My Political Manifesto

In order for an ideal society to come into being, there must be certain agreed upon elements. Number one: Extensive Social Programs are needed. I don't care if you're conservative or progressive. I'm probably a bit of both in different ways myself (I hate change in my personal life and I like monarchies, but I like things like socialism).

Whether you be Conservative or Progressive, you must acknowledge the importance of a social safety net. If you can't do that, then clearly you don't have empathy for those who can't care for themselves or who might not be able to work (like me). In all cases, social programs are a necessary facet of government.

And when I say extensive social programs, I mean extensive. I don't care fully if we get rid of money, but we really need to at least devalue it. Money is just paper. You can always print more. Economics are a scam created to support the idea that money is fundamentally a part of society. It isn't. It can be, but it doesn't have to be. If you need to print more money to provide for all these social programs, do it. Nobody can stop you. It's just paper, after all. Merely paper society has convinced us contains deep value and significance.

Getting back to the Extensive Social Programs, they truly will need to be expansive in their power. We need a UBI, a national healthcare system, Unemployment Insurance and Benefits, Disability Insurance and Benefits, etc. We will need all the social programs. A government that doesn't provide for its citizens cannot be said to be a truly compassionate government.

Once society has agreed to support all these extensive social programs unconditionally, then the main mission I have been pushing for will be complete. I still have other objectives politically, of course. But my first priority is making sure that the government knows to care for all of it's peoples. If you can't work or if you're incredibly shy or if you otherwise can't function in this cutthroat world of ours, the government should care for you and make sure you're not neglected. If the government isn't willing to do this, then they have abandoned the people. And once they've abandoned their people, no government can be fully and truly legitimate.

Once society has learned how to care for its citizens (cost be damned! You can't put a price on these services! Not when they help so many!), then my main goal is finished. Once we've learned that you can't put a price on helping people, then I will be at peace. I have taught people that economics and fiscal matters are all nonsense and idiocy invented by people in the 1700s. Economics were not around when humanity was first created. They are a social construct, and a useless one at that. The sooner they're stamped out the better I say!

Once I have destroyed the foul spectre of capitalism and economics, there's only a few more things I'd want to advocate for. I would advocate for pacifism and a promotion of peace on a global scale.

I would also advocate for the abandonment of most forms of social conservatism. I understand it's easy to be afraid of the unfamiliar (I've been afraid of new things too), but you can't use that fear as an excuse torment people who are different from you. We are all humans. We all think, we all feel. You cannot be so quick to judge. A little Conservatism in your personal life and affairs is one thing (lord knows I've been afraid of changes in my personal life), but conservatism should never be used an excuse to discriminate against those who are different from you. That's the opposite of my message with my Social Programs: For a society to function, you must have compassion for those around you. Social Conservatism tends to destroy that empathetic quality in people. It is not a good ideology, not at all.

I would also advocate for monarchism (or at least not for the abolishment of monarchies). Even in this ideal world of mine, I don't see the problem with monarchies. They are a good rallying point for people, and it would also just be unfair to get rid of most of them. I'd be fine with making them only symbolic figureheads, but we shouldn't abolish them. That usually leads to cruelty and unnecessary violence. Anyone who is so devoted to the abolishment of monarchism that they want to have a repeat of the French Revolution has ignored my tenant of compassion and empathy. You may not like royal families, but killing them is just inhumane. Monarchs are people too. And all people deserve compassion and empathy. Complete hatred of someone leads to violence, and that always ends badly.

Also, outlaw eugenics and impose harsh penalties on anything promoting survival of the fittest ideologies. I understand Charles Darwin was a genius biologist, but I legitimately think this world would be better off without evolution. Too many people use it to promote hateful beliefs and violence against people with disabilities.

Although I have a lot of other beliefs too, I think this is a good place to stop for now. If you want to establish a movement, there's got to be room for at least some mild disagreement between members of the movement. But as long as people can rally behind my core tenants of extensive social programs and a government/society that shows compassion to all its members, then I think I can really make this into a movement.

but i know the existence of peace is fragile

and the leaders of our kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves…

…so i ask you: when the first shots are fired

who do you think you can trust?

#no thoughts head empty just #dwelling again on the way #rhodes IS atlas in cinder’s mind #so much that even the overtly political #''this is a callout for general ironwood'' #part of her manifesto is also abt rhodes #the literal account of what rhodes did to her becomes her allegorical condemnation of atlas itself #and with it the huntsmen academies that created atlas and created rhodes and created her too #tasty! #(when i typed tasty the tag suggestions were tasty treats and then tasty kitty. who let kitling ripe in here)

there’s so many ways that queerness exists in texts, unintentionally and intentionally, coded and uncoded and partially coded and baited and confused and limited and expansive, and then there’s whatever is happening with Hawkeye Pierce, M.D. of the 4077th MASH unit

#hawkeye pierce #MASH #there is of course also the constant mist of gender/sexuality queering that hangs over the narrative because of its structure #its structure as comedy (often subject to whimsical departures from acceptable gender/sexualities) #its structure as anti-establishment and anti-conformity #its celebration of non-conformist personalities and lives and its redefinitions over and over of madness and mutual aid #its structure - of course - as found family #its structure as an island in a sea of militant and fascistic surrealism and answering the questions of: #well what does the alternative to that violence look like? #so the idea of intentionality/unintentionality sort of doesn't matter #because it's creating a manifesto/ethos of sorts that speaks the same language as queerness #and it's down to the DNAs of its structures #(not even mentioning the structures of echoing the realities of those making it -- ethnicities - romantic lives - cultures and religions - #friendships and political beliefs - family structures created on the set of the show itself) #but yes hawkeye pierce is depicted as fascinatingly overtly queer and comedy is (like horror... which....) an acceptable space #for him to be this #(which -- when the horror and tragedy takes more of a front seat his funny-man queerness is somewhat diminished #but a. still very much present b. given an air of drama that legitimises it further c. underpinned by seasons and seasons of existence #d. embedded in that self-same DNA of the structures -- he IS the main POV character #which means he's carrying so much of that idea of non-conformity/civilish disobedience as good and right/whimsy/gender-and-sexuality/etc #so you see... there's whatever is happening with hawkeye pierce M.D.

Donald Trump took the stage in Greensboro, N.C. last Saturday calling for rounding up millions of Latinos across America and putting them in mass detention camps as part of “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.” Unfortunately, this kind of rhetoric has become so common among the MAGA Republican playlist that it’s tempting to see it as a joke. But that wasn’t just somebody’s racist grandfather running off at the mouth or a standup comedian with bad taste playing to the crowd. My parents and grandparents would have called it a dog whistle, but my generation should know it’s a bullhorn. But whatever you call it, it was calculated, drafted, tested and approved as part of the far-right Project 2025 plan to turn back the clock on civil rights, women’s rights, workers’ rights and democracy itself. It was the white Christian nationalist agenda on full public display in all its un-American glory and we can’t afford to take it lightly.

Now, if you haven’t heard about Project 2025, don’t feel bad. Most people haven’t. Founded in 2022 by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, it’s an organization led by Trump insiders preparing for one nation under Trump if the twice impeached and four times indicted former president wins the November election and to call them dangerous is an understatement.

What do you think about overhauling federal law enforcement so that the Department of Justice and the FBI, designed to be independent and insulated from political influence, were controlled directly by a newly elected and emboldened President Trump so he could protect his minions from investigation, arrest and prosecution no matter how many laws they broke? Project 2025 loves the idea.

Want to bypass the Senate confirmation process and stop notifying Congress when we sell weapons to foreign governments? Project 2025 does. What about terminating every diversity, equity and inclusion program in the federal government? Project 2025 says right on. What do you think about invoking martial law, using the military as local law enforcement and locking up Trump opponents? Project 2025 calls that progress.

But how do they plan on doing all this? After all, the federal government is more than just one person in the Oval Office. Trump already learned that lesson when federal employees and even some of his own appointees refused to break the law just because he said so.

But Project 2025 has a solution to that roadblock. They call it Schedule F and it’s a plan to fire as many as 50,000 federal employees and replace them with dyed-in-the-wool MAGA fanatics who swear their loyalty not to America or the Constitution but to Donald J. Trump. They’re not even trying to keep it a secret. But why would they?

You see, Project 2025 isn’t confused about who they are. They’re the MAGA Manifesto committed to the unapologetic vision of right-wing nationalism and they don’t care who knows it. Let’s be honest, these guys are attacking President Biden for pushing “racial equity in every area of our national life, including in employment.” Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Are we supposed to think our president should not be fighting for equality and justice?

That’s what Project 2025 says. But that shouldn’t surprise us. After all, they don’t think folks who look like me are real Americans. Neither does Trump.

But they’re not clowns. They’re highly trained, well-funded political operatives dedicated to winning in November and remaking America in their white nationalist image. They’ve spent the past two years putting together a plan to do just that setting the highest stakes imaginable for this election.

Chris Dorner proves that the phrase "reasonable people pushed to do unreasonable things" needs the addition of "won't have any coherent ideological backing for any of it and end up defending the structural power that got us here in the first place because they're really just disgruntled centre right moderates with guns"

I just wrote one giant political manifesto. It's nearly 1000 words. I'd like to share it, but I don't know if it'll fit into a tumblr post. I hope it can, because I think I made some good points. I formulated an ideology I'm quite proud of, something that really shows my personal view on things.

The Athrun Harem jokes are overkill and I believe that they have taken a disproportional life given how much time he spends in Destiny actively rejecting people. With that unnecessary disclaimer out of the way. I think that if Athrun visited Asticassia, beat Guel's punk ass and became Miorine's groom by complete accident. It would be absolutely gutbustingly hilarious.

#gundam #athrun zala #miorine rembran #witch from mercury #gundam seed #ok but hear me out #this is not a ship manifesto #it's a cahootery one #miorine and athrun would Get one another #athrun is not a saint he Would start answering Miorine's snark and frustration in kind #and it'd be off to the races #athrun is already a political marriage expert #they would be winning

The fact that we finally got to the Hermes society hideout and found out what they do and it's not planning to blow up British shipyards is crazy. Like I think rf kuang handles the nuances well bc Anthony is not outright denying the necessity of violent anti colonial resistance (just that they don't have enough ppl and power) and he literally says that he doesn't believe that he can simply make white ppl care about injustices unless u can say it in a way that shows this injustice to a "lesser person" affects them too, but I am with griffin on occupying the babel tower. It's actually not a crazy idea

#i imagine that whats going to happen next is that anthonys plan will not work and then theyll have to do something crazy #this is kinda predictable but i also know whos going to die and im already upset he is #i like the conversation between robin and Anthony though its going beneath the surface just a little bit #at the same time it could go further but this is not a political manifesto #this is me trying to keep sane by posting mundane things sorry

y know, now talking outside the USA & about the world in general, it's so funny how conservatives can actually organize together and set a plan in motion years in the making just to fulfill their agendas. while the left sits around idling fighting between themselves over stupid minuscule ideological differences and worrying about not upsetting the power in charge & in doing so accomplish jack shit while letting the conservatives enact their draconic plans

and by funny i mean the biggest tragedy in post-Soviet history

#it's like y'all didn't understand what workers of the world unite even meant #i mean i know u guys didn't read the manifesto but cmon man #u can't do a revolution from your pc armchair let's be real #the biggest failure of every single leftist party in the world is how they all let the liberals radicalize the youth into conservatism #like woah thanks for doing nothing to stop that. now we gotta deal with incel rethoric for the next 20 years while losing every single right #and it's disgusting that the only solution (since ppl are so adverse to do actual political work in their commune) is waiting until society #actually collapses and whomever are left are forced to react #anyways en resumen: andá a militar bobo #no queda otra que prender fuego el congreso
