A Christmas Carol is so wild to me because it takes not one, not two, but like four fucking ghosts to convince this dude not to be the biggest douche in the universe. Like, four fucking ghosts came back from the dead, rose from the Goddamn grave to be like, “I came back from the dead because you need to quit your shit.” Fuck. How big of an asshole do you have to be to have four fucking ghosts tell you to stop?

[moon-crater]

Have you ever met a rich capitalist

[mirrorfalls]

Also, one of those ghosts was a rich capitalist douche. He needed to reform Scrooge to work off his own sentence, didn’t he?

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Marley’s ghost basically told Scrooge that if he kept being a greedy douchebag he would go to hell and Scrooge still needed convincing and that honestly is 100% believable to me

That an old rich white guy being told “Your going to hell unless you help the poor” would respond by going “I still kind of want to NOT help the poor tho?”

Charlie Dickens knew what was up.

[badgrapple-deactivated20220614]

Dickens had to work in a factory hos entire childhood. His father was thrown in a debtor’s prison. Thats why all his stories are about rich fucks getting owned.

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

The thing I love about A Christmas Carol is that at the time he wrote it, Christmas, as a holiday, was on par with our Arbor Day. And Scrooge held the Majority Opinion. 

 Dickens originally set out to write a Very Serious Pamphlet About the Plight of the Poor in Modern Times, with numbers, and statistics, and gruesome details about the state of debtors prisons. And he realized that it would probably not change a single thing, in the end.

So he changed it to fiction, and made it emotional, and focused on the lives in one specific family.  And he also self-published it, because he realized that a for-profit publishing house wouldn’t want to touch it.  And gave it to friends.

Not only did it help change people’s attitudes toward charity organizations and help reform labor laws, it also (pretty much) revived the whole custom of celebrating Christmas at all.

That, my friends, is the power of a well written ghost story.

[mad-march-hares-tea-party-deact]

I just looked up this to see if this was true and it is!

The pamphlet was going to be called ‘An Appeal to the People of England, on behalf of the Poor Man’s Child’

He decided to write the story because he realised that soap-boxing factory workers and their employers on the importance of educational reform wasn’t going to work on a society-wide scale.

A Christmas Carol is literally a leftist/socialist story about not being a dickwad to your employees because they’re human too, your ‘fellow man’

On this day, 15 November 1922, over 1,000 workers were massacred by the state during a general strike in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

the year is 1888

me, the first palaeontologist to dig up a triceratops skull, whispering softly: what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuckkkk

[the-neon-pineapple]

fun fact: modern paleontologists and archaeologists have pointed to some greek vase art of mythological monsters as being evidence that the greeks dug up dinosaur skulls and were like “what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuckkkk” 

and then they did the Greek Thing and painted naked men fighting the monster 

or, well, a deeply flawed representation of what they imagined the fossil had looked like while alive, an early form of paleoart. 

but sometimes they also just. drew the skull and slapped a black blob monster onto it? anyway i love the greeks.

[extemporaneousmusings]

The vase is a Late Corinthian column krater in the mfa!

And the theory abt the fossils is in Adrienne Mayor’s book The First Fossil Hunters.

full offense but the increase in cop shows in recent years being concurrent with the more widespread condemnation of the police is not a fucking coincidence

[vague-humanoid]

‘Dragnet’ was straight up LAPD propaganda, on national TV for years

The show created the idea of the American cop, but racial rebellions shattered that image

Since the inception of television, portrayal of crime and justice has been a central feature on television. In particular, the police are fe

Some history, cop shows exist to make the public like cops.

Original detective stories of Sherlock Holmes: depict police as stiff and lacking imagination

Later developments from early 20th century (Agatha Christie and such): similarly, police is stupid and easily tricked by criminals, and smart amateurs have to save the day

around 1930s ‘hardboiled’ and noir fiction: police are every bit and corrupt and detestable as criminals, and sometimes ARE the gangsters. These are almost entirely realistic, as they’re often written from actual experiences of real private detectives

1940s, vigilante detective fiction like Batman and the Shadow: where as always, police is portrayed as at worst corrupt and at best useless, and it’s up to brilliant people in masks to solve crimes

1950s: SUDDENLY with Dragnet, police are all brilliant crimefighter heroes who solve all the crimes, and are Always Lawful Good, and criminals are Always Chaotic Evil

onwards: 80-90% of detective fiction is about cops, and usually follows the Dragnet formula (e.g. stuff like CSI)

Thesis: police procedural is a predatory creation that has co-opted the notoriously anti-cop genre of detective fiction, whose primary starting idea was that cops were little more than thugish brutes, unsuited to subtle scientific art of solving crimes, and turned it into shallow propaganda.

Thesis point 2: Scooby Doo are the only unproblematic modern detective stories.

British food look like this

[roseskinnycoffee]

Excuse me.

Okay.. alright..

British food does not look like that.

That is British food:

This is British food:

Sunday dinner looks amazing right?

This is also British food:

So what cheek do you have at commenting that British food is basically shit. And yes I’m British and we don’t all drink tea and speak posh oh no. That’s due to the area you live in.

Oxfordshire=posh

London= cockney

Midlands= northern

Welsh= north

And Scotland northern

And the food depends on what area you get your food from different areas have different ideas on food such as Scotland haggis and deep fried Mars bars.

So just don’t Diss British food, you’ve probably never tried it.

[antifainternational]

so the other night i was at a gig and saw a guy with what i think was a fascist patch but i'm not sure? it had a black background with a helmet (like a roman soldier's one), two hammers crossed and these like wreath/vine things at the bottom, all in yellow, does this sound familiar? the band i saw are pretty openly leftist so i'm kinda confused lmao

Do you mean kinda like this?

Because that sounds a lot like the logo for Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice - the world’s most successful anti-racist skinhead movement. (BTW, we still have a few of these patches up for grabs here!)

[kropotkindersurprise]

Sounds like that logo was a combo of the aforementioned SHARP (skinheads against racial prejudice) logo and a Working Class Skinheads logo:

Which is mostly used by class-conscious RASH (Red and Anarchist SkinHead) types, but also sometimes by shitty “apolitical” skinheads. If the hammers look like this it’s a nazi bonehead:

Can u LITERALLY imagine dying and having ur body donated and instead of being used for research or organ donation some tumblr yahoo with a url like “cummy-kitten” buys your skeleton and takes selfies with it and unknowlingly youre at the center of tumblr drama but youre fucking dead

[maxknightley]

What a wild hypothetical that, for the sake of my fragile emotional well-being, I will assume is not based in some hellish recent event I have yet to hear about!

[property-is-theft-deactivated20]

Ever hear about the Australian PM who called everyone comrade, made tertiary education free , made hospital free, introduced no fault divorce, legalised abortion, recognised the indigenous peoples, opened the national gallery, plus so fucking much more, who was finally ousted after like, a year and a half, while trying to nationalise our resources, as an aussie he is the only politician who ever mattered.
