And if there's multiple, you can bet one is the shy one and one is the gregarious one. Or other similar contrast. this simple fact is key to the hypocrisy of fascism. It's so simple, and yet their demand for conformity is their downfall. For people will naturally become themselves, and their "self" is naturally different than the people around them. the world they so dearly cling to is an oroborous - a snake eating it's tail. however... it is also the source of fascism. For if everyone is kind, there will be one, perhaps some, who are hateful. This is natural, but it's not... ideal. As a person grows up, their choices reflect what they believe. They may choose to be hateful, or they may choose to be prideful. I rather pride than hate. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2939 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── "you look like a mess who can't take care of herself" oh haha that's because I'm a mess who can't take care of herself ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2941 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1209 she might have heard about how the movie is a critical examination of the military industrial complex and "jingoism" and thought it applied to the book as well. little did she know the movie was critiquing the book in addition to the rest. (fantastic movie btw, fascist book tho) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2942 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: subtoot │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-570 no! I do on the splash page to my website: www.ritzmenardi.com it's literally just a link tho, you don't have to trust me to click it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2943 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── every day I have between 200 and 1000 people visit my website for the past year or three, and yet my most listened to song still has only 52 plays xD I'm just gonna assume people are downloading it from the direct link instead of clicking the "play" button with built-in-tracking or whatever. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
