Learned this with Xians and then Islam, and it’s a universally transferrable skill.

It only works on those who are more in need of the approval of others by saying the acceptable thing, than saying what’s true.

So we have this uneasy conflict within the GOP. In one wing, represented currently by Ron Desantis with his moral and social issues/cultural war ideologues in Florida, and the primarily pro- corporate/ big -business free- market wing of the GOP. For instance, some GOP -governed states would never dream of tackling / punishing a big business like Disney, or a similar huge employer for the state, ostensibly over cultural/social issues like wokeness, abortion, LGBTQ, etc.  And when it comes to abortion, big business can make money on the abortion pill, so they are not about to punish big business. 

It reminds me of some observations that philosophers have made concerning medieval issues and some of the players:

Torquemada of the religious Inquisition was an utterly sincere, inflexible, and a dangerously dogmatic, cruel ideologue, and hence, was inhuman. Many of the  Popes and Leaders on the other hand, were all too human: they were insincere, at times flexible, at times corrupt, but that means they could also be merciful and charitable. So, they were like all who can be bought.

If someone is only nice to you because you agree with them politically, don't be surprised when they eventually turn against you.

‘She Died for Russia‘: Hundreds Mourn Pro-Kremlin Ideologue’s Slain Daughter

‘She Died for Russia‘: Hundreds Mourn Pro-Kremlin Ideologue’s Slain Daughter

Hundreds of mourners gathered Tuesday for the Moscow funeral of Daria Dugina, the adult daughter of a prominent nationalist philosopher, after she was killed in a car bombing that Moscow blames on Kyiv. Her father Alexander Dugin — a vocal supporter of the Kremlin’s military campaign in Ukraine — is thought to have been the likely target of the Saturday attack that killed his 29-year-old…

back from a night out and I took my usual stickering route home to check on what got scratched off -- come to find someone else has wheatpasted a gender abolitionist feminist poster to a lamppost and tied some suffragette flag ribbons to a nearby fence. Knowing another local feminist has seen my stickers and known she's not alone makes me glad I continued doing this for as long as I have. :)

#consciousness raising has always been the number 1 goal #number two is letting gender ideologue extremists [as in those who threaten violence against dissenters] know #that 'terfs' live and walk among them and the possibility that they're interacting with one at any given time #not quite as easy to dehumanize your neighbours #and that their views are not necessarily ubiquitous

rape is just a thing that may happen during war. we're not saying it didn't happen. it may have occurred. rape is not uncommon in war. it's not a weapon of war, there's no proof it's a pattern of violence against women, it's just something that happens for some reason.

#rape tw #i swear i'm now done talking about this fucking article now that i've worked myself up and can't sleep #completely disingenuous dripping with smugness and written by three fucking males #and some of you gobbled this right up #which is the part i'm most angry abt even though i shouldn't be bc i know radblr is full of ideologues #and i know i'm guilty of buying into twitter threads without reading the article #but it should really really really not be hard not to dismiss rape claims #if your first thought is ''oh phew i was worried i would have to condemn my side's actions'' then you have also bought into a narrative #ironically just as this article claims #but i shouldn't be surprised bc i see blatant antisemitic rhetoric disguised as anti-zionism here on the reg #so why not handwave rape as well #i just hate dogma. i hate dogma that creates acceptable victims. #i'm not going to leap to the defense of radicalized + militarized males. idc who they are. #bc it's all of them

We do not merely study the past: we inherit it, and inheritance brings with it not only the rights of ownership, but the duties of trusteeship. Things fought for and died for should not be idly squandered. For they are the property of others, who are not yet born.

that grace keeps her deception up even after she and tommy have their union is both fascinating and frustrating because she doesn't really seem to dwell on it too much, but i'm not quite sure the intention really was to write her as being this ruthless either. she never really seems to contemplate these contradictions; it invites to think of her as very compartmentalized but the show really never goes there*either*

#and imho i think it's not a stretch to like. draw a line from this to sr deceiving arthur #not in the same way and not to the same result but like. it happens in the same episode; it's a parallel plot #this isn't anything against grace lol i just find her character so uniquely frustrating #she doesn't come across as an ideologue; her revenge quest is personal; yet she sets freddie up #despite knowing he doesn't have the guns AND despite being friendly with ada #this was a choice borne of conviction and imho it's the thing that isolates tommy from the family because they blame him for it #and it leads right into this; tommy goes with grace because his family hates him (according to himself) #tg is just. such weak part of the show even in s1 #this isn't to condemn her like. there's nothing to condemn she's such a nothingburger character the more you think of it

December 26, 1847: Jews. Write an article against this race that poisons everything by sticking its nose into everything without ever mixing with any other people. Demand its expulsion from France with the exception of those individuals married to French women. Abolish synagogues and not admit them to any employment. Demand its expulsion Finally, pursue the abolition of this religion. It’s not without cause that the Christians called them deicides. The Jew is the enemy of humankind. They must be sent back to Asia or be exterminated. H. Heine, A. Weill, and others are nothing but secret spies ; Rothschild, Crémieux, Marx, Fould, wicked, bilious, envious, bitter, etc. etc. beings who hate us. The Jew must disappear by steel or by fusion or by expulsion. Tolerate the elderly who no longer have children. Work to be done – What the peoples of the Middle Ages hated instinctively I hate upon reflection and irrevocably. The hatred of the Jew like the hatred of the English should be our first article of political faith. Moreover, the abolition of Judaism will come with the abolition of other religions. Begin by not allocating funds to the clergy and leaving this to religious offerings. – And then, a short while later, abolish the religion.

Translator’s note: Though some twentieth century writers have maintained that Proudhon was not an anti-Semite, we find in his notebooks proof of the contrary. In this selection from his notebooks Proudhon’s anti-Semitism goes far beyond that of Marx at approximately the same time, calling not for the end of what Jews represent, i.e., capitalism, but of the Jews as a people. Proudhon’s privately expressed thoughts were elaborated on in the same year as this entry by his follower Alphonse Toussenel in his “Les Juifs, Rois de l'Epoque,” The Jews, Kings of the Era. After reading the passage translated here it can come as no surprise that the founder of the royalist group Action Française, the Jew-hater Charles Maurras, drew inspiration from Proudhon.

imo rpf has never and will never be the problem the issue is parasocial relationships. has been since the dawn of celebrity

#there are rpf shippers who act insane and out of pocket but it’s always just a veneer atop delusional projection #i think truthing is which i would consider related to but somewhat separate from rpf where it gets messier #but some of the most unhinged ill behaved fans i’ve ever seen are deranged anti-rpf ideologues #who will have a meltdown if u suggest their fave is perhaps not as pure and holy as they perceive them to be #bandom has a lot of these ppl and another non-rpf related parasocial activity we do is choose someone new to be a scapegoat #for the bad behavior of the entire scene every few years. it used to be ryan for awhile then it was pete rn it’s brendon #the tides are already turning against frank and unless dirt comes out against someone else i assume he’ll be next
