welp.
omg look at that font size
they literally gave that fucking child 5 lines in font size 24pt to fucking read out “nazis are bad” and this colossal failure of a human went on an honest to gods rant about how nazis arent all to blame because they’re just defending the statue and its a slipperly slope! george washingtong could be next!!!!!
I like how this simultaneously confirms that Trump is a raging nazi/klan sympathizer and adds more supporting evidence to Samantha Bee’s Totally Real 100% Valid Theory.
Opinion | What if Western media covered Charlottesville the same way it covers other nations
The international community is yet again sounding the alarm on ethnic violence in the United States under the new regime of President Trump. The latest flash point occurred this past weekend when the former Confederate stronghold of Charlottesville descended into chaos following rallies of white supremacist groups protesting the removal of statues celebrating leaders of the defeated Confederate states. The chaos turned deadly when Heather Heyer, a member of the white ethnic majority who attended the rally as a counterprotester, was killed when a man with neo-Nazi sympathies allegedly drove his car into a crowd.
Trump, a former reality television host, beauty pageant organizer and businessman, rose to political prominence by publicly questioning the citizenship of the United States’ first black president, Barack Obama. Since his election, Trump has targeted Muslims, refugees, Mexicans and the media. He has also advocated for police brutality. These tactics have appealed to and emboldened white ethno-nationalist groups and domestic terrorist organizations.
DAMN

My dash did a bi!dean thing.
Reblog if you think the person you reblogged this from deserves to be happy.
I love doing my thing while someone else is in the room doing their thing. Like if you come over and you want to sit by the window and read while I sit on the floor drawing something and listening to a cd that would be very nice.
RESIST
the aclu is real tacky
#fuck the aclu#i used to like them#i like the first amendment as much as anyone#but damn look at context once in a fucking while#stop protecting nazis#start protecting people being actively beaten and murdered by nazis#howboutdah
the entire purpose of the aclu is to make sure that our rights don’t get taken away. if you’re ok with legal rights being taken away from ANYONE then you’re either ok with them being taken away from everyone, or you’re too naive to realize that once you peel up the corner of the carpet, someone is going to give it a yank.
i am getting real tired of seeing people play moral contagion panic about the only organization willing to defend rights instead of people.
have you forgotten how often you and i were considered too icky to defend?
edit: also, wtf is even the point of the post. bringing a bow and arrow to a protest is unusual and noteworthy. right wing assholes carrying assault rifles has been on every news page since friday fucking morning. someone noticing a weird thing does not have an obligation to report on the weird-thing-doer’s opponent’s activities. the op doesn’t even make any sense.
the aclu literally got an innocent woman murdered (by suing the city and getting this event passed) and youre sitting here talking about morality LOL im not gonna respond to your poorly made arguement im just gonna let ppl look at your comment and how…good and “logical” you think it is lol…..ESPECIALLY the last part.
do you know what the words ‘legal precedent’ mean?
if not, i don’t know where to start with you.

There are n*zis on campus rn and a student brought out like a 1997 boombox and started blasting Taking The Hobbits to Isengard every time they tried to say something.
“Those who do not share our genes -THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS – THE MASTER RACE – TO ISENGARD TO ISENGARD – AND I BELIEVE –
THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE-”Chaotic good
In Jewish tradition, one of our holidays is called Purim. It celebrates the defeat of an antisemitic political advisor to a king who liked to prowl the streets ranting his hatred. Part of the story of Purim involves the people being ranted at inventing a special kind of noisemaker to drown him out.
Basically what I’m saying is this student is following a grand tradition whether they realize it or not and they should be proud.
not only is Purim about drowning out fascists, it’s about doing so in the most absurd and embarrassing ways possible! fascism thrives on an aura of invincibility, and it’s hard to hold onto that when people keep making farting sounds every time you open your mouth
so really, weaponized memes are PERFECTLY in keeping with the Purim spirit
*slams fist on table* NOW THIS is the kind of religious/cultural tradition I can get behind!
😦
thanks for the thought tho
3 ½ years on T, 3 years post top surgery, and turning 55 in July 😳. It’s never too late.
❤
This makes me so happy
Never too late!!!!!
Whoever this is, bless you. Fucking bless you. Even if I don’t have the resources to transition soon, this gives me hope that I can still become the man I want to be 20+ years in the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And thank you to everyone who reblogged this until it reached my dash, too. Thank you for giving me the ability to see this. I have HOPE now.
