#end facism

[gramforgram]

hi I'm stoned and pissed about consumerist culture but I don't have the words other than telling a story requires limiting your audience

and—that's a good thing? I don't know when social exclusionism in art became the moral failing of the creator or the fan but. it's not

not everything is made to your tastes. not everything caters to your tastes. this is as it should be. it objectively says nothing about your moral character, your ethical beliefs, or anything driven by Puritannical witchhunts

you are not a bad person for dismissing art deemed "morally good." you are not a good person for consuming art deemed "morally good." the inverse of these are also true

yes, even the bad faith strawmans that may have popped into your head right now

if you disagree, check yourself, because you may be engaging in reactionary rhetoric and not engaging with art critically (or at all)

ok. sometimes I just want to listen to people talk abt star wars but the youtube results are all men and I refuse to do that to myself. found myself on a reddit thread of good sw youtube accounts/podcasts and it's like....for one dollar name a woman:/

#CRINGE or whatever #but like i am thinking abt themes of fate and agency and the way they change across series and how certacertain characters exist outside #the narrative etc and i just wanna talk abt rebels and how its such a fantastic follow up to tcw/the prequels in terms of its core cast and #the fact that their only commonality is that they chose to be a part of the rebellion as opposed to the characters of tcw that are stuck in #this perpetual loop of following orders and uplifting those in power & feeling as though everything in their lives are destined meanwhile #there were so many opportunities to stop the end destiny (if u will) of the prequels if only they werent so blind etc but at the same time #you have characters like maul and ahsoka who exist outside of these power structures (one by choice and the other not) and when it comes #time to change anakins fate together ahsoka cant do it bc shes refuses to see the truth #and then this is directly paralleled at the end of rebels s2 where it takes kanan being literally blinded for him to see ezras pull to the #dark side bc until then kanan (the last remaining jedi) still clings to the beliefs and structures that raised him. he cant see/understand #ezra bc he refuses to view the world outside of the lens of his jedi training he has to be blinded to see the world around him in a new way #ofc this is all happening while ahsoka and anakin meet again and we see what could have happened had kanan failed to change #idk something something the illusion of choice under capatalism & 2 party systems leading to facism #something something rebellion/change comes from the ability to question authority and find individual purpose #noooo idea where im going with this shit at the end i promise i understand facism #see this is why i need to listen to other people talk abt it i am just spewing nonsense in my tumblr tags!!!!

i am Obsessed with the scene where the captain dies in pan’s labyrinth. not only does he get immediately silenced out of making some grand last speech to make himself feel noble, he also spends his last moments knowing that his son, who he wanted to carry on his fascist ideology, won’t even know his name. as he stripped the personhood from countless innocents, so too is his personhood stripped from him and his memory (or lack thereof).

fascists don’t get last requests. they get a bullet to the head.

#like it’s just so incredibly perfect on a narrative and a meta commentary level #it’s a satisfactory end to the character’s arc but it’s also a clear and pointed commentary on how fascism should be dealt with #you Do Not let them talk. you Do Not let them perpetuate their ideals to the younger generation. #you cut them off and shut them the fuck up. permanently if possible #and don’t misread me i’m not saying war/violence is sexy or cool when it’s happening to the right people #it’s a horrible awful thing no matter who’s doing it #and it always has a price that’s not worth paying #but that’s the entire reason why facism as a political outlook cannot be tolerated in the first place

[ageofzero]

do you ever think about a specific lost/unfinished media, and how it's got so much care/attention/detail in it, but you'll NEVER KNOW how it was going to resolve its story??

bro Mighty Space Miners is really good

#Mighty Space Miners #anime #OVA #Oira Uchuu no Tankoufu #it's on the lost media wiki so I'm going to count it as lost by technicality #no one knows if they made more material besides the two episodes of a planned six? that exist #ep 4 was apparently titled Facism if that tells you anything about the stakes in this OVA #(it should but it also doesn't bc the stakes never leave the 100s range halfway through the first episode) #like holy shit now that I'm an adult I can actually comprehend the stakes #it's one of those OVAs I grew up with bc of my dad but that no one else in my friend group had heard of #but I was younger than the protagonist when I first watched it (he's 12) #so I missed the details like... the mining operation is owned by a corporation #the corporation installed a nuclear bomb in the middle of the mining operation as a failsafe for ??? reasons #the mining base is in a deteriorating orbit that's headed directly for earth's atmosphere #earth may possibly have decided fuck them and threw a warhead at them at the start of the OVA #and so on. these are things I can appreciate about the narrative and say the stakes just keep escalating #ep 2 ends with a 'to be continued' and I FUCKING WISH IT DID #but this came out in 1994 and it's never gotten completed rip #anyway yeah I watched it twice this month I have access to the video file I cannot be stopped

The vast majority of the left has repidly devolved into accelerationists, authoritarians, and sccelrationist authoritarians. Ideologies we used to all rightfully know are actually terrible praxis.

And the worst part is basically no one seems to care.

#my post: shadow #like holy shit #tankies are like half the left on this website suddenly #half of the rest are willing to platform and reblog from them because they post the right feeling things about one or two specific issues #or especially God forbid anyone from another country points #antisemitism has exploded #pro-facist and colonial powers worship had exploded as long as those powers didnt like the “west” #people literally willing to let the us and similar states devolve into right wing facism and leaders who have openly called for genocide so #to “teach” the liberals a lesson #or “jumo start the revolution” #like it's nuts #you all dont even understand actually leftist theory or beliefs #youve all immediately abandonded restorative and rehabilitative justice when you can get blood instead #youve abandoned any real sense of landback unless its able to be weaponized by white authrotatian commies #youve abanonded the global south except when their pawns for you #huge ranges if yall are literally compnaining about democracy being unethical #like wtf is wrong with you people #like you usamericans have a guy whos got a year plan to enact a nazis facist overtake of the country #and has openly discussed the like 6 different minorities he plans to start genociding day fucking one #and half of you are like “well the other guy isnt aggressive enough about ending shit he diesnt have power over #and so imma geasture in the nazis rather then spend 5 minutes voting to keep him out“ #and then throw a bitch fot when anyone from your own backass country #points it out #you bitch about imperilism and America centrism and cultural imperialism #and that you demand and force activists and discussion in the rest of the world to use your specific qnd often specific to your issues view #of race #of ethnicity #culture and imperlism and indigenous and religion and everything else #even when it doesnt make sense #even when its actively harmful

[intersectionalpraxis]

i don't know who the fuck this zionist is, and yes i do have better things to do with my time, but i will say this-

white supremacists and fascists will COME for ALL of us -the LGBTQIA+ community is not fucking free from their terrorism (i can't believe some of these privileged white gay men think otherwise, but their whiteness, again, is something they believe will shield them from violence -and in many cases it does, but in terms of being queer and trans -the fascists and white supremacists will throw you under the bus in a car they're personally driving so stfu).

also while we are here, white gay men hold some of the WORSE misogyny (comparable to white cishet men) and that needs to be called out continuously. i also don't know what he was trying to do here, but it seems very rick mercer-esque and in this way -since clearly he meant it to be 'witty and direct' when he's just a bigot. is just fucking awful.

let's also not talk about the IOF soldiers who revealed (and joked about) shooting and killing 2 Arab men while they were engaging in an intimate act. the propaganda video the IOF re-posted that mocked queer and trans people. also the fact that he completely disregards the queer and trans people in Palestine and globally. whoever this guy is -he seriously needs to shut the hell up alongside Amy and Noah what's their names.

Listen, I love Steve. But I do not want to see him back in the MCU.

His story is done, unless he's being brought back in the present, and unless Sam is still in the spotlight. I do not want him back.

I don't want Steve in the fucking 50s. I don't want Steve to be complicit with HYDRA. Fuck that.

Steve's story is done. He had a good run in the MCU. I think he had a full story, and even if I didn't agree with his ending, I think he still had a really engaging and interesting story in full.

Please, please, don't make a Hydra-Cap, don't make a 50's Stay at Home Dad sitcom with Peggy. Dear god.

#i have alot to stay abt this but im not in the mood #let steves story be done. im serious #steve rogers #steve rogers my beloved #let sam be in the limelight ffs #the steve rogers era is over! and thats okay! it was good while it lasted! all good things come to an end!! #anti steggy #anti peggy carter #cw nazism #cw facism #anti hydracap #mcu critical #mcu #captain america trilogy #cap trilogy

[woodsfae]

Fucking Battinson, eh.

If you’re poor, disenfranchised, and angry, you are the problem. If you’re trying to change the system, your ideas are worse, more violent, and more harmful than the facist system. White, rich men manhandling women and being dicks are the real way to fight corruption.

Progressive candidates are too naive to realize their policy plans don’t work, and protestors will prevent them from getting to it anyway.

Complete copaganda. Make the villains sympathetic and reasonable and leftist. But then! Mass murder. That way no one can like them and all their points are disproven.

As usual, Catwoman is the best, most sympathetic character. Great fearmongering for the masked crowd of activists at the end.

In conclusion, this is my least favorite Batman movie I’ve seen. I was begging it to be done already for the entire last hour.

#Batman is usually pretty facist but this movie took it up a notch #facism #facist propaganda. #acab #fuck the police #too many things to list but rest assured I hated a lot more things about this #god as I write it continues to suck #lAwLeSsNeSs WiLl Be RaMpAnT #well maybe people will pull together and support each other through the disaster #sucked every moment till the credits #actually the abused orphan who was angry at the system was wrong to be mad #rooting for the riddler tbh #flooding the city was the stupidest plot point considering how they wrote him the rest of the movie #ugh end rant #woodsfae

Sitting down to work on UriThan fanfiction, with so much to look forward to in Dawntrail, and my brain's just...

Too much bad in the world, even when I want to focus on my blorbos to make the happy brain chemicals.

Would you rather have a president that enables a genocide? Or would you rather have a president that vilifies immigrants, promotes facism, dismantles the rights of women and minorities, emboldens white nationalists, worsens the wage gap, defunds vital services, AND enables a genocide?

It's an unfair and unreasonable question to ask. I know. Unfortunately those are our choices for president. It sucks, but it's a 2 party system. And until any change is made where a 3rd party vote is no longer equivalent to not voting at all, it's better to just vote blue for the presidential election. Not because Democrats are the "lesser evil", but because NOT having a Republican president will prevent further suffering of Americans and will lessen the risks of minorities' rights being threatened and revoked.

The president chooses the members of the supreme court who hold lifelong positions and whose legal decisions have decades-long ramifications. Trump picked 3 of the 11 current members who currently hold a Republican majority. It was that supreme court that overturned Roe V Wade and that decision is harming thousands of people today in multiple states.

Biden already nominated one SCOTUS, and in his next term he could appoint 1-2 more Democratic members who would work to protect rather than erode American rights.

The Trump administration was lethal for thousands of Americans for a multitude of reasons, including his failure to properly respond to and then proceeded to politicize the COVID-19 pandemic.

As awful as it sounds, as hard as it is to believe in the moment, ESPECIALLY with the atrocities Biden is perpetuating in Palestine right now, don't believe for a moment that this genocide would be even slightly less cruel under Trump. The difference is Trump's cruelties would extend to Americans as well— especially immigrants.

The point I'm making is the only ethical choice for this election is to vote for Biden, but at the same time that vote is not the same as condoning his actions. Don't let voting be the end all for political action, and I hope you understand why this choice is necessary in an unfair voting system. Please participate in your local elections, Call your representatives. Continue demanding a permanent ceasefire and an end of Israel's occupation over Palestine. And please keep helping Palestinians.

I think it's quite wild to say people domestically haven't been dying under Biden. Hundreds of thousands disabled people have died during the Biden presidency due to covid. I myself only got covid because people around my family stopped masking. Even some of my family members stopped masking because of the CDC thing. There have been countless other things that I'm too tired to list as well that directly contributed to the death of people.

I'm sorry I don't know why you sent this I'm not going to change my mind. I'm not voting for the man that killed people I know and lied to our faces about it.

[the-official-legacies-blog]

I know I said I would only be talking about Palestine this week, but I need to talk about this as well.

This is somewhat political and also a personal rant.

I stated on @crystalsandbubbletea (My main for those who are unaware) that I am a minor with ADHD, Autism, and possible anxiety who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community and is also Indigenous American (Ponca Tribe). Why am I mentioning this?

Because of the 'Kids Online Safety Act', AKA 'KOSA'.

If this bill gets passed, I will be unable to post Legacies or gain access to the things that inspire me to work on Legacies. I created Legacies because I wanted people like me to have a series to relate to, I also created Legacies to debunk multiple harmful stereotypes.

Here comes the personal rant part:

When I realized I was part of the LGBTQIA+ community (I was approximately nine years old at the time), I tried so hard to find pieces of media I could relate to, specifically media with queer neurodivergent non-white people. Unfortunately I didn't find that much media that covered those categories.

Fast forward to some time later (Specifically when I was fourteen), I ended up deciding that I can make a series that people like me can relate to. After multiple rough drafts in my brain, and multiple scrapped storylines, I came up with Legacies, a series that starts off as an alternative history of the world and then eventually becomes a piece of fanfiction. I eventually decided the first protagonist would be a nonbinary polyamorous lesbian living in the Ottoman Empire, and after some more time, I decided their name would be 'Alex Adil Emre Yukime'. I then started planning the second protagonist, this protagonist would be Hungarian-Palestinian that's nonbinary, polyamorous, trixic, demisexual and demiromantic (Note: All the arcs Berat is in takes place in the 2500's).

I was ultimately satisfied when I finalized the storyline, and was happy.

(Rant ends here)

Unfortunately that happiness wouldn't last long when I learned about KOSA. If KOSA gets passed, Legacies will be unable to reach it's targeted demographics, and that will mean all my hopes and dreams were for nothing.

I won't be the only one affected, many more people will also be affected, specifically LGBTQIA+ youth. We will be unable to find anything LGBTQIA+ related because it will be flagged as "Not safe for minors". Trans people are already facing censorship (Looking at you, Tumblr staff) and this bill will make it worse.

So please, call and email your representatives, and tell them to not let KOSA pass. This bill is censorship and censorship is a form of facism.

[eroguron0nsense]

Perhaps my brain isn't braining or I'm assigning undue significance to this but I kinda feel like One Piece seemed to shift more toward exploring what real familial love means or looks like after the timeskip? We get Ace's death, the postwar arc, and Luffy coming to the conclusion that despite having lost both of his brothers, he's still got the Straw Hats and he can move forward with his ragtag crew of siblings, Team Mom and Dad, and an eccentric skeleton Uncle, and then right after that, we get several arcs defined overwhelmingly by either the destruction or salvation of various families.

One of the main inciting incidents–if not the inciting incident–of all the political intrigue inherent to the Fishman Island arc is the assassination of Otohime and its ramifications for Shirahoshi and the entire Ryugu Kingdom (not to mention Luffy trying really fucking hard to imitate Ace and be a big brother to Shirahoshi and Surume as a means of processing his own loss).

Dressrossa's where we first see a true perversion of all the lovely found family tropes that have long been established in One Piece (villains have destroyed families but few if any are depicted as having one in the same way Luffy does; pre-time skip villains are more likely to be loners or self-interested tyrants and their followers aren't really referred to as "family"), giving us self fashioned patriarch in Doffy who completed the destruction of his bio family and spent the rest of his life building a grotesque, failed imitation of it through manipulating and indoctrinating a group of followers he doesn't truly care for, only to be brought down by a combination of his brother's final actions, the little boy Cora saved and loved, the bonds of the Riku family he brutalized, the brothers of the guy whose devil fruit he acquired and tried to entrap his enemies with, and an actual Found Family Crew who genuinely love each other and are willing to sacrifice for each other in a way Doffy cannot possibly understand.

The entirety of WCI involves almost every conceivable permutation of multiple families plotting against, exploiting, abusing, and defiantly loving each other, from Judge discarding any hope he ever had of having an actual family that could love him by literally stripping away their ability to do so in the name of facism/conquest, to Chiffon betraying her abusive mom for her loving husband and in-laws, to Linlin being failed by every parental figure in her life and constructing the most bizarre, fundamentally horrifying political/military structure out of her army of bio children.

Wano's main villain is also an abusive father and tyrannical crew leader, and that does, in fact, contribute to his eventual downfall, but more to the point, the arc opens and closes with the initial destruction and eventual restoration of the Kozuki family in Momo, Hiyori, and Sukiyaki, Luffy's kinship with Momo and Tama, circling back to reminders of Ace yet again (for the third arc so far) and Hiyori literally closing out the arc mirroring her father's catchphrase/dying words (and to a lesser extent, plot fuelled by the destruction of the Kurozumi clan). By the time we end what I personally consider to be Part 2 of One Piece, Luffy's family has picked up another uncle, he's been confronted repeatedly with the spectre of his brother and come out stronger for it (also filling the big brother role for multiple characters), he's reunited with Sabo, and has confronted and defeated multiple villains who act as the antithesis to everything One Piece has told us so far about the joy and love and unity that the Straw Hats and their friends and true families exemplify. And by the time he tells everyone his real dream and shares what he'd previously only told Ace, Sabo, and Shanks, it feels like we've finally gotten some closure for Marineford
