whoever the fuck i saw saying "i can't stand english bitching because they're so complacent" and whoever else thinks we're not doing enough i'd like to invite you to DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH.
a law was recently passed that deemed any kind of protesting as disruptive and able to be punished by the police, alongside giving the police more power.
we all watched the police storm the PEACEFUL VIGIL for sarah everard - a woman raped and murdered by a police officer.
PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY BEING ARRESTED FOR OUTWARDLY EXPRESSING ANY SORT OF DISPLEASURE WITH THE MONARCHY.
A WOMAN WAS ARRESTED FOR HOLDING UP A SIGN. JUST HOLDING IT.
PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED FOR BOOING.
everything in britain has been put to a standstill. hospital appointments have been cancelled. funerals have been cancelled. we can't do anything about it.
many of us will be unable to pay our energy bills this winter. we will freeze. we will starve.
it has been demonstrated to us time and time and time again that protests simply make people talk about how we were protesting and never why. and now the police has increased power to punish us for any public opinion that they don't like.
we have been under tory rule for 12 years. 12 years of the same people - hey americans, can you imagine that?
we are tired, no, we are exhausted. we are struggling. we are scared. and it has been made clear to us that our government does not care.
so fucking forgive us if we're putting our own survival over the opinions of americans (and other non-brits but americans are the worst) online who expect us to learn everything about their politics and their country and don't put in an ounce of effort to learn about ours.

it is tempting to assume btw that harry is "the most mentally ill man in the world!!!!" or whatever, but he's probably the average level of mentally ill for people in his situation. he isn't this uniquely monstrous wreck who abuses more substances than anyone else ever has. in martinaise alone you can meet like 5 people who are doing even worse than harry. kim says several times that he's seen much worse than day one harry and i BELIEVE him. i think harry wasn't immediately fired from the police after the unsolveable case bc this stuff is relatively normal for cops to do in precinct 41. disco elysium isn't pointing at harry and going "gawk at this uniquely awful man for no reason!! isn't he horrible in a clownish way!!" they're making a point abt the effects of capitalism and imperialism on the disenfranchised poor

every time queer discourse surges on this site everyone is so quick to jump to “it was actually the evil lesbians who divided us” because y’all heard the term “political lesbian” and never bothered to figure out what that meant

literally in another universe snowbairdplinth could've been THE revolution. they wouldn't even really need any allies, lbr.
like, between coryo's cunning, sej's conscience, and lucy gray's charisma? the snow name, the plinth fortune, the baird d12 but neither district nor capitol pedigree?
coryo could've actually been like, panem's first 20-year-old president, who outlaws the hunger games and who the districts still listen to because he has sej and lucy gray on side. and yeah maybe coryo still kills a bunch of people but like whatever, no one really bats an eye -- who's gonna mourn gaul, anyways? no one in the districts, that's for sure. even if gaul didn't suck ass they'd be busy with cool covey music and awesome new legislation.
in a better universe i am 100% certain snowbairdplinth could've managed a fairly bloodless revolution, six decades early.

Dude, this is jury tampering and it is a felony.
You are admitting to a serious crime on twitter.

Yes, leave politics out of all witing, it will just make the work dated. This is why no one reads or adapts Dickens, Wells, or Orwell these days. By like that nice Professor Tolkien, who never inserted any politics into his fantasy series influenced by his traumatic experience in the First World War and hatred of industrialism.

They are hosting training sessions to teach right-wing judges how to bend the law in favor of the oligarchs and their Republican puppets.
“Billionaire-bankrolled judicial trips are nothing new on the right. In 2021 and 2022, an investigation by The Lever found just two conservative organizations, George Mason University and the Federalist Society, paid to send more than 100 federal judges on a total of 251 educational retreats.”

With the whole Trump and Musk fiascos going on it makes me wonder just how many highly powerful institutions in history were in fact run by man-children. It’s gotta be a lot more than we realize. I think historically it was just easier for this kind of thing to go unnoticed because for most of human history these people could not live-tweet their every stupid action to the masses

ok I’m convinced now that if you have never ever backed up your words with actual real life political activism you need to genuinely shut the fuck up about politics and voting. “stop saying you won’t vote for genocide joe clearly guys just want to tear the voting system down without doing any actual work” maybe that’s your reality but stop projecting your weird ass liberal politics on everyone else cause you just sound like a fed trying to get ppl to confess exactly what they’ve done irl

So many of you absolute numbskulls misuse and misinterpret sociological terms such as socialization and intersectionality, and it’s not even a little bit funny. Socialization is a lifelong process. It’s a dynamic process. Females receive “female” socialization by virtue of being female. An individual is either more receptive to it, or less receptive to it, or the input is more or less intense. The most masculine woman still “receives” female socialization. Socialization simply refers to the process be which an agent is exposed to and by which it receives social information such as norms and rules and mores. It’s basically the way people react to culture. I can’t stand all these feminist-ish “critical thinking” women using the term and not even having a basic sociological definition to work with. Same with “social construct”. Same with “intersectionality”. Yashar Mounk (sp?) had a very interesting conversation on the unspeakable podcast about how absolute idiots butchered the idea of “intersectionality” to an extent that Kimberle Crenshaw couldn’t even trace the prevailing use to what she’d originally written on the subject.
