i also think 'agency' gets totally misused when people talk about the feminist retelling tm. because you can actually have a feminist story in which the lead women do not have a lot of agency because it has been removed from them. like if someone was for example writing about a woman in ancient greece or the enslavement of the women of troy. it is in fact feminist to talk about historical (sexual) violence and oppression against women

I’m an angry person, but how can I not be? And why are you not more angry? Does injustice not make you shake?
What did Che say about injustice?
If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.

The Rock watching Oppenheimer in IMAX and immediately going "Imagine if my terrible Santa movie was screened here, it'd change the game" is, admittedly, a little bit endearing
My initial reaction was "That guy does not seem like he would appreciate watching Oppenheimer in IMAX" but then I realized that was unfair of me. I'd rather believe he has a beautiful soul yearning to make art but he just has no taste in selecting scripts
YES. EXACTLY
I'm also choosing to believe this. I imagine him imagining a beautiful, cinematic world
“You want to be brothers-in-arms, to have him to yourself… to be shipwrecked together, (to) perform valiant deeds to earn his admiration, to save him from certain death, to die for him - to die in his arms, like a Spartan, kissed once on the lips… or just run his errands in the meanwhile. You want him to know what cannot be spoken, and to make the perfect reply, in the same language.”
— Tom Stoppard, The Invention of Love
trotskyist slenderman has sent us some silly little newspapers, we shall neither collect them nor read them
you cant make this up
me when im a big believer in liberal democracy: this "political campaigning" sstuff is copletely pointless. why does anyone have to do it. Why dont the voeters simply know who the right candidate is in their hearts
i also just cant emphasize enough that people DID need ads to know that cigarettes are poison they are calleds ""public health cmapaigns"" and governments have psent millions of dollars on them around the world for decades and decades!! im turning into the joker
If you ever need proof that South Korea is a neocolony of the USA and the ruling class of South Korea does the USA's bidding, in the list of banned books that the Lee Myung-bak admin rolled out in 2008, 50% of the books banned were because of anti-government sentiment, which included anti-americanism.
In the 2011 updated list, they added even more anti-american books. You might notice that this was during the waning years of George W.'s presidency and Obama's first term. That's because Hell Joseon is real and it's created by a bipartisan effort by the USA to maintain its oppressive status.
Like, we all know and love posting this grandma whenever election cycle rolls around or a president fucks up.
What I don't see is what she's said immediately afterwards getting posted.
Her hatred of the USA comes directly from how the USA and South Korea's relationship is set up to exploit Koreans for the benefit of the USA.
For instance, the actual interview is about the USA expanding its missile defense to Koreans. About which the lady had this to say:
It is true the US bases house men and women that brutalize Korean people. This is also true in Japan, and Kamala Harris successfully petitioned to free a occupying force's ghoul that ran over 2 Japanese civilians, a feat that the Democrat Surrogate Media cheered on as a victory. What is also true is that every kind of pollution imaginable also comes with the bases, and it makes the surrounding area literally unlivable for South Koreans (and the Japanese), too.
Also, do not get it twisted. South Koreans would not need to protect themselves from the DPRK if the puppet regime did not exist to provoke the North. Like, the grandma, who'd lived through the Korean War, said this about the KPA:
Like, the only forces who are actually threatening everyday South Korean people are the USA and the ROK, and the policy that exists due to the relationship between the two of them. It is not China or North Korea or Japan. We need the USA out of Korea and Japan if we're to have lasting peace in East Asia.
