DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU SAD? @sleepwalk-living - Tumblr Blog

If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military:

The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend.

The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do.

The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder.

The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying.

The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.

Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order.

The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you.

If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today.

You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them.

The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.

Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources.

Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job.

Veterans' benefits suck these days.

Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones.

The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer.

The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting.

A lot can change in four years.

#also like most importantly #the military kills people #like thats its function #the 'keeping people safe' function of the military is done through killing #and the military rarely does anything to keep us safe #its more to put pressure on other countries so that we in the u.s can #make a profit #do not fall for the propaganda #i know that this post is for entry level ppl leaving the brainwashing that our government puts us through #but like the bottom line is that the military is there to keep up the profit of the rich #and they will do that by killing people. especially in countries that have very low world leverage #our government is in the business of destabilising countries that have resources it wants #and they WILL use you to get it. they dont care about you. you are canon fodder and they will use you to kill people.#the government here overall does not care about its citizens #and it certainly does not care about the people in the countries who happen to have things it can steal.

I sat behind the same girl in class all year and I was painfully jealous of her beautiful curly hair and I assumed she had just figured out some hair routine I didn't know, or had more time in the mornings than me, or was somehow more disciplined or just lucky. And then my friend talked to her one day and found out she gets 500$ perms and highlights 3 times a year. The answer was literally just money. The same friend found out that most of our classmates who I thought were just naturally smarter than me went to private highschools that cost 25k a year.

This is all a metaphor to say that there will be times when you feel like other people understand something that you don't, or have some ability that you don't, or are better than you in some way because they've accomplished something you can't. And it's going to turn out that they're just rich and they spent thousands of dollars to make that happen. You are not bad, you are not broken, the system is just fucked.

The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe made this card for their citizens to present to ICE.

If you are in a different federally recognized tribe in Washington State:

“I am a member of the (insert tribe here) Tribal Nation, which is Tribal Nation federally recognized by the United States.

This means I am also a United States citizen according to the U.S. Citizenship Act of 1924, 8 USC Section 1401.

Our tribe’s enrollment office number is (insert phone number here).

The Native American Rights Fund will assist me if you attempt to illegally detain me. Contact them at 303-447-8760”

Just a casual reminder that posting on the internet about how you would want to do physical harm to members of the US government is something that they can (and will) detain you over, so just be careful what you say in public spaces like, uh, on Tumblr.

I have got bad news for you about how connecting to the internet works and how corporations will respond to requests from the government.

this is your semi-regular reminder that tumblr has cooperated with the fbi to hand over user information in a very public way at least once. and that's not the only way the feds can collect information on you either

“so you like criminals?” I LIKE THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL.

One of worst things copaganda ever perpetuated is the rhetoric that if you aren't guilty of breaking the law, you shouldn't value your personal privacy against the state's surveillance and interrogation. That only guilty people hire lawyers when talking to police.

tea-and-hockey

Just a friendly reminder for US people. Cops don’t care about finding the person responsible for a crime, they just want to find SOMEONE to prosecute. The only thing you should ever say to a cop is “am I free to go?”. If the answer is yes, gtfo. If the answer is no, ask if you are being detained or arrested. If they say yes, shut the fuck up and ask for a lawyer. Be CLEAR that you want a lawyer. If you say “I think I should get a lawyer” they’re still able to skirt around that. Say “I want a lawyer” and refuse to say anything further. If they offer you food/water, don’t take it. They’ll use the trash to get a DNA sample. Even if you’re innocent your DNA will automatically be entered into a database forever. Another thing, biometric data like face scanning or fingerprints to unlock your phone aren’t constitutionally protected. Only passcodes are. So do with that what you will. No one has ever talked themselves out of criminal charges, even innocent people. You are not the exception. Protect yourself and your privacy.

its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out
