My leftist beliefs are informed by the singular idea that bad things happening is to expected, and fighting for good will always stack the odds against you. You have to be ready for the worst. Organize, uplift, and fight for whats right as if you're the only one left.
There are many people freaking out, and rightfully so. But RBG was pushing 90 and had health problems for a while. This was always a possibility, same as Joe losing is a possibility. You have to act with the worst outcome in mind.
What will you do if voting fails you? If a conservative judge is shoved through? Plan for that eventuality first, then move on to good eventualities.
Don't be discouraged and quit, but ALWAYS expect the worst. Because this world doesn't give a shit about what you WANT to happen
Essentially I am now only shocked when good things happen. Bad things happening barely makes me flinch.
Don't give up, but always have a backup plan. Make sure you have people you can rely on, a support network, a community. Thats what will get you through whats to come.

keep making new ambiguous and arbitrary restritctions on art please.
lets start measuring body porportions of electric mutant rats to make sure they're not "adolescent".
I trust the mod team will be able to judge this fairly.
I am really not sure how furaffinity's previous policy about art depicting minors doesn't already cover this. why call out pokemon amd digimon specifically?
Are we really gonna do the "Sonic fanart is underage porn unless you draw them specifically like this" bullshit again?
this was a real thing by the way. absolutely pointless granularity, glad we're gonna do it again!
why the fuck does every single fnaf song sound like walmart brand backstreet boys. its mind-boggling. If I wanted to hear some twink sing about furries I'd put on Pent Up Pup
I don't know how they do it but I can INSTANTLY tell if a song is a fnaf fansong. they ALL sound the same.
This is the most clean-cut case of internalized-homophobia I've ever seen in my life
he posted his entire life story and most of it is just....blaming others for his own personal choices and then being extremely confused that being gay meant more than being an ultra-fem bottom being dominated by a super-chad mega top.
Its staggergingly clear that he is using his unresolved trauma from being in an abusive relationship to lash out at gay people, trans people, and also ethnic minorities because why not.
Quoting suicide stats and using the "economic factors" dogwhistle to refer to PoC.
If you attended Trotcon this weekend you may have seen people carrying green plushies around. These are called "Anonfillies" and are part of the same project.
Its important to stress that they should NOT be judged as hate symbols, as they're totally separate concepts.
The idea behind Aryanne is simple: use it as a in-group identifier for other right-wing members of the pony community who support nazism, while having just enough plausible deniability to make anyone who asks questions seem like they're overreacting.
The common refrain from people who defend Aryanne are that its just a joke or satire.
But some /mlp/ users have grown weary of this excuse and seem to be growing tired of the nazis currently infesting the board.
The right's messaging about LGBT folks is specifically worded to imply that we are coming for other people's kids when the exact opposite is true.
Right-wingers are the ones actually coming for other people's kids, oftentimes travelling cross-country to terrorize queer events.
Its important to understand that the wording here is deliberate. Even if its an event that only consenting parents attended, its still an attack against YOUR kids, somehow.
Thus you get fascists in libraries yelling about their daughters (who didn't actually attend the event)
If you point this out to fascists, the replies range from equating drag shows to beating and starving to making up laws that don't actually exist.
The logic doesn't really matter here. Queer people existing AT ALL is an affront to them, and all their arguments stem from that.
So elon musk reposted a Hard Drive article without credit and when he got called out for it (and ratio'd) he deleted the original post and whined about wokeness.
To top it all off he then declared the meme wasn't that funny anyway so THERE. Actual spoiled child behavior lmao.
Do people honestly think this guy is some bastion of free speech? I guess if you're definition of the term means "I can be a shithead to anyone I don't like with no consequences" then he's your guy.
I don't understand how you can have billions of dollars and still care about shitposting on twitter. If I had that much money I'd open a world-class music studio solely for pony and furry music groups and you would see me here maybe once a month.
