I don’t even want to know how big the bag of my insecurities would be

[robotlyra]

Don’t confuse my hatred of the hyperwealthy for jealousy over what they have. I don’t want a six figure sports car, or a 40 room mansion, or a gold leaf truffle wagyu steak dinner. I want redistribution of wealth that allows for infrastructural support of all citizens’ basic survival needs.

military worship in this country is out of fucking control

military worship in this country is out of fucking control 

[high-shawty-deactivated20180326]

Yea you’re right, we shouldn’t honor the people willing to risk their life to save ours and defend our country … oh

[evilrashida]

Military worship in this country is out of fucking control

[cadimonsignal]

I’m in the military and yes it’s out of fucking control. Most of the people I know in the military feel the same way. You civilians need to calm the fuck down. Most of us joined in our teens or early twenties. For a lot of us it was because we needed a job, and we didn’t see any other options, and this job has good benefits, especially for an uneducated young person in America. We get healthcare and education!! That’s some tempting fucking fruit. But this is a JOB. Some people in the military become heroes, that’s true. Jumping on grenades, defusing bombs, dragging a wounded person from the middle of a firefight. They usually end up dead in the process. Those people deserve respect, in my opinion. They give their lives for their friends, no matter whether or not you agree with the policies that put them there in the first place. But a lot of people in America reflexively claim that everyone in the military is a hero, full stop. This isn’t true and it lets people look the other way when something is actually wrong in the military, because it’s the military, they’re heroes, they can do no wrong.

We’re doing a job, and a lot of us are never really put in harm’s way. I work in a climate controlled lab for 8 hours a day, for instance. Really grueling. Such a hero. This fawning lip service of an infallible military doesn’t do us any good. I know people who have bought into it, who have heard so many people tell them that they’re heroes that they actually believe it, and they are the stupid and dangerous ones. Joining the military does not make you a hero, and calling us heroes might make you feel all warm and fluffy and red white and blue but it doesn’t do anything for the people that end up on the streets with PTSD or come home with life-changing injuries or in a box. We’re human beings, not some concept that you can just mindlessly adulate and then feel better about yourself.

Speaking as a disabled veteran: it’d be one thing if the fucking hero worship MEANT ANYTHING. But it’s a bunch of empty loud words about how Brave and Noble everyone in the military is (nah some of us are assholes) and then when it comes to, oh I don’t know, paying a soldier enough to feed their family without food stamps, or giving disability compensation without a NIGHTMARE fight with the country that claims to “care” so much. Plus the whole “sending us off to kill other people to make rich men richer while innocents die for it” thing. It’s not “defending freedom” to shove our troops into everyone’s business in countries that happen to have oil and such Military worship isn’t only annoying, it’s a hollow lie that’s basically dangerous to everyone

[mllemusketeer]

Yeah, as someone who studies a disease that disproportionately affects veterans (among a few other groups), the military worship is strong when it comes to justifying killing people, but not when it comes to treating veterans.  

[alices-reality]

Like don’t romanticize the military cause a lot of guys from my hometown went to the military because it was their easiest option and they were all big dumb racist guys who wanted to go shoot anyone darker than them but at the same time don’t vilify them either cause plenty more people joined to support themselves and their families and don’t have any other choices and are seriously just doing their best

Bring me the horizon // doomed

[cheshireinthemiddle]

Don’t let people make fun of you for liking japanese culture.

I am living in japan right now and let me tell ya:

There are people here who can’t speak or understand English who play nothing but Missy elliot and ludacris, even in businesses like housing offices and restaurants.

There are people who have cowboy hats and dead cow skulls in their home because they idolize what they assume American homes are like.

There are people who learn English strictly through music videos and American television shows.

There are entire karaoke bars with english songs often sung by people who have no idea what the lyrics mean.

Japan often takes American shows like the powerpuff girls and make japanese versions of them.

They often mistake common Americans for celebrities. I have been mistaken for Micheal jordan, tiger woods, Shaquille o'neal, Tyler perry, and saddest of all: queen latifa.

The act of sprinkling English into your japanese sentences is considered cute and cool and is popular with teenagers. Bonus points if you happen to use it correctly.

Japanese stores sell shirts with english on them and people buy them not knowing that most of those word combinations are nonsense.

Don’t let someone shame you for singing an anime opening, using japanese in your sentences, wearing clothing with japanese on it, ect. If anything, this is just one more thing that you have in common with them.

[postingmachine9000]

The American/Japanese cultural exchange is so pure and wonderful and I love it so much

[jordasn]

OK BUT RESONATE WITH THE SHIRT THING THOUGH

My Chinese relatives buy me shirts from China with English letters on them hoping I think it’s cool

I have a shirt that says “Hi Quality Uality”

It’s amazing

[cheshireinthemiddle]

It happens alot.

[downpoursofmoonlitraindrops]

And then what’s really great is Americans getting tattoos of Chinese characters thinking they mean one thing when they really don’t

[cheshireinthemiddle]

Also a topic where the reverse happens.

[mrelisha26]

lemme tell you..i have been in a grocery store in Japan and heard the unedited Get Low playin over the intercom..it was literally a Katt Williams moment

[cheshireinthemiddle]

Oh, unsensored songs are pretty common.

I should not be hearing an unsensored ‘Magic Stick’ playing at a family restaurant.

And the best thing is when literally no one shows that they understand what is being said.

[kazoomusic]

I was in a Chinese cafe one time and they had obviously put on their “fuck you” playlist. I mean, uncensored versions of Fuck You by Lilly Allen, Fuck You by Cee-lo Green, etc. No one else had any idea.

[kazoomusic]

Oh, also, I got my favorite shirt ever in a little tchotchky store in Sichuan:

[cheshireinthemiddle]
