#also I'm not gonna forget the fact that black bloggers have been pointing out that everyone has been misusing the word ''woke''

[tittyinfinity]

I've noticed that the vast majority of people that I've come across who hold this "vote blue no matter who" opinion are white.

And I know firsthand that a major part of white USamerican culture is making sure that white people stay comfortable. And I don't just mean that as far as politics - white families even expect their family members to never bring up any topics that make them uncomfortable, lest you be accused of "ruining the mood." I can't talk about disability rights without getting scolded on how my complaints "turn everything too negative." And just because you have progressed further left than your white family members does not mean you have completely unpacked just how much USAmerican society is based on your white personal comfort.

There are white people being oppressed for their gender, sexuality, and disabilities, yes. But any issue we face, BIPOC are affected by twice as hard. But again, because of White Comfort, we have to pretend like we're all equally oppressed for these issues. "Omg don't make it into a race thing, don't play oppression olympics, we're all in this together!"

If we're all in this together then "together" should include allowing them to safely voice their opinions. Even if you don't agree with them.

the fact that there has been never-ending genocide from the US ever since it was was "founded" and we're still gonna believe that electoral politics can save us just because they haven't committed genocide towards the able-bodied white people living here "yet" is extremely concerning in terms of seeing just how far we'll let democrats go as long as the genocide goes to someone else. I guess we're gonna completely forget about the BIPOC and disabled people who have already been dealing with murder & oppression here in this country for hundreds of years. Let's just forget about the fact that we still have camps at the Mexican border to throw people in while stealing their children and adopting them out to white families. Let's just forget about the fact that the government still poisons the water in black neighborhoods. Let's just ignore that our government allows disabled people to suffer and die because of lack of access to healthcare, money, and accessibility in general. ESPECIALLY disabled BIPOC. Let's just ignore how Native Americans haven't stopped dealing with genocide ever since the first white man showed up.

People here who have been continuously oppressed throughout every presidency have been trying to tell everyone this for years. I noticed a lot of the BIPOC bloggers I used to follow are no longer active on their accounts, because Y'ALL DROVE THEM OFF THE WEBSITE. Because you put this expectation on them to be super polite about their criticism of the government lest they be accused of being too rude or angry, which is literally a racist talking point that has been used to suppress the voices of black women. Many of them being accused of being "Russian psyops." A lot of white people posting about supporting BLM while telling POC to shut up every time they criticize our system.

How many more years do we need to wait for liberation just to make sure those of us who aren't who aren't impacted can be comfortable, because "at least that's less genocide?"

And I can't speak for every disabled person, but my life has gotten significantly worse under Biden than it did Trump because he's doing nothing to stop the inflation crisis. They give me $760 a month. And that was after I spent a year fighting to get it raised from $700. But then they also took away $100 of my food stamps right after raising my SSI, and this month, they reduced it by $70 more. So they actually took $110 a month AWAY from me. I won't give Trump any credit for it, but I got enough food stamps to feed my entire family of 5 at the time, and now, with a total of $170 less food stamps for the month added onto how food prices are skyrocketing, I can't even feed my family of THREE for two weeks. I'm living at my mom's because I lost the ability to afford the $100 increase in my rent. I'm starting to think maybe the presidential election doesn't matter much if neither candidate can stop bad shit from happening and keep INCITING it instead

i can't shut up i'm sorry I'm ranting about Biden again

I'm starting to think Trump's presidency really wasn't any worse than what we have going on now, he was just targeting different people.

Bear with me.

The thing is, Biden has been the president for most of the pandemic and he hasn't been doing anything to stop the spread of it, so when people say "but Trump would kill US here!!" I wanna mention that Biden is already killing people of all parts of the political spectrum with his passiveness on covid

Biden is smarter than Trump. He's been in politics longer. He has had decades of learning how to maneuver politics. He has agreed with a lot of bad policies, many more than Trump even had the ability to do w his only 4 years of presidency. Trump is more interested in his image than anything else. Which is also dangerous! But it's much easier to convince people that Trump, a guy who is loud about his prejudices and caused a lot of damage because of that, is worse than a guy who pretends to agree with you on issues and then commits literal genocide.

Like I said, it just changes who is targeted instead. But is that really the case? We're already being targeted in different ways. A few good things have passed under Biden! But we also lost more bodily autonomy rights as far as abortion and trans rights go (not everywhere, but many states have become dangerous to live in). "That's not completely his fault" sure! Well then if the president doesn't have the power to change things truly for the better themselves, then worrying about who the president will be doesn't really matter. Also, presidents in the US have the ability to make executive orders.

And maybe he has spoken up on these things more and I just haven't heard about them - but Biden does not take the time to speak out about the anti-abortion, anti-trans, or healthcare related issues, except for the occasional quip here and there before he goes right back to not giving a shit. And I'm only using those as an example because a lot of "vote blue no matter who" people apparently only care about what happens to people here instead of in other countries.

And it's just really shitty to say "well what about the people who COULD die under a republican presidency instead of the real people dying from Biden's incitement of genocide right now!"

Trump incited a LOT of hatred in our country, yes. It pushed people to be more loud and open about their prejudices. But the deaths caused by hate crimes and COVID here in America were not on near of a large and deadly scale as what Biden is doing right now. We didn't watch our entire cities get destroyed and have our entire families wiped out.

So it seems, again, like the "vote blue no matter who" crowd only cares about politics when it comes to how THEY will (or MIGHT) be affected.

Am I saying vote for Trump or DeSantis? Fuck no. I'm saying prevent the next election from happening and burn this imperialistic genocidal government to the ground. The US has caused enough death, well into the millions, ever since it was created, and hasn't ever stopped committing genocide. But it only seems to matter when it (COULD) happen to white Americans.

Mexican people are still being put in cages and having their children stolen, too.

Indigenous people are still being murdered.

Disabled people are still dying from lack of accessible healthcare.

And the prices of everything have SKYROCKETED since Biden became president.

People are already suffering under a democratic president. You just won't care until it happens to you.

The way I can tell the strikes have been delaying things to long for some of the buddie bloggers who can’t separate the characters from the actors is by how they recently have handled this wedding and Ryan and can clearly tell they need some to spec about. Acting like everything is a big puzzle with hidden meaning. I saw one person say Ryan wore dark glasses outside to hide the sadness behind his eyes. Someone else pointed out it was probably just because they were outside and the sun was bright and not that deep and then got immediately attacked and mocked because if it’s not that deep why do they need to say it’s because of the sun and not to hide his sadness . Another person said he was wearing black at the wedding to symbolizing (yes they actually used the word symbolizing) the death of his and c’s marriage ☠️ just today I saw someone say Oliver got the actress who played Natalia her job and C started following the 911abc page so the two events are related and now Ryan is getting C a job on the show as Eddie’s love interest because Oliver did it. Like blows my mind a little. Like they see clues everywhere ☠️

I- What. I'm not gonna call anyone names because I'm sure I can guess where these comments originate and op is just posting other people's opinions - opinions that they won't own on main, at that. Let's break it all down. o1. Unless someone discloses information about the *actual* dynamic between themselves and their partner who is not a good fit, they are making a CHOICE to stay. R is not a victim in any of this. Pointing out faults or bad behavior reflects on him and his choice to start a family with her. Trying to spread rumors about the behind the scenes happenings won't change what's led up to this point to make many of us realize where his ideals and priorities lie.

It's not on the same level because he's no where near as famous, but the R apologists sound just like Captain America's followers who pick on his new bride in order to avoid addressing what committing to a much younger white woman means re: separating fact from fiction. o2. There is zero evidence to support the claim that Oliver got anybody a job, and if there had been we'd know about it because those stans are always waiting around for content. Now, if you want to say he maybe got her into the audition process? Maybe offered her name as a suggestion? Fine. But she still had to audition. And they still chose her. As far as a "lack of chemistry" is concerned...I'm withholding judgement because, lbr, you can't build or find chemistry when one of your appearances is about your boyfriend's past relationships. Also, #unpopularopinion, but if the show wasn't gonna go with Buddie, I don't care who Buck ends up with 'cause he's never been my favorite. If working with Annelise makes for a more pleasant experience compared to completely ignoring BT as season five got going...good on Oliver for having fun this time around. o3. What is the obsession with writing the wife into the show? In five seasons all he got her was a background role for one of Eddie's fights. They did the same last season when we heard about filming the bodybuilding comp - "Do you think C is gonna have a guest spot since she's been doing that irl???" It's like people WANT something else to happen so they can twist the truth and say she "forced" her way onto set rather than him *asking* if there's something for her to do. And btw, she doesn't need to be in an episode to stay close. "Take wifey to work day", remember? I may not care for the wife, but if he truly were the "better person" as fandom as declared, he's the one looking dumb for forgetting who he is as soon as he found her on ig. She hasn't lost anything yet because he won't leave.
