“You’re just playing the victim!”

In our society, if something traumatic or bad or negative happens to you, you get penalized for “making a big deal” out of it (ie calling it out and admitting you’ve been horribly affected by it) and you get rewarded for hushing it up and acting like it’s not a big deal.

(One of the worst accusations anyone can say to someone who’s survived something horrible is “You’re just playing the victim!” - when all you’re doing is being honest about what happened and how f*cked up you are from it.)

[indecisiveblogsblog]

If something bad happens to you, and do you feel like it needs to be shared with others either for your own help or to help others that is the correct way of handling a situation. For the most part when people say people are playing the victim, it means that they are blaming something for something that is completely unrelated. No matter what type of trauma residual scars or whatever are left from your incident, no matter what it might be, you have the responsibility to carry on and live your life. You cannot hide behind the trauma. If you need help, seek help. If you need assistance, seek assistance. but falling into what we call the victimhood mindset, means that you feel entitled two more than you actually are

The problem isn’t that “the country is divided” the problem is the increasing acceptance of fascism as a legitimate political position. Framing it as a problem of division puts those who want to kill the poor, LGBT people, and poc on equal moral footing with those who would like not to die.

[indecisiveblogsblog]

We doing anything and everything you don't agree with as fascism is interesting to say the least. Instead of trying to figure out why people are supporting what you call fascist ideas, you simply attack them physically, or give them a label and tell them they don't matter. Not the correct way to win public support. Also if you bothered to actually have a conversation with the people on the other side who aren't just screaming raving lunatics perpetuate both sides of every argument, you'd understand that we are not all just heartless. I have had conversations with people on the other side of the aisle. I've come to the conclusion that we all want the same thing we just don't agree how to get there.

I mean white Christians brought us slavery

[indecisiveblogsblog]

When adults are put through the legal system, the children are separated during processing. It is a common practice. Not just migrants. Not saying it's right or wrong I'm just saying that's how it works. Also slavery has been around way before Christianity was a thought. At one point or another every major religious group has had slaves. Believing that white Christians are solely to blame for slavery, it's complete ignorance of History dating back before 1800. The Egyptian pyramids, Rome, the entire Middle East. also I do not believe that there is a single white Christian today who actually was a part of the Civil War that in your ignorance you believe was about slavery.

Went the immigration camps were exposed to being in a terrible condition, they made actions to rectify it. America has not lost Humanity. In a way they are correct when they say they should not have broken the law. If you do so and you get caught there are consequences. There is a reason why we have border security. Believing it is not necessary, is how you are put in the position that the EU is currently in. I agree that the immigration camps were not acceptable. That does not mean that the immigration camps should be disbanded, it means that it should be fixed

You're right let's just completely get rid of one of them major sources of income for a ton of different companies and then expect that any and all profits that they've made will cover the collapsing economy if the fossil fuel industries were just completely dismantled. Sounds about right

Believing that the reasons conservatives are the way they are is because they lack empathy shows a willful ignorance as to why they are the way they are and what they believe

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with trying to change elected officials Minds, but harassment is not the way to do it. Also there are very few people who actually go out of their way to Target minorities. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but you make it sound like that just them being in public means that they are going to get harassed all the time.

Trump is an illegitimate President.

[indecisiveblogsblog]

So the head of the FBI does not follow proper protocol when it comes to an investigation. He decides to take his responsibilities lightly when it came to Hillary Clinton's emails. When this fact is revealed, it actually ends up hurting Hillary Clinton's chances by making her look more guilty. These are the actions of her allies supposedly. In what way does Trump factor into this. He had no role in what happened. He had no power over the FBI prior to the election. These are factors completely out of his control, and therefore cannot be blamed on him. Blame the bad decision those in the FBI made. Blame the bad decision that a presidential candidate made. Personal responsibility should be Central amongst politicians

[theprettynerdie]

Greg Ellis is OFFICIALLY cancelled. He says he is “drawn to” rightwing “free thinkers” such as Jordan Peterson, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk. He “supports” Donald Trump because he happens to be the current occupant of the White House. He’s decrying “trolling SJWs” who express concern with the fact that he’s expressing support for outright fascists.

[indecisiveblogsblog]

I hope to God, that you all never figure out what fascism actually is. If you think the current government in America is leaning towards fascism, you're wrong. It's actually headed more towards socialism and more power to the state as of late. The power grabbing was actually done in the period between 2001 and 2016. Also what does a voice actor have to do with fighting your so-called fascism. He says he's drawn to certain way of thinking, and he supports at least the office of presidency. He's also able to look to Trump and see a man. Which is what he is. He's not devil incarnate, he's not a hate-filled monster. He is a man. A human. with good characteristics and bad characteristics. so I'm still not understanding why this is such a big deal. So a voice actor of a popular character that the lgbtq community has latched onto doesn't believe Trump is completely vile. Tolerance is bipartisan

The right to defend yourself from a tyrannical government is a right. Access to healthcare has always been a privilege. However, wanting that privilege to extend to as many people as possible is a good thing. Demanding that it is a right does not make it so. The right to defend yourself something that cannot be taken away. However Healthcare has not always been available. It is a service, the best way for it to function, is as a service. Conservatives don't want people to die because they don't have access to it. They simply believe that other people should not decide for them what Healthcare is available

[mysharona1987]

This is the problem with the “good guy with a gun” theory.

When the cops and SWAT guys show up, no one wants to be seen holding a gun.

Because cops are often trigger happy and won’t allow you time to explain. The (concealed carrier) veteran at the Oregon shooting said he didn’t get involved for that very reason. 

[indecisiveblogsblog]

This is not a second amendment problem. This is a police incompetence problem. Also a very serious issue that needs to be discussed

[berniesrevolution]

The largest donations to the [Congressional Black Caucus] Foundation, its nonprofit wing, have come from the likes of Walmart and McDonald’s. The foundation has also accepted up to $2 million from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), even while ALEC was spearheading voter-identification laws aimed at suppressing the Black vote.

From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation, Keeanga Yamhatta Taylor (via berniesrevolution)

Requiring Id to vote is not racist. Its making sure you are eligible to vote. In order for it to be racist it would have to be only making black people or Asian people or white people show their ID. Its simply a way to check for eligibility. Nothing more. There are actual social issues that need to be addressed in the black community. This ain't one of them

Commentary: Trump’s Infrastructure Plan Is an All-Out Assault on the Environment

It's a win for developers—and a loss for virtually everyone else.

Seems politicians ignoring environmental issues is a trend now.

[indecisiveblogsblog]

Uhm.. No. I don't like the idea of massive government spending to begin with. So the proposed infrastructure bill is not sitting well. the idea that states are obligated to pay most of it is... Barely acceptable. However. Its not a direct assault to the enviorment. Its simply reducing the amount of beaucracy it takes to get a project completed. The regulations are still going to be kept in place. The plan is a reformation of the beaucracy. Not of policy

[frontpagewoman]

Yup

[indecisiveblogsblog]

How about electing someone for their experience, knowledge, skills, and merit instead of sex.... You know, the idea called equality

sure, when my grandfather fought nazis and fascism he was “a hero” and “on the right side of history” but when i do it im “way too sensitive” and “no better than they are”

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

That’s because when our white grandparents fought Nazis, it was for fear of them taking power away from other white people.

White Europeans and Americans were explicitly fine with genocide and the ideologies that led to it – a great many people, including Churchill, vocally supported most of what the Nazis were doing. Their only fight with Nazis was to maintain sovereignty from takeover.

Today’s Nazi-fighters usually have a problem with white supremacy and the antisemitism and racism etc behind it – which most of our white grandparents didn’t see a problem with and neither do many white people today.

This is why so many people don’t see any reason to stop the Nazis now, or why many others think it’s purely a struggle for Democrats or other neoliberal parties in other countries who might lose political power if they gain traction. Many people don’t see Nazis as a real problem unless they threaten the political power of other white people.

White supremacist organizations and movements have been a life-threatening scourge for people of colour and Jewish people this entire time. It’s really important that we focus on that as the real threat, or we risk having the same myopic perspective as generations past.

[mephystophyles]

This was a great addition to my original post so I’m reblogging it.

[indecisiveblogsblog]

"Many people don't see Nazis as a real problem" "Maintaining white supremacy"

The groups that actually WANT white supremacy are very very very few. The reason people don't think they have to stop the Nazis is because they are technically just expressing an ideology. They are not physically harming anyone. And those that do are met with immediate legal response. "Fighting facism" is not silencing a political ideology. Its exposing it and condemning it and voicing disagreenent. Using facist tactics of silencing opposition is not how you fight facism. When someone is drowning you don't push them deeper into the water

[republicansareahategroup]

Trump’s latest tweets literally express the desire for a single party system and if that doesn’t scare you at this point you’re dumb.

[republicansareahategroup]

This didn’t get traction and I haven’t seen any media opeds or anything on it honestly? The dude straight up said he wishes he could completely circumvent having to have democratic votes, and therefore we need an even stronger Republican majority in the legislature and like… Why isn’t this a red flag to more people?

[ouroboroswatching]

Which Tweets were these? Because I see nothing of the sort, unless I’m missing something. Could you narrow it down?

If this is, by any chance, a reference to the Fox interview, please read the full context of the interview here.

Dems :completely shut out and over take as many positions as you can in the house and senate this election cycle so that Trump can't do anyrhin

Trump : its annoying that we have to constantly fight the democrats and seriously mess up our budget to appease them. I wish we had more republicans in office

Democrats: omg he is trying to silence the opposition! This is EVIL
