Y'all keep swearing oaths. I can't open a post without someone swearing to destroy capitalism, so help them god. How many of you have fulfilled those oaths? New site rule I propose: NO MORE SWEARING OATHS UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY MEAN IT. Come on, this is basic shit, my parents taught me when I was 4 years old not to swear a blood oath that I will not misbehave at pre-school unless I actually meant it and thought I could follow through, which I sure as shit did not. A sworn oath may be a source of strength if it is possible to fulfill, but if it can't, it is naught but the seeds of disappointment, despair, and despondency. Worse yet, when someone hears your sworn oath and counts on you to at least try to fulfill it but you didn't mean it, you let them down, possibly even putting them in danger.

If I have to see one more person swear an oath on their axe, or on the lock of hair their mother gave their father to protect him on his dangerous quest a few years before having their Hexbearian child, or by the feathers of their favorite neighborhood crow, I will lose my mind and pester them every day asking "how's that sworn oath going? Achieve it yet? Still sticking to it? Still mean it? Or do your promises mean nothing to you? Does the acorn that fell from the tallest oak tree on the tallest hill bearing the sweet baby grubs of the adorable acorn weevil, upon which you swore eternal hatred for our capitalist overlords, mean nothing to you now that you're up for a promotion and all it takes is to rat out the union organizers at your workplace? Do the songs of the bluejays, upon which you swore your eternal love for the weak and defenseless of the world, mean nothing to you now that your 401K depends on you casting your voooooote for the most warmongering candidate? Do the last petals falling off the apple tree blossoms from that tree on the corner, upon which you swore to take me for ice cream soon longer ago than the window of "soon"ness, mean absolutely nothing to you?!

If I have to see one more person swearing an oath on this site I will spam you every day to pester you into standing by your word! This I swear on ~~my fervent desire that the adorable canada goslings I saw while walking around yesterday live long, healthy, happy lives~~ NOPE I'm not going to swear that oath even as a bit lest I invite HPAI into their lives because no way do I have the commitment to message a hundred people daily things like "hey, you swore to post at least once a day every day until PSL actually wins an election but it's almost midnight and I haven't seen you post beanis even once, do you need an accountability buddy or do you just not care about a proletarian revolution in the imperial core?"
