She Sure Is A Sunfish And Sonuva Gun

People should care about the truth, and the fact that too many members of the press lined up to lie to the public and enable Trump's victory (again). I will never stop being angry about the entire second half of 2024, and I'm right about that!

It's been almost exactly 2 years since the same media killed Biden's presidency over the debate btw (the same debate where Trump babbled like a lunatic, but that's ok cuz he was sooo funneeeeee and not cringeeee like stutter icky old man :///)

It’s also similar to kiwifarms in that those trolls are pathetic irl, because you have to be a pathetic person to sit around and essentially join a hate fandom for people. Well tumblr’s general user base is just that meme about the nerd in school finally getting to be the bully this time. Anti-fandom is so much more terminally online than fandom, but like the trolls mocking lolcows, tumblr bloggers think dunking on people empowers them and makes them cool. It’s all a way to gain social capital for very mean-spirited people who are trying to differentiate themselves from other, Cringe bloggers on this fringe, bizarre website lol

Harassing and mocking people for years is not mentally healthy. It is exhibiting defect, in character and healthy social behavior in this case. It is not behavior considered safe, healthy, or optimal. It is maladjusted. It is bizarre. It is suboptimal. It is dysfunctional. It is abnormal lol. I said what I meant and meant what I said. Words have many meanings.

Every fucking day, men log on and loudly say with their full chests that they support rapists and abusers for positions of power because they associate the Democratic Party with evil, cringe, nagging women who might hold them accountable (as creepy men are reported to HR), and yet all the pearl-clutching is reserved for women who are fed up and aren't niceys to men online. mhm. ok.

I think the short answer for why there were regretful Nader voters but not regretful '16 or '24 Stein voters or anti-voters is online radicalization tbh. Back in 2000, you didn't have the entire internet constantly blasting "Dems suck shit" in your face for years on end, or an online community of self-righteous assholes constantly reassuring you that your indefensible, immoral decision on Election Day was akshewally radically progressive praxis and that you're a poor little meow meow who couldn't ever do anything wrong. It's just a daily echo chamber where people can be insulated from the consequences of their bad choices to a certain extent and coddled that they were sooooo right and everyone else is just a filthy [insert leftist buzzwords here] for pointing to the blood on their hands. Relatedly, you could say Republicans sucked in 2000 without all the cool kids immediately feeling the need to reassure everyone they still thought Democrats were Cringe, too. The culture was just different back then, and current, modern internet culture dictates that Republicans aren’t great but they’re a force of nature who can’t really be held accountable, but Democrats are the ultimate force of Cringe and evil in the world who must be taken down at all costs and you’re the ultimate genocidal cringe lord if you voice any support for them in any way. I also think internet echo chambers encourage people to double down and never admit they were wrong across the political spectrum

and that just feels like an encapsulation of tumblr on a small scale

and that also feels like an encapsulation of tumblr on a small scale

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

the way it all boils down to this......
