The New Society

All these “anti-sjw” assholes prattling on about “oh ho ho! A MUSLIM shot a bunch of gay people! What will all those tumblr LGBT special snowflakes do NOW?!”
Mourn, you insufferable trash baskets. We’re mourning. We’re scared and angry and grieving.
What the fuck are YALL doing?
They’re acting like we’re going to somehow defend this murderer simply because he was reported to be a Muslim, at the expense of the LGBT+ victims.
Fuck them. If they’re more concerned with scoring points for their own demented ideologies, they’re dancing on the bodies of the dead.
I’m angry. I won’t be as cordial as I usually am in my posts.
Mass shootings have become something of a norm in the US. Turn on the news, see a breaking story, and think, “Another one?” That is not fucking normal.
Gun violence is an issue. Hate crimes are an issue. Guns enable hate crimes. They are responsible for the murder of women, POC, LGBT+ folks, among others.
But there are still people who think the “freedom” to keep and bear arms is somehow more important than protecting human lives. That an outdated portion of the Constitution is more important than protecting the innocent.
FUCK ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS WORTH MORE THAN THE LIVES OF MARGINALIZES PEOPLE.
Unfortunately, gun control isn’t the answer, either. It’s not enough when states with strict laws still enable men to buy a gun and shoot up a school, or a church, or a gay nightclub. It’s not enough.
The only solution we have left is disarmament. Confiscate firearms. Similar regulations have worked for the UK, France, Spain, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
It’s time the US cared more about human lives than its fetishization with firearms.
Joe Biden, in a powerful open letter to the Stanford sexual assault survivor, praised her courage and condemned the culture that forced her to defend her worth. (via guardian)
That’s nice, but what will the Obama Administration do to combat rape culture? Sympathy is not equivalent to action.
This is how every election should be. Completely forgo the risk of allowing a two party system to remain The System.
The top-two primary system destroys the concept of “voting against” candidates, and forces the winners to actually debate issues instead of the usual mudslinging that comes with partisan politics. It should be used everywhere.
Views that kill people are not “opinions”, they are outright violent hatred you extremely dirty toilet bowl ❤
“Free speech” is nothing but a shield used to protect ideas that actively harm the oppressed.
Exactly, that’s the point. Free speech is a shield used to protect ideas. Whether they “harm” the oppressed (ideas don’t harm, actions do), or the oppressor, or nobody. Whether it offends somebody or even insults the queen, free speech is shield that seeks to protect all speech from those that seek to silence others.
Free speech is even a shield to fucked up backwards ideas like yours that deny free speech itself.
What drives actions but ideas? What is the root cause of hate crimes but hatred? Bigotry is an idea, a learned concept. Take away the ability to communicate that idea to people, and the idea dies out.
… contemporary community standards define the speech that we do not consider free, as such speech can cause real-world harm.
It seems someone has posted my content to TumblrInAction on Reddit, which is responsible for the amount of attention and the influx of messages that I’ve received.
Your harassment will not silence me. It only proves my points further. You are using your “free speech” to try and force me into submission. It will not work. You will fail.
I will continue my work, and you will never persuade me otherwise.
Harassment, wonderful. I hope you don’t mind other people seeing you for who you are.
Read what I’ve written, and then respond. Don’t assume my position based on your own biases.
Ah, yes. Because my views are so far out of your range of comprehension, I must be a troll.
It can be good, and it can be evil. And in these times, too many people are using it for evil.
And what about the people who cannot be educated? The ones who can’t unlearn hatred, or cannot be convinced? What are we to do with them?
Strawman.
