I did this for a friend as a commission (kinda) some time ago…. though, I wasn’t very happy with it and it was so difficult…(╥  ╥) still like to share it. You can only improve. (maybe I would do it better now (^p^)…)

The earth is a voracious fiend swallowing time as the wallowing swine eat their own filth.

Ignorance finds its’ perfect apprentice as people line up to devour themselves one lie at a time.

Spin doctors spin records reporting fictions as reality. Despite the truth people laugh say the lies feel like facts and the facts are a conspiracy.

So, refugees are terrorists. Whites become less racist then blacks. “Black Lives Matter” becomes a racist chant. Cops never lie. Every time they shoot someone the victim was definitely going for their gun and climate change is not our fault.

I sit back crying because I tried to debate this believing people are not idiots. It just seems that I am losing and the doomsday clock is not a nuclear metaphor. It is a countdown to the return of the dark ages or complete environmental annihilation.

Gaslighting is an abuse tactic, a serious and hugely detrimental thing that people have suffered through, it’s not “Hey, maybe yelling ‘kill all men’ isn’t how you go about enacting social change”. Using language intended to describe serious and horrible situations to describe mere political disagreement, using words that describe abuse to describe your political opponents, is disingenuous at best and outright malicious at worst. It belittles the real abuse, it associates descriptions of actual abuse tactics with genuine kindhearted sentiments like “don’t fight hate with hate” or political disagreement, and it vilifies your enemy in a way that is not warranted or earned by them simply to make yourself a victim and an underdog.

The people these types of sentiment are used to defend aren’t “angry” at legitimate oppression, they’re angry at strangers online or on the street, people who happen to share one physical trait with someone who they disagree with politically, or at people who happen to share one physical trait with someone who has disadvantaged or hurt them or someone who shares one physical trait with them. That’s judging people merely on their demographic; that’s bigotry.

“Don’t fight hate with hate” is said in response to rioters dragging people out of their cars and beating them because of which way that individual voted. It’s said in response to “die cis scum” and “kill all men”. It’s said in response to people advocating assassinations or people wishing natural disasters on regions that went red. It’s said in response to black people calling other black people “Uncle Tom” for having a differing opinion. It’s said in response to cop killings. It’s said in response to hateful sentiments and actions, because an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, because if everyone keeps responding with hate then the situation keeps building up and becoming more and more violent, all you achieve is creating more hateful people rather than actually changing anything that was going on.

What people are saying with “don’t fight hate with hate” is that these people are becoming everything they claim to be against - they’re targeting demographics, men, white people, cis people, straight people, for no reason besides the colour of their skin or what’s between their legs, and the individuals that they target in doing so aren’t people who’ve done anything wrong, they can be vulnerable, abused, poor, lonely, hurt people who are being attacked for nothing. What “don’t fight hate with hate” means is that justified political anger is targeted and precise, it has reasoning behind it, and it cares more about rectifying the situation than about hurting the person allegedly responsible or people similar to them; hate and bigotry, on the other hand, are thinking that entire demographics are evil or lesser; these people are using their anger as an excuse to hate and discriminate, as an excuse to cause more harm, and they’re justifying it and they’re feeling no remorse and that’s not right and that’s terrifying. Ultimately, the best response to any situation isn’t to let the anger make you hateful or bitter, it’s to be calm and practical, to find a logical solution and then channel your anger into that instead of aiming it fruitlessly at random people. That’s what we mean when we say “don’t fight hate with hate”, we mean that you are being hateful and it’s amplifying the situation and dividing people further instead of actually rectifying any problems, we mean that you’re hurting people for no reason, we mean that you’re so hateful that you can justify it at the click of a finger and think yourself the good guy, but that outsiders can see that however noble your intentions your actions are not good.

To compare that good advice, that advice that comes from a place of empathy, that advice that wants you to succeed at rectifying what made you angry and wants you to do so in the least harmful way to you and those around you, that advice that’s trying to lessen the number of individuals caught in the crossfire and told to die because of traits they cannot control and actions they did not commit… to compare that to gaslighting!? That’s an insult to abuse victims and is belittling their situation and their suffering.

And, if we’re playing the “exaggerating situations by using language meant for much more serious interpersonal issues to describe political disagreement” game, then trying to convince someone that they’re the abuser while you manipulate, shout at, insult, and in some cases physically assault them, saying that your anger is “legitimate” and therefore that they have no right to ask you to calm down and stop hurting them, is also a tactic used by abusers.

Here are some questions

When was the last time you asked if someone was okay? 

Do you believe they answered truthfully? why or why not?

So Taking a Bat To a Pumpkin Felt a Little Too Satisfying

I really don’t have anything against pumpkins, but one night a friend and I took a bat to a pumpkin mainly in the spirit of releasing stress from midterms and classes etc… The pumpkin was already going to be apart of a pumpkin smashing event at my campus but a part of me kinda feels a little guilty, getting personal with a bat rather than catapulting the 10 lb fruit/gourd with a slingshot or dropping it 15 feet on a bullseye target. Although it was undeniably more satisfying to throw out some Negan quotes and TWD references while swinging the bat, probably the best exercise I’ve gotten all week as opposed to me multitasking bio assignments and expository writing. I don’t really use this tumblr that much aside from reblogging stuff so I figured some journalistic self observation couldn’t be too unhealthy, more therapeudic than anything… idk lmao I figure why not type some stream of consciousness out and see what happens? At the end of the day; or rather beginning for that matter, I’ve already missed my morning class so “why not?” Isn’t that inappropriate of a notion.
