  • Unironically this is the end result of Hamilton and West Wing and hell even fucking School House Rock (for all the 30 something US Americans). This is real “end of history” thinking. Democracy is the final form, this is it, the problem is that the wrong people keep getting voted in, bad people, because “oh Republicans are stupid” or “oh Russia Boris what time is it in Moscow” or “oh leftists let Trump win”. We just need real people of character to get in there and do politics and reach across the aisle and just have heart to heart talks with fascists and get things done FOR AMERICA because America is perfect! We just keep electing the wrong people but don’t worry we’ll fix it


  • Kinda. This is gonna be super simplistic but like. To be good or moral or ethical or whatever you want to call it. It is not enough to love and support things that are good. You must hate and oppose things that are evil. If you are not capable of hating oppressors with the same conviction as the people who are oppressed, what are you even standing on? Do you think the parents of all the dead Palestinian kids have anything but hate for anyone and everything that claims the title of “Israeli”? Would you stand with them or not? Do you not tremble with indignation at the injustice, as Che said? Really think about whether or not you do.

    This doesn’t mean you necessarily have to go out and find Israeli nationals to harass and you don’t have to send money to Hamas. But you do have to not go online and make weepy posts about “But but but what if they had really good reasons to be colonizers 🥺”














  • Not that weird. There is a lot of perceived value in certain features that there is a level of cultural consensus about but that changes a lot too over time and between sub cultures and everyone has their own personal taste. The chuds are all drooling over Sydney Sweeneys breasts but for me personally there is something weird about her face that I can’t put my finger on. And I much prefer brown hair over blonde so all in all the new “it girl” is not attractive to me at all.

    Context matters too. Keira Knightley in Pirates of the Carribean? Stunning. Pirate queen of my heart. Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice? Boooo. Boring. Why does this version exist. The BBC miniseries with Colin Firth was much better. Same thing with guys. Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Carribean. Meowww. Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings? Also boring. I might actually just have a thing for pirates come to think of it 🤔
