STOP GIVING PLATFORMS TO FASCISTS

Yo I just saw something go past my dash where some dude being a pissbaby posted some questionable shit in response to somebody and he got Epically Owned by a Libruhl® and I feel like I need to remind y’all that when you see something:

white supremacist

sexist

transphobic

homophobic

antisemitic

supportive of known racists or sex offenders

otherwise terrible

You should take a moment to look at the blog it came from, and if it’s clearly a proud fascist or “ironic fascist” (this is fascist speak for ‘ashamed fascist’), DON’T REBLOG IT. No amount of mocking rhetoric will make these people shut the fuck up. The majority of them don’t even believe all of what they’re saying, but they are saying wild shit because they know you’ll reblog it and broadcast their fascist content. Fascism RELIES on liberalism and its obsession with open debate and sick burns to piggyback on the notoriety of others. 

Challenge fascist ideas on your own terms. Do not engage fascists in public debate. They do not argue in good faith. They do not care what you say. They are using you to spread bigotry, and since you can’t punch a nazi on the internet, denying them the use of YOUR platform to speak through is the next best thing.

weird how I became a much more compassionate and accepting person when I realised that drug addiction is the symptom of a problem and not the problem in itself

[radiqueer]

you also start to realise just how much the War On Drugs was actually a war against the poor, against survivors, against trans people, against sex workers, against the mentally ill and the disabled, against PoC, against queers, against the homeless. how much of it was a government manufactured ploy to sell violence against the marginalized as violence against addiction, as if addiction was not a symptom of systemic abuse.

It’s true and you should say it.

The internet went from showing food recipe videos to alchemy in less than a decade. There’s going to be a quick video on how to make the philosopher’s stone from tomato sauce next week.

Most of these have at least a hint of truth to them which makes me wonder why the first and last ones are in there what the fuck is wrong with life hack videos???

This feels a lot like it’s meant to mock the antifascist movement, and I feel like you should consider the fact that anti-antifascist propaganda is just fascist propaganda with extra steps.

[churchyardgrim]

god this is a big ask but I really wish there were like….. a site where you could plug in your state/district/whatever and tick some boxes on issues you prioritize and then the site would give you a rundown of the potential candidates in your area and where they stand on those issues in like….. clean simple bullet points. gimme the cliffnotes, I literally do not have the time or energy to comb through god knows how many articles and shit to figure out who to support, just tell me what their stance is on X, Y, and Z, and that’s gonna have to be enough.

[antis-are-abusive]

There’s BallotReady!

It goes through who’s on your ballot and explains things like that based on your address. 

[jumpingjacktrash]

this is really great. it gives you bullet points on what each candidate has said and done on each issue.

very illuminating, frankly, seeing the candidate’s own words and actions. for instance, under ‘defense/veterans’ the republican candidates almost always say something about a well-funded military, and the democrats almost always say something about getting veterans the medical care they need. makes it pretty obvious that republicans don’t care about soldiers once they’re done with them.

Republicans outpacing Democrats in early voting in key states, NBC News finds

The data suggests enthusiasm among early GOP voters that could put a dent in Democratic hopes for a "blue wave" in the midterms.

DO  NOT  RELY ON A BLUE WAVE.

GO FUCKING VOTE!!!!!!!!!

september is coming up so here’s your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone

[bentheechidna]

Well of course. We don’t wake him up until October 1st.

[geekandmisandry]

His dad is dead, just don’t.

[korrasera]

In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled “Wake Me Up When September Ends” a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.

He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.

It’s generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.

[blankblankblank01-deactivated20]

reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.

[boosyboo9206]

Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with “waking” him up because September will be over.

Okay but has it ever actually happened that someone who “was liberal” started paying taxes and then “became conservative” because they hated paying taxes? I feel like this is an urban legend that conservatives like to tell themselves for some odd reason. Like I’ve even had to pay back taxes before during tax season. I’m not suddenly gonna be like “whoa y'all, this is wild, I had to pay more taxes so now I support child border jails, cruelty, and nationalism.”

Sounds fake to me.

[akhmenos]

I look at taxes and I’m like “that’s a pisser” cause I’m broke, but like, I’m not mad at taxes. I’m mad cause I’m willing to bet the person signing my check payed less of a percent than I did

[kropotkhristian-deactivated2019]

And if you go left enough, you get to hate both capitalism and taxes!
