I really truly do not understand people who vote, voted, and did not look up what things meant.
How can you vote for someone not understand what they’re for?!?!
This is a rhetorical question. I don’t understand the mentality, but i acknowledge that it exists and know those reasons.
This exact same thing happened 8 years ago. There were tons of posts just like this 8 years ago. The root of the problem is people choosing disinformation over facts, and I genuinely don’t know how we fix it.
A big reason I can prob never truly quit Tumblr is this is the only website where I can read
[goof joke post about, say, Scandanavian geese]
[witty rejoinder]
followed by “Actually? I’m an ornithologist specializing in the migratory patterns of three specific species of geese over the Scandanavian peninsula, here’s a genuinely fascinating short essay about a highly specific field of work and study, I took quite a lot of time out of my day to write this just because I wanted to share my passion, you’re welcome”
it rules
Yes! This, exactly.
The degree of integration between the shitposts and the deep dives, and the ease of the culture with the transitions just brings joy to my heart on a regular basis.
