Flint is so funny because he's an example of anti-system leader who want the best for his fellow man.

But doesn't LIKE his fellow man. Or woman. He tries, but he really just can't help but feel annoyed by most of the people he is trying to lead against the system (or liberate from it) and feels slightly superior to most of them.

He settle on wanting to free his fellow man or woman from an evil Empire because he likes and respects England even less than he likes and respects his fellow man.

Which is valid btw but it's fun how he genuinely only likes and respects a max of five people in the whole show, and yet he still says things like "I can't believe we are so poorly made as that."

Yes you believe that in your daily life, that's why you can't open up with anyone and you can’t stop treating them as your politically, morally and intellectually inferiors!

I think it's fascinating that in abstract he believes in the inherent goodness of humanity and the idea that in a more equal and less corrupted society, people would not oppress each others for fun and history would be a journey though progress; in concrete he thinks that every person he interact with is dumber than him and need to be manipulated and convinced to do exactly what he thinks is the right thing to do, with very fews exception of two or three people he considers as smart and morally righteous as himself.

What a funny character.

The contraddiction of his character between his political/ideological optimism about humanity as a whole and his deep distrust and dislike of almost any individual he meets on a personal and intellectual level is so entrateining and very realistic.

Tumblr is a fate driven website. You can't find posts through the search function, you see them when you're meant to.

Literally had someone say to me the other day something about why can't Jews just make a home where they're at? Why do Jews need a whole country?

And like... You know, for a while, that was a popular idea!

And then the entire fucking world proved that Jews aren't safe, and that we cannot trust anyone but us to protect us. And all of the assimilationists and the Bundists were fucking murdered in the Shoah and all the other atrocities that followed.

Zionism is a vote of no confidence in the rest of the world to keep us safe.

״Zionism is a vote of no confidence in the rest of the world to keep us safe.״ the last 2.5 years have definitely not helped instill confidence .

The two new ships I've been into in 2025 have been hollanov and kingdon, and it just dawned on me they both feature a glasses-wearing neurodivergent person and an asshole.

couldn't think of the ER theme/credits, and then it started playing and I immediately was like - "is Benton going to punch the air?" and he did!

Okay guys, so on the eve of getting rid of our fucking authoritarian leader, I will tell you how we did it, despite the governments overwhelming media presence and fucking undercover operations against the opposition.

It was actually said best by a Hungarian comic, I'm paraphrasing a bit: If your house is on fire, you can't be like 'well that's not the fireman I imagined'.

I know it's been said a thousand times before, I know everybody is raging against having to vote for a less than ideal candidate, but today has proven that it fucking works. It's the only thing that works. And if the new guy is just a step closer to what you want? That's a fucking win. That's a fucking step in the right direction.

Is Péter Magyar going to usher in gay marriage and UBI? No. But he's not going to ban pride, like Orbán tried. Is he going to cut all ties with Russia? Probably not, but is he going to make sure that we stay in the EU? Fuck yeah. And over Orbán, that's a fucking improvement, and I will take it gladly.
