everytime a post being pro-palestine gets notes, even something as simple as a positivity one about how palestine will be free, i'm always getting weird af asks either from zionists/racists, or asking me to explain my thoughts on a different issue so they can do a "gotchya!" or something. its always a question posed in such away where they had a one sided argument with me in their head and are sending an ask to affirm their assumptions about me, someone they didn't ever interact with until they read the post.

even checking someone's account to see if they're asking in good faith always shows there is some underlying racism and they love sending asks so they can argue with ppl which is honestly such a weird way to spend time... so as rule, i don't answer anything in that realm. tumblr is the only website where uneducated idiots assume everyone is less educated than you so that they can ask you if you even understand something, meanwhile their info is like... propoganda they learned in highschool 😭 (okay tumblr isn't the only place this happens, but tumblr is the only place you can send asks about it) like it's not an ask, most if these people are preemptively debating w and answer presumed... extremely weird political culture on here. i have to remember a lot of people on here do not engage with their local communities and are often sheltered or socially isolated which can make them quite polarizing (i've been there). however i do really love all the awesome ppl that ask me about zine culture and DIY culture looking to revitalize that with others or have fun that's always really heartwarming to me.
