Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Ok, but I've also been saying that for aeons too. Longer than you've been drawing breath, if I may make, perchance, a bold assertion.

None of my peers (at least the ones I choose to associate with) have every said anything to me like what you're suggesting. Anyone who ever has is a taking head with an agenda as see thru as saran wrap.

"The government has your best interests at heart!"

I was 18 during the APEC protests. I came of age distrusting these lying, evil, craven mfers. It's imprinted. No one's ever gonna convince me or even a notable fraction of my peers of that one. Granted: context is king, I am Canadian, and geopolitics varies from place to place.

I'm 100% behind the energy in your rage but focus it on the right demographic. It's not when you were born. It's what you've done since showing up.

You'd be surprised at where your allies are.
