Just a girl living in captivity

very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them

also, animal farm is not just anti-communist, but anti-revolution in general. the whole point of the story is if you overthrow your oppressor the new order will just become the same as the one it replaced! the story offers no suggestion of how the animals could have overthrown the farmer without the pigs becoming exactly like them, it just seems to begin and end with "never overthrown your oppressor because you'll end up right back where you started anyways." bleak and ugly story.

Idk, maybe the "communist" who opposed all actually-existing communist projects and snitched on Black, Jewish, and gay communists to the British government had some slightly reactionary politics, actually

The fact that RFK JR was a long term cocaine and heroin user and eats road kill and has mercury poisoning and is suppressing/falsifying information about FUCKING TYLENOL, VACCINES AND SSRIS being toxic/destroying your brain is salt in the wound. No offense to other current and former cocaine, heroin and roadkill consumers, love you guys, but the hypocrisy of being that guy and not a doctor and trying to tell me my lifesaving medication is unsafe and attempting to ban makes me have to white-knuckle my phone every time I read the bullshit he is saying.

If these people had any self-respect they'd become neo-cons and stop pretending to hide behind their faux progressivism when they all sound like a bunch of racists.

the problem with liberal zionists is that they're just mini-ben gvirs

at this point i don't get why they won't just drop the act. even Israelis themselves are no longer pretending to care about 'peace in the Middle East', or putting on the faux progressive mask that kept liberals in the west compliant for so long. they've become so consumed by their genocidal hysteria that it's now impossible to pretend that zionism is anything other than a form of racial supremacy and domination of the indigenous peoples it deems racially inferior, but liberal zionists somehow think, what, that we can't see this? that we can't hear and read what Israelis really believe? that they aren't proudly and gleefully posting their crimes and atrocities for all the world to see?

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

i think maybe "sapphic yearning" is a kind of false consciousness that justifies one's own continued immiseration

i was once a yearner but at a certain point you have to grow up and let your private, overwrought fantasies confront real love in the real world and put yourself at the mercy of honest dealing with people
