i feel like at this point tumblr is a negatively-oriented community with a drive toward misery and radical extremism disguised as humour that's only worthwhile because it's the only platform that offers the things i need to roleplay with friends i have had for 10+ years on this website. i wish there was like. any space at all for it to Not be that though

#current events cw #politics cw #the number - the number - of ppl celebrating QEII's death rly threw me wow #not a fan of the monar/ch/y think it should be dismantled think QEII should have done more in her r/ei/gn think she missed bare minimums #also think making jokes about her death online is not ... comparable ... to making jokes about the suez canal #also think actively poking fun at a lot of people's grief is cruel? not funny or cool?#'well they shouldn't be grieving her!' once again you use the word 'should' like that has any bearing on real life people living real lives #i am not One Of Those People but i have mourned people before #anger sure. you don't need my permission to be angry. emotions are just emotions #you don't have to feel way x or y or z #you can even use it to further a political agenda i'm up for that i'd like a republic #also .............................................. making fun of the death of a 96yo woman crosses a line i won't cross with you 🤷‍♂️#how is that controversial. 'don't laugh and joke abt someone's death' not ...... hard #not hard at all #i am not accepting discussion or commentary at this time thanks #i'll block you it's very easy to not defend making fun of sb's death #'ingrid you can't walk the line in between you're either supportive or you're not'#a) incremental change is essential for social movements it is the *way* change happens #it deals with real people living real lives in the real world and works towards change #b) idealism is also important for social movements #we are each more or less agreed about the eventual end of the mona/rchy #i'm just not stuck in the 'idealistic' stage and refusing to accept that incremental change is the only way to affect radical change #thanks #anyway tumblr keeps popping up with jokes abt this topic and it annoys me every time #and i unfollow people and then someone else does it too #it is why i am on a hiatus it's because. tumblr is exhausting
