These people went from lifting chips to pulling off some action movie shit
This is the most Chaotic Neutral thing I’ve ever seen.
The teamwork is fucking outstanding.
I really, really, really, REALLY wish I could be a fly on the wall when that clerk was sat down with the cops to review the security camera footage for the first time
Every single journalist on Twitter that’s referring to right-wing protestors in Portland right now as “conservative” is both a liar and an active fascist collaborator.
Here’s Mr. Andy Ngo, who the right wing at large wants you to believe is totally innocent and unjustly persecuted, neglecting to mention that the people being attacked here are members of the openly white nationalist American Guard, who were founded by a fascist skinhead.
Andy Ngo wants you sympathize with fascists. Andy Ngo is a fascist collaborator.
Here’s Jack Posobiec, self-described “nationalist conservative,” framing the same people as victims, neglecting to mention that they are an openly white nationalist group.
Jack Posobiec wants you to sympathize with fascists. Jack Posobiec is a fascist collaborator.
Here’s Elijah Schaffer, reporter for The Blaze, framing the American Guard as the victims and neglecting to mention that they are a white nationalist group.
Elijah Schaffer wants you to sympathize with fascists. Elijah Schaffer is a fascist collaborator.
In case it were not clear enough, the Proud Boys, the primary group of right-wing protestors, are joining the overtly white nationalist American Guard in open arms.
This was specifically a fascist and white nationalist rally, and any journalist who doesn’t start their reporting with that is irresponsible at best and an active fascist collaborator at worst.
Regarding that hammer…

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.
Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.
I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.
The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:
A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.
B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.
tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.
I cant agree with this post more
I witnessed something similar with my younger brother (this was when he was In fifth grade so bear with me here) and his friends. The teacher assigned for them to build a somewhat accurate spanish mission in Minecraft because their school had gotten some iPads and she needed to assign them something other than a PowerPoint.
Now here’s the thing. Most of these boys, my brother included, have ADD/ADHD. About a week into the project all they had in their shared world was chaos. Somebody filled the place with tnt and lit it up. Holes everywhere. Whenever one would attempt to try and build something (mostly wood huts and not the actual project) it would be destroyed within minutes as the boys began to insult each other heavily and complain that the design was ugly.
I brought my own ipad with me and decided to sit with the boys while they continued their reign of terror. I joined the world and built a hallway out of brick at the very center of this war zone. Immediately one of them tried to destroy it under the impression that “it looks bad”.
“Well, what should I make it out of?”
“Diamond.”
The ten year old mind is a mystery to me…
Anyway, then I showed him some pictures similar to these:
I reasoned that it would be easier to sway this kid toward another pretty block than trying to get him to stick to the materials of the time, so I asked him if he would like to help me replace my brick design with quartz (eh, it’s white).
Bam! One of the ten year old anarchists is dutifully building me a glittering gem hallway for our insanely rich monks.
The other three are off somewhere still yelling at each other and setting off explosives, but we have something built. Much to my surprise the kid asked if he could build the church next because he “wanted to build the most important part”.
Here’s where I learned something important. I don’t have ADD or ADHD but as I said before my brother does. When he gets fixated on something, he’s really gets into it. Once a few minutes had passed and this kid already had four walls up I decided to grid up the entire mission. One gets the church, one gets the farm, etc.
After playing the game with them for an hour, I had a pretty good idea of where each kid should go.
Church kid, I found, was very particular about materials and shape(hence his hangup over the brick). I gave him free reign over the outer walls of the mission and showed him the reference pictures to get him started.
My brother liked the farms most (he was building dirt domes over the cows don’t ask me how I made this connection it just worked, okay), so he was in charge of building pens for the animals.
Another kid was, at first glance, very loud and bossy when it came to decorating (constantly said we were making chairs wrong). Turns out he likes interior design, like putting benches and beds in the little rooms, so his bossiness was just frustration with my brother’s artistic sense I guess.
Another was very good with placing trees and plants around the exterior (I guessed this because he covered the place in a ridiculous amount of trees and I asked him if he would like to know where they are supposed to go). He got to make a vineyard for us and organized how the crops should go.
So how did it turn out?
Actually very nice!!
So what did we learn? Kids actually like to play games and be praised for their creativity and intuition. If I had just told them to stop messing around rather than direct their attention to areas within their interests, they never would have gotten anything done.
After an hour of gaming they:
Mirrored my language; “thank you!”, “which part are you working on?”, “I like this block.”
Realized each other’s strengths; “hey [kid name] can you help me with the roof?” “How do you make the big trees [kid name]?”
Were able to articulate exactly what they did or didn’t like without using force; “that looks good!”, “how about we put it there?”, “I don’t like that block, how about this one?”
On the plus side, since we moved the game file to my device for safekeeping, I now have a cute little souvenir of the time I played Minecraft with four ten year olds.
This is a really long post, but it’s super important. In games like Fortnite where you’ll find lots of kids, it’s important (if you can) to steer them away from toxicity. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into kids who talk like toxic adults and the act of just being nice to them completely turns them around.
This isn’t limited to games, by far. When younger kids are exposed to snide, aggressive older people in any capacity their instinctive response is to adapt that behavior to seem cool and adult and avoid being a target. Maybe you’re not even an asshole and you just play around with your friends by ironically insulting them, but kids don’t really know the difference. They don’t have that context. And they can continue to develop thinking this is just the way you’re supposed to act and that any sensitivity or vulnerability is something to be laughed at. I experienced this as a 13 year old on 90′s webforums and I didn’t break out of a non-stop snarky rude mode until like 22.

The next time I see one of those “millenials will be photographing the end of the world” posts I’m gonna scream because let me tell you, I just went through a natural disaster and Snapchat literally saved people’s lives. Thanks to snapchat I knew exactly what roads were flooded, what stores were open, what my HOUSE looked like (since I wasn’t there), and which shelters I could go to. People were snapping/tweeting asking to be rescued and THEY WERE. I didn’t get my news from the tv, I saw it in real time on social media and I will never not be grateful for that.
Millennials will survive the end of the world because we photographed it.
Also like… yeah no shit we’ll be taking pictures of the end of the world, why do old people say that like its a bad thing? It’s called documenting, and people have literally always done it. When the Titanic sank, people were sketching it from the lifeboats. When Mount St. Helens erupted, a photographer named Robert Lansburg realized he was too close to possibly escape, so he took pictures until the last possible second, put his camera in his bag, then sheltered it with his body. The film was undamaged, and his pictures were groundbreaking contributions to geology, because obviously nobody had ever witnessed a volcanic eruption that close. The only reason any footage exists of the first plane hitting the world trade center on 9/11 is pure luck; a group of students were filming a documentary, and thought a plane flying into the city was interesting enough to film. If they hadn’t been outside at that moment, with the camera rolling, on a street with a clear view of the towers, there would be no visual record of the first plane.
Yeah. People document major events. It’s kind of what we do. That’s not a bad thing.
they just don’t like phones
They just dont like millenials.
hey so uhhh here’s an important update on what’s apparently happening at the border, especially with the use of the old japanese internment camps
all i can say is i’m sickened by this mess, by the atrocities committed against innocent people. and now there will be no surveillance. no one will be able to see what happens to these people. the UN, the media, and any other human rights organizations cannot get into these facilities, either, in order to stop what’s happening. by the way, coast guard members were apparently aiding in this process as well. so now it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a military movement.
no one gets in. no one gets out.
so when are we going to call this what it is? it’s fascism. it’s genocide. and if we don’t stop it now, it’s going to be disastrous.
contact your senators, your representatives, anyone that’s in office that can get off their lazy ass and do something.
can y’all please reblog this i’m begging
give him some!!
Carrying £200 in twenties is illegal now I guess
Found some pleb out on patrol that had too much money so we knicked it 😎

uwu but the UK is so much better than the US they don’t have the same problems as us remember
what on earth
please if you do anything useful in your life, don’t scroll past this
watch it
PLEASE
tchaikovsky is proud
In case anyone is baffled by this, there’s a Tchaikovsky piece in which there’s supposed to be a loud sound but he never specified what you should use to make that sound. People have done all kinds of weird shit depending on how they think the sound should, well, sound. Hitting a large piece of wood with a sledgehammer is a relatively conventional one.
When we talk about colonization and genocide in the Americas, we are often met with the same statement:
“This happened hundreds of years ago, get over it”.
Sure, it started centuries ago. But it didn’t end hundreds of years ago, or one hundred, or even 50.
When we talk about these issues, we don’t just mean small pox-infected blankets, or forced migration. We don’t just mean settlements, bounties on our heads, the physical attacks on our villages. We don’t just mean the residential schools, or the laws that banned our traditional languages and practices.
We mean:
- The Sixties Scoop, when Indigenous children were ripped from their communities to be placed with white families.
- Residential schools, the last of which only closed in 1996, where children were forced to give up their languages, culture, identity, and were abused horribly.
- The Millennium Scoop. The child welfare system in Canada is still ripping children from Indigenous communities. Despite only making up about 8% of the age demographic, Indigenous youths under 14 account for more than half of the foster system. (x)
- 80% of reserves in Canada have median incomes that fall below the poverty line (x)
- A vast number of reserves in Canada do not have clean drinking water (x)
- Indigenous rights and land titles are routinely ignored in order to create pipelines and sell off resources. (x)
- According to Indigenous women’s groups, there are approximately 4,000 cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. The RCMP only acknowledge about 1200 of these. (x)
- “Between 1997 and 2000, the homicide rate for Indigenous women was nearly seven times higher than the rate for non-Indigenous women.” (x)
- A man literally confessed to the murder of Tina Fontaine, a 15 year old Indigenous girl, and he was acquitted. (x)
- Colten Boushie, a Cree man, was shot multiple times by a Saskatchewan farmer. A jury featuring no Indigenous people declared his murderer not guilty. (x)
- The Starlight Tours. Saskatoon Police routinely took intoxicated Indigenous men outside of the city in sub-zero temperatures and left them to find their way back. Several froze to death. The Saskatoon Police were caught deleting the article about this from Wikipedia. (x)
- Suicide and self injury are the leading cause of death for Indigenous men under 44. In addition, the rate of suicide in Indigenous women is seven times higher than that of non-Indigenous women, and the rate of suicide among Indigenous men is 5.25 times higher than that of non-Indigenous men. Suicide rates for Inuit youth are among the highest in the world, at 11 times the national average. (x) In certain communities, like Attawapiskat, suicides reach epidemic levels. (x)
These are just a few of the many legacies of colonization that impact us today.
This is colonialism. This is genocide.
It never stopped.
(please add more to this list)
Update:
- Starlight Tours have been recorded in Calgary as recently as mid-October 2018. Facebook posts about it have been vanishing from accounts soon after reposting.
Also: Indigenous women have come forward with their experiences of forced sterilization. Not just 50 years ago but 2017. And not just one or two. There are 60 women part of a recent class action lawsuit against Saskatoon’s Health Region.
Another update for those not following recent events:
- The Canadian government and RCMP carried out a heavily militarized attack on Wet’suwet’en people defending their unceded territory from an illegal pipeline this week.
This is land that does not belong to the goverment. It is land that according to the government’s own laws, and more importantly Wet’suwet’en laws, can’t be taken by Canada.
This is colonization in action.
None of the comments on the right work anyway. EVER.

what exactly makes america the “best country” here? america doesn’t excel in anything.
I was gonna say aren’t we like #1 in a bunch of bad stats? Like aren’t we the top for rape and abuse?
we are superior in waging wars, exporting and using firearms, and incarcerating the population among a lot of other terrible things. how depressing is patriotism and nationalism?
I remember this epic moment from The Newsroom
Americans just buy into the propaganda they are the greatest country when there is absolutely zero evidence to say so.
I reblog this post every chance I get.
bringing this one back
When I went to see Tangled with my family, I was terrified of having to talk about the movie afterwards because I related so much to Rapunzel, and I was sure my mom would hate the movie because it was so obvious that she was exactly like mother gothel. So when mom asked me afterwards if I liked it I gave a tepid non-answer. But then my mom started talking about how she loved the movie! And it slowly dawned on me that she also saw mother gothel as evil and abusive, but somehow didn’t make the connection that she and her were the same. My mom even made a comment to the effect of how, like rapunzel’s real mom, her love for me would always triumph or whatever. And she didn’t get it!
She didn’t see the similarities of how she locked me away in the house, or how she kept me under the tightest supervision under the guise of keeping me safe. I spent the entire mother knows best song stealing glances at her next to me in the theater just waiting for her to drag us out of the movie because she couldn’t stand to have her “love” portrayed as evil. And she didn’t see how the fact that she created her identity completely around being a mother and nothing else was like mother gothel’s dependency on rapunzel’s magic hair.
It was only after seeing her positive reaction to the movie, that I really understood the meaning of the phrase “everyone is the hero of their own story”. No one actually thinks they’re the villain, even if confronted with a painfully obvious rendering of their own actions done by someone they agree is rightly portrayed as evil.

the World Wildlife Fund is apparently a paramilitary outfit now
Don’t know why people in the comments seem amused by this because this is such a horrific example of how environmentalism can be used for fascist ends
This is also what happens when people refuse to listen to Africans about their white savior complex. When people mindlessly find and support conservation that involves almost no local input, harms people, and takes away land and resources from communities to give to animals, thisnis the logical conclusion
A California man who built a business out of recycling electronic waste is headed to prison for 15 months after a federal appeals court rejected his claim that the “restore discs” he made to extend computers’ lives had no financial value, instead ruling that he'd infringed Microsoft products.
yall really need to read this
link to tweet - link to Eric Lundgren’s twitter account
It’s incredibly fucked that this person is literally getting imprisoned for fucking recycling.
Like Microsoft’s actual case is “we lose money because without him people would have thrown their old computer away and bought a new one from us” but they realise that sounds bad in this here age of climate change and because reasonable human beings feel like “hey e-waste is a huge problem and we have to find ways to reduce e-waste, including helping people extend the life of the devices they have” so they bullshitted in court and since no one in the room understands a fuck about computers they believed those restore discs actually had value as objects -_-

#i can’t imagine all the black actresses #who were token characters in the 90s #sucking it up thinking it’ll pay off one day #end up realizing it never did and never will #because they were never climbing a ladder #they were holding it (via @katielittlekinrit)
Not surprised, they add us as tokens then gatekeeper like fuck. Legit remember talking to another goth(white) girl (at the time) when I was 15 and she seriusly didntn remember there being a black girl in the craft. She just couldnt fucking recall. When I pointed her out on the poster she was like “ well yeah,I mean,but like…shes not like..IN the group,like shes not …imp..I mean shes not like IN the movie alot..”
So only one of her costars thought it was weird that she wasn’t included…
This one.
I’d like to point out that Fairuza is not only the ONLY one that took her side,but that Fairuza is Rromani and has been pretty much black listed for speaking out against multiple issues with hollywood(including having to do a sex scene as a child,with a very famous brit actor).
So …those other broads….
This is an important message.
I will never NOT reblog this.
