Louder for the people in the back: No sympathy, no quarter, and no mercy

[darkslover]

Theory: McCree was the one who called Ashe to attack the train.

…because he wanted to wake Echo up. 

And Echo wasn’t supposed to wake up. 

The diner McCree is having his apple pie and coffee is deserted. Like, there’s no staff in there at all. And there should be.

 Coffee is fresh and steamy, one cup ready to be served… but there’s no one.

The dishes are gathered, but they aren’t exactly dirty; or look like they’ve been in the sink for a very long time.

And the apple pie looks fresh and yummy.

All the above don’t indicate a place that was deserted for a long time. And even if this is a place where there’s simply not much traffic, one has to wonder… where’s the staff?

Did McCree do all this? Brewing the coffee I can buy. Putting on the song in the jukebox I can buy as well. But making the pie, putting it in the glass case, cutting up a piece and serving himself in a seat? No way.

Only explanation I can find (that doesn’t include “budget” or “because I say so”) is that McCree himself drove everyone away with his gun.

And then sat there, eating his pie and waiting for the train.

Why?

Because he had called the Deadlock Gang right before that to give them the tip. 

The tip he refers to here:

“You’ve never been one to shy away from a good tip.”

And Ashe called McCree being there “awful convenient”. 

So, McCree was the one who set it all up. He called them from the hanging phone, then drew his gun on everyone in the diner to send them away, since he knew that the Deadlock Gang would appear and it’d be dangerous for them. So, he acted like the Bad Guy for their safety. 

He poured himself a cup of coffee, he sliced some apple pie and waited. Lo and behold, animated short begins.

“But why?”

The answer is simple. He says so himself.

“All I want is that crate.”

Echo. He did all of this to get Echo back. 

Remember, Echo is Overwatch. Overwatch is outlawed still, even in this time of need. From McCree’s words, “They’re getting the band back together,” Winston has just sent the call and McCree recieved it. And he knew that Echo, for whatever reason, would be extremely useful and needed to Winston and the newly pieced back together Overwatch. 

But, Overwatch is still illegal. And no one must know that it is getting back together, otherwise the people will be hunted down and arrested, no matter how noble Winston’s intentions are; the law is the law.

So, what is McCree supposed to do now that Overwatch needs help, has called for him specifically, he wants to help, he knows that Echo would be more useful than him and he needs to free her and send her to Winston without him ever be connected to it, because he’s a known ex-Overwatch member? Or, even better, an ex-Blackwatch member, the fraction that supposedly, put Overwatch in trouble in the first place?

How to steal Echo away from the government without linking himself, Overwatch/Blackwatch to it so that he can keep the return of the Overwatch a secret for as long as possible from any government?

Use the Deadlock Gang, of course.

This way, their presence is everywhere in the crime scene, they get the blame and both McCree and his connections to Overwatch/Blackwatch are erased. Echo goes back, he goes to fetch maybe another member in secret.

“Why would he get through so much trouble?”

He cares about Overwatch and believes in its mission, duh.

As for the complex nature of this whole operation… Jesse McCree was Blackwatch. Covert missions. Acting from the shadows, framing others and leaving no traces behind that it was him is exactly what Blackwatch used to do.

And all he’d have to face is the accusations that he pulled a gun to the people in the diner. Maybe. Which wouldn’t be a big deal for him; he’s already an outlaw. 

[dracofidus-deactivated20200523]

Hey, dumb American question here. Every UK person I have ever met hates Margaret Thatcher. Why? What terrible thing did she do to piss off that many people for so long?

Where do I fucking start?

So, Thatcher was the bane of the working classes, and much of what she did still has repercussions to this day. So, in no particular order, just in the order I remember them, here are some things she did that pissed us off - 

•In 1989 she introduced this thing called the “Community Charge” but which everyone calls the “Poll Tax” which replaced an older system in which your tax payment was based on the rental value of your home. This new tax meant that people living in one bedroom flats would pay the same as a billionaire living in a mansion. Obviously, the rich loved it, everyone else… not so much. So there were riots (video of news about the riots) - There were lots of riots in the Thatcher years, and they were all notable for the extreme levels of police brutality.

(photo, poll tax protest in Trafalgar Square, 1990)

•Then there was her war on industry. There was a lot of inflation when she came to power, so she instituted anti-inflationary measures. All well and good… except not the way she did it. She closed many government controlled industries, most famously steel and coal. The amount spent on public industries dropped by 38% under Thatcher. The coal miners went on strike, for almost a year, but in the end, the pits were still closed, and 64,000 people lost their jobs. Unemployment rates soared in industrial areas, and inequality between these (generally northern or welsh) areas and the rest of the UK is still there. During the strike there were numerous violent clashes with the police at picket lines which were widely televised. As a memoir from one miner attests: “I saw a police officer with a fire extinguisher in his hand, bashing a lad in the back. I tried to get closer to note down the officer’s number but they were wearing black boilersuits with no numbers. The next thing I knew, a police officer struck me from behind. I was coming in and out of consciousness as I was dragged across the road into an alleyway. They blocked off the alley and beat another lad and me with sticks until I was unconscious.” (I can’t post the whole thing it’s too long, but read it in the Guardian) Images such as this swept the country, turning many people against Thatcher -

And after it was all over people felt Thatcher had lied, saying she wanted to close only 20 pits, when in the end, 75 were closed down.

• Inequality soared whilst she was prime minister. There is a thing called the gini coefficient, it is the most common method of measuring inequality. Under gini, a score of one would be a completely unequal society; zero would be completely equal. Britain’s gini score went up from 0.253 to 0.339 by the time Thatcher resigned.

•During her time as prime minister the notorious ‘Section 28′ was published. It stated: A local authority shall not (a) intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality; (b) promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship. - Section 28 wasn’t repealed until 2003.

• She introduced the Right To Buy scheme, which allowed people to buy their council houses for a very low price, which, at first glance, seems like a great idea, allowing people who normally wouldn’t be able to afford their own home to have one - however, loads of people have entered the scheme and now we have far too little social housing, meaning there has been a sharp rise in homelessness.

• The Battle of the Beanfield was a clash between hippies and police near Stonehenge in 1985. 1300 police officers converged on a convoy of 600 new age travellers who were heading to Stonehenge to set up a free festival in violation of a high court order. Again, there was an insane amount of police brutality, and 16 travellers were hospitalised, 573 people were arrested (one of the biggest mass arrests in UK history) - “Pregnant women were clubbed with truncheons, as were those holding babies. The journalist Nick Davies, then working for The Observer, saw the violence. ‘They were like flies around rotten meat,’ he wrote, ‘and there was no question of trying to make a lawful arrest. They crawled all over, truncheons flailing, hitting anybody they could reach. It was extremely violent and very sickening.’” (source) - Once everyone was arrested, the empty vehicles, which were in many cases the only homes the travellers had “were then systematically smashed to pieces and several were set on fire. Seven healthy dogs belonging to the Travellers were put down by officers from the RSPCA.” (source same as above)

Most of the charges were dismissed in court after Lord Cardigan, who had tagged along with them to see what would happen, testified on behalf of the travellers against the police. 

•Her removal of Irish dissidents right to be placed in a category that essentially made them political prisoners instead of merely criminals led to a hunger strike that ended in 10 deaths, including that of Bobby Sands, who was elected from his prison cell, reflecting the immense national, and international support for Irish nationalists. Thatchers lack of sympathy, or even empathy led to her becoming even more of a hate figure.

• She presided over a rapid deregulation of the banks, which ultimately led to much of the problems during britains 2007-2012 financial crash many years later.

• She took free milk from school children, which, though not as serious as anything else listed here, directly affected every child in the UK and was very unpopular, leading her to get the nickname “Maggie Thatcher, Milk Snatcher”, which is still used today.

• Oh… and she supported Apartheid and called Mandela a terrorist.

This is nowhere near everything she’s done that pisses people off, but I hope it goes some way to explaining why when she died “ding dong the witch is dead” became number one in the UK charts, people partied in the streets, and people protested her (State funded) funeral. She is a decisive figure, some people in the UK do actually love her. I do not. She decimated the UK’s industrial heartland, she caused mass unemployment and the destruction of much of working class culture, she was cavalier in her financial policies and increased inequality by staggering levels, she approved serious police brutality and attempted to destroy the culture of unions in this country.  I fundamentally disagree with all she stood for and it angers me that her mistakes are still affecting this country and the people who live in it. And I am VERY angry that the current government are spending £50 million on a museum about her.

[imbackbaybee]

Regarding selling off social housing, it was specifically that the income that local authorities generated from doing so was not allowed to be reinvested in acquiring new social housing. And no extra budget was allocated to cover building new social housing. The aim was clearly to create a social housing shortage as a twisted way of “motivating” people to stop being poor.

[twenty-three-stars-deactivated2]

Great post. I hate seeing US feminists praising Thatcher, and I’ve seen it a lot.

[jo-ranger]

Let’s not forget how she made repeated attempts to get Britain’s most prolific sex offender Jimmy Savile a knighthood, gave him free rein to do whatever the hell he liked at Stoke Mandeville hospital (including running it into the ground, making himself indispensable there, and oh yeah, abusing scores of patients), as well has having a close friendship with him. This is all in spite of the fact that rumours about him were going around even back then, and on a related note, she actually knew of the abuse accusations against many of her ministers and let them go free despite this.

A feminist? Pah! She actually said, “The feminists hate me, don’t they? And I don’t blame them. For I hate feminism. It is poison.” (and if for some reason you don’t trust that article, just google that quote). She also said that “the battle for women’s rights has largely been won. I owe nothing to women’s lib”, and whilst being PM for 11 years, she only ever appointed one woman, Baroness Young. As this article says, she basically “refused to accept that the majority of women do not have the privilege she had, in other words a rich partner, and lots of childcare provision.” In terms of feminism, she hated any woman who wasn’t financially well off, able-bodied, cishet, white, neurotypical (as you can see in this article), and basically, like her. Great feminism.

She also played a huge part in making Rupert Murdoch the hugely powerful man he is today (and consequently, making the British press so unreliable, ridiculous, and downright dangerous), and it seems she also used this connection to help giver herself more “sunshine headlines” (read: favourable).

I could go on but I feel like I’ve been at this for a while. OP has done a great job in summarising most of the main reasons she’s so hated. I’ve added a number of other important ones here too, but to be honest, just look at any reasonably credible article about her. If it seems positive, then google the topics at hand, and I guarantee there will be the flip side, often explained with a more socially conscious approach.

If you want proof of the bigoted, unrepresentative establishment’s continuing hold on Britain and our politics, just take a look at Thatcher, and take a look at those who praise her to the skies.

[bitchmael]

This is a great post, all I really want to add is that Section 28 (which was a hateful enough piece of legislation anyway) was introduced during the AIDS crisis, & homophobia was very much on the rise at the time.

It’s also worth looking up the controversy surrounding the sinking of the General Belgrano, which killed 323 people. during the Falklands War (Thatcher’s response on hearing of it was “Just rejoice at that news”)

[assassinregrets]

she supported pinochet both politically and personally and i hope she burns for 10,000 screaming years of agony

“Wild Boar in the Forest of Dean” by Rob Ward

[penny-anna]

ok so, for people who have seen the LOTR films but not read the book I’d like to share some things that are 100% canon:

- Sam Gamgee uses the word ‘boner’. In a song. Several times.

- he also writes a poem that contains the phrase ‘golden showers’. (this is actually in the extended cut but they changed it to ‘silver showers’)

- at one point after he’s defeated Saruman steals Merry’s weed & runs away

- Denethor has actual mindreading powers

- so does Faramir (but he’s a nice person so they manifest more as heightened empathy)

- Gandalf ALSO has mindreading powers but for entirely different reasons. he reads Frodo’s mind while he’s sleeping at one point, casually reveals this to Frodo, and Frodo’s just like ‘huh neat’

- rather than bravely drawing the orcs away from Frodo like in the film, in the book Merry and Pippin just kind of, panic, bolt into the woods, and run directly into the orcs’ arms.

- Merry then draws his sword and hacks a bunch of orc hands off

- Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli name themselves ‘the three hunters’ before setting off to rescue Merry and Pippin because they are dorks

- they also improvise a whole song about how much they loved Boromir

- Aragorn does not initially tell the hobbits he’s a friend of Gandalf bcos he wanted them to like him for who he is. im not kidding. he openly admits to this.

- i feel like this is fairly well known but, if you didn’t know Frodo is 50 years old and looks 33

- hobbits PROBABLY age different to humans so looking 33 in practice means he looks about 21

- in accordance with the above Pippin is the equivalent of a 16-17 year old human

- Pippin can pass for a human child and looks like ‘a boy of nine summers’

- this isn’t that weird i just think it’s really cute: Pippin has 3 older sisters and their names are Pearl, Pimpernel and Pervinca. 

- Sam & Rosie have 13 children. One of them is called Goldilocks.

- Frodo has another best friend. His name is Fatty. He stayed behind in the Shire to cover for Frodo’s absence and ends up getting jailed for months by Saruman’s forces.

- Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, who steals spoons, is also jailed by Saruman. (She whacked one of his goons with an umbrella.)

- Grima Wormtongue MAY have eaten an entire hobbit

- Saruman invades the Shire and turns it into a communist hell police state.

- the whole Tom Bombadil thing is common knowledge but if you haven’t read the book i guarantee you he is weirder than you think. 

- to give just 2 examples: 1) the whole tom bombadil arc provides the explanation as to how Eowyn and Merry were able to dispatch the Witch King

- and 2) for unknown reasons sleeping in his house causes everyone to have horrible nightmares… EXCEPT for Sam who has a peaceful and dreamless night. no explanation offered for any of this. 

[tehri]

considering that Pippin’s dad is named Paladin, you fucking know he claimed the right to name each and every one of his children and his poor wife just begged him to choose a different letter to start with

also aragorn openly admitting to being fucking lonely and just wanting friends is treated like a weirdly funny joke in the book by the way that some of the hobbits react to it, and frodo also proceeds very soon after to basically tell aragorn that he’s pretty foul-looking but seems a good guy

[penny-anna]

yes to the above & a small correction + one i forgot:

- Merry does in fact gift Saruman the weed. It’s the bag it’s in that Saruman steals and runs off with. (also give that Merry stole the weed from Saruman’s personal supply in the first place i can’t say i blame him)

- Aragorn literally has magical healing powers. i don’t think they ever explain this in the films but he does very much have healing powers.

[tehri]

- the Ents are able to tear down the entire wall around Isengard, but can for whatever reason not make a single dent in the tower of Orthanc itself

- several riders knew that Merry was there and coming with them to the fields of Pelennor even though he was forbidden to do so, and they just sort of shrug and don’t tell the king

[penny-anna]

- GOD Merry and the riders: they don’t just shrug they straight up act like he isn’t there. to the point where if he talks they just pretend like they don’t hear him. this hurts his feelings.

- Merry doesn’t recognise Eowyn until she reveals herself to the witch-king. it could be that her disguise is just that good but Eowyn herself seems to be kind of surprised that he doesn’t recognise her so it’s possible he’s just a dumbass.

[tehri]

- Pippin goes all in for a suicide mission at the Black Gate because he thinks that Frodo and Sam are captured and/or dead and everything is lost anyway, so he just decides that if he’s going to die, he’s going to die fighting, and then he almost gets squashed by a troll

- Gimli found Pippin underneath said troll after the battle, only because Pippin’s fucking foot was sticking out, and probably had a bit of a panicky moment while he was MOVING the troll to drag Pippin out of there

[penny-anna]

- i can’t believe i forgot about the troll: Pippin single-handedly slays a troll & then its body falls on him and he’s just lying there like ‘well i guess this is how i die’

- Gimli 100% thought pippin was dead when he found him and was so distraught he almost ripped his beard out

[estel-of-the-eyrie]

- There’s also Aragorn making the Mouth of Sauron flee with terror because he glared at him. Not a joke. (An argument can be made here for Aragorn having psychic powers)

[poondragoon]

Or intimidation proficiency

[incorrect-middleearth-quotes]

If I may add…

- Legolas falling out of a tree and screaming.

- Legolas dropping hie bow. And screaming.

- Legolas just screamed. A lot.

- Legolas singing a song that he only knew half of.

- “Do what you will in your madness but I wish to see no eyes!”

- Legolas straight up walking away after a battle and singing

- Legolas sneaking Gimli into Valinor like contraband Twizzlers into the movie theater.

@criticalrolo heeeey claire you know LOTR, so uh

what the fuck

[criticalrolo]

LISTEN… THESE BOOKS ARE A LOT

[mikkeneko]

- everybody rags on Frodo for being a dumbass at the Prancing Pony, but listen, Merry knew they were on a top secret mission carrying the Ring and that the forces of Sauron were actively searching for them and not far away and he still decided it would be a good idea to just go out for a walk,  at night in a strange city, all by himself, just because he fucking felt like some fresh air

[penny-anna]

Ok TO BE FAIR to Merry, unlike the others he hadn’t actually SEEN the Nazgul at this point (just glimpsed one from the other side of the river) and as a result doesn’t understand just how much danger they’re in.

[thranduilland]

I found my copy of the books a few days ago… might be time for a reread…

[omgkatsudonplease]

don’t forget when saruman went evil and told gandalf he promoted himself from saruman the white to “saruman of many colours” gandalf was like “but i liked white better”,,,,,he legit said that that was his rebuttal

[bisexualthorin]

Ok but what about when legolas, gimli and Aragorn are tracking merry and pippin and legolas just watches as Aragorn rolls around in the fucking dirt and when he’s like “there are a lot of riders on horses coming this way!!” legolas is basically like, yea I know I’ve seen them for awhile there are 105 and their leader is tall LEGOLAS

[claroquequiza]

- In the movies, Gandalf catches Sam eavesdropping and forces him to accompany Frodo, and Merry and Pippin are just kinda there–but in the book, it turns out Frodo is Very Bad at keeping secrets and is lucky the whole Shire doesn’t know about the Ring. All three not only know about the Ring almost as soon as Frodo does, but they organize an actual goddamn conspiracy to spy on Frodo for the purpose of making sure he doesn’t go gallivanting off on an adventure without them whilst preparing supplies for the selfsame adventure, which includes the before-mentioned Fatty Bolger staying behind partially to impersonate Frodo so people won’t know he’s gone for as long as possible 

- This is the most forethought any of them show for the entire series. They are never so thoughtful ever again

- There are probably Entwives, or Ent women, living in the Shire. This is evidenced by Sam’s cousin seeing a walking tree, Treebeard commenting that the Entwives would like the Shire when Merry and Pippin describe it to him, and possibly an explanation for why the Shire is so agriculturally rich and bountiful (because Entwives invented agriculture), and why the Hobbits love trees so much

- Nobody knows if the Balrog in the Mines of Moria has wings or not because the text is ambiguous and this is a semi-thorny issue among LotR fans and scholars

- That pony that they send away just before the Mines of Moria? Bill the pony? Totally a recurring character that comes back for the finale

- It is literally never mentioned in the book itself, but the appendices reveal that Merry and Pippin are basically Shire Royalty. Pippin is next in line to be Thain (or Chieftain) of the Hobbits and Merry becomes the Master of Buckland (which is for all intents and purposes an independent Hobbit country bordering the Shire)

- Sam then gets elected Mayor of the Shire, so the three basically rule the Shire as a triumvirate for fifty years, and are officially acknowledged as such by Aragorn

- Except not really because as mentioned earlier Saruman tries to turn the Shire into communist hell, which annoys the Hobbits because they like to think of themselves as libertarians. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Also Aragorn declares the Shire off-limits to all humans forever. The law even applies to himself, so when he and Arwen visit they have to set up camp just outside the border with their attendants like fancy hobos

- Hobbits are vicious gossipers and there a popular theory among them that Frodo’s mom murdered his dad by pushing him out of a boat and he grabbed her and pulled her in after him so they both drowned

- There is at least one sentient or near-human intelligence fox living in the Shire. It happens upon Frodo, Sam, and Pippin and wonders why three hobbits are sleeping outdoors in the middle of nowhere, and Tolkien takes the time to point out that it never did find out what they were up to

- When Gandalf goes to Isengard, all the goblins and orcs and mineshafts and everything are already there, but he just kinda—-doesn’t notice them. Not until he’s locked up on top of Orthanc and they cut down all the trees which were apparently hiding everything

And that’s everything I remember off the top of my head, LOL

(long pointless comic post, press J to skip) The following post was angrily dumped in my notes a few months ago, authored by an 18-year-old who is absolutely convinced that they know how the American economy works better than I do, and wanted to shout at me about it. I began to respond to it a few times, but I felt that it wasn’t kind or productive to burn the poor kid down when I have a platform, and they clearly had a lot on their minds, and as the responsible adult in the situation I should really offer them gentle kindness and guidance instead. But it was so funny. And they came to my house to shout at me. So I’ve posted their post below, divorced of context (so they can divorce themselves from the post, as they almost certainly would like to do in the cold light of day) because I thought the comic I produced in response had a certain Absurd Fascination.

(LISTEN if we all had multiple adults in every household CAN YOU IMAGINE how we could SPREAD THE PENSION RISK)

[absynthe--minded]

as much as I appreciate the fact that there are people in the Silmarillion fandom who are willing to see Melian as more culpable and responsible for various ills than the text seems to indicate, I feel like this comes at the expense of an aspect of Elu’s character that I wish more of us would explore

namely, Elwë Singollo, Monster Fucker

this guy comes upon a minor god in the woods, a god that we aren’t even told is in a recognizable human form, and his innate reaction is “I’d tap that”

then once the enchantment lifts (over them both, not just him) and his free will is back in action they immediately get to babymaking and kingdom building

not only that, it’s his descendants that are interested in interspecies romance

he’s the equivalent of a Tumblr blogger crushing on Venom, only he got his wish

you go, Elu

in d&d, deer have 14 wisdom. a deer is just as wise as my ranger for whom i put his second-highest ability roll in wisdom and who uses wisdom to cast most of his spells. a deer is wiser than everyone in the friendship campaign party other than erwyn, who is tied with said deer. what the fuck

[inkskinned]

in the real life deer are about as smart as 4-year-olds. they have communication, planning, and cause-and-effect intelligence. we’re also selectively breeding for smarter and smarter deer - and recently deer have been observed teaching their young to watch for traffic. 

in my experience this makes deer just as wise as most frat boys.

other animals w/real-life “that’s higher than i expected” wisdom throws:

crows (like most corvids) make us feel bad about ourselves and are about as smart as 7-year-olds. for your reference 7-year-olds understand and can confidently do multiplication tables usually up to x12 and understand fractions. crows know how to make tools and know how water displacement works.

raccoons are also about as smart as 7-10 year olds and that’s why they wash their food before they eat it gbless

cows, with 5-7 year old intelligence, and the fact they got bffs and like jazz music just an fyi

coyotes, which are smarter than your dog + smarter than pigs, neither of which will be on this list bc, come on, we all know about poodles + pigs.

we don’t even fuckken know when it comes to bears, we know they can remember as far back as 10 years + they have complex communication + social structures and are extremely adaptable but like …. ??

we also Just Don’t Know about the octopus, who is currently engaged in some kind of undersea war

we think elephants are self-aware. along with altruism, humor, and genuine concern, this makes them better than lots of politicians

people always mention dolphins, chimps, parrots, and COMPLETELY overlook the true hero: pigeons, who can literally understand space and time as concepts. damn.
