tumblr’s political denizens have this obsession with stating they are something, inflating their self esteem based on this transient ‘fact’ which apparently translates into reality despite a lack of any meaningful action whatsoever, and then either affecting a permanent superior attitude toward their lessors or smashing the rage switch when something contradicts this. this then leads to ganging up on people, making baseless assumptions about someone, contradicting the very essence of what they are even talking about, ignoring someone’s arguments, throwing words like ‘evil’ or ‘-ist’ around, or a plethora of other wonderful things.
it’s essentially why political discussions on this site for the most part are utterly unbearable, especially unbearable from those who claim to be all about equality. equality my fucking arse! you’re not a fucking member of the baader-meinhof gang or the PLO, you absolute nipple. you’re a twat with a blog in a sea of twats. maybe taking modesty into account in light of this fact would be nice, but then i suppose that would mean admitting you’re wrong sometimes. for you, what could be worse than that?
