There's like one or two people on my feed who will agree with me about like "You shouldn't have that much sympathy for any American armed forces member who signs up to fight in Iran" but they'll also go "SHOULDA LISTENED TO THESE TWO"
And it makes me feel legit fucking insane.
LOL fuck yeah
My deal with Firefly is that I never even had to get particularly complicated with my critiques! It was always real simple "Okay but like every other space opera has western motifs how are you selling this as different?"
And it's like....slightly more "yeehaw?"
Can't wait to liberate queer Iranians by uhhhhh........bombing them...
It's such a simple thing that annoys me! Like you essentially have to assume that the good will muscles from World War 2 haven't atrophied.
It's well before 2016! Like I'm talking "Post-War Europe"
Just even from a cold distance of realpolitik you can't keep going "Uhhh human rights" as an excuse! Mostly because the counter-argument is a real simple "You sure about that?"
This goes back to my usual deal about "You've only got so much ammo for this"
I'm a queer woman! You could ask me why I don't think this war is good or will help queer Iranian women! I think Saudi Arabia/any Gulf State is ethically worse! Why aren't we invading them?
BAD RHETORIC!
Also if you ever tell me a story about how on a date a lady decided to lecture you about America being an evil country and you rolled your eyes at this? Please understand that I think you are a loser and being lonely is what you deserve.
Listening to the latest Chapo Trap House and they are objectively correct that you can and should talk over every single Cuban-American, Venezuelan-American, and Iranian-American who's pro any of this.
I do not care about you, like you, and I'm amused by any discomforts inflicted on you.
This rocks so much
He was an underrated Everyone is 12 Patient Zero. "I want to own 10 cars and I think girls are gross." Of course you do, you're 12.
I find it offensive that you would suggest extremely normal Iberian behavior is insane.
In fact I'm so mad about this I'm going to threaten you and then forget what I said because I got drunk at noon again and this entire side of pork I ate is making me sleepy.
Book cover for Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The cover depicts Carmilla leaning her head against Laura's while she embraces her, Laura doesn't shy away from Carmillas touch but seems shy to reciprocate. They're framed by a red pointed arch, a devil and an angel and some baroque ornaments.
A crop.
Carmilla 🩸🖤
"They should have an expensive banana split dessert named after The Big Bopper...."
China so long as you support a stable "Retro Diner Restaurants with tiny little jukeboxes that play old timey rock and roll in every metropolitan area" initiative I will be your strongest and most fanatical soldier.
Idk I saw this the other day and it’s bizarre to see these Nazis nerds who drape themselves in history and historical events they themselves don’t seem to know the very famous outcomes of
Trying to get people to review bomb an acclaimed filmmaker because you have a grudge over a movie going "I dunno maybe you should feel bad" is absolutely fucking embarrassing and I think you should pay attention when I tell you that.
LOL you need to go offline for a while friendo

Absolutely a guy in one of the Cult of Transcendence's front organizations.
LOL yes! I don't fucking care about this! It's like watching Hard Boiled and going "Actually you shouldn't slide down a staircase with two pistols that's not tactically sound"
Personally I think it's funny that a bunch of young men signed up to kill foreigners for material gain only to find out their superior officers were religious nutjobs reaching spiritual ecstasy at the idea of throwing their lives away
I'm not going to bother about this from the moral angle(the WWE is bad obviously but considering I watch various MMA events I can't cast stones there) I just find myself nodding off to this.
At least they'd make out in the Attitude era...
LOL yes I'm sorry this shit's fucking lame
I've been called a doomer by a lot of people! Which is insane to me! I've struggled with life long depression and absolutely try to stay positive and pleasant.
But unfortunately I also go "Look left wing politics is not fun and joy it's a struggle and you have to accept that" which isn't pleasant.
Look post-election one of the things I'd see a lot online is super-emotional posts from Kamala supporters going "I will never give up the fight...I will not submit to grief" and it doesn't sound inspirational or affirmative it just sounds like "I refuse to feel sad ever"
PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--" PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"
the mild manners are job security, baby

Like buddy the 18-year old signing up KNOWS America's been in a constant state of war literally their entire fucking life.
At some point you have to go "Okay your choice.."
I also just want to stress the practical fact of " There's only so long you can get water from this well while you operate an all-volunteer force"
You know I just don't like America's vibes right now...
