Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah, it's a bit fucked to call things "unprocessed anger" etc etc when the things that caused what we're angry about are at best still happening and more likely getting worse.

I've seen certain politicians described as "too angry" before their eventual replacement. You know what, I want an anger politician, just one who is angry about real issues. I want somebody who realizes how shitty things are for the average citizen and wants them to change, then gets angry at the fuckers who sit with their thumbs up their ass with thoughts, prayers and empty platitudes while collecting massive paycheques (and bribes) then actively calls them out.

Note that this doesn't mean I want a dumbass who complains about "foreign smoke " or lies and abuses issues while acting like a petulant toddler who didn't get their way out or personally profit, I just want somebody who actually cares and if they do... then fuck yes they should actually be angry about the way things are and the direction they're going.
