thinking out loud | shifting community rant idk !? 𖹭 (long post)
block me if you disagree, lad. script me out of your reality if you wish. these are just my thoughts and opinions. comments & asks attacking me will be posted, made into a digital trophy of my digital impact, and then swiftly deleted. anyways . . . go read this post or . . . scroll or something. 🫧
I made this post on like....04/06/26. it's only just now being published. sooo.....keep that in mind ig. I also wrote most of this when I was angry. so if I sound harsh or mean, I am very sorry! I just get very frustrated with these topics in general.
is it safe to say that I think some shifters wanna act morally superior? I don't truely think a lot of shifters actually believe or practice what they say. or ever actually question what they disagree with. or what certain things actually mean when it comes to broader concepts. like nuance and critical thinking. I think some shifters have bad drs they never post about or say anything about. I think some shifters just go along with "x thing is bad" because someone told them it was. not that they actually believe that it is.
some shifters also wanna act like they're smarter than other shifters to feel better abt themselves too. this isn't targeted. just something I thought I'd say. and it's something I just think about a lot. there's also a lot of back and forth on "you can have whatever you wish and you are limitless" and "you actually aren't limitless and you actually can't have whatever you want." imo, if you're gonna preach something, actually stay internally consistent.
you can't say people are limitless, but place limits onto others that exist in the vacuum of your personal opinions, of what they should do. your opinions (unfortunately) do not matter if we're talking about the multiverse. and depending on what ones you have, they're probably irrelevant. because things happen and exist without your input. perception/awareness is forever expansive, due to the thousands of people coexisting all the fucking time. ideas and beliefs are different. beliefs (as many state) change the experiences you have with both manifesting and shifting. what you view as impossible or improbable doesn't matter. it's improbable and impossible for YOU. not everyone else. the limit truely does not exist if the MULTIverse is unlimited. you make up the limit.
it's like saying, "there are infinite numbers.....but you're not allowed to use 9...or 10....or...12." <- this is fine....if you apply it to yourself. this is not a universal truth and it doesn't even make sense for it to exist in something that is inherently supposed to be unlimited. i'm also i'm not trying to hurt people's feelings by saying their opinions don't matter. i'm just saying, on the logical base related to the multiverse....they literally just don't. i'm not arguing morality.
personal opinions are irrelevant when it comes to the framework of the multiverse because things exist, no matter how much people don't like them. i'm not saying people can't have opinions or that their opinions don't matter on a social level. i'm saying they don't matter on the logical framework of the expansive multiverse. in a nutshell: personal belief = local effect. multiversal = non local.
there's also hundreds and I mean HUNDREDS of fucking morality olympics. almost yearly now. but I'm not surprised because this is a niche, mostly progressive, and mostly teen infested side of the internet. and when these spaces are introduced to anything that requires critical thinking or nuance (especially if it's taboo), it goes to hell immediately. this is not saying that progressives are bad. I literally am a progressive myself. i'm a leftist. this is literally the cycle:
new idea/topic emerges -> people run to label it good/bad -> the takes around it get more and more extreme over time -> callouts and discourse explodes -> community splits -> repeat next month/year
why? because the actual issue is more about identity, belonging, and control over the narrative. whether it's theirs or another persons. it becomes less about using the logical mechanics of shifting to understand the nuances. it turns into proving you're a good person, outing someone else as a bad person in order to be altruistic, forcing internal opinions and agendas as universal truths, etcetera. and don't even get me started because I KNOW. I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE ABOUT TO ARGUE ETHICS! so let me tackle that before y'all even try to burn me alive.
I personally don't give a fuck where people choose to shift to. because there's nothing I or anyone else can actually do about it. the only thing I can truly focus on is my own journey and what I'm planning on doing. attacking people, or putting them on blast does not always change the way that they approach things, or delete the notion script off their phone. obviously there are going to be unethical people. i'm not saying that people should be having murderous, incestuous, horrible drs. okay? that's weird. I admit. but what are you going to do about it. seriously? what are you going to do about it. there is no real block you can make between them and their desired realities. so the yelling, kicking, and screaming is practically pointless.
I don't care because I don't feel like it's any of my business and what is there to do besides loose sleep over another person's choices? you know what I can do? block them. or script them out of my reality completely. and the grand question is, “should they be shifting here?” who knows. maybe they shouldn't be. maybe the answer is an obvious no. either way, what can we ACTUALLY do besides control what's currently in our own space? I do understand not wanting these shifters in the community. and that's valid for sure. of course ethics matter. but the ethical choices are up to the person/shifter to make. shifting itself knows no bounds or limits. it simply is. and those choices exist. whether we want people to make them or not. BUUUUT! I SHALL SAY : if you have a controversial dr....and you talk about it publicly....you should be looking forward to backlash. and maybe you should be reevaluating your choices. buuuut....I digress.
and on social media (mostly tumblr than shifttok) there this weird idolization that people do as well towards other shifters?? like they become ‘popular’ shifters? which leads me to believe that the purpose and focus of actually shifting is dissolving. ever so slowly. like....I thought we were supposed to be getting to our desired realities....why are we hopping dick on a random user who cannot make you shift, more or less actually knows you? 🤨 im not gonna sit here and say that fame isn't appealing (I have like 4+ fame drs, let's be real now). but its still a little surprising or weird to see. because it's almost like some of us have completely lost the plot. the more distracted you are from your goal, the more you're gonna be “stagnant”.
and don't even get me started on the mean ass shifters on this app, and shifttok bro. there are a lot of ‘popular’ shifters on here that are insanely rude, mean, and harsh for no reason. it's like the attention they get goes to their heads, and all of the sudden they're above everyone else, and can treat anyone how they want. it's weird. getting likes on a shiftblr post doesn't make you better than anyone, or give you an excuse to be mean. that's just lame. THIS POST HERE PUTS HOW I FEEL EXACTLY INTO WORDS BRO. <- I came across this post like a month after making this one. we are NOT one big happy family, I don't like some of you at all 😭
tumblr is....kind of chill? (I take this back now 06/26/26) but some people do get on my nerves occasionally because, with some posts im just like....“this could have stayed in the drafts.” and it's mostly just weird opinions that people have. I forget that I'm 17 and mentally like 53. and a lot of shifters are probably younger than me. and aren't as mature as me especially when it comes to dealing with conflict....yes we're getting into drama territory now. I admit, drama can be entertaining. MORE EVER, it could be solved insanely easily. you do not have to talk to each other through reblogs 💀. and maybe you could just take a second to cool down before you say something awful? why does everything have to be so dramatic? you know what would solve a lot of things? talking it out in dms. and if that doesn't work? go ahead and block. or better yet, DON'T RESPOND AT ALL!
making a snide post about someone is cowardly and bitchy. especially if you decide to block them so they can't respond. if you have an issue with someone, either tell them, tell your notes app, or a friend. do not go to a confessions blog (I learned the hard way). AND DO NOT GO INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S ASKS AS AN ANON. TAKE THE ANON OFF IF YOU'RE REALLY FEELING BOLD. what is wrong with you? what I like to do is go to capcut, record myself ranting, and then after I'm done, I'll just listen to it back. it's funny to see how heated I was. or I just rant to myself for hours on end. and that seems to do it. or I talk to rant to myself, while day dreaming about me actually ranting to my s/o. or I make a really long post like this and I either keep it in my drafts, keep it in my notes app, or I post it and then delete it. but with this one I think I'm going to post it and keep it uo. i'm not really sure thought sure though?
the drama is literally so pointless, but I'm not surprised that it happens because again, this is a teen infested side of the internet. not that that's a bad thing I'm literally a teen myself (17. technically an adult but you know) . I'm just saying when you put teens in place on the internet together, they'll have a lot of opinions and thoughts about things. and that's going to turn into thoughts and opinions about other people, and not everyone has a lot of maturity to really control what they're about to say. or how to deal with the conflict that comes with it.
this was my soapbox. bye. get outta here if you don't like the speech, stay if you have thoughts, or wish to throw popcorn and Skittles in my mouth as a commemoration.
