Frostible

i used to call myself a centrist, until i found out bernie is considered “fringe left” in this country…

it’s basically a self-report atp

way to prove the point

i promise any child who gets to this point wishes their parents weren’t so self-minded as well, but now housing and healthcare are impossibly commodified and the ladders have been getting pulled up for 45 years.

maybe if we didn’t live under oligarchical control, you wouldn’t have to scrape away the future of your children just to take a trip overseas- but acting like it’s an inevitability of life and not an injustice of the slave drivers in control is thought terminating and frankly disturbing.

not that i know how this specific guy treated his kid, but it’s a far worse punishment to be born into a family that treats you like an investment above all and most children with this attitude had that kind of upbringing. in such cases, the parents are simply reaping what they sowed. the children didn’t get a choice.

rocket league

had to scroll WAYYYY too far to see this

as someone who thinks “left” and “right” are fake politics, my experience has led me to think about the range as the scope of your compassion. the further “left” you are, the more you care about the people as a whole. the further “right” you are, the more you care about yourself.

eventually, you get so egocentric that you cannot even fathom an opposing perspective so the “common sense” becomes your only basis for thought. the way you perceive your own stance literally shifts back towards the center as your actual position gets more extreme.

my dad didn’t bail me out of shit and i ended up not being able to speak up or advocate for myself about anything. since i never had a safe out i ended up desensitized to uncomfortable situations, spending the most formative decade of my life working out the suicidal ideation i had developed after getting bullied into an injury that i lacked the self-advocacy to speak up about. i sure would’ve appreciated a hand.

“weakens people” reads to me like the extremely flawed mouse utopia experiment that i still hear thrown around as a deflection to the reduction of suffering. fuck off with that bullshit.

i swear ever since i was born into bush the goalposts just keep moving and all the adults seem to do is blame the kids, instead of taking any of that accountability for themselves like they greedily do with everything else

??? this isn’t my fight bro lmao i’m just saying you have nothing to back up your whataboutism so don’t throw stones in a glass house

pretty rich talking about comprehension when you can’t even read a username

no actually i can back them up, you suck at making a point

a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, you’re the one responsible for that evidence bro try growing up a bit

they’re being facetious lol

conflating single issue voters with closet bigots is how you make the situation more divisive and foster animosity btw

regardless of how this guy actually voted, i know many people voted for him in 2016 because his campaign was extremely vocal about ending proxy wars. the focus shouldn’t be on them, it should be on the people who voted for him 3 times and still try to dodge accountability and deflect shame by marketing themselves as a “centrist”

unfortunately i see it way too often in this country, eventually you get deep enough to become unable to reject the absurdity, as it would mean acknowledging your own status as a slave

had a close friend try to defend 6 sick days a year as “generous”

lmao.

thanks for the kind words, now i’ve made it out the other side of the OR in a resounding success

turns out it wasn’t just one loose rib strumming one nerve, but 3 loose ribs strumming a whole damn chord of nerves ahaha

i made it to an operating room after 15 years of being dismissed by doctors and reprimanded by my biological sperm donor after getting a slipped rib

never stop advocating for yourself

and the ones most insistent on bearing arms against a tyrannical government are the ones who support diaper in chief the most, so it’s all for naught!

SCHEISSDRECK

surely you can see the irony in placing blame back onto the individual with this reply lol
