Friend who's inherited the family business and was always kinda pampered, but still generally pleasant to talk with: Mom and Dad had to close the store down. Its so fucked. We worked so hard, but there's just no business to be done in this stupid economy. I always wanted to take over, learn the ropes, but for now, that's impossible. Gotta start looking for a job, make enough to take care of my folks. Don't even know if they hire people with my qualifications these days.

[Marxist-on-Your-Shoulder (Trivial: Success) The systemic downturns of capitalism inevitably produce a crisis in which the petit-bourgeois is proletarianised, torn from the class destiny it imagined for itself and forced into the muck of the market as another faceless contender for contracting wages and meagre jobs... an ally in a war they do not fully know is being fought]

[Lameass French Theorist You Studied for Two Semesters (Medium: Success) Oui... la capitalisme castrates and unmans ze 'little man' of business... he is spat upon, dis'regharded, and forced to make an inventory of la corporeal... the body, now brought abruptly into the light and smog of consciousness and history, sold for a paltry wage. He fumbles for his lost manhood, but it is perdu, and now he suffocates under the weight of considerations, outrages and sneers. Oui, he has become la femme, the scullery girl, the pale lady clutching her bag on the bus between shifts... ah, Jeanne of the absent phallus, vanishing into the records of sale and taxation, her legs spread by the very absence-born-of-presence between them... Miss manqué on her route misérable into the sorry tomorrows!]

[Gentle Pervert (Trivial: Success) You're saying that the the masculine son, heir to the family trade, was made into a wandering daughter? Hmm...]

Notes:

Second poll will remain open until 50 years from publishing

Bot options share a UUID, making a vote for either count for both

Previously, a vote in the first poll counted for both options in the second

A vote for the second poll increases the vote count for both polls, despite the first ostensibly being closed

the idea that the british empire accepted their decline with grace and peacefully and willingly withdrew from all their colonial territories and took their loss quietly is commonly expressed as fact but it's very much untrue, it's a successful propaganda campaign for them to claim that this is what happened but they were busy committing war crimes throughout their colonial territories long after supposed "independence" & they continued/continue to maintain economic control over these regions and actively killed local movements that wanted economic sovereignty, land reform, nationalization of natural resources much like the united states did/does within their sphere of influence. i say this not to minimize the atrocities the us has committed but to make a point that the uk is also guilty of these crimes up to the present as much as they'd like to pretend this was an era that ended a century ago. british colonial violence isn't something that ended after ww2 it continued throughout the 20th century and still to this day if you look at the actions undertaken by the british military and their mercenaries throughout the former empire

[handweavers]

for the past handful of years ive seen people say stuff like "well the british empire accepted their decline with grace and pulled out when they saw the ship sinking so why can't the us do that" and it's important that you understand that the british empire didn't actually do that and neither will their son lol

[handweavers]

i know this is shocking to many of you but this is the mainstream belief in the uk + the narrative that is pushed at a state level, in school, by the bbc, etc. and i've heard it expressed by many canadians/americans/australians as well. "they quietly withdrew" is not just a media propaganda thing but a programme the british colonial office undertook to cover up their crimes, see operation legacy

"alas" is a truly S tier english word. fantastic mouthfeel, makes me sound like a world-weary wizard, looks cool when written out. good job to whoever created this word.

There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

[scavengerofcool]

They should make an anime about major history events actually. That way people could still ship the characters and be forced into accidentally learning things

i think we need copyright reform. currently most works are protected by copyright for the life of the author plus 70 years. here are my two proposals.

18 years. this is enough time for the work to grow to adulthood and begin to care for itself

life of the author + zero years. i like this one because it encourages you to kill people

[asmrgaret]

it’s weird that professional letters are supposed to start with “dear.” i don’t even call my mom that
