The Anti-Tumblr

Hello there, friends!

I'm Nick, a 23-year old white male who is a humanist and believes that all lives matter.

If you already haven't been triggered to death and have already started writing diatribes in the comments: stick around, it gets worse!

I think that third-wave feminism is bullshit, and that SJWs (social justice warriors) are like cancer and AIDS all mixed into one small group of petulant children (trapped in adult bodies).

Still here? Well I'm glad you've made it this far, but can you handle this next round of statements?

I consider myself a left-leaning centrist. I don't believe in the oppression of the "white straight christian male patriarchy". I think that we're all equally capable of the same behavior, and no one should get a free pass because of any of their superficial qualities such as skin color, religion, and yes, even gender. I'm not a feminist, I'm an egalitarian who fights for equal rights. Yes, there is a huge difference between the two.

Alright, now that we have those blasphemous ideologies out of the way, I will get around to why I'm here in the first place.

Before this blog, my main medium for social discourse was Facebook. I would post these long, passionate statuses about my opinions of the current social climate. I've been doing this since I was sixteen. But while transitioning into adulthood after college, I've been re-evaluating my political views and I've begun largely reject the things I was told in my staunchly liberal university. It actually makes me cringe to see the things I posted when I didn't know current social issues as much as I thought I did. Of course, I'm still learning to incorporate right-wing concepts into my perspective, but one thing I value very highly is knowledge. I'm a thinker; I like to question, explore, and understand the world around me. While I can do my research, I can't share my findings and interpretations without upsetting the belligerent left, who vehemently push their carefully constructed ideal onto others and declare it as the only way to live (under the guise of tolerance and acceptance). Not agreeing with these so-called "progressives" and "feminists" results in a flurry of hate speech, attacking your personality, opinions, thoughts, rhetoric, and sometimes, reason for existence. And then, when you tell them to stop attacking you, they tell you to stop playing the victim (even though playing the victim is what they do best).

Now, before I go any further, I'll give you some relief and flip the coin for a second. I'm not saying that the alt-right (a.k.a The Tea Party) is any better because they too have loud voices but small-minded understanding of the world. I do not pledge allegiance to one political party because neither side is as informed as they think they are. I'm not claiming to be the messiah of politics, here, but I at least am cognizant of the fact that nothing is one-sided, and you can't honestly say you're 'enlightened' or 'aware' until you have all the facts and have considered every side of the topic at hand.

With that said, I'll move on to why I'm calling this blog "The Anti-Tumblr". Basically, if you have any working knowledge of the internet, you might have come across the name or the actual website known as Tumblr. In a nutshell, it is the SJW mecca of the worldwide web. If you find hypocritical and illogical rants from the alt-left funny, then this is the website for you. But other than entertainment, this website is a toxic one because it's a place for like-minded people to build each other up through nonsensical, one-sided discourse. I want to provide some sort of antithesis to that. Like I said before, the point of this blog isn't to criticize one side of the spectrum, but to provide my own commentary from a central-minded point of view. You are free to comment whatever you'd like, and you can do it without the fear of persecution. I've adamantly said that no one should back down from alt-right radicals, and alt-left radicals are no longer an exception.

As this blog progresses, I plan on tackling a variety of social issues (big or small). Beware! Political correctness is not going to be my first priority in any thing I'll discuss.
