#blame yourself

[jtem]

What the hell is wrong with these people?

They shouldn't be in office. They don't deserve it. They earned NOT being there! ACT the way you want government officials to act, and if last night is how you want things to be, GET FUCKED!

There will be Democratic Presidents in our future, and you condemned them to all the insanity you keep raising. YOU WANT IT! I keep asking, BEGGING the LeftTards to stop...

I want the old "Left" back. I want my "Left," the one that prioritized decency over virtual signaling, and acting out like an emotionally unhinged child....

Know what REALLY pisses me off? When it happens to you & yours, LeftTards, you're not going to remember how you wanted all of this. No. You're going to blame the people like me; the people who warned you and begged you to stop creating it.

"BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT," not the problem everyone else wants solved, and the problem you're going to want solved the moment that tables turn....

I. Don't. Care. How you feel about Trump. This is about YOU. This is about what YOU want and what YOU are creating for YOUR future.

For God's sake, STOP IT!

The Audacity of People: A Reflection on Accountability

As I sit here, staring at the words on my screen, I can't help but feel a sense of frustration and anger. "The audacity of people, to blame you for how you reacted, but never recognized what they did to make you react that way." These words resonate deeply with me, and I'm sure with many others who have experienced the same kind of emotional manipulation.

How many times have we been told to "hold ourselves accountable" by someone who doesn't practice what they preach? How many times have we been made to feel like we're the problem, when in reality, we're just reacting to the hurtful words or actions of someone else?

It's a classic case of gaslighting, where the perpetrator tries to shift the blame onto the victim, making them doubt their own perceptions and emotions. It's a tactic used to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions, and to maintain a sense of power and control over the other person.

I remember the countless times I've been told to "calm down" or "get over it" when I've reacted to someone's hurtful comment or behavior. I've been made to feel like I'm the one who's overreacting, like I'm the one who's being too sensitive. But the truth is, I'm not the one who's being hurtful or abusive. I'm just the one who's reacting to the hurt that's been inflicted upon me.

It's time for us to stop being blamed for how we react to the hurtful words and actions of others. It's time for us to stop being made to feel like we're the problem, when in reality, we're just trying to protect ourselves from further harm. It's time for us to hold others accountable for their actions, and to demand that they take responsibility for the hurt they've caused.

We deserve better than to be treated like this. We deserve to be respected, to be heard, and to be believed. We deserve to be treated with kindness, compassion, and empathy. And we deserve to be held accountable for our actions, just like everyone else.

So the next time someone tries to blame you for how you reacted, remember that you're not the problem. You're just a person who's trying to protect yourself from further harm. And don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.

Panic Attacks in Paradise

Typical of me to go and ruin the party

Everybody says they love me, but I'm still brokenhearted

They call me Polly Rocket, I'm a macabre Barbie (I love you)

My boyfriend wants to love me, but I won't let him

I've been predisposed to trauma since I was 11

So I wrote a couple albums notebooks to let out some aggression

I hate that I'm so Self-deprecating

More comfortable in bad situations

Sucker for a little devastation

And this always happens

Panic attacks in paradise

Piña coladas (and getting caught in the rain), I'm terrified

I swear I'm not cryin', the sun's just bright

I'm havin' the best time of my life

Panic attacks in paradise

Hyperventilating under candy skies

Tellin' myself that this is fine

I'm havin' the best time of my life

It's a big joke

Ha ha, I love laughin'

It's a big hoax

Your self-help happy

'Cause I'm okay

I'm pure propane

On an open flame

Watch me blow up

My boyfriend wants to love me, but I won't let him

I've been predisposed to trauma since I was 11

So I wrote a couple albums notebooks to let out some aggression

I hate that I'm so Self-deprecating

More comfortable in bad situations

Sucker for a little devastation

And this always happens

Panic attacks in paradise

Piña coladas (and getting caught in the rain), I'm terrified

I swear I'm not cryin', the sun's just bright

I'm havin' the best time of my life

Panic attacks in paradise

Hyperventilating under candy skies

Tellin' myself that this is fine

I'm havin' the best time of my life

I hate it when a well known director/producer/ETC gives a valid critic against the super hero model and the people do Disneys work by discrediting the critic and making fun saying they are “jealous of superheroes success” or “are just an old man being cranky about the new stuff”

The bootlicking of conglomerates happening these days is absurd. It's the general anti-intelectualism trend our society has decided to jump on that I was talking about yesterday. We've reached a point that whenever anyone has a valid criticism of anything now theyre "a hater". It's not as if everyone who is telling you this is a real fucking problem for the future of media has decades of experience and can see exactly what's happening behind the scenes and what's going to happen in the next ten years if this keeps going the way it is.

Here's the thing, criticism of the "superhero movie" model these days is not the same as it was 10-15 years ago but people can't differentiate it because...again...the internet broke everyone's brains apparently. 15 years ago you could ostensibly understand why fanboys were rabid about defending this genre. Comics had been segregated to the sidelines of media. It was a thing for "nerds and losers". Suddenly, they were finally getting "their rep". This was their time to shine. They were getting content made for them at a scale they had never seen before. Criticizing that media and it's audience back then felt, in a sense, like punching down. It also wasn't as logical because you were making only one or two a year. They were An Event. But now, when it's literally SWALLOWING everything else alive and changing the landscape completely (and not for the better) criticism is not just valid but important. Comic fanboys are no longer the characters from The Big Bang Theory. Media now primarily caters to that audience yet they still act like every minor criticism of it is still punching down. It isn't. You now control everything and are acting like the bullies you once hated.

This image is so true as my so-called friend who I am no longer friends with did me wrong and blamed it ALL on me when in reality it was ALL her fault. All I have to say is screw you and hope karma delivers ASAP.
