Most Yankee queers I've seen talking about the Trans Amendment Bill in India that literally erases our identities, forces incredibly harmful restrictions on us that will leave the vast majority of Trans people without access to medical care, recognition or legal support and leaves the door open for "stricter punishment" if we self-identify as Trans and don't fall into these categories, have tried their damn hardest to make it only about themselves huh.

rhaenyra and alicent developed vastly different parenting styles because they had vastly different childhoods, and i don't think one should be dragged over the other bc motherhood is a deeply personal experience. rhaenyra was raised in a place of neglect, her father wasn't there for there bc she wasn't a male heir (she shows signs of that neglect the first episode) and he stole her mother from her by murdering her in childbirth. rhaenyra felt unloved and felt unwanted and so unsure of herself and it was only until years later when she was an adult that he truly repented for aemma's death and his neglect of rhaenyra. that's why rhaenyra was such a doting, affectionate and assuring mother, because she did not want her children to feel unwanted or unloved as she had, and that is why she fought so hard for the realm not to talk about them being bastards, bc that was a stemming from a place of being hated and unwanted, and that was what rhaenyra had felt in her childhood. she raised them to be sweet, kind, diplomatic and valuing honor bc she wanted them to feel loved and cherished (something that came from aemma & the honor came from harwin).

i don't believe alicent was any less loving but she displayed her love in a different way. alicent was used as a pawn of her father, to achieve hightower influence in court and in the realm, she was used to be a breeding machine by viserys. and alicent did not want to see her children become pawns like she had, so she raised them to be quite independent (as shown by their attitudes in the show) and with a tougher kind of love than rhaenyra bc she didn't want them to be soft and malleable like she had been but it's obvious that she loves them so much (standing between aegon and meleys, her gentleness with helaena). and unlike rhaenyra's children, these children were born out of marital rape, so it was so much more emotionally and mentally straining on her in bearing these children because this was duty and marital rape while rhaenyra could afford unconditional love so easily.

rhaenyra and alicent were both very different mothers with very different childhoods and i think we should appreciate their differences and the dynamics with their children rather than drag the other down. both have their flaws in their parenting and decisions but both have their triumphs and it is obvious that they both love their children deeply.

arguing with Indian Maoists on whether Capitalism is the determinant tendency in the mode of production just becomes mentally draining after a while bc it's gotten to a point now where they're just denying material reality.

From a National Survey 13 fucking years ago one-third of the total farmering population own less than 0.4 hectares of land. Only one-sixth of their income, i.e., 16 per cent, came from farming and the rest of it came from wage labour. The other one-third of the total farmers has land holdings between 0.4 hectares to 1 hectare. Farming constituted 40% of their total income and the rest 60% primarily came from wage labour. Taking in account these two sections together, they composed more than 70 per cent of the farming population. By 2016, Ten years ago now, this rose to 85%. By 2018, 8 years ago, the manufacturing and services industry accounted for 60% of employment. And I could keep going on and on

Feudal peasants in any meaningful definition of the term do not account for the majority of the population any more, certainly haven't for the last couple decades. The vast majority of the population are Proletarian.

How the fuck they still act like it's the 1960s and just either deny or ignore this and have been doing so for well over a decade now? I have no idea

i guess my only gripe is how fans are going to dismiss baela, a black character, and jace's love and care for her, in order to prop up a white character (sara snow) for a ship that's not even canon in the books. like it really bothers me how baela is already being treated and the comments are being made about her bc of the sara snow character and how that supposedly supports jonsa.

seeing white people portray house stark as indigenous while profiting off of living on indigenous land and our genocide will never sit right with me. using racial aesthetics and stereotypes to portray a fictional white family and not doing shit to help us, it’s gross to me that we’re used like this.

so frustrating how rhaenyra and aemond have been stripped of their agency and the fierceness of their personalities toned done in order to present both sides as 'sympathetic' and just all misunderstandings. we were robbed of rhaenyra's grief and ferocity after visenya's death and her throne being usurped. we were robbed of aemond becoming a villain and taking vengeance into his own hands and displaying the callous and cruel character he was. two highly fascinating characters wasted to bad writing.
