as a doomer i don't expect things to change im not wallowing in my misery because i think it's going to make things better im miserable because things won't get better no matter what we small puny peasants do. go ahead and make fun of me but this isn't coming from a sentiment of supposed intellectual superiority or whatever im just depressed and hopeless and tired of people not noticing the signs
this mindset is why we lose btw. If people thought this about stonewall or the blm movement or bacon’s rebellion any other revolution where us “””””puny peasants””””” made a stand for a change they never would have happened and things would be much worse. I see the signs, and you know what? They fuel me. They make me more radical for change, because we need one. You, as a doomer, actively make our chances at a change worse. You, as a doomer, are proving your own point. Do you want your point to be proven? I used to be like you but for the love of god I don’t care how young or old or poor or queer or disabled or black or depressed or neurodivergent you are. You. Can. Make. A. Difference. And not fighting for one dooms the people who want a change and actually take action to do so. I know it’s hard, I know it’s daunting. But you need to stay hopeful. You need to stay punk. You need to stay loud. You need to stay non complacent. You need to stay hopeful. You need to stay hopeful. You need to stay hopeful.

oh goodie!
exactly bruh
rewatched bfdi today and leafys villain arc is completely justified
yeahh, this is my story (dropping uni for the 4th time, not being able to pass 1st semester, trying different fields each year)
tell me yours
for real, crowdkilling doesn't make you punk, it makes you a dangerous asshole who clearly doesn't care about the health and safety of those in your community. quite literally the opposite of punk.
last night after getting badly injured by some cis dude during a song about, by, and for lesbians, someone told me it was my "fault for going to the show". no it's fucking not. attending a show is not an open invitation to be maimed.
punk should be accessible for disabled people. punk is largely FOR and BY disabled people. anybody that says "well if you're disabled then you shouldn't go" can fuck themselves into oblivion. it was OUR show. an event put on and performed by disabled queers. FOR DISABLED QUEERS. ALWAYS.
disabled people have just as much right to attend events as you do. in fact I'd argue we have more of a right to be there bc we don't constantly put the general public at risk of bodily harm.
we should be able to attend our own shows without the risk of life changing injuries bc some dude is taking his anger out on a bunch of strangers.
don't get me wrong, I love moshing. mosh all u want, but have some fucking etiquette and remember that not everybody is healthy and able bodied. and they especially wont be if yall keep hurting everyone.
punk is about community. it's about caring for eachother and creating a safe place for people to express themselves. it is NOT about being violent or destructive, or seeing how many innocent people you can mow down. if you do that shit you're not punk, you're just an asshole.
THISSSS
Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They're acting like they're still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn't deranged.
A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.
Don't walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I'm serious, go limp, be dead weight.
Putin's Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant "LIE" in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can't read above a 3rd grade level.
Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.
If you're gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you're actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.
Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. "DOESN'T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?" or "PUPPET PRESIDENT" or "EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE" or "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.
Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you're trying.
Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you're there!
How hard is this? There's probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.
The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.
BOOK!!!
Oh and bookpin and pin too!
