Because bitching and moaning is a human specialty! We love it! We love to write it and we love to read it, then we love to read it and complain about reading it! Where would we be without it? Half of our literature sprung from criticism…bitching and moaning about reading shit you didn’t have to read.emilyinthisclub:thingswesaidtoday:
I’d go ahead and get really deep and say that progress is about recognizing, ellucidating and pointing out our collective mistakes, misjudgements and bias’s, and that our lack of critical thinking, about ourselves or others would be, if not lazy and apathetic, then detrimental to the entire progress of the human race, but I won’t say that because then someone will say I’m wrong.
This is not new, or specific to the internet or tumblr. It’s just happening to YOU.
Get used to it, or shut it!
Black and white Helvetica doesn’t make it TRUE!Exactly. Who doesn’t follow certain people just to see what awful things they’re going to post and then shoot in a snarky reblog here and there? Isn’t that 66% of the point of following and reblogging? If you don’t want to get sniped at, don’t post your attention-grabbing what-cha-ma-whatever in a publicly accessible location. If you “throw yourself open” to the public, expect point and counterpoint, that’s the kind of free market in ideas that solid bros like Justice Holmes were all about back in the horse-and-buggy days.
Also, FOR FUCK’S SAKE let’s stop this fucking “make an image of text saying something I think is profound but which is really fucking stupid and posting it to try to memeticize it” bullshit. My blood pressure just went up 10 points thinking about this.
So you’re basically saying that the whole point of Tumblr is to follow people and then give them shit for it? GO BACK TO MYSPACE ASSHOLES.
