Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.
Reblog to let nazis know they’re not welcome here.
If you ever hear the phrase “fascism is aesthetics as politics,” that’s what this post is talking about.
It’s not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against “crime” as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.
It’s about performing “tough on crime” as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent “crime.” They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.
This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don’t want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against “crime” because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.
Please send me the training or tutorial in a written format with maybe some screenshots if necessary. I don’t want a video tutorial. I don’t want to waste time trying to scroll to the exact moment in the instructions that I need and then have to pause and replay it because I missed the .01 seconds of actually relevant information.
Please. Text. Maybe some images for clarification. I can read. I promise.
Skimmable, SEARCHABLE instructions. If they’re long, there should be a hyperlinked table of contents.
the people on tiktok filming a blob-like strawberry and saying it’s a GMO one…fucking fake strawberry fans…they literally can grow naturally like this
it’s just the strawberries growing together. do not speak lies of these beautiful freaks ever again
every time I find a strawberry like this i’m not hating. i’m happy because there’s more strawberry to eat. unlike you
its called fasciation and it’s a mutation that happens in plants all the time! it’s perfectly natural, just a neat variation that comes from a wide array of genetic possibilities :)
Its so interesting that when people hear gmo they think its gotta look wrong but the real gmo plants are the ones that look perfect and plump everytime, that’s the kinda thing they’re selecting for
The year is 2035. I am in the produce aisle complaining about the quality of the AI generated fruit.
Today’s aesthetic: YA media where being a monster or having gross super powers or whatnot initially appears to be a blunt allegory for having some very specific flavour of neurodivergence, like literally a textbook presentation, but as it goes on it becomes increasingly obvious that the writer doesn’t realise this.
Guy who’s unknowingly been living with unmedicated bipolar disorder for 33 years voice: “It’s a metaphor for puberty.”
oh my god I’ve finally found someone else who GETS IT.
Why do people always leave amazing additions in the tags because I’ve been saying exactly this for a WHILE now. The mutant-as-disability allegory has strengths where the other interpretations have weaknesses. The existence of non-beneficial mutations and the subsequent cure debate being the biggest one. The need to learn control. A lot of mutants go to a school specifically for mutants because the teachers are better equipped to teach them that control and the school has accommodations that most don’t…hmm, I wonder why that sounds so familiar??
