I will say that it's been wild watching people go "fascism bad", when they're the same exact people who have been pushing fascism for almost 2 years.

Because these people don't view fascism as bad, they just view right wing fascism as bad, they view it as bad only when they're oppressed.

Because leftists for the almost past two years have been shouting for Israelis who have left Israel, immigrated to other countries to be deported. Deporting immigrants good apparently if it's immigrants you don't like. Kinda sounds like right wingers when they are fine with European immigrants, sorry "expats", but dislike any brown or black immigrants.

Protecting minorities good until it comes to jews being physically attacked on campus when walking to class, or when jews in Australia are doxxed en masse. Or when a 12 year old jewish girl is raped.

The core component of fascism, killing people who disagree with you, is bad, unless it's those darn joos with their zionism, because killing zionists is good and not at all a sign of fascism.

I say this as a leftist, as someone who holds leftist values, the left as a fascism problem. The far left in its current form, does not care about actually helping people, about improving the lives of those underserved by the government. They don't care about preventing fascism, they just want to be the ones doing it.

today at work i rung up a customer and the total was 12.30 and i said “12:30, reminds me of a clock :)” and they kind of smiled at me with confusion and i was like “like the time on a clock, just reminds me of it… 12:30” and they said “i have no idea what you’re talking about…” with an expression of supreme pity and gentleness. after that was finished i turned to my coworker next to me and said “i just bombed so hard with this clock comment” and then realized the customer hadn’t moved and was still standing right next to me. if my fate continues down this path, the customer will probably read this tumblr post as well

if you are trying to invent a version of nazism that doesn't include antisemitism then that is no longer nazism. it is something else. a component of nazism, maybe, but at the core of nazism is a seething hatred for and desire to eradicate all jews, and if you catch yourself going "this is nazism but not targeted towards jews-" then you are no longer talking about nazism.

racial- and ethno-nationalism. racial- and ethno-supremacy. fascism. ultranationalism. these are all words that already exist and they are free to use! there is no nazism without antisemitism. if you're trying to separate nazism from antisemitism in order to make a point, put on your thinking cap for five seconds, figure out what it is you are actually talking about, and use that word instead.

Imagine Jonathan Swift posting A Modest Proposal on tumblr and then having to add like

Edit: THIS IS MOCKING ANTI-POOR AND ANTI-IRISH SENTIMENTS I AM NOT TELLING POOR IRISH PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY SELL THEIR BABIES TO BE ACTUALLY EATEN???

Edit 2: STOP SENDING ME DEATH THREATS I AM NOT CONDONING INFANT CANNIBALISM!!!

I think I may come across as being more Zionist than I actually am. In truth, many of the things the Israeli government says and does concerns me greatly, and I often feel uncomfortable endorsing some more right-wing Zionist opinions about Israel, or indeed about what the opinions of world Jewry should be. But I also, in my diving down the Jumblr hole (in particular those parts of it devoted to antisemitism), have become increasingly convinced that the gentile world in general doesn’t give a shit about Jews. If we all died tomorrow, or if we all decided to abandon everything we do that we consider Jewish, I think a lot of gentiles would go “oh, that’s too bad,” and would go about eating their toast and not giving a crap about our extinction. And that fundamentally speaking is why I consider myself to be a Zionist: because I feel that the only people who give a shit about Jews are our fellow Jews

Whenever an artist who makes dark content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so dark and nasty' and whenever an artist who makes wholesome content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so aggressively wholesome' and it's like you know I think maybe you can't tell whether or not someone is a predator based on their artistic output.

You're not immune to being the bully btw. You're not immune to being in the wrong

[buryyourdoves]

Many many many people pointed it out already, but the fact that posts like these about Musk seig heil-ing get almost 100k notes in 2 days while any other post about the rise of antisemitism and/or antisemitic incidents and attacks barely breaks the jumblr ceiling is very telling about tumblr's virtue signaling.

this is gonna make people mad but the goyim freaking out about elon just...leaves a weird taste in my mouth. Yes. That was a Nazi salute. a)Why did it take a fucking NAZI SALUTE for you to admit there's a problem when Jews have been yelling about it for months but also

b)almost nobody has been mentioning the antisemitic aspect of it. "Elon is racist and homophobic!" Yeah. He is. But like. Do you understand who Nazis famously targeted the most? I'll give you a minute. If you aren't calling out the antisemitism right now, or if this is your first time calling it out in years....your support means nothing. Nothing.

Why did you not listen to us when we have been SCREAMING about the rise in antisemitism? Why do you not ever listen to Jews? Why did it take THIS???? Stop pretending to be an activist if your activism doesn't include Jews. There's a reason a lot of us don't feel safe in progressive spaces. Think about why that is.

your unreliable narrator fucking bit me

Sometimes I think about how genuine Bucky and Steve’s friendship is and how much Bucky must have loved Steve because just think about it. Bucky was very intelligent and excellent in school, he was a great athlete, he was attractive, he had everything to be one of those guys that are total assholes specially in times like the 40’s. Like, let’s be for real. In real life, people that have all those characteristics that pre-war Bucky had are not always the nicest, or at least, they don’t become best friends of people like Steve. Steve who had countless diseases, who was not very appealing to girls, who would always be ignored or taken for granted.

But Bucky did.

He became Steve’s best friend. He was always there since they were just little kids and as he grew bigger and noticed that his best friend didn’t so much, he still was always there. He always took care of him.

And maybe I like over analyzing his character so much, but that just made me think of what a great fucking person Bucky Barnes had to be to be considered by CAPTAIN AMERICA his best friend.

Even after all those years, even after Hydra, even after the serum, when Steve found out that Bucky was alive the first thing he wanted to do was to save him. And in Civil War he fought his own teammates and went against the government just for him.

Steve thought Bucky was worth it because Bucky was the first to think he was worth it.

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.

if i was 26 and had just woken up from a 70 year suicide-induced coma with no one in the present remembering who i am and instead conflating me with the ever changing image of the role i played in ww2 that now serves as american propaganda and 2 weeks ago i was watching guys get half of their faces blown off and a week after that the love of my life fell off of a moving train with me only being able to watch and then i had to like... deal with a billionaire nepo baby war profiteer calling me an old man and saying there's nothing special about me i would have started killing people. but unfortunately it happened to steve rogers. and he has, like, morals. so
