I have begun to think about this a lot...nowadays there are some black people who have never done a hard day's work in their life, who may have been born very very upper middle class or even upper class, and are completely disconnected from the struggles of the working class! A part of me is happy about this, fifty years ago this would have been UNIMAGINABLE, at the same time, a part of me thinks "same shit different toilet" (also, i do know racial discrimination of the black community still happens, but bear with me). And a more ambitious part of me wants something similar to happen to the lgbt community, to succeed in a lot of our goals, perhaps so many that twenty or thirty years from now we could see transmasc CEOs who have never experienced transphobia and who say shitty things about immigrants on public news and whatnot, or perhaps a very popular texan nonbinary news anchor who talks shit about the fucking hippies and commies who need to take a bath and get a motherfucking haircut instead of going around carjacking with illegal immigrants >:3!!! Or a transfem lesbian who has her own podcast talking about how much she hates degeneracy in modern society and that the values of traditional gender roles and racial hierarchy have been lost by leftards >:3!! Just some funny scenarios i guess, never hurts to dream! Message me if you want to like, roleplay one of these, or talk about anything else to be honest.

We are going to have to become the Counter Culture starting now, but we are going to have to Gate Keep it to keep out the Republicans, 3rd Party Voters, and people who refuse to vote. Hell let's have a list of names to block when it comes to these motherfuckers. You fucks ruined any chance we had towards progress. You all don't get to be part of the rebellion.

To start with we need to be a bit like Doomsday Preppers in the fact we need to start saving canned foods to ensure we don't starve because of the Republicans.

Secondly we need to learn how to sew and/or settle for a very rugged look - think old school Goth and Punk.

Let's keep our hair short. Fuck Republican Norms.

Air purifiers. Shits gonna get toxic up in this bitch because Republicans hate science, speaking of which let's all learn a bit of science while we can, read banned books too!

Gardening is another thing, but only do so if you have the means, and remember to share with your fellow rebels.

The Goth, Hippy and Punk cultures are going to be coming back with a vengeance. As they say, there is always a resurgence with culture, but I doubt they meant it like this.

The first cultural rebellion was the Romantic Literature Era. The second was the Gothic Literature Era. Let's out do every single counter culture and then some.

Let's make counter culture history with this shit.

Get involved in local politics. Start helping people when you can.

Hell go #vanlife if you have to. Do what you can. But remember, get involved in local politics and local rebellions.

Blast Kendrick Lamar's Alright at full volume.

Don't let your kid be forced to go to religious institutions where they'll be forced to put up with Republican bullshit.

Become ungovernable.

Don't go out silently into the night.

Go out like a rabid hyena that is on LSD and Crack.

But most importantly, get involved with local politics. Let's chip away Republicans and their shit values. Vandalize their shitty religious institutions.

Religion was never meant to mix with politics. Let's force them out of it.

fuck don henley but "on the road today i saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac" is one of the lines of all time

[whywishesarehorses]

im kind of losing my mind at the wording ppl who are mad at the BoLM or the ppl wanting smth to be done bout the brumbies down here are using, "they represent the soul of the country, theyre wild and free, the heart of the country" THEYRE ENGLISH???? OR SPANISH. how on earth are spanish/brit horses meant to represent freedom in the us and aus, what are people on???

People get WEIRD about it real fast. I don't love it. something something manifest destiny; the USA west was conquered on the back of the horse something something

Okay I'm about to be really honest and a little mean :/

I have always loved the aesthetics of like.. witchy/hippie/spiritual neopagan or whatever stuff, like fucking with crystals and candles and smoking a lot of weed and talking about the universe or whatever. But I have only ever been interested in these things purely for fun, I have never been very religious in general, but I just like wearing loose clothing and buying pretty rocks and pretending they do something because everything is meaningless so why not have a little fun with life, you know? Invent some meaning.

But I have hung around so many people in that subculture and I have just concluded.. that I am simply not stupid enough to be part of that lifestyle :/

I said it was mean, I know, I know, but like, I have had so many self proclaimed hippy/wook friends and I feel like every time the experience is just me repeatedly trying to convince them not to poison themselves or having to explain basic chemistry or basic physics or, fuck, basic fucking psychology to them so they don't hurt themselves or get scammed or make their life worse in some way while trying to ""manifest"" good things.

The last straw was my most recent roommate starting to get into that stuff and I was onboard and supportive at first, and even tried to join in, cause again, I just think it's harmless fun for the most part. And she seemed nervous about it at first like she had used to think it was dumb, and I was like "nah, even if it isnt real, whats the harm? It's nice to do little rituals sometimes even if you dont believe in them!" and the way we had talked about it, it seemed like she agreed. Until she started getting really into it and taking it way too seriously and she started buying a new candle like every week to try to do fucking spells to make her life better, which culminated in her leaving a fucking candle burning OVERNIGHT while we were both gone, in the MIDDLE OF OUR PLASTIC FUCKING BATHTUB and almost BURNT MY HOUSE DOWN (again!) And after that I had to sheepishly tell her that I was not comfortable having open flames in the house anymore because I had already had a housefire in 2020 and we lived in a trailer (a highly flammable box) and I didnt want to go through that again. (At which she huffily resented me, despite the fact the endangered our fucking pets and livelihood with her stupid ""spells"" that didnt even fucking work.)

So yeah, after that, I am just done, like I feel like I can't even entertain the people who believe in that shit anymore. I have known too many people who heavily judge people based on star signs, who can't make any decisions without a tarot reading, who get duped into buying snake oil shit that they think is the goddamn philosopher's stone??? Like sure, it's all "just harmless fun" until it isn't anymore, and you're doing tangible damage to your body or your relationships. Not to mention almost every person I've met who preaches about how loving and open and chill they are and how everybody needs to ride the wave or whatever always ends up being one of the most self-centered, manipulative human fucking dumpster fires I ever known.

Like I hate to call a whole.. genre of people or whatever stupid, but I have just not seen good things from this subculture. But also I feel like there is a certain type of person who gets really pulled into that kind of shit. In my experience they are usually formerly Christian, and spent much of their life Believing In Something really hard until suddenly they come to the realization that it was all a lie and lose their faith completely, but I feel like deep down they still have this desire to believe in a higher power, to believe in a universe in which you can ask for something and be granted it. They need an outlet for all that faith, so they turn to the witchy shit and the concept of "the universe" as a deity and I feel like 90% of the people I know who practice those sort of things are just essentially doing Christian rituals under a different name and format. Like the spell candles? Those are just prayer candles, they're literally sold as prayer candles, too, most of them have pictures of fucking Mary or Jesus on them. Or the idea that you can manifest anything by just.. thinking about it hard enough? That's just.. praying. The idea that we are all one consciousness and we can connect with the universe just sounds like the Christian concept that "god is in everything." Granted there is a lot of borrowing from other religions too and a common belief amongst this crowd is that all religions are secretly the same, just warped into different variations over time, but even that concept is very culturally Christian.

And I don't want to make the implication that I think all Christians are equally stupid, I'm not saying the reason they're dumb is because they are former Christians. Some of the most intelligent and well-rounded people I have known, who I immensely respect, were still Christians, and I don't think any less of them. Just wanted to nip that in the bud, so it doesn't seem like I'm conflating the two, I just find it interesting how that seems to be a pattern amongst the people I know who have been the most "devout" followers of the.. hippie/witchy/whatever lifestyle. Like you just traded your blind belief in what you were told as a child for your blind belief in what you think while you're high. 🤷‍♀️

yeah i think nolan’s type aesthetically is a conservative on an acid trip. don’t speak. sit with it. mull it over. if u don’t see the vision that’s ur own problem but this is the correct answer. you’ll see it eventually but by then i won’t be accepting apologies. conservative on an acid trip.

I say this a good bit.. but some of you are so fucking funny.

The moment you said "conservative on an acid trip." For some reason these images pop up in my head... but then when you look at them... they just radiate gay lesbian hippie???

My dad once accused me of smoking weed in his house because I was burning incense and I had to explain to him that I truly just like the smell of patchouli. I’m pretty sure he would have been less disappointed if I had been actually smoking weed.

Just found a conservative website with pretty detailed reviews of Dracula adaptations and the 1979 movie was described as "This movie is what happens when hippies take control of the production." I can't take literally anything about this adaptation seriously and this line still made me go "yes.jpg"

It turns out that my longtime suspicions were correct: James Hart was inspired to write his screenplay that eventually became Coppola's movie by Langella's performance, just not in the movie but the play it was based on. The 1979 movie itself was also inspired by the said performance, which makes Langella a much more important figure in the development of the Dracula myth that I initially thought. Which is quite ironic considering that his movie is quite obscure now in comparison with many other Dracula adaptations.

it’s wild that condescending alt-right dudes with their confederate beards think they have some ownership of Tolkien when hippies called dibs on his work almost sixty years ago
