 Of all the things that irk me about tumblr I think I hate the glib little Communists the most.

Like yeah, the anti-Semites and the 'hatred is okay if you're punching up' people are worse but god damn am I annoyed by the Communists.

PS: some of the punching up people are the anti-Semites which tells me what I need to know about the validity of 'punching up.'

i have not run across any of the anti-semites on my dash, yet, praise the lord. sounds gross.

but yeaaaaah wrt communism, i think i've seen posts to the tune of "literally all political systems except communism are inherently oppressive and if you support any other political system you are supporting oppression" and i'm like "..."

there's always something that's amused me greatly about how such strong anti-capitalist fervour has arisen on a website that currently sells blog skins for $50. sure, this crowd obviously aren't the type to actually buy these paid themes, but still, the contrast is beautiful

i don't think i've ever encountered the antisemitism myself, but i've heard plenty about it and how it manifests out of a sort of misguided "fight the power" type attitude. if only these fuckers knew
