Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

I don’t understand why one direction is hated much. I understand if their music isn’t your taste. but as far as I can tell they’re pretty decent human beings. they’re nice to their fans, and they haven’t done anything to seriously damage their reputation. while I am a fan of theirs, I feel exactly the same about other artists. I felt like this about Justin Bieber until he began making poor decisions. I really don’t understand what people find so horrible about most pop artists. it’s okay to not like their music, but I don’t see the point in the cold blooded hate most people seem to have for them. want to talk about it? niall-wh0rean.tumblr.com/ask

Taylor Swift is the one artist today I respect 100% She puts personal details about her life into songs and releases them for the entire world to hear. She dates guys and picks herself back up again when she’s heartbroken. She spends hours with fans to thank them for her success. She wrote a song for Ronan. She can’t really sing all that well but guess who cares? Not her. She manages to be sexy without going overboard. She can be gracious and silly at the same time. I think Taylor is brave, classy and beautiful. You go Taylor Swift. You fucking go.

Given the fact that my generation is better educated as a whole than others, I’d like to think that we’re capable of solving some of the problems left by the previous two or three generations, but when I look at things like Tumblr, I realize that’s never going to happen. You’d think the generation that grew up being told we could do/be anything we wanted, only to graduate college right as the economy collapsed, would be eager to roll up its sleeves and fix the grossly unfair economic system that benefits the wealthy at the expense of everyone else. Instead, we have Tumblr… where every PC-Thug and Social-Justice-Tryhard is so preoccupied calling themselves “oppressed victims of white malehood,” that they can’t fathom banding together with their enemy, “the patriarchy” to cut the wealthy down to size. Even when that idea is pointed out to them, they’re so distracted by the “race and sex” of the wealthy that they can’t understand that it’s irrelevant to solving the problem. The solution is not to make more rich minorities. The solution is to make fewer rich people and enrich everyone else, white, black, man, woman, whatever. Human history is one long struggle between the haves and have-nots, i.e. rich and poor. The reason the rich stay rich is because they put all their effort into playing the poor against each other, just like here on tumblr: i.e. “You’re white, you have privilege. You’re straight. You have privilege. You’re male, you have privilege. You’re thin. You have privilege,” or even something as mundane as, “You like this, ergo I don’t like you. You hate that, ergo I hate you.” When the poor argue amongst themselves, fighting over who has it worse, who’s right or wrong, the rich just laugh all the way to the bank. Free tip, proletariat… YOU’RE ALL WRONG. Wake me when my generation actually grows up and stops arguing amongst themselves about social justice, and starts focusing on the REAL problem: economic justice. Tax the wealthy. Stop government handouts to businesses. Stop having kids. Nationalize the energy and healthcare industries.

I HATE the stupid young people who are now fans of Star Trek due to the movie relaunch of the original series. You were NEVER Star Trek fans. Don’t pretend. You just watch it now to cream over the Abercrombie and Fitch models known as Kirk and Spock. Where were you when Leonard Nimoy graced the small screen with his deep, relaxing voice and zen attitude? Where were you when Patrick Stewart solved one interstellar diplomatic crisis after another, all without taking his shirt off or resorting to “cowboy diplomacy”? I’ll tell you where you were: Busy waiting for someone to make Star Trek more “sexy” and “bang bang shoot-em-up” so you and your ADHD brains could pay attention enough to see what a rich and interesting universe it is.

I didn’t find the ‘Mishapocalypse’ funny, and if there’s a second one, I’m going to throw my laptop out the fucking window. Same applies to the proposed ‘Sherpocalypse’.
