Ah, I see you’re an Old School RuneScape player too
I try to assume that the ‘now’ is ‘the good old days’, and act (and pay attention to what’s happening) accordingly. It’s hella hard sometimes, though.
Almost exactly the lyrics from Malik Harris’s song Rockstars for Germany at Eurovision.
You must be really fucking privileged if the idea that now is the time we have it right, gives you any hope or comfort whatsoever
You’ve missed the point. It’s assuming things will get worse. Says nothing about how “right” this time is.
That’s not the point, the idea is years from now there will be things that stood out from this time and you’ll’ve remembered them fondly, without the hurt and the struggle that stand out to you now.
The wish is that now we can focus on the good things, the things that are happening now and enjoy them as fondly as we will remember them.
Thank you! Couldn’t say it better myself
Nice hamster.
the idea is years from now there are things that stood out from this time and you remember them fondly, without the hurt and the struggle that stand out to you now.
So… whitewash history for the nostalgia and warm fuzzies? Like I say, really fucking privileged…
I’ll tell you one thing for sure, and from personal experience from growing up around holocaust survivors - they don’t look back at their lives in Nazi Germany and have times they remember fondly. Even individual moments of joy they may have experienced are completely overshadowed by pain and trauma.
Non-Jewish(/queer/communist/Roma) Germans? That’s a different story.
So I’ll say it again - You must be really fucking privileged if you think you’ll be able to look back at this time in history fondly, and regard it as “the good old days” (even when things get much worse, and they will).
I can’t imagine many people think fondly about time spent with you.
As stressed as I am and as scared as I am I will remember the time I spent loving and caring for my partner and my queer friends. It doesn’t take privilege to find and love in a community, it is what we do. If you have trauma I understand how you feel, and I urge you to seek help when/if you can, professional or otherwise. Just don’t be alone, and try to have hope.
Whooooooshhhhhhh!
