i will cashapp $10 to the first person who can name 3 real life harmful things bob bryar did without accusing him of thought crime
#wordvomit#this isnt to say the things he said or thought are good or justifiable- just to point out that he never ACTED on them in any capacity#meanwhile he is being socially prosecuted to the extent as if he has. during such an awful time for his loved ones who are the only ones#who will be exposed to all this hate. possibly including the members of mcr#i understand thinking the things he said are sick and disliking him and being uncomfortable at the discussion but.#i dont understand how you can honestly morally justify half of the stuff people have been saying- like 'he deserved it' and whatnot#without contradicting the 'thoughtcrime isnt real' sentiment i see get thrown around so often ?#isnt the Overarching issue with conservatism as a whole not the idea of . moral purity and puritanism and#'everyone. everything and every idea ontologically different from mine and my communities-#they are objectively worse and i deserve power over them as retribution for what they've done'#ie colonialism. racism. yadda yadda#these are false comparatives bc discrimination based on unchangeable factors vs backlash to opinion is vry different but i still think#the core idea of 'no one who has not enacted harm deserves harm wished on them' kinda shines through it all#and there is a semantic debate to be had about the definition of harm but in this case i am using it to mean anything more Tangible#something that has a wider influence than 'the people who read/heard it were upset and uncomfortable' yea ?#im been waffling about this a lot and why it hasnt been sitting right with me as someone who is incredibly uncomfortable with a lot of his#final statements#it just reminds me so much of my dad and what ive watched him go through#as well as other people in my community during the pandemic#i cant disconnect myself from the humanity of that. especially while condemning him for lacking humanity

i had a pretty busy day at work. coming back to tumblr to see that people are trying to talk around being racist again is something i don't have the energy for. being white passing doesn't make you white or erase your heritage and racial/ethnic background. europe and especially eastern europe has a very different experience with racism than the states.
it's okay to not be educated about something, it's not okay to stay that way and try to "correct" people who actually know what they're talking about.
#the fact that there is even discourse around this is embarrassing#sincerely: someone who is white passing but belongs to a group that is still today in the year of our lord 2024 being segregated in schools#the very same one that europe likes to deem 'the last acceptable form of racism' to discriminate against#<< this is a genuine phrase btw#anyway you are showing your asses again just like you did this entire summer and before - so nothing new there i guess#ramblings#my stuff

No but seriously it IS so sad and such a futile action to try talking to people online these days bc you can try to make the point ”my whole outlook on life is changing, and re-prioritizing what and who you support and forging new friendships and getting to talk to likeminded people @ protests or via endeavours online is a good thing actually. it’s a good thing to try, it benefits everyone - if your mental health is improving somewhat it helps you to keep doing things and your community and also yourself long term” and they’ll be like ”oh so you want (idol/celebrity) TO DIE IS THAT WHAT youre saying, racist!!!!??” like, respectfully, bitch are you stupid??? try not to deflect from the topic. please practice reading comprehension, and then keep going with compassion and growing personal morals because you really need all three…
#anyone else losing respect for 95% of people on social media these days bc its very clear where their priorities lie….#and idk i guess its futile to try to talk to some people but it still makes me extremely sad…..#its the wilful ignorance and toxic positivity for me - upholding the status quo because its Normal and Good 😊#for YOU karen……. please have a look around#months ago i saw this tweet that i will Not stop thinking about for the rest of my life probably….#that ppl need to realise that while therapy and ~self-care and anti-depressants arent bad things of course#they wont change the fact that the world around you is still an absolute nightmare#and ofc especially for people who dont have access to any of these things#overconsumption… climate change… racism… transphobia…. genocide and colonialism… animal cruelty….#and you should NOT stop complaining about those things making you deeply upset#because not only are you allowed to its important that YOU DO
