“If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime,” but you have done neither. You have stood before us and eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and our parents should have gotten us the same if we wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or eat a fish from another river. You’ve copyrighted the fishing net. It costs us fish to leave.

I’m getting really tired of the wise serene pacifist trope in fiction. Every committed pacifist, prison abolitionist, antiwar activist, etc I’ve ever met in real life has been vibrating with compressed rage at all times. Do you know what it’s like to believe deeply in your heart that doing harm to others is wrong and the goal of society should be to alleviate suffering for all people and live in the United States of America? IT’S NOT FUN. Show Us The Pissed-Off Pacifists. 

Dude there might be a word for the emotion that is forged when someone’s deep abiding love and compassion for all people and living things welds itself into decades of built-up foaming fury at how those people been treated their whole life by those in power to create a sort of alloyed super-commitment to a set of ethical principles but i promise you “tranquility” is not that fucking word

It is not the glasslike weakness of tranquility. It is a crystalized rage and determination. It is harder than diamonds. It is the soft iron forged into steel by the horrors they have observed. Pacifists are shaped by the violence around them, but rather than being pushed into a shape of nonresistance, they have turned themselves into an immovable object.

you guys don’t understand I can’t breathe whenever I read things like this I’m so sick of this man’s influence and I think it’ll take so much to unfuck all the progress he fucked up. I hate him so much and like I said before I can never see him as a meme or a joke. His damage is so unforgivable I hate this man.

"every day it gets harder to find lesbians in my area who haven't been indoctrinated into the transgender cult" that's awesome man i hope it gets harder forever

Very ironic that every single person I’ve seen complain about how that ceo shouldn’t have been shot because “every human life is precious” are the same people calling Palestinian men, women, and children collateral damage but what do I know

#yeah I don’t wanna hear anything about the sanctity of human life from a country that worships the military #on top of other things eugh
