Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

This kind of punishment first mentality can be unlearned or acculturate against, but it's probably a primate thing, not a white supremacy thing.
The earliest written laws were already largely punitive and Hammurabi predates white supremacy. Aboriginal Australian legal codes involved a lot of retributive not restorative practices too - spearing in the leg was a common legal recourse. And those codes probably predate the existence of whiteness by tens of thousands of years.
This is unique to white supremacy?
All toads are frogs.
All frogs are not toads.
Sounds like the stance someone would take when they don't know world history lol
It's ignorant to think that eastern and southern history isn't full of the same vengeance as the north.
Neutered justice doesn't give out the same high as reckless vengeance.
It's like "yay, we punished the billionaires by taking away their unreasonably hoarded wealth and are going to responsibly redistribute it to the programs that need it most. Though the difficulty of equity and logistics are going to be a pain on the ass to whoever has to deal with it, we are happy knowing it's the right thing to do." Vs "yay, we shot the billionaires so let's get drunk and par-tay! And if tomorrow sucks, we'll shot it too! Fk yeah!"
In-the-moment has a higher priority than long-term hardwork and dedication because it's actual, tangible rewards vs potential, imaginary rewards.
This is why Titus Andronicus is one of my favorite Shakespeare works.
“Everybody’s either dead or sad, and it was all pointless and avoidable because nobody chose justice over revenge. Learn from this or fuck you!”
Agreed. Hate in your heart mostly hurts you. I have spent a lot of time getting hate out of my body because I was raised in exactly the circumstances described. It was a long, hard fight which I think I am very close to winning.
MAGA still needs to burn. People are free to leave the organization out of self-preservation if nothing else, but no mercy for the org and what it's done. I don't hate any of them, even the scum at the top, but the movement must die. The people that are part of it have choices to make.
The end result of endless tolerance is annihilation. There is a line, and they've crossed it.
But if I don't have my hate, what's going to keep me warm at night?
The burning corpses of your enemies. Just don't be a hater while you're warming up.
hang on just a sec i gotta send this to every fucking leftist on the entire goddamn fediverse
Now post this in the context of Israel-palestine and watch the vibe shift.
Strangely enough, none of the involved parties have anything to do with Calvinism.
