some self-thinking about my extremely heavy world shit post, talking about nazis 

@wolfteeth nope! Maybe I'll have to check it out

extremely heavy world shit 

@starkatt i wholeheartedly agree

some self-thinking about my extremely heavy world shit post, talking about nazis 

why am i reading this while on vacation?

well, i care a lot about figuring out how to take apart nazis and i think understanding how they justify themselves is an important step to deconstructing that if you deal with them

punching nazis is great but that alone isn't enough to de-radicalize every one of them

turns out a lot of people in the rwandan genocide tried to appeal to being "good people" and victimization - "were targeted for being Hutus"

we've seen this behavior thoroughly documented in the alt right since a certain game dev was revenge targeted and it continues today

TIL: the element cobalt is named after kobolds.

No, really: the compound in which cobalt is most commonly found was called "kobold ore" by miners.

@Elizafox idk this is one kind of thing i find a private account useful for

posting in a place you can safely vent is helpful when you're a visible person

realtalk 

@Elizafox idk

you can't shove the context what other people have done with something into the minds of folks who aren't doing it for the same reasons you think about

i feel like mastodon's context is much more centered on validation than it is actual shitposting

@Elizafox @CobaltVelvet@octodon.social either way we're putting these memes deep underground

realtalk 

@Elizafox for reals tho like there's no reason to get upset about people posting memes, especially one about their identity, it just kinda comes off as spiteful even if you're only just annoyed

@Elizafox "you're fired"
"what??? you can't fire me from memes, i quit"
"you can't quit from memes you're fired"
