do any of you ever think about how the myth of the nazi argentina was installed by the us state department because perón was starting a process of industrialization and strengthening of a national identity as part of the third world and this would put the united states industry control and access to cheap raw materials? and this is very open information? because i do, i think about it all the time

the other thing about Internet dogpiling is that it is just not possible to think clearly during the acute stages. it’s so easy to criticize people for responding defensively or tactlessly to mass criticism but I cannot overstate the degree to which your brain becomes a rat in a trap. I think we do have to temporarily recalibrate our expectations in these circumstances and accept that they do not necessarily represent how that person responds to criticism. the skills for self-regulating and reacting to normal interpersonal criticism are not the same skills needed to respond to viral callouts.

as other people have pointed out:

for most of human history, if a bunch of people are really mad at you specifically all at once, it means you’re about to die badly. obviously that’s not the case with internet controversy (…usually) but our nervous systems don’t know that. I just think that’s a variable we have to consider inherent to the circumstances rather than an aberration.

i talked about this tangentially before but im still endlessly fascinated by the theme of adulthood vs childhood in jumanji.

jumanji does that fantastic thing that fantasy adventure movies and childrens stories do where kids and adults are essentially equals amongst the main characters. it never feels like alan and sarah are treating peter and judy like kids, they are all trapped together in the same game and they are all working together. if anything is alan and sarah the ones who are more childish than peter and judy. at one point peter taunts alan with being scared and alan immediatly falls into the trap.

and it makes sense, the movie makes a clear point that both alan and sarah are severely stunted due to trauma, we see them bicker like children, throw tantrums and be awkward around other adults. particularly alan, robin always specialized in playing children trapped in adult bodies and he is doing a lot of that here, although bonnie hunt is not falling behind acting like a scared little girl through a lot of the movie.

alan has this arc where he resents his dad and he doesnt want to be like him, particularly in the fact that he doesnt want to grow up into his fathers version of a grown man (the entire van pelt thing says this explicitly).

this all comes to a head at the end. right after they beat the game and alan and sarah are back to being kids, alans first reaction is to say "i almost forgot! peter and judy!" all excited and starts running towards them until sarah stops him. and is like, that genuine moment of excitement he has, to be able to celebrate their victory with those kids because in his mind they were their friends. that is how he was thinking about them all along.

and then in the epilogue they meet them again after all those years and they still care for them but now they are adults, they are proper adults, and this is simbolized by sarah being pregnant and alan being santa claus. you see how they have to keep their distance from the kids, they can just look longingly at them and give them gifts. there is something bittersweet about that ending.

i dont know. in the real world adults and children cant really be close friends, they just cannot have a relationship between equals, but i always liked it in stories where youre shown a world where it can happen, where kids get to be treated with serously by adults and where adults get to be childish and less serious around children.

“Our ruling classes have always procured that workers do not have a history, no doctrine, no heroes nor martyrs. Each struggle must begin anew, separated from the previous struggles. Collective experience is lost, lessons are forgotten. This way, history appears as private property whose owners are the owners of all things. This time the circle could be broken…”

"There's no thought crimes and no thought heroisms" is honestly such a good piece of life advice.

You could be having the most fucked up problematic thoughts 24/7 but if you treat people with kindness, the good you do is the only thing that matters. But if you have only the purest thoughts and all the correct beliefs, it doesn't matter one bit if you spend most of your time being an asshole to people.
