Reid, do you have any advice for anti-fascist action in uni?

For context, I live in a fascist state. Any kind of dissent is met with imprisonment in my educational institute. Not to mention permanent future blacklisting, here AND abroad (since this institute has the power to do that). Academics is what I do best - it's my career choice for the future - but I can't ignore my fellow students' oppression. Doing that makes me feel like my academic pursuits are hollow.

I realise this is a huge question, I don't expect you to be my therapist! I just...wondered if you might have similar experience, I guess, and anything you'd like to share as designated Internet Brother. Much love.

You're right, dirtling—this is indeed a huge question. Although the United States is inching further towards fascism than I'd like, I do need to feel the need to say that I have never faced the dangers you are currently dealing with. I don't presume to know your situation, and I'm not going to dictate morals to you.

First and foremost: keep yourself safe. This is the single most important thing I will say. You cannot help anyone if you have been thrown in prison or disappeared.

I think we often fall into the trap of imagining anti-fascism as grandiose acts, standing up and spitting in the face of the regime, making a statement. That's certainly one way to do it. I salute the people who are willing to take those risks.

But anti-fascism can also take the form of small, clandestine acts—I think this ask was one of them. By living your life with your eyes open, you're already subverting the structures of power that are in place to paralyze you. Keep doing that. Take the small opportunities when they present themselves. Any difference has a ripple effect.

So maybe your dissent isn't public. Maybe it looks like quietly, privately, helping someone who is being persecuted, even if it's just in some small way. Maybe it's that someday, when you are a professor with students of your own, you subtly give them the tools they need to question the status quo. Maybe it's reading everything you can get your hands on so you're armed with the right knowledge.

I'm not going to tell you that you need to leave your homeland, denounce its regime and its politics and make a big statement. Not everyone has that option. I'm also not going to tell you that you need to make waves within your country. Not everyone wants that option—and that's okay.

Do your best to thrive. Every moment that you are alive and critical is a victory. Spread the message when you can, where you can, if you can. Love your family, your country, and your culture. Believe in a better future. Most importantly, don't give up.

-Reid

Can't remember which Series this was, but it was around when Norman Lamont resigned so either 13 or 14. It was part of a series of sketches that happened in every episode of it's series where Major would play the piano as Norman faced some horrific demise.

#Spitting image #british tv #satire #puppets #john major #norman lamont #the sun will come out tomorrow #Norman's vocals are almost haunting #John looks so goofy in those glasses #HIS LEGS ARE SHAKING AS HE'S BEING CRUSHED #I have no idea how they filmed this #I wish I did #I think they just killed one of the puppeteers

Welcome to Horrorwood has worked it’s way to being my fave of Ice Nine Kills’ albums. It’s just got so many bangers and that line in Hip to be scared that’s parodying the famous scene is just toooo goooood.

Maybe an unpopular opinion (I don't know what is and isn't popular, though), but I didn't love the Bob's Burgers Movie. I love the show a lot (I've seen a lot of episodes on TV 5 times over), but I didn't like the movie as much as I could. I last tried to watch it some year or two ago with my dad. Because of that, my memories of it aren't too good. But can I still try and explain why I didn't like it?

I think I didn't like it because it felt like it dragged sometimes. Mind you, we were watching it online and our internet crashed halfway through (so I know I have no place to talk), but it did feel like it dragged sometimes. It also didn't have enough of the supporting cast for me. Also, to reuse a point I've heard elsewhere: The episode slightly reuses the plot of the Season 4 two part finale. Only difference is that I like that two parter, whereas I don't like the movie.

I have another point to make, but I feel my third point makes sense as a separate post. So I'll be making that later. For now, I'll just apologise for being so negative. Please don't judge me too harshly.
