Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/[email protected] - General memes

I mean at the same time that's meant to be the advantage of a democracy
When everyone is pushing their own self interests, more often than not things ought to average out close to a compromise everyone can accept
Which is, frankly, a ridiculous concept. If you only ever consider your own wants, compromise (a necessary concept in any non-authoritarian system) is impossible.
Balance of self interests is literally the entire concept of politics and economics
