Why do people stop commenting on fics if they’re more than a week or two old? Please comment on old fics. Tell me you like my one shot from 2014. Tell me you like my old multi-chap I finished in 2016 that I spent a year writing. I will be fucking thrilled.

IME, a lot of these people generally have issues distinguishing between fiction and reality, and often believe things that are blatantly, factually wrong.

I think they're projecting.

Fandom Problem #4635:

Maybe people think "likes problematic content = bad person" because they think that only liking pure and progressive content is all it takes to make them a "good" person. When you define yourself by your media consumption and not how you treat real people in the real world, that's uh. Concerning to say the least.

How does the moon cut his hair?

Got it.

But tumblr told me men were 100% down with feminism :((

>Uber and Lyft and other related companies were not actually made to be long-term projects, but rather set up to undercut taxi services while avoiding the general regulations set up for Taxi companies.

So, basically, pump em and dump em?

Is there some meeting transcript somewhere where they said so?

It's also a thing on Chrome Android. Just swipe left and right on the URL bar.

God I am sick and tired of people uwu-washing indigenous American history.

Did the Inca have exquisite building techniques, efficient messengers, and quality waterworks? Yes. They were also an expansionist empire built on violent conquest and the splitting up and relocating of conquered peoples.

Did the Aztecs have a gorgeous capital city built at the heart of a lake, with floating farms and towering temples honoring their fascinating pantheon? Yes. Guess what tho. They were also a violent expansionist empire who practiced ritual sacrifice of prisoners of war.

The Iroquois confederacy had one of the most unique representative political systems I’ve ever heard of, with women taking a forefront in most local government matters too. But their internal peace allowed them to redirect violence to their neighbors, as so often happens with tribal confederations, and they eventually violently conquered the Ohio valley and destroyed or displaced dozens of other indigenous groups.

Even my beloved Cahokia has the graves of sacrifice victims amidst its ruins.

A society should not need to be (and fundamentally cannot be) squeaky clean unproblematically stannable in order to be worth studying and remembering, and pretending that they were is no less disinformative than the European accounts painting them as godless savages.

The irony is that the term essentially means "Israel should exist", which is apparently an inherently bad thing.

So even if they're not using it to mean "Jewish people", they're still implying it's wrong to think Israel should even exist.

These two tweets capture how "Zionist" is being used by some people.

interesting how it's always "iranian regime" and never "israeli regime" and definetly never "iran, where the us and uk overthrew a democratically elected leader because the iranian parliment voted to nationalise iranian oil to stop foreign countries profiting off of their resources, with the western powers' actions ultimatly leading to the islamic republic of iran that they so fear"

I love how we're just supposed to assume everything he's complaining about is the fault of capitalism, based on absolutely no evidence.

Heck, we don't even know which things he's talking about, and both of the US recessions that spring to mind (now and 2008) involved a great deal of government interference.

Also, genocides are generally things done by governments.

I like how the person who yells buzzwords at random posts on strangers blogs, can't even defend their own arguments, and makes nothing but personal attacks is calling someone who doesn't do that stuff a psycho.

"Without laws, the press can lie to advance our agenda."

"Okay, but you were doing that anyway, even in countries with strong laws against press dishonesty. The only people who think otherwise are Flavor-Aid drinking sheep. And why do you trust politicians - who are also often former lawyers - to determine what's true or not?"

I still remember the left-wing people who wanted federal hate speech laws...during the Trump presidency...with a Republican majority Congress.
