tom nook is NOT a landlord!!! he is a construction worker! he SELLS you a WHOLE HOUSE! He is not CHARGING YOU however many bells a month to live there! You PURCHASE a HOME that he BUILDS FOR YOU and then you PAY HIM FOR HIS SERVICE. He charges no interest he sets no time limit it is a relationship built on trust. the only penalty you get for not paying off your home is that he won't build more home until you pay him for the first one. A guy that builds you a house wherever you want him to and then charges you for the cost of construction is not a landlord you own the fucking home

He is, however, in the mafia

we very often see comprador bourgeois and mercenary collaborators emerge from a colonized group, including colonized people who enlist in the colonial military; their collaboration doesn't typically change the material situation of the colonized group as a whole. it does change the terrain of struggle, in that it further entrenches the colonial regime. in my view that's the dynamic playing out when Native people occupied by the so-called US enlist in its military. it's just ahistorical to pretend that's unique to the internal colonies of the imperial core, and not a near universal aspect of the colonial condition. we can hold collaborators to account for their monstrous crimes both as individuals, and as a class which is manifestly distinct from the colonized lumpenproletariat. that's pretty boilerplate fanonian decolonial theory. it doesn't make sense to either deny their existence and paint the colonized group in question as universally innocent, OR to leverage their existence to paint the colonized group as universally corrupt. there are always going to be colonized people, often a considerable segment of a colonized population, that think collaboration with colonizers is a better deal than resistance, and will do horrible things to secure personal gains. this is just as true among colonized people outside the imperial core as inside; none of our peoples can claim moral purity and anyone trying to do so is coming from a disingenuous, ego-protective place that's antithetical to the work of liberation

there’s a post on tumblr about like. if you could do something to bring people a little relief, why wouldn’t you do it? which has unironically informed my practice as a nursing student and patient care tech

Killed this ant that came in the kitchen and the next day it came right back but it was holding a needle. Killed it again and it came back the next day wearing a cape and then I noticed I had a giant HP bar labeled KITCHEN BEHEMOTH and I was like man cmon dont call me that

If the people in the NYPost were in the Nuremberg trial, they would've been executed together with Julius Streicher.

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
