That’s the right mentality to have there. Do what you can where you can.
I ran into an amazing character creator and animator recently and loved what I saw. I shared it with some friends and they pointed out the person is a complete CHUD. I now blacklist their stuff, as simple viewership of their media gives demand for it.
Perfection is impossible, you’ll never know someone is like that until they get vocal about it. But for actual Nazis and their sympathizers, I do what I can to not give them attention or money. It’s like ethical consumption under capitalism, it’s impossible to be 100%. Just do better when it’s obvious.
That those people then funnel money into organizations that are anti-LGBTIA+ as well should be a very good reason to not buy their crap. Initially with Rowling we didn’t know she was such a POS, but now that we do, I no longer consume her media willingly. I wouldn’t even say pirate it, as it still creates an obvious demand for it.
Money going to people like that is then funneled into culture war bullshit. Rowling as an example is personally help fund many anti-trans pieces of legislation. There is not ethical consumption with Nazis/Reactionaries involved. If you can’t be assed to not pay for media that funds such actions then I personally so little difference between you and the creator.
The thoughts and trauma also don’t just go away, they fade like old scars but sometimes your finger runs over it and you remember how you got it. It leaves you harmed in such a way you now don’t fit in exactly well, if you even did to begin with. Some find solace in pure solitude, others through substances. Neither of those situations is healthy. It’s hard to take the bowl they purposely broke that is you, and glue it back together to continue holding water. It leans, constantly, and no amount of patching fixes it fully or forever.
Why is this relevant? Anon may be such an individual that the idea of even doing something to improve their quality of life seems insurmountable due to depression and trauma. Can’t say for certain, but it was not a single instance.
I worked a short stint as a network administrator for a company I did not like at all. I figured it’d be a foot in the door, but boy was I wrong. I didn’t last 6 months, I was doing work of a network tech, network admin, security tech for door locks and cameras, a custodian, and general computer tech in all that. It was a VASTLY underpaid position for the work.
It takes a real sociopath to think this was ever a good idea or anyway acceptable.
You spelled living piece of human excrement wrong.
Neo-liberalism has brought us here, it’s designed to slowly ratchet us toward another authoritarian state. Because you cannot dare mar the sanctity of the “Free Market” you have to sacrifice at its altar everything else.
The military industrial complex needs its regular sacrifice every decade to keep the black heart pumping.
This is NSFW!
That’s because they have been led to believe that the outgroups are responsible for all their hardships. Even if just 6 cents of their monthly pay goes to food stamps, it’s gross to them to be paying for others they don’t like to eat. They would never notice it being taken out if not told about it. They will then in the same breathe validate their own use of social safety systems.
There’s no way to reconcile with them. Ostracizing them from society is the only way we have to deal with them. They’re willfully, even gleefully breaking the social contract the rest of us follow. So deserve none of society’s protections.
Tell her because of denomination you cannot agree with her particular dogma.
You may not be involved in politics, but politics will certainly be involved with you.
The term “gypsies” is a slur by the way.
You’ll need compression socks to stay healthy.
Happy Cake day! Also yeah, this push in video games to play them optimally sucks. They’re supposed to be fun, a way from work. Not more work.
Everyone plays to the meta that unless you’re on your class’ best spec you won’t get in.
No, you can’t be psychologically prepared for the horrors that all out war, especially in this era, would bring. Even if the Geneva Convention was followed as closely as possible, the body count would be staggering. I don’t think we have a modern equivalent display of military power versus one equally so. While there’s always some disparities, most conflict during our time has generally been either civil wars in countries that were exploited by colonialism, or the USA going to pound some non-white people into the ground for profit.
I don’t think Ukraine and Russia really counts, Russia has the surplus but it’s literally just throwing bodies at the problem and their advanced tech has failed often to just the rampant theft in the system.
