Posting fed his need for attention but also trapped him in a loop that accelerated his derangement and exposed his ignorance and naivete. It's crazy to have a diagram of your descent into madness

Reminded of how around like 2015 influencers in I think hong kong were buying leicas and literally just carrying them around without a lens as a status symbol thing

cameras made in the wrong germany. reactionary, anti-proletarian, smacks of lingering fascism

And the fun thing is that if you go back and look and do all the calculations, since the beginning of time Leicas have ALWAYS been priced at what I like to think of as ‘the dickhead level’. Your shit cost like $5000 new in 1935 and everybody hated you then, too

Was it fun buying a camera you are too scared to use because if you get a single scratch on the body or the completely uncoated lens you will violate your own terms of service to a mortal end

‘Ach niiiiie eine Woche has passed ich musste mein Leica auf der Leicadoktor senden und pay £50000000000 to have das stupid fucking rangefinder calibrated AGAIN’ and other sentences of the completely deranged

there is no ethical way to own a Leica
I bought it with my own money = you have too much of it, face the wall
I inherited it = from who, your grandpa Adolf Hitler, because you’re a Nazi?
I found it in a charity shop for £5 = nobody believes you and you will not receive Reddit gold, only death

you buy a Leica and show off a photo you’re proud of that you took on an Olympus ten years before you could ever have bought a Leica. what’s up dickhead, shit picture, you think you’re Robert Capa now or what

- still hanging onto a doctrinal conservatism that makes it fundamentally unprepared for new questions in modern life

- kind of just forced into it by default when you’re young
- start appreciating it later when you’re a trans woman and feeling a bit directionless
- lots of tea
- primary concern is how to maintain old buildings and deliver an acceptable level of service to an aging congregation

I’d honestly respect that a lot more than just giving a guy an order to charge his regiment up a hill into a fortified French line

Also this one, which is very funny given that Blenheim Palace was built for the victor of the Battle of Blenheim, the first Duke of Marlborough, who at that battle killed 27,000 people
