it's nauseating how much human rights rhetoric is used to prop up the violence of capitalism. I know this is an absolutely tepid point to make on hexbear.net but like... fuck, it's just gross
No you're 100% the naked hipocrisy and selfish cruelty of it never stops being revolting. I think half the reason we all shitpost so much is we're essentially hiding in absurdity because trying to raw-dog this society after you've seen the rot behind the mask is too maddening.

you hit the nail on the head. i have to engage with the global news through shitposting because i don't have the emotional fortitude to take it head on. Frankly, I'd be concerned if someone did have the emotional strength to take it all at face value
There is an entire thesis to be written on the parallels between internet memes, particularly since 2008, and the Dadaist and Surrealist movements that sprang from WWI.
So true like I can't go up to people and say "fuck human rights" because they'll think I'm the one who wants to murder a bunch of college students. Fucking wild.
