Spending time calling out random people as "perverts" and "paedos" and "disgusting" for the type of FICTION they enjoy (i.e. IT'S NOT REAL) is genuinely the laziest and most pathetic form of moral "activism" there is.

It does absolutely nothing to address real world issues or help actual, existing people. All it does is allow one to bask in their smug, self righteous, puritanical, moral superiority.

Someone can like the darkest, most fucked up fiction imaginable. It says absolutely nothing about their real world morals.

Get an actual grip.

If both sides are bad, why do white supremacists vote for the Republican Party?

If both sides are bad, why do misogynists vote for the Republican Party?

If both sides are bad, why do transphobes and homophobes vote for the Republican Party?

They vote for the Republican Party, because they know the difference between the two parties. They know who's going to help create the hateful world they want. You're the only one living in some delusion where that difference doesn't exist or matter. Be for real.

Twitter user @ LookAtMyMeat1 has posted a wikipedia screenshot.  The screenshot shows two ships passing by.  The caption reads, "While sailing the Mediterranean Sea in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence flashed the Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal asking: "Who are you?" The full-rigged ship answered: "Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy." The Independence replied, "You are the most beautiful ship in the world."  This tweet was quote retweeted by user @ cattaur who adds, "this is yuri"ALT

iirc this is actually one of thomas blackshear’s main subject matters! so check out his stuff if ur interested

YES!!!!

The second you start talking about some mysterious "they" that are controlling society in some fashion, you are engaging in dangerous conspiratorial thinking even if you're being woke about it. "They" did not institute the 40 hour work week specifically so you would be too tired to revolt. "They" did not invent the sleek minimalist aesthetic in order to crush the spirit of art in the common people. "They" are not pushing mediocre media into the mainstream in order to poison people's critical thinking skills.

Your best case scenario after that is you talk to someone who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about and you get embarrassed because you can't answer basic questions about your own ideology because you never learned anything past "the ruling class/capitalists/politicians are making things bad and if we got rid of them the bad things would all go away!"

Your worst case scenario is obviously the woo-to-fascist pipeline and you end up believing Jews are poisoning American food supplies with GMOs in order to turn us all into beta cucks, so like . . . maybe just stop blaming "them" before you fall down that route.

Obligatory round of disclaimers: Yes, sometimes people do bad things. Be specific about exactly who is doing what instead of ascribing it to some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, sometimes things in society are bad. Learn to identify the root causes of complex social issues instead of assuming that they're actually extremely simple to fix and we're just not doing it because of some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, minimalism isn't for everyone. Learn that some people don't share your tastes and get the fuck over it for the love of god.

Also, before you blame a vague "they" for a contemporary social norm or law or policy you think is bad, look up what the norm was before it. What did it replace?

"They created the 40-hour workweek to --"
QUERY: What was the average working-class person's weekly workload before the 40-hour workweek was standardized?

"They created credit scores to --"
QUERY: How did banks determine who was and wasn't worthy of a loan before credit scores?

"They promote bad media to --"
QUERY: What was the average working-class person's entertainment before this era of "bad" media?

"They invented schools to crush children's creativity and --"
QUERY: What was the average working-class child's daily life like before universal public schooling?

To be clear. Before someone accuses me of pissing on the poor.

I AM NOT SAYING "Stop opposing current social practices because Things Used To Be Worse, stop complaining about a 40 hour workweek because great-grandpa worked 90 hours a week uphill both ways in the snow --"

We should advocate a shorter workweek, actually! We should advocate abolishing credit scores, actually! We should advocate non-authoritarian schooling, actually!

But we should do it from a place of informed historical perspective that doesn't quickly become romanticizing the past and perpetuating the idea that Things Were Great Until They Took Over.
