I Love You And We Will Make It Thru This Together

I know this is debate lord type shit but I do get legitimately mad when people defend openly unscientific ways of approaching social phenomena like you are doing pure ideology while calling yourself sensible and you don’t even know that your definition of sensible is itself ideological. not like me though I’m openly biased and ideological I love picking sides and dying on hills

it’s crazy the route and semantic drift that 808 has undergone to what it means today

is the US government fa-- no i'm just kidding, it's my turn to ask you that next week. do you think that the occasional criticisms of tumblr as the "moral OCD website", or just generally viewing interactions online or irl through a lens of moral OCD as a social/communal phenomenon, are useful? i know it's not intended to be of any particular function other than winning arguments online but i still wonder about it.

I mean moral OCD is an ironic or joking way to describe it, this is really just ascetic guilt-based morality. This is what happens when people think responsibility and accountability are the end all be all of politics and have a hard dichotomy between purity/goodness and impurity/guilt so they always want to be the ones holding accountable and never the ones being held accountable. It’s an extreme version of what popular radical liberal morality used to be because as a website and subculture Tumblr operates like a sealed vivarium

Americans are so fucking Oedipalized, the whole election culture war was just them debating whether you should prefer Mommy or Daddy. They kept saying it so explicitly too, like JD Vance talking about how Trump is daddy and was coming home to put mommy in her place (???) and the constant Blue MAGA posting about Momala or whatever
