fuck purity. be unpalatable. fuck being perfect, fuck always "knowing better." you wanna be PUNK? you think you're a FREAK?
psh. focus on being unpalatable first. you want to be punk AND liked/respected by everyone? wrong goal. having perfect arguments and morals gets very very little done. doing shit gets stuff done.
christians/trump/whiteUSA/republicans/racists/ableists/fascists/across the globe, and many more-- they all look down on all of us, the "nuance" to their "beliefs." Punk exists because truth KILLS beliefs. that's why PUNK KILLS FASCISTS.
wanna DO something? even with helping stop AI spreading? log-off. go OFFLINE. make mistakes. listen and learn. know yourself and why you believe what you believe. no one can punch your beliefs out of you. that goes both ways.
online is a simulation. i LITERALLY mean it when i say: touching grass is punk nowadays. logging offline (phone/computer/whatever screen unless it's like face-time lol).
social media is not social any more. it's data-collecting at BEST. like being social online? totally fine. find other apps that don't force AI.
"accept all cookies" REJECT ALL POSSIBLE.
"by continuing to use this app/website, to agree to our privacy and policy [etc]"
THAT'S A TRAP. FIND A DIFFERENT WEBSITE.
billionaires buy you through your data, and if you aren't already (in "ease-of-effort" ways) controlled by apps and ads to let them think for you (analyse ads, they're adding a lot of built-in-camera surveillance, disguised as "for your safety" "features"). ie: dont think, just do! and toyota's newest "safety" feature of registering IF YOUR EYES ARE WATCHING THE ROAD AND ALERTING YOU TO WATCH FORWARD (depicted as an exhausted nurse overworked from a shift falling asleep at the wheel).
can YOU🫵 guess how far away tech is from forcing attention to advertisements?
blackmirror season 1 ep 2 is where we're all headed and none of this is news.
PUNKS SAY NO. PUNKS MAKE MISTAKES. PUNKS ASK QUESTIONS. PUNKS RAISE MORE QUESTIONS THAN THEY ANSWER. MAKE PEOPLE QUESTION THEIR SCHEMAS. PUNK IS AWAKE. PUNK IS INDIFFERENT TO FUCKIN JOKER COWARD INCELS. PUT POWDERED MASHED POTATOES IN THEIR CARS (OR TANKS). MAKE THEIR LIVES INCONVENIENT.
MAKE FASCISTS AFRAID TO BE FASCIST. APPLY the SIMILAR LOGIC: "DEAD PEDOPHILES CAN'T REOFFEND. KILL YOUR LOCAL PEDO." fascists are "innocent"? oh? viewing other humans as lesser-than is innocent? that's fine with you? you don't wanna rock the boat? you're NOT PUNK. yet.
work on yourself before you "work" on others. know your own point before you try and get it across. know yourself and why you believe what you believe. KNOW why you, personally, believe it. even if you can't get THAT across to someone else, at least YOU know why you stand on that hill you'd die on, right?
CALL OUT CLASS DIVIDE AS FACT, NOT A PUNCHLINE. MAKE THEIR SAFETY THEIR PROBLEM. PUNK ISN'T DEAD.
PUNK CALLS FOR ONE WAR: CLASS WAR.
DON'T GET DISTRACTED BY LAZY PROPAGANDA PREYING ON HOW TIRED YOUR EMPATHY IS. THEY DID THIS ON PURPOSE TO YOU.
DON'T STOP CARING. in the words of my favourite Australian artist musician Wil Wagner: "Youth is wasted on the young, drink is wasted on the drunk. Nothing's ever loud enough to properly drown the demons out. It's a punishment to care about anything this much. Nothing's ever loud enough! Nothing's ever loud enough!!! Nothing's ever loud enough!!!!!!"
TLDR? too bad. that's a YOU🫵 problem.
