it is simply not possible to talk honestly about the current state of societal decay, the need for change on a scale and in a timeframe that almost beggars imagination--it certainly staggers MINE! I don't know how to fix things yet!--without pissing a lot of people the fuck off

and you know what? more people should _accept_ that. I'll just say that outright. more people need to LEARN HOW TO BE ANGRY

to control anger and direct it, instead of merely thinking, "oh gosh I feel angry this is bad how dare you make me feel angry"

our political enemies have weaponized their anger with consummate skill. I feel like a lot of people don't grasp that. they don't understand how the "conservatives"--how the FASCISTS, let's be honest, for all "conservatives" are essentially fascistic when push comes to shove--are *entirely* creatures of impulse. they are, collectively, an unleashed id. when they want something they go for it and they don't stop. they can't be reasoned with, because they've enslaved their reasoning to their id. the only purpose their analytical minds serve is to come up with rationales for why their desires are the only correct ones

now of course I don't think that's any way to live, but the _opposite_ error, to try to make _everything_ sober and reasoned and analytical, is also a mistake

sometimes anger is the _correct_ response. sometimes anger is the _moral_ response

and the same can be said of _inflicting_ anger

sometimes it's the only right thing to do

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see--"

Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci!"

Doctor looks up. "Let me finish! I was going to recommend you skip Pagliacci and watch Cavalleria Rusticana, it's the better opera."

[*] in truth a piece of fan art for the extremely bishounen Fate franchise depictions of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. source of artwork completely indeterminable

it really says something about how goddamn rotten our culture is, how it's really just _internalized_ authoritarianism and repression, that someone can say "huh isn't heaving a milkshake at a fascist JUST AS BAD as being a fascist"

white culture teaches us that nothing matters except good manners, so being ill-mannered towards a fascist is bad, while actually BEING a fascist is ok as long as you cloak it with politeness

white culture doesn't mind a *polite* suuporter of genocide

there we go

@Alyx will be starting to share "fronting" duty with me #pluralgang

`>` has been used to indicate quotes for longer than I have been alive. Like, literally, "son of RFC 1036" (http://kirste.userpage.fu-berlin.de/outerspace/netnews/son-of-1036.html#4.3.2) which suggested it as a standard is 7 months older than this body.

Don't help fascists with their goal of co-opting universally understood language and symbols. Resist that shit as best you can, don't drop things on a dime.

I feel vindicated btw in my old crush on Brendan Fraser

🦄 a courteous reminder that "poly" is deprecated as a colloquial abbreviation for "polyamorous", because it collides with its usage by the Polynesian community

@apLundell @Taweret I would hope for something slightly more deft, like... "these wars among the stars...these *star wars*, if you will..."

on this admittedly somewhat synthetic and commercialized day set aside for celebration of motherhood, let us remember that not everyone has had happy experiences of mothers

some of us had mothers who, though they tried their best, were strange and hostile to us...figures that inspired not comfort but fear
