Believing misandry is a thing in 2024 is crazy

If anyone has a screenshot of the Courtney love Barbie pussy post plssss send

No bc gen alpha got their most crucial schooling years stolen from them by the pandemic and now they can’t fucking read, had tiktok given to them at a very early and very important phase of brain development, permanently fucking up their attention spans and rewards centers, which is going to make them so much more susceptible to propaganda, and exposed to trend culture and conformity such an earlier age than any previous generation, which is going to make it so much harder for them to unlearn and think critically about. We are so so fucked.

I need to become better at nonconformity I need to help people I need to be louder I need to know more about more things

There’s gotta be some astrology shit going on rn bc why do I have so many new characters entering my life rn and so many old characters reaching out again after so long like

thinking about this picture from 1975 taken in san fran on this day period

also thinking about how being in high school kinda mirrors a small scale success of communitarian anarchism but im literally falling asleep so im gonna post this so that I remember to think about it again tomorrow

“people are inherently selfish, government is necessary bc everyone would hurt each other without enforcement of rules” my local library has no late fee. sure, maybe some asshole who has been so deeply brainwashed by capitalism that they are convinced that ultimate success is material/monetary gain that comes at minimal cost to themself may steal a book every once in a while. this hypothetical asshole is not a representative of human nature, but a product of the society they live in. This asshole would not exist in an anarchist society. And then there’s the majority of the people who visit the library and know that stealing from a public library is an awful thing to do because libraries are sacred spaces and provide crucial resources. the majority of us who are not so far gone as to never even consider the community and to prioritize self gain above all else are who should be used as a more accurate representation of humanity. And sure maybe there’s another person who knows that stealing from libraries is bad and wouldn’t so in most circumstances, but maybe for whatever they really really desperately need a book permanently and can’t obtain it through other means, and so they steal. Because this is not to say that people aren’t inherently selfish, this person is a perfectly valid representation of human nature as well. It’s just that humans are also inherently communal and compassionate. We just live in a society where selfishness and individualistic drive is encouraged, praised, and necessary, while collectivity and striving for the common good is frowned upon and a burden, and efforts rarely have lasting tangible results. So with the question of the necessity of government or the potential for any economic system beyond capitalism, it is easy to say that nothing else would work due to the inherent selfishness of humans when that is what we have been taught and what we observe. And in situations of suddenly entering periods of anarchy, of course there was violence and theft. Of course after generations of viewing the accumulation of wealth and material goods as the ultimate goal, and being met with the shock of it all being within reach with no more regulation of what you can or can’t have, the people failed at self regulation and acted brashly. These instances can’t serve as examples of life under anarchy because they happened suddenly, under already strenuous and desperate circumstances. Such a system, or lack thereof, would have to be implemented gently, changing peoples mindsets alongside it.

guys hot uquiz was just discovered but I'm taking it about 100 yrs too late. anyways everyone share how wifeable you are.

male adolescence: haha if i could stop the time i would rape every single female in my class

female adolescence: i should kill myself for not having a thigh gap

in eighth grade, a girl in my home room was expelled. teachers didn't mention her by name ever again, they just gave us a vague lecture about online privacy. it wasn't long until i got the whole story from my friends: this girl had sent nudes to a boy she liked, and her parents had found them on a hidden folder in her phone. how did they hear about this? the boy who got the nudes was bragging about it to our classmates the next day. he wasn't expelled. he didn't even get a suspension. sure, his parents were furious, but that was just the comedic conclusion to the whole ordeal. everyone laughed at this girls expense.

eighth grade. twelve years old. late twenty-tens. this memory, to me, reveals the sort of nightmare girls are living in, where they think it's normal to sexually exploit themselves for boys, and boys benefit at every turn. kids are introduced to porn and sex even younger than this now. i know a six year old who already does her makeup. onlyfans seems like a fun hobby for eighteen year olds. my friends were taking the bdsm test at fifteen to see what they'll like. it's a nightmare.

genuinely when you log off and are only exposed to the lives of those around you as god intended you realize how much shit does not matter. i know this is not a hot take but we were not meant to hear every thought, feeling and opinion of people we will never see face to face. it’s so much easier to pile on people for harmless but annoying opinions when you will never have to spend extended time with them.

“...men come to me or to other feminists and say:

"What you're saying about men isn't true. It isn't true of me. I don't feel that way. I'm opposed to all of this."

And I say: don't tell me. Tell the pornographers. Tell the pimps. Tell the warmakers. Tell the rape apologists and the rape celebrationists and the pro-rape ideologues. Tell the novelists who think that rape is wonderful. Tell Larry Flynt. Tell Hugh Hefner. There's no point in telling me. I'm only a woman. There's nothing I can do about it. These men presume to speak for you. They are in the public arena saying that they represent you. If they don't, then you had better let them know."
