Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

It is inflammatory because this conservative bullshit is fucking offensive as fuck to everyone on earth who were exploited by the US and its allies to make that life possible.
No, it can't, not in the way it happened. It happened by extreme exploitative capitalism and it ended in the exact way you are living now. Those same people are the ones who had their wealth transferred up. Those same people are the people who got foreclosed in 2008. There is no alternate ending to what happened then than the world you live in. To think you can go back to the past and live a way of life that doesn't exist from an idealized past is conservative thought.
No one on earth will ever have that again, you need to dream much bigger where you aren't profiting off the backs of my family with a better world for everyone that looks nothing like the regressive 1950s fantasy your boomer parents and grandparents lived in or you get the shit you have now.
If you're saying you want a better world for everyone then we're in agreement.
I won't speak for people whose parents lived in the West in the 50s, that's not my experience. But I hope that they also want shared global prosperity and safety, which is not how I'd describe the past 75 years or more.
