WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

[bl00dlikeice]

@caesarianconfection

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

[mommacomms]

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

[pagesofkenna]

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

[animatedamerican]

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

[captainlordauditor]

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

[japhers]

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics

[renthony]

My teenager has more hours of homework per night than I got in my entire university career, and it doesn’t teach them a goddamn thing besides how to hate themself for not being able to do it all.

If my wife isn’t expected to labor outside her designated work hours at her literal job, why is my teenager expected to labor outside theirs?

[renthony]

If my kid has three hours of homework a night, that extends their work day to ELEVEN FULL HOURS. That’s inhumane. If an adult told me they were working eleven-hour days, I’d give them my wife’s number and tell them how to start unionizing. Like????

[official-lucifers-child]

fuck i never thought of it in terms of hours

[renthony]

This post is going around again, so I would like to tell every single adult making comments about the length of their own workday that you are also being exploited. You should also not be required to work so many hours. That’s just as inhumane as forcing the kids to do it.

“Oh but I work 12-hour shifts all the time–” You shouldn’t have to. I’m sorry your job is exploiting you so harshly. If you’re interested in unionizing, visit IWW.org or talk to your local/industry union rep.

[calicomeoww]

What kind of university did they went to seriously? I have 200 pages of reading (and i am not kidding) per week at uni and some of them are so dense that it takes 2 hours just to read 10 pages. And we have written assignments, quizzes, reports, projects, presentations.

[renthony]

I am astounded at how many people keep taking this post as “OP didn’t have any work in university” instead of “wow, high schoolers in the United States are given way too high a workload.”

I assure you, I had projects and papers in my university courses. What I did not have, was several hours of homework every single night after eight straight hours at school. I didn’t have piles of worksheets or multiple tests every week or threats that my “participation grade” would plummet if I didn’t finish an hour of busywork every night for every class. None of my classes occurred every single day of the week or had assignments every single night.

I worked my ass off in university until I burnt out and lost my academic scholarship, forcing me to drop out due to the expense. My university career was hectic and brutal.

And I still had less take-home homework than my kid had in high school.

Lying Biden: Omni Post

Biden said he’d give $2,000 stimulus checks. Instead he gave only 1400 and means tested it to be given to people making under a certain amount based on pre-Covid income.

Biden said he’d forgive student debt. Instead he backed Betsy Devos and her campaign against loan forgiveness and while he did cancel 3 billion, he allowed the national Student Debt to increase by another ~40 billion.

He said he’d he raise the minimum wage to $15. Instead, he secretly told his colleagues that he was not trying to and scapegoated the parliamentarian, someone who can be ignored and fired.

Biden said he would lower the Medicare for all eligibility and create a public option. Instead he has blocked any attempt on Medicare expansion in spite of raging pandemic.

Biden promised that he would listen to experts to defeat Covid. He meant economic experts apparently as his strategy is nearly identical to Trump in spite of Vaccines.

Speaking of which, Biden said that he would make sure no parents would get in the way of distributing the vaccine worldwide.

Instead he has coddled the patents and prevented exports of the vaccines to developing nations. This allowed Big Pharma to extort developing nations.

[ubernegro]

But I am not finished lol.

Biden said he’d cure cancer if elected. Not only he didn’t cure cancer, his sanctions have prevented cancer patients from receiving treatment.

Biden promised he’d decriminalize Marijuana and expunge the records of those convicted of the possession of the drug.

He fired his own staffer for past use after tricking them into revealing that info and has sent the ones that Trump pardoned back to Prison.

Biden promised to remove the racist mandatory minimum drug sentencing that he instilled in the first place with assistance from a segregationist.

He is expanding on Trump’s expansion of them.

Biden promise to end Trump’s racist Muslim Ban. He has continued them instead.

[ubernegro]

But I am still not finished.

I’ve been talking about this for awhile now but liberals have been moving goal posts on this particular issue.

Biden promised to halt deportations. Instead he expanded on them, increased ICE’s funding, and doubled the amount of migrants in concentration camps.

Biden promised to end the practice of putting children in cages.

Biden just renamed them, and opened more for profit detention facilities while tripling the amount of children in cages with the added quality of denying them masks and other basic amenities like food, medicine, and clothes.

Biden promised to end family separation. He didn’t end family separation.

Biden promised to end the construction of the Border Wall. He stalled when he was perfectly capable of doing something about it and continued to seize property from families in order to continue the construction of the border wall.

To be continued

[ubernegro]

Biden promised to believe in Climate Science and fight the climate crisis. Instead, he increased the oil drilling, defended the pipelines, and placed fossil fuel executives in his administration.

Biden pledged that he’d stop supporting the genocide in Yemen by US ally, Saudi Arabia.

He gave them more weapons and support.

Biden promised that he’d rejoin the Iran Deal and improve relations with Iran.

He refused their offer, and chose to bomb Iranian forces illegally, seize their lands, and kill their citizens with sanctions.

Biden promised to improve US relations with Cuba. I am starting to think that Biden thinks sanctions and blockades are not acts of war and oppression, but how we make allies.

Can’t stop. Won’t stop.

[ubernegro]

Biden promised to stop giving the police weapons of war. He actually increased the militarization of the police.

Biden promised to punish the Saudi Royal Family for brutally murdering Jamal Khashogi with US trained assassins.

Biden promised to give more refugees an opportunity to seek asylum in America.

He has been Trump-esque.

I am pinning this for posterity and in case there be updates. Yes I am that petty. You liberals pissed me off.

[ubernegro]

I was waiting for at least two weeks to update this but since Liberals want to play, “discredit the black man, he bad” with me and super monitor everything I post. Cool. Fact check this.

Biden tweets out that he will fight for the climate science. But he not only won’t ban fracking, he urged OPEC to boost oil output to subsidize for the Covid Pandemic, and arrested protesters who are actually fighting for climate change.

Line 3 Drew Thousands of Protesters to Minnesota This Summer. Last Week, Enbridge Declared the Pipeline Almost Finished - Inside Climate New

In the dense coniferous forests of northern Minnesota, they’ve shown up nearly every day to chain themselves to equipment and block traffic

To quote one indigenous water protector:

“I drove people to the polls for you, Joe Biden. I drove people to the polls who had never, never voted in their lives,” Winona LaDuke said in a July 7 press call. “We believed in you.”

Sorry, Winona, you aren’t one of the oil lobbyists that Biden put in his administration so your council don’t mean shit to him.

By the way, if you are worried about the recent IPCC report that said in more certain terms that we are fucked if we don’t do something, support the StopLine3 movement. And you should because well…

Back to the Biden bashing that you assholes don’t have an answer for.

Remember that promise Biden made that he will have Covid down by Independence Day? I found a nice little parallel.

Not like they handled it too differently. I think that’s the definition of insanity.

But Biden wouldn’t mind being associated with Trump since the fucker has been actively defending him in court.

Well I guess that is a common courtesy Presidents have: shield each other from their own bullshit.

Game on, liberals. Let’s fucking go.

[ubernegro]

Back again to make niggas heated. Not just remind you that you got more stimulus money under Trump than you did Biden or to how the administration abandoned you in Covid just like Trump, but to dig deep into some Biden lore.

Today we are talking about Tara Reade.

Tara Reade updated her story in early January to include the tidbit of Joe digitally stimulating her because, under my assumption, she didn’t initially classify the gesture as assault. Before we go into details about how rape victims, especially women, recall trauma. One particular thing about the persecution of Reade was that her claims found some truth. Her ex-husband corroborated her story in a civil divorce proceedings, years before Biden decided to run. Her mother called Larry King anonymously asking about sexual assaulting Senators and the victimizing interns and who they can come to. But one detail, I found particular is the “well” that Biden allegedly brought her to according to her interview with Katie Halper.

"Change," "Hope" ... Why They Must be Talking About Joe Biden!

CounterPunch Diary

This story was written by the unfortunately named and late Alexander Cockburn back in 2008. He mentioned Biden sexually assaulting a staffer much in the same manner as Tara Reade. In other words, Joey Fingaz had a preferred location to get handsy with his aides. Speaking of which, the incident of the car accident Cockburn mentions is often quoted without the context that Biden was caught with a staffer.

Biden blamed the driver for his wife’s death and claimed he was drunk in order to garner sympathy and take eyes off the fact that he was caught weeks prior to sexually assaulting a staffer.

This is not me saying believe Tara. But why do you believe Joe over her when Ho Biden was already caught doing this before?

[ubernegro]

It’s getting super obnoxiously long just beginning to cover this asshole’s lies.

This one. He lied to the whole world. If you don’t believe me and of course reality, the US is still in war with Iraq, is intervening in Syria militarily, funding the Saudi Genocide in Yemen, and is involved in the Somali Civil War. Like…duh.

And also Sanctions and embargoes are acts of war.

Not to mention the antagonistic attitude towards China and Russia that the administration fostered. Like…what?

This is one will hurt.

Both of these are full on bold faced bare assed lies.

Biden has brought back fucking overseers. He has used exceeded Trump’s use of Title 42 to expel more than 200k more migrants from this country. Biden is on pace to strip the title of Deporter in Chief from Obama within his first year knowing that most asylum seekers deported and sent back to their country fucking die.

And just to twist that knife for specific pro-abortion folks.

It’s over. You lost. Don’t politicize your issue to shame voters into voting Democrats again.

[smitethestate]

A couple more to add to your list (feel free to just steal it if convenient) just from today (9/22/21) and today:

[ubernegro]

This has been long overdue.

Remember that outcry about ICE beating and whipping Haitian refugees escaping and seeking asylum from a country that the United States indirectly helped kill their President via training his Colombian Assassins in a coup school in the US? Thus inferring that the US is behind the discord in Haiti that those Haitian refugees are escaping from or at least partially ? Yeah, so after those images of ICE officials living out their overseer fantasies were released, Joe Biden promised to end that mindless and racist-image invoking practice. Well, he lied.

“Oh, but I thought Joe Biden was going to practice a more humane immigration process,” you fuck ass liberals may ask but then justify at least that it’s not as bad as Trump. You are wrong again.

Damn. It’s like electing the guy who once said “if Haiti were wiped off the face of the Earth, it would not matter to the US” was a bad idea.

I remember this. I also remember the leaked call of Joe Biden condescendingly talking down to Civil Rights leaders about Black Lives Matter protests and Defund the Police.

He says as Immigration is a Black issue. 7% of non-citizens in the U.S. are Black, but 20% of those facing deportation on criminal grounds are Black. 44% of people detained by ICE from 2020 to now are Haitian. Bonds for Haitian detainees average $16,700, 54% higher than for other immigrants.

Black Lives Never Mattered To Joe Biden.

But there is a caveat here.

1/4th of black folks who did support Biden, no longer do. And you liberals aren’t going to gaslight them about Biden or any likeminded liberal politician, again.

[ubernegro]

In the onset of the media somehow preemptively blaming leftists for Virginia losses and Republican gains around the country, I just want to remind you that Biden has failed to deliver on essentially anything.

And these betrayals are coming back to bite the man who fell asleep during a summit about a climate crisis after repeated failings on doing anything substantive about climate change. Biden is going to be the president of failing to live up to anything he campaigned for.

This man supported his own perceived obstacles.

Democrats are going to blame the left for their inevitable loss in 2022. And then move further to the right.

And there is no one will ever dispute or question their logic.

[ubernegro]

New Lying Biden a day early because @wilwheaton pissed me off.

Which is basically the summary of Wil’s Biden apologia. And I am a little sick of this.

Remember Puerto Rico and how devastated Biden bums were and how they used Trump’s mishandling of the devastation?

Made a whole ass plan, part of which was to audit the billions of dollars of debt that Puerto Ricans incurred along with protecting pensioners.

Well…

Biden lied

Biden promised that the board that is still heartlessly collecting debt would respect Puerto Ricans but they are in court using the law that the board’s demands exceed any law of the land.

Oh and to update, Biden has lost more refugee children than Trump. Damn. So much for kids in cages, huh, liberals?

But that is not going to stop conservative war mongering piece of shit conservative liberal Bill Kristol from gas lighting the fact that no one wanted Biden to be the next FDR.

You did and fuck you, Kristol. And how are you not in prison for creating the agenda to get America in war with Iraq with your think tank Project New American Century?

In spite of Biden’s torrential failures and disappointments, I just to remind you all that almost everything in this massive posts was within Biden’s power.

He could have not given a student loan debt collector more money and instead cancelled the student loan debt.

He could release political prisoners like he would said he’d respect and would do.

Biden is every bit as bad as Trump and you motherfucker’s are lying to yourselves at this point.

[ubernegro]

Fuck Joe Biden.

Mother fuck, all of you liberals who co-opted a movement to vote for this piece of shit.

Don’t talk to me today or this week. Eat shit.

[ubernegro]

Okay I did say I wasn’t going to update this anymore. And I truly wasn’t. Like I was completely satisfied with just moving on. But this is just getting egregious. First, Republicans and Ancaps shouldn’t complain about Biden because you are getting everything you want. Liberals never really had principles to begin with so they don’t matter. But yeah, this shit is absurd.

Oh wow weee are fucked.

On every fundamental level, Joe Biden has lived up to every leftist’s worst fears. Like a neo-liberal he has prioritized the health of people for the health of the economy which at this point is short hand for rich people because you don’t fucking matter.

But hey, let’s get on the CDC since no one is raising an eyebrow as to how this public health National bureaucracy has been handling a pandemic in the country with the second most deaths from said pandemic probably doesn’t have its Nation’s people’s best interest.

Because we are in a banana republic, mis amigos. A plutocracy of the rich. Biden’s plan for Covid was for people on red states to just fucking die. His plan of getting back to normal was resuming student loan payments.

It was never about the human element in Biden’s campaign. In his whole political career, Biden has never cared about the human aspect of governance. He has only justified the institution of government.

But you are thinking, “Wait, Ubernegro, you are a crusty Anarchist, you don’t like the state so why are you criticizing Biden for stating there is no federal response to Covid?”

Because he is undermining a collective response to Covid. Which Anarchists are for and governments are also capable of and somehow this country doesn’t even want to implement because it goes against their real God, endless production.

Sorry to dump this on you, but you liberals have no excuse.

[ubernegro]

I know this post is the equivalent of being hit by a truck mentally and I am getting conscious of its overall effect so trust me. I am not trying to be mean when I put this on your dash. As @hater-of-terfs says, I know that this is like a challenge to you to scroll down and hit that block post button and it’s officially longer than the color of the sky post. I am on the autistic spectrum so this kind of shit doesn’t faze me, but I promise I am not trying to be a dick to your thumb. This isn’t at all intentional. None of this was. Due to my autism and my natural inclination to throw a middle finger up at liberals, honestly voting for Biden was basically forcing me to do this.

With Biden’s continued and unfettered support of police militarization and mass incarceration, I fear that continuing covering this lie only surmounts the Democrats’ five head strategy to actually want to compete with Republicans on whom backs the Blue more. This evident in Biden actively advocating in the Supreme Court that federal agents can’t be held accountable for retaliating against protected speech like what Trump had feds doing in front of Lafayette square and Portland.

So let’s just stop with that, shall we?

But I guess the biggest failure of this administration is it’s handling of Covid. Because that is a massive failure.

Disclaimer: I believe that trying to “tech” a pandemic via vaccines, therapeutics, and testing while ignoring basic public health procedures acquiesced with incentivizing staying at home and staving off debt collectors and paying people to stay at home is optimal in dealing with a pandemic. Ignoring basic public health policy is dispensing an important layer of public health. Isolation, masks, ventilation, and good contact tracing are all very important. So don’t call me an anti-vaxxer or anti-masker.

Also that last line is very important point in the discussion of Biden’s Covid policy.

Biden’s Covid policy is tied to the administration’s concern over Biden’s approval rating. So he combines that with his insistence on continuing the vaccine only Covid policy inherited from the Trump Administration. It creates a cycle of misinformation and distrust.

So they create the fictitious boogie man that there is this cadre of devout Trump Supporters that refuse to take the vaccine while insisting that their policy isn’t the problem. Hence the myth of the pandemic of the unvaccinated is born.

This is the game Biden is playing. He won’t change his policy because doing so is admitting defeat and saying his is wrong. And white people be doing that shit. So they double down on disinformation campaigns. He is framing this that his policy would work if it weren’t for those pesky unvaccinated lepers.

The real conflict going on is between the Biden administration's corporate-profits-first vaccine-only "get back to work" strategy and the actual public health community who have consistently been telling them to take a different approach.

They can’t keep blaming their Covid Woes on this mythical group of obstinate Y’all-Quada paint eating Trump supporters because they backed themselves in a corner and can’t admit that their policy is fucked. Biden’s mythology about the Covid pandemic is no different from Trump’s regarding the immigration policy. Just swap anti-vax with illegal immigrants taking your jobs, and we have the same shit show. Speaking of which…

“There’s No Social Distancing”: Immigrants Held in ICE Jails at Risk Amid New Omicron Surge

As the Omicron variant sets record-high COVID-19 infection rates across the United States, we look at the conditions in the sprawling networ

You know I had to do it to ‘em.

Here is the effect of Biden trying to convince his base that it’s an us vs them contest.

This has actually eroded people’s faith in the CDC.

CDC has lost all credibility.

And Biden has failed to negotiate the deal with reducing the costs of rapid testing.

We’re experiencing “we’ve tried everything and we’re all out of ideas” memetic government.

Disabled community 'left behind' in vaccine rollout one year later

Disabled people are struggling to access or receive reliable information concerning the vaccine.

And the disabled, who can’t get access to the vaccine, are both vilified and dying. It’s a problem. We know that low wage workers are unvaccinated because they don’t have healthcare or no paid time off. Or they are worried that they might lose time if they show symptoms.

Telling people to get vaccinated is good actually. The issue is that Biden is using this as a rallying cry to boost his approval rating while forcing everyone to work for their capitalist handlers no matter what. Hence why you see the administration brag about the economy.

There is also the social aspect of this policy.

Stay indoors, but you have to work in person. Wear a mask, but not that one. The expensive that isn’t widely available. Take rapid tests. Oh, but don’t because they don’t work and you can’t find them. Schedule a PCR. Oooh shucks, there are no appointments in your area.

You see that? That’s an exercise in despair. This entire pandemic response has been an exercise of them making it abundantly clear that they will sacrifice you in service to capital.

I love this.

also I went and looked it up on the MFA website and as I suspected, it’s made of mother-of-pearl! the rainbow parts are probably from iridescent blacklip shells, and the rest is carved white oyster shell.

There are some Chinese porcelains which are definitely worthy of the Tiffany paradox - I mean, sure, it was made in the 1300s but it’s a lemon yellow tea bowl - but honestly this one really epitomizes the matter.

Hey, check out these funky Chico’s necklaces from my Jewish grandmother’s collection:

SIKE they are 1400 YEARS OLD

[vinceaddams]

ooh, I’ve got some more! Look at this painting.

A Caricature Group by John Hamilton Mortimer, c. 1766.

This does not look like an 18th century oil painting, it looks more like something out of Mad magazine, but nope. 1760’s.

I made a pinterest board for 18th century pottery just to save all the Weird Stuff to it, like this horrible bear jug, which is just one of many similarly horrible 18th century bear jugs! It’s hideous and I love it.

Mugs shaped like people’s heads was also A Thing, here’s one from c. 1782.

And I LOVE this teapot with fossil decoration c. 1760-65. It’s amazing. Perfect. I would so dearly love to have a replica and feature it prominently in a photoshoot with some of my 18th century costumes.

This one is also c. 1760’s.

And one more, also c. 1760!

I love pretty historical dishes with delicate floral patterns as much as the next guy, but seeing weird and bright and tacky stuff from over 2 centuries ago makes me happy.

Honourable mention to these c. 1788-93 stockings with little knitted portraits in between the brightly coloured stripes.

[marzipanandminutiae]

I discovered, when investigating what 1840s pearl earrings looked like for a ball outfit, that they look

EXTREMELY 1980s

seriously I was able to buy something from the Fancy Section of Claire’s that looked almost exactly like the top example

[vinceaddams]

I can’t believe I forgot to add the 1840’s 8-bit foxes!!

This embroidered waistcoat is one of 3 I’ve seen with the same design, so it must have been published in a magazine or something. It’s so weird knowing that it’s 1840’s because it looks so pixel-y, especially with that bright blue background. (And yes, I’ve seen plenty of other pixel-y looking old needlepoint and and such, but they’re usually floral.)

Also, wow, those do look very 1980’s! Very convenient for costumers when things repeat like that!

There’s also a surprising amount of historical jewelry that looks exactly like something my middle school classmates would wear.

Necklace, 1861-67, V&A.

Ring, 1730-60, V&A.

Ring, c. 1780, V&A.

Turns out people have liked heart shaped jewelry for a very long time! …I’ll try not to reblog this a 3rd time when I inevitably think of even more stuff, because a post like this could go on forever.

Hey I’m once again seeing discourse about PewDiePie (probably because he has been welcomed back into the larger community of youtube personalities playing Among Us like Corpse Husband, JackSepticEye and Cr1tikal) and I just want to remind people of his ugly racist history that he has never properly put behind him and in fact continues to perpetuate.

His fanbase has always been racist. He was one of the first big YouTubers and he has always made racially charged jokes and has said the n-word in videos - notably, targeting somebody else with it. I watched his content when I was a young child, I experienced these things first hand. There were racist jokes, rape jokes, and generally sexual jokes targeted for his younger demographic. He has always been known as problematic, as problematic was used back in 2012.

A preamble to his first exposé: in November 2016 he showed up to a taping of his own series produced by Maker Studios (Disney) wearing a shirt with a swastika on it. Somebody told him to change. He denies this ever happened, but acknowledged that the shirt exists. There are photos of him and a friend wearing it.

The thing he got caught for was when he paid two men $5 to write and hold up a sign with the words “Death To All Jews”. His apology was half-assed. He apologized for the way that it came across and did not acknowledge the reasons that it was wrong. Febuary 2017: he descends into utter alt-right reactionism, harassing the WSJ journalist and sending his fans after the publication to the point where the Journal offered to put the journalist in a safehouse.

September 2017, he called somebody he n-word on stream, just weeks after Charlottesville occurred - where his imagery, jokes, and memes were used as motivation. He went on to say he had no idea that Nazis actually existed, that the Nazi jokes he was making weren’t funny anymore, and that he would not be making them anymore.

In March 2019, a white supremacist livestreamed himself saying “Subscribe to PewDiePie” before committing mass-shootings in two Christchurch mosques, killing dozens and injuring more. He responded with a single tweet, that he felt sickened that his name left the man’s mouth, and that his heart went out to the people affected. Later, he called for an end to the Subscribe to PewDiePie meme and promised $50,000 to the Anti-Defamation League. He then retracted his decision, saying that he did not want to donate to something that he was not passionate about.

Felix Kjellberg has never made a single attempt to rid his fanbase of actual literal Nazis and white supremacist scum because he built his platform around them. He alone has radicalized probably half of the white nationalist/supremacist/Nazi men in America ages 18-25.

I will never forgive him.

This is taken from the Guardian article from above:

You could say that today’s digital economy has spawned a new “bro-nality of evil”. Racist memes serve as in-jokes that help solidify bonds between alienated white men online. The style of these memes, their overblown exaggerated nature, means we often don’t take them seriously. Dismiss them as jokes. But this is how antisemitism creeps into our lives. Not with a bang but with a punchline.

Happy Chanukkah, everyone.

this is getting a little traction so I just wanted to point out that I’m saying this I’m not black, I am a native Jewish person with a degree in how race, gender, and class move through modern media. Nazis in America target black and Jewish people in particular and it would be an incomplete conversation if I didn’t include his racism.

If you’re an addict looking for rehab facilities to check yourself into, I’m begging you to avoid any facility that’s related to/inspired by Synanon or that relies on “work therapy” to treat addicts. These facilities will not actually treat your addiction. They instead literally turn you into a brainwashed slave and they regularly verbally abuse you to the extreme and call it treatment.

An example of this is Cenikor, which is notorious for making the people in their care work 80 hours a week without pay or days off while denying them healthcare and real therapies that are actually proven to help addicts manage their addictions and mental health. They force their patients to work in dangerous places and industries with little to no training, like on oil rigs and warehouses filled with heavy machinery, where severe injuries are common and where some people have even died. They’re allowed to keep you there against your will for as long as they see fit. This is run of the mill for any “work therapy” based rehab facility.

On top of literally turning you into a slave, these facilities engage in a type of “therapy” that is literally just verbal abuse. They make you sit in the center of a circle or in front of a group of people and these people are allowed to yell at you and insult you and bully you. They can say literally whatever the fuck they want to you and you’re just supposed to sit there and take it and this results in your self esteem and self worth being destroyed and you being brainwashed into being a better slave for them. This is known as a version of attack therapy and it has been proven through over 40 years of research to be completely inaffective at helping addicts and yet it’s continued to be one of the main pillars of their “treatment” because it makes you easier to control while they work you like a slave and collect all the money you’re earning.

These facilities are based on “treatment” models developed by Synanon, which was a straight up cult. It started in the late 50’s/early 60’s and its beginnings have some pretty positive aspects but down the road the founder realized the people in his care were a great source of free labor to get rich off of and he became more and more of an authoritarian leader. The group went from being something founded by addicts to help addicts during a time where rehab wasn’t really a thing to being a cult that controlled every aspect of the members lives and that took everything they owned.

I’m begging addicts to please stay away from facilities like this. They know how to portray themselves so that they look like a dream come true but it’s all lies and manipulation. These facilities will not help you, they just abuse you and make money off of you that you will never get to see a cent of. You will sleep in buildings that are falling apart and eat food that isn’t fit for human consumption because they don’t care about you. They do not see addicts as human beings, they see them as slave labor.

This is not a rare phenomenon and these places exist all over the country so please be careful when looking to get help with your addiction. You deserve to be treated at better facilities than this.

If you want more info about this, I highly suggest listening to the podcast Reveal Presents: American Rehab. It’s 8 episodes and is an in depth look at these kinds of rehab facilities and the history of Synanon. More people really need to know about these places and their abuse of addicts.

once u stop hating, mocking, or generally judging (quietly or out loud) your lgbtq+ peers for their identities/gender expressions that u for whatever reason don’t understand…

u will 100% be a happier, kinder, and prouder member of this community. legit. when i was a young teen, i used to think neopronouns were weird/fake, xenogenders were stupid, that you needed dysphoria to be trans, that trenders existed, etc… but i worked on understanding my peers and realized that i actually relate to them!

it feels so much better being kind! and understanding them could allow you to better understand yourself, because you won’t have these toxic notions that may be causing you to do/think things about yourself you wouldn’t otherwise.

like. it’s okay if you don’t understand, gender is hard! it’s confusing! it’s complex! but it costs you literally nothing to just be kind and respectful. as the adage goes, if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all. 

you aren’t being productive by being an asshole. you aren’t protecting the lgbtq+ community by being an asshole. you aren’t being an activist by being an asshole. you’re just being an asshole, and likely making people who already struggle with confidence in their gender hate themselves/their gender more.

be nice.

Dykes to Watch Out For no. 89 by Alison Bechdel , 1990

[bagofbonesmp3]

something i always found so ironic about those anti-piracy disney/marvel defenders is that they act like they’re paying for the streaming and the movie tickets and all that because they want to give the creators the revenue. but funnily enough Disney/Marvel/Star Wars movies and tv shows constantly steal from writers and artists of the source material (in marvel’s case, comics, in star wars case, novel writers) and don’t pay them a cent while using their concepts to make billions. so whose creative property are you really protecting by paying for Disney+?

[keeper-of-the-flames]

Oh it’s so much worse than that. Ever since Disney has taken over Star Wars, there’s been an ever growing issue of them stealing fan art and passing it off as their own, in a way that seems to have spun out of a normal Marvel comics practice of just googling images and then tracing them.

Tau'ri ship the USAF Ares by Mallacore on DeviantArt

Here’s one time a Fantastic Four comic took the design of fan made Stargate ship. I reached out to the artist and they had no idea this had even happened, much less got compensation.

As for Star Wars stealing fan art, EckhartsLadder covers it pretty well:

I know these are a lot of videos, but I think they make the point that your money not only isn’t going to creators actually contracted to make official products, but it’s also not going to many fan artists who have their work stolen by Disney properties and have zero recourse cause how can a fan artist afford to take Disney to court? In spite of being a multi-billion dollar company, Disney refuses to pay their own writers and artists, much less those they steal from. Fucking pirate everything.
