knowlegable, powerful and fucking furious

accusations of "whataboutism" are a particularly childish piece of sophistry, where the interlocutor is pretending to not know what they are actually arguing about and are annoyed that you won't play along

when an anticommunist talks about so-and-so soviet atrocity, and a communist points out that this atrocity, however genuinely bad, pales in comparison to the scale of imperialist violence perpetrated daily by the united states, or that it represents a significant transformation from the much worse state of affairs in tsarist russia -- this is 'cheating' in the rigged game the anticommunist has constructed, because it is acknowledging that they are not in fact discussing the atrocity in and of itself for no reason, but in fact forwarding the argument that this atrocity is uniquely indicting of the USSR specifically and communism more broadly. by bringing up context and points of comparison you are addressing this, the real point, and not letting them play their silly game where they pretend they are only arguing about the specifics of a particular historical event and no more

love how the average sansa and cersei interaction is literally just cersei cornering this seventh grader whenever she’s bored and being like “tell me something sansa. do you believe in kindness” and sansa going “umm well since you’re asking. yeah. I like it when people are nice” only for cersei to be like “lmao you are so fucking STUPID. what kind of backwards worldview is this 😂🫵 now shut up while I monologue about why you, a 12 year old child, deserve to die” and then sansa nods and goes back to disassociating.

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

you'd think occasionally men would need to touch other men like this to manoeuvre them out of the way but it never happens

im sorry it's so funny to me how aemond and aegon are having a telepathic argument about which of them was their mother's favorite child and all the while she literally traded them both in a heartbeat for helaena's life weeks ago
