Fuck the World

18+, KVLT, Fantasy, I hate you, I love Plants and Animals. Gifs and art that provoke primal response.

"byþ oferleof æghƿylcum men,

gif he mot ðær rihtes and gerysena on

brucan on bolde bleadum oftast."

An estate is very dear to every man,

if he can enjoy there in his house

whatever is right and proper in constant prosperity.

- Old Anglo-Saxon rune poem

Hávamál, Stanza 36:

"Better a house, though a hut it be,

A man is master at home;

A pair of goats and a patched-up roof

Are better far than begging."

Hávamál, Stanza 76:

"Cattle die, kindred die,

everyman is mortal:

but the good name never dies

of one who has done well.”

"The Vampire"

Kent State University

[tiredtransgal]

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]”

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]”

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

[saurons-optometrist]

Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

What in the absolute fuck

[wuh2k]

When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…

[hekeepsmeworm]

I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked up

[jheselbraum]

I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.

When I was 21.

[beautifultoafault]

i never heard of this…… and i live in this country……… WTF 

[fuckyouformakingmedothis]

Welcome to America. If you want to learn some actual history, then research it yourself

[prismatic-bell]

I feel like it needs to be pointed out that to this day, nobody knows exactly what happened.

I don’t say that to absolve the National Guard, either. I say it because if you read about the minutes leading up to the shooting, it is extremely obvious the ONG was an absolute fucking mess. Orders were not being passed along correctly, unclear and contradictory orders were being given. At least part of what happened next was due to individual members of the Guard being agitated and on edge due to having no fucking idea what was going on or whether there was danger from armed students.

It’s important to know this because it’s important to understand what a breakdown in communication and discipline looks like on a military level, especially as we move into an era where military presence can be expected to increase at protests and demonstrations. I don’t know how different 4 May 1970 would have looked if the Guard had received clear and consistent orders. I do think it would have looked different, though. I think there’s a possibility nobody would have died. There were students who were out of order, yes (rocks can be considered lethal weapons, there’s a reason stoning to death is a thing), but not one of them deserved to pay for it with their lives.

If you’re going to protest in the face of the military, know what a breakdown looks like. It’s important.

Kent State was literally in our textbooks. That picture was literally in our textbooks. At a certain point you have to stop drawing sexy naruto or whatever and pay attention, and then when you graduate, you should probably keep learning about stuff. Like the Beslan School Massacre.

Beslan: The school hostage massacre that exposed Putin's weakness

The roots of Putinism were already evident after the massacre of 334 people in a school in Russia in 2004.

“The government doesn’t want you to know about this”

[presents literally one of the most famous college photos in all American history]

[voluptuarian]

That photo of the Kent State shooting is super famous. Most textbooks discussing the 60s include it, any deeper coverage of the 60s or the counterculture of the period discusses it, it is still frequently referenced and talked about, part of the reason the Kent State “gun girl” is in such bad taste is that she was doing all that on a campus where students had been very famously gunned down within living memory and that was brought up at the time, Crosby Stills & Nash have a goddamn song about it
