I’ve made up my mind- I’m deleting this blog. I’ve got some things I need to set up and save elsewhere so I’ll be around for a few days, but for the most part I’ll be gone starting this weekend

I am going to be making a new blog, so mutuals and anyone who’ll want to follow me send me a message and I’ll give you the URL

Thoughts n stuff

Hey it’s me, your local neighborhood blog runner here with some thoughts n personal shit!

As much as I love tumblr and how big of a role it’s played in discovering my identity I am. So tired. of this website.

I used to think that tumblr was a welcoming and safe place for everyone where anyone who was outcast or alone could go to find friendship and a place where they belong. And while I’ve found communities like that here, and made some amazing friends, tumblr is just in general a bad place to be.

There’s discourse and hate blogs and people who will find you and your personal information and make your life a living hell if you make one mistake. You’re not allowed to admit that what you’ve said in the past was wrong and that you’ve grown since then, and God forbid if you have a different opinion to someone!

I made this tumblr to talk with a friend of mine and have a good time. This was supposed to be a happy place for me, and tangentially anyone who happened to stumble upon my blog. And the thing is, this website is causing me real stress and it’s been getting less fun and happy to check tumblr- everywhere you go there’s discourse and personal attacks and guilt tripping posts- and this is just me but I don’t like it. It’s not fun and a new way to meet cool people anymore. I’ve seen people bullied off for something they’ve apologized for and I’ve seen people turn against each other over a misunderstanding and there’s so, so much anon hate everywhere. Polite education doesn’t exist and the entire environment seems really hostile all the time. (While I understand why that’s a different post and I don’t want to get into it right now.)

Because of this, and the fact that tumblr is taking up so much of my time (that I need to do schoolwork and other activities that actually add something to my life), I think I might delete this blog. If I do, I’ll be getting in contact with my close mutuals, so don’t worry, I won’t leave without any total warning.

Yeah. So. I’m still thinking about it but it’s a very real possibility at this point in time.

TL;DR: might be leaving because tumblr has gotten legitimately toxic for me recently and I don’t wanna deal with that shit

In Finland, speeding tickets are calculated based on your income - causing some Finnish millionaires to pay fines of over $100,000. Source

This is what “equality” looks like in that liberal fairy tale land of Finland. They punish you proportionately to how successful you are. Sounds really “fair.”

Except… it is fair? Because it’s proportionate. I don’t get what’s difficult about that. An impoverished person paying $400 dollar fine isn’t the same as a millionaire paying the same amount. For the poor person, $400 dollars could mean starving. Would you really claim it would have the same consequence for a rich man? Would it even be noticeable to him, while the absence of food in their stomach would be glaring to a poorer man? Would it be fair for a man to starve for the same crime as a man that would be having a three course meal?

By taking income into account, it allows the impoverished able to still survive while paying any fines they may incur. And, ultimately, while $100,000 dollars would be noticeable to a millionaire, they would still get by. And, assuming the law is properly implemented, they would be paying the same equivalent of their yearly income that a poorer person would. That’s what makes it fair. They would be impacted the same way - but you are looking at the amount rather than the equation.

Also, it’s important to make sure that even the rich would pause at the cost of a fine. They need to fear the law just as a poor man does.

Oh no… rich people facing fines that might actually make them consider not doing illegal things because the punishments might actually hurt them… how unfair… -V
