peeta tried to save him and katniss by saying she had a baby, because he knew that would pull at the capitals heart strings. In a dystopian society, peeta mellark knew the capital would care more about a fetus than the real dying children . this sounds oddly familiar
saw the 20th anniversary pride and prejudice 2005 rerelease today
the problem with meeting people after you graduate from school is that it's no longer 'do you like me enough after our first conversation that you'd hang out in the cafeteria a 5 min walk away with me again sometime' it's 'do you like me enough after our first conversation that you'd bus out for 1 hour into the salty sludgy grime streets bitterly cold btw and skeletal trees ghastly backdrop of winter that point their gnarled accusatory fingers down into

its from a post. you wouldnt get it
Tracked vehicles like tanks will literally destroy the roads making it a mess for following vehicles. The roads would likely be unusable afterwards for ordinary auto traffic and would have to be replaced. This would lead to weeks, if not months, of traffic disruption and a cost of tens of millions to replace the roads and an undefinable amount for lost business.
sometimes you just need to say what the actual fuck and move on
Democrats are so ready to rehabilitate capitalist war criminals, including the one that they detested in the 2000s. Watch them do this with Trump in 10 years.
More like 3-4 times that, but the point stands.
just a reminder for yâall
carter: the operation eagle claw debacle, responsible for severing ties with the soviets when they invaded afghanistan (and laying the groundwork for funding the mujaheddin), forcibly capped cuban refugee entry
clinton: bombed iraq three separate times, upheld the no-fly zones, ordered the bombing of yugoslavia, responsible for the disastrous intervention in somalia
bush: the american intervention in afghanistan, the toppling of the iraqi government, the entire blackwater war crimes scandal, GTMO, Abu Ghraib (donât google that), blamed the israeli airstrikes in gaza on the palestinians
obama: responsible for toppling the libyan government, leading to actual fucking slave markets, gave the go-ahead for the saudi war crimes in yemen, ordered drone strikes on civilian targets also in yemen, hit syria with cruise missiles and funded jihadi forces in idlib, which by proxy ended up supporting Daâesh (ISIL)
Carter always gets ânot like the other girlsâ treatment when he continued funding the Indonesian military dictatorship during the peak of the genocidal violence during occupation of Timor-Leste, which killed over a third of the indigenous population.
Friendly reminder that if the judgements of the Nuremburg Trials were enforced after WW2, every US president since FDR would be hanged as a war criminal.
Oh, incidentally: it has since come out that Obama greenlit the CIA to help destabilize the left-leaning government of Brazil and bring Bolsonaro to power. So when you read about the Amazon rainforests dying because Bolsonaro encouraged mining companies to set fires to clear land (and force the natives off)? That was Obama (and Biden).
I like the people in the notes arguing over whether the dem or repub presidents ended up doing more damage, like, you all are so close to getting it.
why is yikes plural. why so many yike
iâve got like 2 friends maybe 2.5
As much as I do love the âSpaceX is just burning money for no reason, Elon Musk is personally designing these rockets badly, the whole company is a joke, Elonâs going to blow up on his way to Marsâ banter, I think itâs important to reckon with the actual reality of SpaceX as a military contractor.
Their âStarshipâ is not, and never was designed to fly to Mars - thatâs a marketing scheme, and it makes no sense if you actually look at the vehicle. SpaceX is able to throw money at this project because theyâve got a military contract to produce it as a military cargo drone. Their âStarshipâ is designed to deliver a C-130âČs load of US military cargo to anywhere in the world within an hour.
SpaceX, from before its first ever launch, has been partnered with the US military - as noted in the incident where the company stranded its workers without food on an island owned by the US Army. SpaceXâs constant failures with their rocket come from a simple calculation - cost versus time. To slowly and methodically design a rocket such that, by your first test flight, youâre confident in it, is just that: slow. Blowing up rocket after rocket and iterating is fast, but expensive - but when you have military contractor money, itâs worth it.
This is far from SpaceXâs only time contracting for the military, having launched military payloads with their Falcon rockets, and even designed satellites for the military. Thereâs a reason only USAmerican citizens are allowed to work at SpaceX.
The image of SpaceX as an eccentric billionaireâs quest to colonise Mars serves as a marketing ploy which distracts from the companyâs real existence as part of the US military industrial complex, beholden not to the Reddit-fueled whims of an egocentric moron, but to the massive economic and structural forces of modern capitalism.

american leftists seem extremely focused on anti imperialism (good) but rarely- if at all- discuss decolonization in their own fucking country, despite acknowledging that it is a settler colonial state.
im serious about this though. as an urban indian, i definitely cant speak on this as much as a rez indian could. but i know from talking to rez friends i have and from what the american indian movement has screamed for over the years that we need land we can grow on, we need clean water, we need to allow the wildlife that once lived in this land to live here again (meaning you need to listen to us before building those high speed rails you all get so hard over).
you cant drool over the zapatistas while ignoring people in your own country who have a similar goal
silly me I never provided things to read on the topic of decolonization! Iâd personally suggest the following as âbeginner levelâ essential reading to understand decolonization:
Discourse on Colonialism (AimĂ© CĂ©saire) - this is more a focus on colonization, but I feel itâs a necessary read in my opinion as in order to understand decolonization I believe itâs important to first understand colonization.
Wretched of the Earth (Franz Fanon)
Decolonization is Not a Metaphor (Tuck, Yang)
also an âeasy to processâ read, to understand landback specifically here in Turtle Island, Iâd suggest reading The Red Deal (there is a pdf, I donât mean the article with the same title)
Discourse on Colonialism (PDF, ebook, mobi)
The Wretched of the Earth (PDF, ebook)
Decolonization is Not a Metaphor (PDF)
The Red Deal (PDFs of Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)
