Capitalism isn’t bad. This is just a distorted form of capitalism.
I can’t resist the chance to answer this one with another bullshit liberal quote from the same Tumblr: “What? You say capitalism can be good? We need to be realistic. There is no precedent for what you’re proposing. hahaha!
I think that shows like Big Bang Theory, which people point to as glorification of ‘geeks’, are really subtle reinforcement of the negative stereotypes about such folks, intended to make the people around them, who often have these inferiority complexes with respect to them, feel better about themselves. “See? Studying math and science and stuff makes you a crippled, awkward human being who is a prick and may only have friends out of pity! You’re just great by comparison, aren’t you, Normal Person?” seems to be the takeaway message, after the laugh-track has faded and the soothing commercials overtake all.
S/he didn’t even get the joke right. “I’m 12, and what is this?”, or, more realistically, hysterical giggling as the kid learns a new emoticon or responds with a ruder one.
Shit is rough all over… most people I know would love to support artists, but we don’t all have secure living situations…. what a scam
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?
TYPING IN ALL CAPS MAY NOT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER, BUT AT LEAST IT SPREADS THE MISERY AROUND
