Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

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.

It seems like “fat-fashion” or “fatshion” is basically an excuse for girls to pretend it’s Abstract Halloween all year round. I’m sorry, but whether or not you go outside dressed like that is irrelevant. Does anyone in their right mind actually think this Jackson Pollack upchuck of colours looks “good” on this hipsterpotamus? You look like a clown… and people are right to laugh at you. Can you do whatever you want because it’s your body/your choice/your whatever? Of course… But that won’t stop people from looking and making fun of you if you post that shit online. P.S. I do not have a problem with fat people. I am one. I just have a problem with the ones who dress like Divine.

Glorifying something doesn’t just mean “Guys, I have this wrong with me I’m special. Make me feel better.” It’s not talking about it as the serious problem it is. It’s reblogging ever depressing picture and then talking about how it’s the most tragically beautiful picture on the internet. It’s constantly coddling anyone that says they have these issues. It’s making it seem like it’s this beautiful, deep thing and it’s not. Tumblr makes these issues into more of a trend than anything else, anyone else, anywhere else. And before you bitch about people glorifying these problems, take a good look at your blog, do you really not see anything that could make these problems seem appealing? Not even in the least bit? Really? And this goes for more than just the things listed in the picture, but this is just to get it started.

besides the sun, the sand, and the half naked people running around, I think nike’s are ugly shoes, also I like bananas

If I dressed like a policeman I wouldn’t be surprised if people treated me like one. Dress like a hooker, don’t be surprised when people think you are one.

To me this perpetual thigh gap trend is so fucking ugly and I can’t wait for it be over. I’m so tired of seeing these stupid ass photos on my dash of rail thin torsos and mile wide thigh gaps with obsessive “omg so beautiful and perff<3” reblogs (time to unfollow a bunch of you). If you have one naturally, that’s your body. It depends on your HIP PLACEMENT and measurements. You don’t really get it from losing a shit load of weight from those thinspo blogs you follow. (In some cases you may never know you get one until you do see one) You can be skinny and still have your thighs rub together. Glamorizing it is stupid. FuckYeahThighGap? Lol more like Fuck Your Thigh Gap.
