the end of an era

26 thousand posts, thereabouts

it's been a good night

[glorydevice]

Lol… Bob Marley can be really sarcastic sometimes, watch the exclusive full interview here.

LOL

… “I’d really like to partake in all the good parts of your culture but I really don’t want any of the burdens that come with it….”

[blasianxbri]

lmao “you better be black if you have a choice”

[nolaspalding]

Let me let you in a lil summin…Bob Marley wasn’t here for white people

[abravebird-deactivated20231115]

that’s what kills me about whites who fetishize him and Rastafarianism… Rastafarianism is in opposition to white supremacy and imperialism. Nesta was about that life.

[princeofthots-deactivated201705]

Ok but arent there A LOT of fucked up things about Rastafarianism because of its veneration of a genocidal Ethiopian dictator??????????????????????????

[zuky]

Ok I’m not gonna get too deep here but can I just say there are A LOT of fucked up things about every philosophy, religion, system of thought, lived practice, and way of being; because there are a lot of fucked up things about the human beings who practice these things.

Maybe you think it’s fucked up to venerate Haile Selassie; but somebody else thinks it’s fucked up to pray to a naked bloody man nailed to a cross; and somebody else thinks it’s fucked up to be a nihilistic hipster walking around making silly faces and holding down the question mark key. 

[princeofthots-deactivated201705]

ok im sorry but there’s something strikingly wrong about your line of reasoning here like,

i wasnt really talking about what is philosophically wrong with certain religions or whatever. I couldnt care the fuck less.. jesus christ possibly didnt even exist but haile selaisse sure as hell did and while he was alive(not that long ago btw) he was a brutal dictator over Ethiopians and Eritreans(gee, arent they black people too?!). Please do not reduce this to a matter of opinions and personal vices; it is FUCKED UP to venerate a genocidal dictator PERIOD. What doubles the offense with Rastafarianism is that it’s presented to be something pro-black/radical/anti-imperialist/whatever and last time i checked, nothing screams reactionary hypocrisy more than claiming to be pro-black but praising one of Africa’s many ruthless dictators. 

like did you not read the part in my first post where i said “genocidal” meaning he killed his own people? who are black? and rastafaris claim to pro black but they celebrating a guy who killed and/or terrorized a lot of black people?  excuse me if im simplifying but i dont know why you completely missed the point i was trying to make and started talking about jesus christ and nihilism like i give a flying fuck about all of tht.

"one of Africa’s many ruthless dictators" he was the last reigning member of the 1000-year-old Solomonic dynasty, come onnnn

[maganayakare]

"When Selasse annexed Eritrea, he ordered the arrest of newspaper editors, exiled nationalist leaders, banned trade unions and forbade the use of Eritrean native languages in schools and in official transaction. Equally he transferred Asmara-based industries to Addis Ababa. The idea was to make Eritrean workers move to Ethiopia and to depopulate Eritrea in order to turn it into a military base. Moreover, when Ethiopian troops were surrounding the Assembly and jets were flying over Asmara, the Eritrean parliament was forced into the humiliation of having to vote for its own dissolution.

Eritrea voted strongly and demanded UN mediation but got the reply: “Your request must first be referred to the federal government”, i.e., to Haile Selasse himself! In other words, the Ethiopian regime had the blessing of the imperialist powers, and in particular of US imperialism which dominated the UN. Emperor Selasse was supported everywhere and took advantage of this to give himself a good image, that of being the father of the African continent. Nobody opposed him – which was a grave misfortune for the Eritreans.”

Read more here and educate yourself please.

I didn't contest the appalling nature of his actions! I know about Eritrea, thanks I just didn't enjoy him being put on the same level as Amin or Mobutu or Banda? you wouldn't call a European monarch (even someone who did horrific things like Leopold II) a "brutal dictator", so

I'm still waiting for that "happy birthday" email from Tumblr, they still do those, right

[glorydevice]

A new morning.

This officially marks the three-year anniversary of this blog (but I deleted the 10 or so posts I made in 2011; I swear it isn't a significant loss at all).

This is going to be my pretentious think piece on the whole thing; I'll put a more condensed version in the queue.

It's been a very tumultuous three years, and as you might expect, it feels like a lot longer. This blog has seen me pass through three fandoms, half a dozen self-diagnosed disorders, and a staggering mass of embarrassment, vitriol, frustration, and other words like that.

Even before the thought of reestablishing my Tumblr presence occurred to me I enjoyed looking through my archive from time to time. It's especially fascinating to see how little time has to pass for a post to seem alien to me. With this in mind, I will keep this around as a piece of juvenilia. Not that I want to imply that I'm an adult now. My new blog will be just as embarrassing in new, exciting ways, and I'll probably need a new one in 2017.

Nonetheless, I will attempt to minimize some known causes of embarrassment. There's going to be, like, a vent blog! Hey.

I initially conceived this plan to remake as a form of purging in mid-October, when my success on Tumblr was steadily diminishing in proportion to my shrinking circle of acquaintances. I wanted to start fresh, this entity clearly having reached stagnation.

The situation has improved drastically in the past weeks, and I am now in fact at my highest follower count ever (a stunning 233!) and have met many excellent people who I look forward to talking to more.

This might persuade weaker spirits not to remake! But as anyone will tell you, you should always quit at the top of your game.

But I'm not quitting.
