xx @lemxnpills - Tumblr Blog

for the love of god please listen to old users when we say this site works differently. that you can’t just sit around with a blank blog. make posts or reblog, but do something at least. this site works because we don’t have an unavoidable garbage algorithm forcefeeding us posts based on our likes. we do not need another fucking twitter, tiktok or instagram.

liking a post is literally useless here. we don’t have an algorithm. we see posts when people reblog them onto our dashes, they show up in a tag we’re following/searching, or they end up chucked into our recommended page (very inaccurate, basically just popular posts that may be vaguely related to your interests sometimes). liking doesn’t do anything. it’s just a button that’s there to show, hey, i saw this post. or you’re saving it for later

btw you should absolutely read stuff you don’t agree with. you should think critically about it. you should reflect and find different stimuli and maybe even form your own thought based on or opposed to it. ideas aren’t contagious and reading words someone else has told you are “bad” won’t infect you like a virus and make you “evil”. read with your own brain.

there is such a huge difference between “you are not immune to propaganda” talk and acting like words are magical and enough of the wrong ones will automatically override the brain of anyone who reads them and that’s all there is to it and it drives me up the wall bc that difference is the whole key to not falling for propaganda

“i read a lot of right wing nonsense back to back and after a while i could see how it could convince people” yes! exactly! you could recognise the way it was trying to work and presumably it didn’t and that’s why you’re here on tumblrdotcom talking about it and not out there screaming at pride marches or drinking bleach for your case of shingles. your brain kicked in and noticed the mechanisms and instead of stopping to analyse what those were, how you stopped them and how to teach others to do the same you’re acting as if it was some lovecraftian magical mere exposure nonsense and there’s nothing to be done about it. “you are not immune to propaganda” does not mean “there is no way to recognise propaganda, or realise when you are being sold something, or catch it before it goes too far, your only hope is to just never ever look at any of it.” you’re not immune to sunburn either, but you can notice when it’s bright out and wear a hat and some sunscreen.

Spinetta looked, sounded and acted exactly like Spinetta should.

Let me explain. If I told someone at random "hey, there's a guy named Luis Alberto Spinetta, and he sings this" and you listened to any song by him, you would picture in your head Luis Alberto Spinetta with total clarity. You wouldn't imagine anyone else. You would imagine exactly the shape and form and essence of Luis Alberto Spinetta, no matter who you are. If I showed you a picture of him you will be like "oh yeah, that's exactly what I thought he looked like" and you will be right, because Spinetta is shaped like himself.
