alright you guys hate same-y? i'll give you something to think of.
i want to see one of your blorbos get confronted with the idea that being in the military isn't actually all that great.
of course, they all know that. they all know that being in the military is bad for their mental health. they're killing people they never get a chance to meet. of course it's bad.
but have they ever thought outside of themselves?
they all went into the military to help people, right? that's the lie they've been told, that's the lie that convinced them to join, and that's the lie they keep repeating to themselves whenever they're faced with doubt.
we know this. as consumers of call of duty (notorious propaganda machine for the united states military), we know this. or at least, we should all know this as consumers of call of duty.
so have ghost--a man who used the military as a way of keeping structure in his life--meet someone who challenges all those lies he keeps telling himself.
have soap--a scottish man for fucks sake--confront the fact that he betrayed his ancestors by joining the british military.
have gaz--a black man--be haunted by the realization that he hurt his own people by invading countries in africa to extract their resources.
have price bear the brunt of the consequences--his soldiers are all coming to him telling him they quit because the lies they were told were too much to handle. they figured out the truth. and there's nothing he can do to keep his soldiers because they're tired of upholding a corrupt system.
do it. i dare you.
i mean, you'll have to confront your own ideals of what it means to be anti-military. but hey, it's not a same-y fic!

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

If I have to see one more “we survived him before we can do it again” post I’m going to scream.
So many people didn’t. So many more people are going to die. Women are going to bleed out in parking lots because doctors are scared to give them the abortion they need. Migrates are going to die in detention centers. Kids are going to have their parents ripped away in mass deportations. Potentially millions of people are going to lose their healthcare.
Yes, we keep fighting, but don’t say we survived before. A lot of people didn’t.

Rape allegations and charges do not ruin mens' lives because a rapist can run for president and win. An aggressively racist man can still have the support of numerous people of color, can run for president and win. A chauvinist that wants to enforce laws an restrictions on women's bodies and coined the term "grab 'em by the pussy" still has the support of women. A xenophobic man who wanted to build a wall to keep foreigners out of the country still has the support of immigrants. People still support and voted for a convicted felon, racist, rapist and scum of the earth. Despite it all, people still support and voted for Donald Trump.

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?
Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Consider this your save point.
Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.
