Bust a Nut! That’s right! We finally made our pistachio ice cream Nut-Free!
Beat that meat! Our new boca burgers now taste better than ever!
Stroke a fat cock! Our lovable pet roosters are big, fluffy, and ready to be adopted!
here are my Thoughts on nazi-punching:
I am like Generally Opposed to punching people. (controversial opinions ozy, gosh.)
I am in support of violence against people who are doing violence to others. if it’s not safe to walk around as a marginalized person because Nazis (or any other group of oppressors) might beat you up and the police don’t care, then I think bashing back is ethically justified. of course you should beat up a Nazi who is currently engaged in hate crimes. uh there are probably other situations where I’d support beating up Nazis too.
reason and debate sometimes work as tactics. so does violence.
neither reasoned debate nor street violence prevented the rise of Nazism in Germany. both have worked in combating Nazism in different contexts. (as have other forms of resistance.) it is important to pick appropriate tactics for the fight you’re in.
I think right now, in an American context, physical violence against Nazis tends to make them look more badass than they actually are, to allow them to set themselves up as victims, and to make it seem like we can’t counter their actual arguments. I think reason is a good tactic for people who have the emotional energy to be able to do it. I also like the Yippie-style pie-in-the-face (or similar mockery). tactically, at this point, in the US, it is probably better to humiliate Nazis than to assault them.
please make sure when you are beating up Nazis to beat up actual Nazis and not other random people who have anti-swastika tattoos or are wearing the spanish flag or something.
Jewish people (and other victims of Nazism) have a wide variety of different opinions on the appropriate ways to deal with Nazism and it’s shitty to characterize a principled pacifist as a Nazi apologist.
You've said that SJ people sometimes say things that make you think of killing yourself, right? It's happened a lot for me. Introspection: after being exposed to feminist writing, I experience intense shame when I have thoughts that pattern match to MRA thinking. I don't want to hurt anyone, and killing myself seems like a reliable way to prevent that. There's no way for me to unintentionally hurt women when I'm dead.
it’s weird to read people on tumblr treating each others’ emotional needs as legitimate and know in the back of my head if I was to say “well my emotional need is I want a girlfriend” they’d immediately explain how that makes me thoroughly evil. like, maybe it’s better for me to just not be around?
(hugs iff wanted)
The culture wars happen at a really absurd intensity. I think I blame this on the internet. Like, before you could have had maybe three battleground issues - I don’t know, “who pays for dates” and “is flirting with the waiter misogynistic” and “do men do their fair share of chores”.
But now we have hundreds of websites running thousands of thinkpieces and so not only are all of the above Battleground Issues, so are ‘is having emotional needs in a relationship sexist’ and ‘is being distracted by women in tank tops sexist’ and ‘is caring if your partner was a sex worker terrible’ and ‘is jealousy controlling’ and ‘is talking to people in headphones terrible’ and -
- yeah, if you immerse yourself in that for too long then obviously lots of your thoughts will pattern-match to things that have been condemned for being super sexist, because you have a lot of thoughts, and somewhere on this big internet everything everywhere has been condemned for being super sexist.
This does not mean you are constantly hurting women. First off, thoughts don’t hurt anyone; secondly, women disagree about things and the fact there’s a think piece about how a behavior hurts women doesn’t even mean that that behavior harms women.
And thirdly, you are a person. You matter in your own right, not just for the things you can do for other people. Even if you are hurting people, the solution is to hang around people whose needs match yours better, or to seek out support for changing a behavior of yours that you are worried about. You should try to do right by other people, but you don’t have to be doing right by people to earn the right to live and be happy. You get those by default, you get those for free, you get those no matter what.
‘A girlfriend’ is a valid emotional need. It is a valid emotional need that might not get fulfilled, and this is unfair and sad, and people don’t like looking unfair sad things in the face so they will often trip over themselves to explain why it’s an invalid emotional need. But it’s not. People want to feel desired. People want to feel prioritized, people want to feel like they are loved and worthy of love. People want to feel connections with other people. Even if you think (and I do) that our narratives about romance and personal value are horribly unhealthy, there is not a special burden on lonely people to reject them and reconstruct better emotional needs for themselves. You want a girlfriend, and that’s an okay thing to want that you are not bad for wanting.
If you have access to resources like therapy, counseling, or medication, the level of shame and despair you are experiencing is clearly hurting you and I’d look into whether those resources can help you. Even if it seems like your problem is “I’m evil and deserve to die” or “no one will ever love me”, and it seems like therapy couldn’t possibly solve those problems, it often can give you the emotional resources and sounding board to make progress on them.
I wish you well, and I promise you that you can mess things up - a lot - and have accidentally hurtful beliefs and think silly things and still deserve a happy life with people who love you. Which is a damn good thing, because if those were reserved for people who’d never thought hurtful things, no one in the world could ever have them.
Fascists are evil and indefensible. They also killed and plan to kill an enormous number of people. Pardon us for wanting to make clear that we won't sit around and let them.
No, I do not pardon you. I will attempt to empathize with you. I will listen to where you are coming from and I will try to remember that you are behaving evilly and inexcusably because you are afraid and feel powerless, and because you believe it’s the right thing to do. I will fight to build a world in which you need not feel afraid and powerless.
But I do not pardon you. You are making the world less safe for the people you care about. You are not ‘making it clear’ that you won’t sit around and let them, your reblogs will never preserve a single life and the actions you advocate, when people actually take them, will just constitute the senseless murder of innocents.
Firstly, who are you comfortable murdering? A fifteen year old raised by white supremacist who has never met any of the people he marches around with a sign declaring he hates? I promise you, if you make it clear to that fifteen year old that you murder people like him then he will never make friends outside the hateful poison bubble he grew up in. More than that, he’s been taught that the outside world is as hateful as his world, and proving him right will just dig him in. When people like this have grown up into decent people, it has been because people reached out to them with compassion, said to them ‘these are our values, and this is why we believe in them, and our values guide us to do right by you when we can’. I do not personally have the emotional energy to do this with fascists, but I am very deeply committed to creating space for the people who do. And saying to these children ‘yes we do literally want to murder you just like your parents taught you’ guarantees you that no one will ever change.
Secondly, maybe you’re thinking ‘no, I am not actually comfortable murdering a fifteen year old’. Congratulations. You are not the one who will be choosing that. You, of course, have never murdered anyone at all, and never will, you just reblog self-aggrandizing posts about baseball bats and express approval of other people who take those posts seriously. You shout ‘murder of fascists is right and necessary and the only way to stop them from killing everyone!’ and then you cross your fingers that the actual murderers share your definition of fascists. They won’t. They will draw encouragement from your messages, you will feed their paranoia, but they will not conveniently target only the people you think deserve it.
Is every Trump supporter a ‘fascist’? Are you identifying them by their bumper stickers? (What if a woman was borrowing her mother’s car because hers broke down and she couldn’t miss work? A crime for which the just penalty is murder, no doubt.) What if you read on the internet that someone was a fascist (it’s impossible, of course, for people to spread lies about others on the internet, and unimaginable that anyone would do that to take advantage of a vigilante army of self-righteous antifas.)
Thirdly, I said earlier that I understand that you are afraid and feel powerless, and that people are horrible to each other when they are afraid and feel powerless. That applies to your enemies, too. The likeliest effect of a sudden rise in random clubbings of unarmed people on the streets is that people will start carrying guns, and then people who go out on the streets with a baseball bat will get shot in self-defense - not by fascists, but by people who are terrified they or their loved ones might get mistaken for fascists.
You will never, ever, protect innocent lives by murdering unarmed people in the streets. You will only ever provoke escalation and retaliation. You seem to think that if your enemies feel afraid and powerless, then the world will be safer, but you are catastrophically and horribly wrong, because afraid and powerless people are far more dangerous than people who are secure in their ability to walk to the grocery store without getting their head caved in.
Fourthly, when there is a socially acceptable excuse to casually murder people guess who will take it? People with no principles at all who just kind of want to murder someone. How many people would kill their ex or their boss who they hated or that asshole who stole their boyfriend, if they could claim ‘yeah, I was killing fascists, they were a fascist’ and get not only the condonation but the gleeful applause of their community?
(I’ll give you a hint. It’s more people than there are fascists, in the whole world.)
So no, I do not pardon you. If you had any power you would be causing the very catastrophe you are so afraid of, and you are enabling murderers, and you are wrong and you are doing evil and I hope that I can someday build a world in which you and everyone you care about are safe, and I hope that you can someday join me in the effort to build such a world.
Fired up. Ready to go. #inDC
Look under “appeasement”, it’s right before “Nazi Germany takes over Poland.”
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, there were plenty of people who punched Nazis in Germany. There were huge riots in which Communists and Nazis fought each other in the street. “During the month of June 1932 alone, Communist street fighting against Nazi brown-shirts left 99 dead and 125 gravely wounded.“
I’m looking through history books trying to find the part where street violence and punching Nazis stopped Hitler’s rise to power. Anybody know what page that’s on?
okay you said it better
uhh. what the fuck is happening? It’s us vs the KKK and actual literal Nazis and suddenly we get an unlikely ally in the fucking Westboro cult???? What???
this is fucking hysterical. we are living in a strange and awful time
Things like this keep making me willing to attach credence to the idea that the world ended in 2012 like the Mayan calendar said it would, and we’re in some kind of weird afterecho of the destruction.
They’re shit heads but at least they’re non partisan shitheads
a strange world we live in
The world doesn’t exist on a Good-Bad axis. Everyone is a person with their own reasons for things.
everybody who has ever been funny online is getting taken out by the fbi within the week
thank god all of us are safe then
New original 3D animated movie: Ducks. The secret life of ducks when humans aren’t looking.
Whenever ducks fly south in the winter, they’re actually flying to a big city of ducks where they talk and have jobs and have traffic lights with pictures of ducks in them and every billboard and storefront is a bird pun.
A generic duck guy is a young adult who feels inadequate because his dad is a big broker in the bread stock exchange.
He accidentally reveals the secret life of ducks to a human child, and now he must take her south with him to duck city. On the way they get into hijinks and find out about a big duck conspiracy or something.
I was thinking at first this was an actual movie
It will be if you just give me 3 years and $150,000,000
How many times would “duck” be confused between the physical action and the animal in question?
12 times for comedic effect. 1 time used ironically in a sad moment in the end of act II. And 1 time in the last act when the protagonist has to say something badass when he defeats the bad guy.
the evil guy is a goose. Geese and ducks have never gotten along, and geese are banned from Duckland™. There is also an obligatory scene because of this where police ducks have suspects lined up and the victim goes “duck…duck… duck… GOOSE.” and the goose gets arrested
If this post gets 100,000 notes, I’m gonna start writing the script.

People who say that it’s fascist in itself to “violently attack” a fascist amaze me. This guy is a leader of the alt right. He spreads misinformation and creates racial division and it’s people like him who pour gas on the flame. This is not a harmless opinion and he was not punched simply for having a different opinion, rather for leading a movement that is based on fascism and white supremacy. He can deny it all he wants, he is the same as a NAZI. You would sooner shoot the revolutionary for standing up against fascism using pacifist language while the fascist is killing your families. But free speech and private property is more important than making the world livable for everyone.
But the fascists aren’t killing anyone’s families, and they don’t even intend to start the killing until the time is right, ie when they know they can get away with it. Right now they obviously can’t get away with it, but if the left normalizes political violence, they’re obviously going to have that greenlight to start killing people that they’ve been looking for.

The first meme for 2017 should be all the old ones but wholesome
I’ll go first
What she says: I’m fine What she means: I love you so much and I want to declare it to the world but public extreme expressions of love short of marriage proposals are looked down upon or made fun of by society and I’m worried people are going to judge me but I’m content being by your side because there’s nothing I love more
you: I love you me, and intellectual: I love you unconditionally and the fact that I see myself as more intuitive does not change that at all, and, in fact, sometimes enhances my love for you

Ever since the election, there’s been a lot of talk of “don’t tell me I’m overreacting or being melodramatic”. And actually, I really get that, because about 99 times out of 100 calling someone melodramatic is a pretty dickish thing to do. If indeed we are as close to a fascist dystopia as some people sincerely believe, and especially if they or their loved ones belong to minority groups that seem particularly vulnerable, then their dramatic language in describing their feelings seems pretty reasonable and valid. And it’s good to keep in mind that when someone is feeling scared and helpless, one of the most guaranteed ways to feel even worse is for them to get the impression that others don’t understand their feelings or believe they’re invalid. It’s certainly not going to compel them to listen to what you have to say.
So no, I don’t think anyone’s being melodramatic.
On the other hand, when I see my friends going on about how our new president is basically another Hitler who clearly is bound and determined to deny all non-straight-white-male people basic human rights, is evidently gearing up to attack all forms of LGBT rights, is going to destroy the very fabric of our democracy and push it close to dictatorship, might even cause another Civil War, etc. and how many people in certain groups now have to fear for their lives… I really wish I could find a way to comfort them in some way. I want to tell them that I believe their interpretation of events is melodramatic. But I’m afraid that will be confused with the former offensive judgment and besides, my reasoning might come across as too relatively calm-sounding relative for me to have any credibility. It’s practically a cliche that people tend towards irrationally believing in whatever they find more comforting, but it’s interesting to note how hard people seem to instead resist it in certain types of situations.
