#this idiot: BOOTLICKER!!!!

[otakuvampyre]

Brian Thompson was not a mass murderer. Denying claims is not the same as murder. He was a CEO in a company that had a board of directors, it was highly unlikely he even had a hand in deciding which claims to deny. You're acting like he was sitting in a room with a stamp looking over each individual claim deciding which person he wanted to die.

That is fucking ludicrous.

"bootlickers." Being called a bootlicker by someone who thinks insurance not covering every claim that comes through is akin to mass murder is like being called a Nazi by someone who thinks Hamas is a group of resistance fighters. I.e. it's meaningless. Especially since you ignored the part where I was specifically against murder, but was advocating for doing things that actually helped. You are not entitled to being able to murder someone just cuz you can use mental gymnastics to paint them as the second coming of Osama Bin Laden, you freak.

Also, for your tags? My step-dad beat me regularly, mother fucker. I absolutely had abusive parents. The only parent I trusted is my mother, who never laid hands on me. Don't assume shit about my past just cuz I pointed out that your parents are shitty if they don't help you just cuz you're an adult. I survived abuse, CSA, and relentless bullying from those around me. I have more empathy for people who went through shit like I did in my pinky than you have in your entire body. So fuck off with this bullshit of acting like I'm saying "oh, it's not the health insurance system's fault, it's your fault for not having good parents." Cuz that's not even close to what I said.

Pulling strawmen out of your ass is not an argument, fuckwad.

military coming home video except the child looks straight into the camera and says "i did not consent to have my genuine love for a parent (whose flaws and wrongdoings i'm yet to discover due to my 5 year old brain) be exploited in order to spread military and imperialistic propaganda via short clips on social media"

Most of the time theyre pretty positve and upbeat, but by this point (its been quite some time since it intially fell and got captured) that positivity has slowly rotted, and cracks are showing in whats now a fairly flimsy facade. They definitely snap at some point, but rather than the 'rages and destroys everything around them' type breakdown, it goes cold. More of a 'curl into a ball and cry and feel nothing' kinda ordeal

if you think vegan food is just shit like quinoa and imported "exotic" foods you dont know jackshit about veganism outside of movie stereotypes and animal agriculture industry propaganda (which is a real thing, big surprise. capitalism is full of industry propaganda) and should inform yourself outside of that. read a fucking cookbook at this point.

I don't agree with defund the police or ACAB

Or at least I don't agree with the terms. The underlying message is good. The problem with these terms is that they obscure what we really mean in a way that makes us look more unreasonable than we really are.

Take "defund the police". What we really mean is "fund social services". @theabigailthorn made a video on policing in the UK that shows that regardless of whether the police budgets are cut under Austerity or whether police budgets balloon out of proportion like in the US, the outcome is a shitty system so long as funding for social services is low. Without funding to social services, the police wear too many hats. There is no possible way that one single group can handle all the different problems we place on the heads of the police. And that's completely ignoring that they're a white supremacist agent of state violence. Tbh when I first heard about "defund the police" I mistakenly thought that it was supposed to be some sort of punishment for the police being racist. On its surface, that sounds like the wrong approach. I'm pretty confident that that reading is what many conservatives take away when they hear "defund the police".

And then there's "ACAB". What we really mean is that "all cops are complicit" or "good cops don't last". I can't stand when people smugly say that of course ACAB is obviously not literal. If you expect the group that thinks we're all batshit insane and wholly divorced from reality for the most common sense takes to parse the nuance behind the blanket statement then you're batshit insane and wholly divorced from reality.

This is not even a bad optics argument. This is why in the heck are we spreading misinformation about our own dang beliefs that make us sound completely unreasonable.

Thoughts incoherent cuz it's too early for me still but hc that during Onslaught + Echoes Eight returns to the Empire but mostly to manage Jadus' financials and other garbage that he can't take care of all the way over in solitude, so he just returns to tend to his property and other shit, all the while playing the role of bereaved widower whose husband hasn't come back from the war so he can pretend he's too melancholic and aggrieved to get involved in current conflicts (liar). This of course, makes a lot of Sith fall for it bc when he starts swiping at his tears it gets really awkward, and it's a bad look if you ask someone's weeping spouse to fight for you instead when they're wailing about how they feel so unsafe and alone and they're just a weak little officer who needs a big strong Sith to protect them yet they will wait an eternity for Lord Jadus to return and oh woe.

The minute they leave, he drops the act.

"the navy probably knew the titan exploded the first couple of hours but they had to spend $6million of the public's money so as not to hurt the family's feelings or declassify precious gov secrets" if people did that to me after i died I'd come back from the dead to merc your asses lmfao shut the fuck up

[fox-mulder-gets-pegged]

At least once a week I think about the funeral I worked in college where it was a cop who fuckin bit it bc he was jerking off while choking himself with a belt and the moron accidentally pulled it too tight and killed himself. Nothing but respect for my troops or whatever.
