negative from things??" and its like u guys arent making and consuming pedophilic content to have an intellectual conversation about the darkest, most horrific subject imaginable. ur doing it to get off. be so fucking for real.
"purity culture" "oh so we cant talk about any dark subjects?? we cant write about anything?? guess ur going to jail for writing about murder in that case lol!!" ur getting off on the fucking thought of kids in sexual situations. theres no "discussion", ur just getting off to it. idgaf if its "behind closed doors", thats fucked up and u cannot be shocked and frustrated that people think ur a nasty person who shouldnt be in contact with kids. "purity culture", u people love to throw a tantrum about purity culture just because a person said to u its disgusting that u make and consume content depicting children in sexual situations. ur the freak for doing it, ur not oppressed for being a piece of shit. lol.
In every child's eyes lies a story waiting for someone to write its happy ending. Your donation today is not just money; it's a child's laughter, renewed hope, and a brighter future. Join us in wiping away their tears and drawing genuine smiles on their innocent faces. Your giving makes all the difference in their lives! (Short and direct format suitable for websites

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?
And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.
If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.
also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can
