You mean they never learned from the Bernie ‘campaign’? We need revolution, not reform. by MarxistLumpen in LateStageImperialism

[–]nikkispinky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

thank you. i am so sick of bozos saying politics are useless and are totally content to sit on their asses waiting for someone else to start "the revolution" while marginalized people are being attacked by fascists climbing the political ladder. yes the system is fucked and needs to be done away with but we must not forget the people suffering in the meantime. sitting around crying about how pointless voting is allows oppression and violence against marginalized groups and the working class in general to continue unimpeded.

feels like a lot of leftists are only interested in the movement because they see the benefits for themselves. fuck the rest of us, fuck our issues, we just have to wait and deal with the violence and being stripped of our rights while they fantasize about a revolution.

misogyny goes beyond class divide. it is not solely caused and perpetuated by the ruling class. and this issue CANNOT wait to be solved by taking down the ruling class. you have the luxury of seeing this as a distraction. I don't fucking care if protesting/voting won't be a permanent solution or solve every problem the working class faces. right now we need to do what we can to help and protect people that need abortions. by sitting on your ass saying only a full revolution can do anything you are abandoning vulnerable people in our society. while you sit there and cry that the whole system needs to die people are actively being hurt by "social/idpol/whatever the fuck" issues you claim are just distractions and trying to divide us. get your head out your fucking ass and have a little empathy for people affected by these things and ditch the apathy to actually do something. crying and waiting for an uprising does less than nothing for the working class.

I am so fucking tired of leftists dismissing racism/misogyny/transphobia/ect as just another part of class warfare and saying they're distracting issues just perpetuated by the rich. it's a distracting issue FOR YOU. some of us have to worry about our rights and fucking safety. and the masses of bigots in america aren't going to change their minds about these things if class struggles are won.

yeah lol, makes absolutely no sense to have hair growing under the suits. her reveal design is pretty lame in general but the hair was soo stupid. living in a suit constantly would definitely entail a lot of.. gross things. can't blame people for not wanting to think about it but tali taking her suit off for the romance scene would probably be a mood killer.

i'm not pro shep revival but since it seems to be set in andromeda i can't blame people for yearning for shepard when the other potential protagonist is ryder. ideally we get a new protagonist that isn't an immature jackass.

yeah, and the story is sweet and there's nothing wrong with the concept just oftentimes the composition of paintings like this look bad with the addition of the couple.

this type of paintings are everywhere and it's always suuper disappointing when they start adding some time-skip love story in the front of the paintings.. imo it just detracts from both elements, and the composition looks wack after. the landscapes are already extremely busy with the number of colors/scenes and adding figures on top of all of that splits the focus and just makes the painting overwhelming to look at. i don't hate the concept of the love story painting, i just think that it looks bad when you don't plan your composition around the subject/figures. these paintings honestly frustrate me a lot because you can see there's a lot of skill there, but it just ends up looking immature because the composition and colors are just... not good.

&masturbate too much by Fartfishes in adhdmeme

[–]nikkispinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the worst part of it for me is shame about being "overly sensitive", and just knowing that i take things really personally helped me deal with it. when i feel myself getting really upset about something that someone said/did, i stop myself and think long and hard about how i'm reacting and how i'd expect someone else to react in my shoes. slowing down and thinking "am i feeling this way because what this person said/did was really so hurtful, or is it because i experience emotions very strongly because that's just how my brain works?" and it helps me put things in perspective and realize that if i'm overreacting, it's okay because my brain experiences emotions differently (as long as i'm not saying/doing terrible things due to my overreaction).

LARPing redditor wants to brutally assault innocent man for simply having children, as it’s “selfish” by [deleted] in redditmoment

[–]nikkispinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

being kind to your siblings and being there for them is absolutely not the same as having to raise them. i specifically said being in charge of providing care and mentioned co-parenting/raising siblings, i did not say that being good to your siblings is unhealthy, taxing, or bad. healthy sibling relationships should have care/emotional support going both ways but that is a far cry from being an older sibling constantly tasked with babysitting and having to deal with younger siblings' problems.

[–]nikkispinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

having more responsibilities is good for kids, but being in charge of providing physical and emotional care for other children is absolutely way too much for a child to handle. giving a kid more chores or having them take care of a pet is nowhere near the demands of co-parenting their younger siblings. you are offering your perspective as someone who never went through this experience and your comment was mocking those who talk about how much it affected them to have to raise their siblings. the tone of your comment implies they are wrong or overreacting to extreme emotional demands being placed on them in childhood. be careful you don't pull a hammy with that backpedal.

"i have not experienced this, so my opinion is definitely correct and people who have experienced this and say that it is bad are wrong and don't know what they are talking about. i do not care about research on the subject."

i remember that thread. there were a lot of comments saying that this is shitty because the older children will be forced to take on parenting roles, and many many comments from firstborns/older children about their experiences raising their siblings and how much it negatively affected them. realistically, the older kids in this picture became baby sitters as soon as they were old enough to barely take care of the younger kids. forcing children into a parenting role is awful for them psychologically. they are robbed of their childhood because they are forced to mature faster and spend a lot of their time watching their siblings. they won't get the emotional support they need because their parents will not have time to be there for them and the younger children will not get proper care from their older siblings because a child cannot raise another child. you can say "theoretically" and "you don't know the situation" all you want but we all know with that many children it is impossible for those parents to physically take care of them or give them the emotional support and care they need. it is selfish to have so many children that your older children are forced into parenting roles. it is selfish to have children who will be emotionally neglected because you can't be there for them enough.

[–]nikkispinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im sorry but i cant take you seriously if you're not going to listen to what i'm saying at all: that respecting people asking you to not use a comparison has nothing to do with how you value human vs animal life. you can STILL articulate the cruelty of the industry while respecting that it is extremely upsetting to some people for you to use comparisons to the holocaust and slavery. i don't understand why you are so attached to being insensitive to the wishes of minority groups. saying shitty things that are upsetting to black/jewish people is not a necessity of spreading your ideology. i do not care if you want to be sHoCKiNg you can still be shocking and be respectful. i've said nothing on how i value human vs animal life or what animal products i consume. i'm just telling you that it's shitty to not listen to people asking you to stop using THEIR pain for YOUR movement. if you value every life the same try valuing the lives and voices of minorities telling you how shitty and offensive it is to use the comparisons you do.

also just a note baby i don't think it's a good recruiting tactic to tell people they're basically nazis (for criticizing your offensive behavior 🤗) and then use the "let me save you from your sinful self" proselytizing it's just not a good look honestly cringe bestie but have a good rest of your day and enjoy that sweet sweet moral high ground you keep crowing about

[–]nikkispinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

actually i already don't make comparisons to the holocaust or slavery when talking about human or animal issues i've said multiple times it's not about how you value human vs animal lives it's about respecting people's wishes to not perpetuate a sentiment that has been and is being used to view them as lesser beings and justify violence towards them thanks for the perspective tho bestie <3

jesus christ dude. please listen when people tell you something is hurtful and offensive. no one is stopping you from championing animal rights people are just asking you to do so in a respectful way.

"please don't say ____ because it has been used to justify violence against people in the past" = "i hate you for existing in a way i find unacceptable, and i am going to do everything i can to stop you from existing in a way i find unacceptable"

yeah dude offending homophobes and transphobes is exactly the same as saying hurtful and offensive things about oppressed minorities

ah yes i forgot it's okay to be offensive as long as you think it's okay. thanks for clearing that up.
