So I’m kinda interested in how modern talking points on the right evolved from old fascist believes and from slaving owners ideas, as those are their main basis. Well, I was reading this thing about how the German Nazis would make propaganda about how Jewish people were putting empathy into politics and that was a terrible thing because it stopped the “natural order” and other gross stuff like that. This idea was later spread by the John Birch society, replacing the word Jew with communist.
Anyways, next time Ben Shapiro says facts don’t care about your feelings, know he is repeating an edited version of Nazi propaganda.

I haven’t really seen anyone talk about this yet so there’s a possibility I could be the only one but I hate Chevreuse and how they wrote her
Even if I ignore the fact that she’s a cop and most cop-like characters piss me off anyways, within the context of the region she’s apart of, she’s just plain boring. As it stands we already have a good handful of characters in the game, a lot of them from Fontaine already, with the exact same motivations and high held personal morals; the law is there for a reason, if people enact revenge and take what they think is just and right All The Time, then there would be chaos and unfair violence everywhere. And from a real life ethical lens it WOULD be really chaotic if anyone, anywhere at anytime could take their views of justice into their own hands.
but that’s the thing!! kind of like how it is In the real world, Fontaine is not a wholly just and fair nation (e.g. the Entirety of the Fortress of Meropide, the trafficking and various other crimes that constantly happen within the nobility of Fontaine and the fact that it has yet to be thoroughly investigated/solved and continues to happen, the extreme economic and social juxtaposition between the court of Fontaine and its underground Fleuve Cendre area and Poisson) And it really sucks that the game fails to admit that or acknowledge it because then you have characters who they Want you to believe are doing the right thing and fighting for the right causes, but it winds up feeling meaningless when what they’re fighting for is the law of Fontaine.
Chevreuse would’ve been an Infinitely more interesting and compelling character if her passion for justice wasn’t rooted in upholding the law and order of the nation, but rather what justice means for individuals. How the injustice and discrimination happening in that nation breeds people’s want for revenge and justice outside of the law.
And yeah I get that they wanted another character who fights against evil and is unwavering in her beliefs of what’s right in the very conventional and legal way, but I find it really funny that Chevreuse herself says what makes the argument for her character being boring In the same event quest; when asked about possibly changing the ending and meaning of the Two Musketeers, she says she wants to keep the ending the way that it is because fiction exists in a realm separate from that of reality, where things like the morals of what’s just and unjust can be explored. and like!! that’s it’s!!! I’m literally sitting here playing a Fictional game that has the opportunity to showcase just how fascinating it can be to talk about those kind of things in a fantasy setting where your main player character has literally Killed mostly innocent human people before because they betrayed someone they cared about deeply. but whatever. WHATEVER!!!

That’s a lot of leftists I blocked this week.
Not in the mood to listen to bullshit misinformation when the GOP want to implement Project 2025 nor has there been any money sent to Israel since the House is controlled by the GOP and they’re not going to do shit but fight amongst each other and Speaker Johnson wants a white evangelical America.
So this crap about hating President Biden and VP Harris, yt and nonblack leftist idiots protesting Hakeem Jefferies with racist watermelon signs and going extra hard towards Black Politicians is just things I will not even entertain.
The GOP are working hard to fuck over anyone who’s not yt so these stupid DSA protests are nothing but chaos agents who are really helping out the GOP since they know damn well they’d never protest any Republican politicians. They just go extra hard towards Black Politicians and Black People who vote Democrat which is all I need to know about leftism.
Leftists and celebs who are saying not to vote for Biden are people who are financially fine and they just don’t care about anyone but themselves. They also don’t give a fuck about all the gerrymandering in southern states so I mean…
leftists=bullshitters just like the GOP

the origins royals are so funny because you have:
exiled princess of the end who refuses to lower themselves to the level of commoners despite now temporarily being considered one
prince of the end desperately trying to assert his wealth and importance to people who literally do not give two shits about status
cringe fail starborne prince whose efforts in connecting with people and proving how “down to earth” he is just further highlight how he is Not Normal
not actually a princess but hey she has memory loss so TECHNICALLY there’s no way to prove she wasn’t one

so beheaded and torched babies are funny to you. ok weird
literally not my point at all, are you misunderstanding me on purpose? What’s absurd to me is that people think celebrities’ opinions on a literal war matter. I don’t give a flying fuck about what Kim Kardashian or a random author on Twitter thinks, it should in no way be the focus of anyone’s attention, for the very reason that you’re mentioning, the atrocious violence so many people are facing right now. Richard Siken’s Twitter account is a banality compared to what you summed up with “beheaded and torched babies”, it’s so absurd to me that it’s what people focus on?? And they're MAD at HIM???? There's better people to be fucking mad at in the face of a war this violent than a guy who writes about being a twink in the nineties for a living

While we’re on the subject: if you live in Texas you have EIGHT DAYS (October 11th) left to register to vote, and you cannot register online. You either have to register by mail or in person at a local election office. You can vote by absentee ballot, but the state has to receive your request by October 28th, and then your ballot before 7pm on November 8th.
Votesaveamerica.com is an excellent resource for all things voting. If every eligible yong person votes we CAN get Beto into office and flip Texas blue. 💙🌊

In light of the missing submersible full of billionaires, the only good billionaire is a dead billionaire and if I wanna laugh at their hubris in thinking their money would protect them I will. And if your outraged by that, look at all the other disasters going on right now i.e the power outages in Oklahoma and the capsized boat of refugees in Greece, and tell me that you feel that same amount of outrage for the common people who are actively losing their lives with no media coverage. Be fucking for real
