America: *destroys a country*
America: Damn…this country needs some help. these poor people….
America: *destroys it again*
America: Yikes, there’s no helping here
I don’t know why but this exchange fills me with joy to be alive
Man, could you imagine if the Japanese had forcefully colonized places against the will of the PoCs already living there? Haha, they’re so polite though, that would never happen.
Magneto is an ethnic separatist and all of y'all’s political analyses of X-Men are horrible
I haven’t read any comic books but in the movies he literally tries to exterminate all humans on several occasions. I get that he has understandable motivations or whatever but like, genocide is bad even when it’s retaliatory genocide.
plus there are mutants with the literal power of killing everyone around themselves with no control whatsoever, of course that shit should be regulated
Nice to see someone else admitting that human rights are contingent on certain facts about humans.
honestly the more time i spend on tumblr and especially in discourse hell, the more i appreciate the simple ass allies whose only opinion is “being gay isnt wrong” its so refreshing to remember that most people irl have no idea what 90% of all yalls made up nonsense means
#yes#not that more niche issues/identities are made-up nonsense#they are not#but splitting hairs all the damn time is so crazymaking
from someone who does have a niche identity, for the purposes of this conversation: no, niche identities aren’t made up, what’s made up is acting like every identity has its own specific and separate set of needs and oppressions, then trying to implement that needlessly and super complicated tangle of demands as a coherent political programme, instead of working on having a good lgbt coalition and fighting for specific rights that many different groups are missing. or even worse, giving up completely on having a coherent set of goals like this arrogant arse:
and to think i used to like calling myself queer …
That quoted passage reads like someone who wrapped all things they don’t like up into one big ball, thus forgetting that social hierarchies are not only caused by Capitalism.
Sometimes I wish tumblr had a downvote option to allow me to go hog-wild in fucking over fascist / anti-sjw / 4chan blogs.
Right, because that works so well on reddit…
Haha, in about ten minutes, downvotes would become a badge of pride, showing how successful the blog was at annoying people like OP. Plus the dumb call-out posts would immediately begin downvoting random fifteen year old girls into oblivion for not liking the right SU ship.
In a world of superpowers, you are the anomaly. After years of being bullied and being called ‘freak’, you finally can’t take it anymore and reveal your immensely powerful superpower
I looked at him as he picked up the phone. This hadn’t been the first time I’d used my powers, and it wouldn’t be the last, but usually I’d used them sparingly, it at all.
“What have you done, boy?” A man’s voice cracked out of the phone.
“What- Dad, what happened?” The boy asked.
“The house, boy! The house is gone! Big fence around the whole lot, they won’t even let us in, they’re saying the city has rezoned it as a toxic waste dump! Who did you piss off, son?” The man said.
The boy looked back at me.
Junior Municipal Master. The city itself - its concrete, its steel, its trees, and its zoning ordinances, bent to my will as easily as other people could throw fire or fly.
And he knew. The few who could knit the cities back together into something approximating housing and industry, after all the combat tore them up each day, well. The government needed them more than just another boy who could fight.
The ancients who wished to illustrate illustrious virtue throughout the Kingdom, first ordered well their own states. Wishing to order well their states, they first regulated their families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons. Wishing to cultivate their persons, they first rectified their hearts. Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Wishing to extend their knowledge, they first started browsing Tumblr.
The Great Learning except the intro is replaced with LISTEN UP BITCHES TIME TO LEARN YOU SOME FACTS

“rectify your blog” should be the new “pee your pants”
If this sounds like some bullshit they’d pull in Singapore, that’s not an accident.
Sovereignty is won by force. Every murder, every bombing, every acid attack undermines the legitimacy of the state. Why listen to the government when someone else could kill you just as easily?
@wirehead-wannabe I’m still not sure why you’d read this blog as seeming right-wing. Sounds pretty improbable to me.
Anonymous asked:
Why do you think it is that the discourse in general talks about economic inequality from technology driven labor obsolescence as a force of nature? We can, it seems, make pretty good predictions with how technology will advance over time but a lot of people seem to think certain social effects are inherently tied to them when we are the ones who will be deciding what moves to make next aside from unexpected events i.e. a massive earthquake disrupts infrastructure in a huge way or something

I mean “we” decide but in a distributed and uncoordinated way that feels like an unstoppable force of nature.
Did “we” decide to redesign our entire lives around car transport at an official meeting in the early 20th century, for example.
At least The Onion is benefiting
why does Scaramucci look exactly like the actor you would cast in a movie to play himself
