what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
one off from Caesar :(
As a white male, it's hard to speak against harmful stereotypes against white males when my white male peers are acting exactly like said harmful stereotypes
it's just matrices why is everyone hating
reblog if you think math doesn't deserve all that hate
+He's homophobic I think
some facts about robert prevost (leo xiv) that i think are important to know:
while he was born in chicago, he has spent the vast majority of his life outside of america. he went to rome at a young age, then spent most of his priesthood in peru
pope leo xiii was well known for his interest in social justice -- the fact that prevost chose this name may show that he also nurses an interest
he was one of pope francis' closest advisors
he's described as being balanced in terms of his outlook, but has progressive views on some specific issues, including migrants and poverty
he is relatively young -- we will probably have pope leo xiv for a long time
quote from CBS article: "While Prevost is seen overall as a centrist, on some key social issues he's viewed as progressive. He has long embraced marginalized groups, a lot like Francis, who championed migrants and the poor."
another quote: "Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church." -Robert Barron, bishop of a diocese in Minnesota
so while it does leave a bad taste in the mouth to have an american pope at this time, he is definitely not the kind of pope trump will like, nor will the conservative base. while he probably won't catapult the church into a lot of uncharted territory, he does look as if he will at the very least continue and support the work francis laid the groundwork for
additional information:
apparently he is involved in sexual assault coverups -- not fantastic, but to be honest the entire catholic church is so incredibly guilty of this it's not surprising
robert prevost has tweeted five times since joining twitter. one of those tweets was telling jd vance he does not understand love
updating information: "He didn't cover up those cases though. It seems like he opened the investigation in the case of the two women who were abused and encouraged them to go to the police, and then the investigation was closed by someone higher up than him afterwards. With the priest who abused kids, yes he let the abuser live at the priory—under supervision, which given that abusers have to live SOMEWHERE I'm glad that it was somewhere he was being observed. (In any case when the USCCB revised the rules two years later to be stricter, the abuser was moved somewhere else; Prevost was just following regulations as they existed at the time.) As for the accusations Sodalitum has made against him, Sodalitum themselves were dissolved last year for having a shitton of sexual abuse going on in their group, and since Prevost was part of shutting them down they hate his guts; any accusations they've made against him are extremely sus at best." this information seems reliable, but needs evidence attached to it. it is public knowledge that Sodalitum were dissolved (by Pope Francis).
even more information:
robert prevost was a high-ranking augustinian -- this order is notoriously pro-immigrant, pro-environment, and anti-materialism to the point of criticising capitalism
i already mentioned that the previous pope leo was something of a social activist. specifically, pope leo xiii specifically championed worker's rights

Does anyone actually like using OpenGL or was that all just a trick to make get depression?
The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself - this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc - and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.

Listen, from one white person to another, white guilt isn't constructive. Just feeling bad and beating yourself up over your skin color isn't going to fix any injustices.
Don't feel like you need to apologize for being white, just do good and don't be an ass.
I assume you're talking about that post I made - I meant "they have a point though, a lot of other white people are ass"
You have never seen such an ugly McFish burger before.
