using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold

HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY

Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...

Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).

The lovely Sir Derek Jacobi 🌹

He is an English actor known for his roles on stage and screen as well as for his work at the Royal National Theatre!

A lot of the time when I point out that some right-wing policy is proven to not achieve the thing it purports to have as a goal, people rightly point out that the real goal is the negative outcomes that do happen.

Which is correct!

But this is often framed as me approaching the right wing naively by the respondent.

That's not the case at all. I know they're evil. The goal is to demonstrate that they're lying by exposing the way the rhetoric fails to line up with reality.

This has to be ongoing work because someone new has their political awakening every day. Every day, someone needs to learn that the right wing position is wrong on all levels, not just the obvious ones.

there will be people out there who still think the war on drugs (as the absolute first thing that comes to mind) is a legitimate social cause against an antisocial blight on society. if you come out the gate with (the very true statement) that it's actually been a deliberate campaign to target minorities and other undesirable groups to the ruling class, you're going to sound like a clueless conspiracy nut

whereas if you come with a very defensible, statistically supported point of "it doesn't work and has never worked" you can open the door to the follow up question of "why did the government do it in the first place, and (in many cases) why are they still doing it?"

[tpwrtrmnky]

This, exactly.

The play is to:

Demonstrate that the policy doesn't work

Demonstrate that the people enforcing the policy have everything they need to know it doesn't work

Provide the context of what the policy achieves in the absence of its "intended" outcome.

Remind people that the purpose of a system is what it does.

Then, instead of being a non-sequitur claim you're just pulling out of thin air, the conclusion is the most reasonable way to assemble the provided puzzle pieces.

happy pride month

“A full moon flooded the ancient cemetery with light, even though a heavy fog lay over the entire area – the Master of the Dead and his equally infamous Princess of Darkness left their tomb to seat themselves on marble thrones, once again ready to judge those, the newly dead, brought before them … THE JUDGEMENT DAY …”

/ Edward D Wood Jr’s own synopsis for Orgy of the Dead /

Light a black candle! Today is a sacred occasion. Kitsch classick and camp masturpiece (sic) Orgy of the Dead (1965) was released on this day (1 June 1965). The macabre “nudie cutie” sexploitation horror film – also known as Nudie Ghoulies, Ghouls & Dolls and Orgy of the Damned - was directed by Stephen C Apostolof with a script by demented visionary Edward D Wood Jr (a reliable sign of quality!), filmed in Gorgeous Astravision and Shocking Sexicolour and is pretty much 92-minutes of topless go-go dancers shakin’ it amidst dry ice in a graveyard. In other words – it’s irresistible and essential! Pictured: Orgy of the Dead’s stars Fawn Silver as The Black Ghoul (the role was initially offered to – and clearly inspired by – Maila Nurmi (aka Vampira); note how Silver’s beehive hairdo and impressive cleavage anticipate Elvira, Mistress of the Dark) and the amazing Criswell as The Emperor (Criswell is often visibly reading his lines off cue cards).

i want to see some absolutely dogshit, piss-poor renaissance paintings.

ik the masters were great and everything, but not everyone back then could have been a master. i need some frame of reference over here.

[valdevia]

May I introduce you to "The Ricotta Eaters" (1585), a painting I could only describe as Ontologically Evil:

I know it's technically competent, but it just has a horrid aura surrounding it. I don't even care about disrespecting the Italian master Vincenzo Campi anymore, he should have looked at this painting and destroyed it like a sick beast.

[elodieunderglass]

They’re eating ricotta in a way we did NOT choose to continue

[lew-basnight]

Nightmare ricotta rotation

[champagnemanagement]
