The mythology of "fighting for real" is based on the idea that there's some hidden, powerful resource that, if tapped, will immediately begin to win.

This resource exists, and it's organisational and personnel, not some other kind. But even there, it takes six months to a year for the changes to take effect. Considering the current war is being waged to keep everything as is, it won't be used.

tweets on the subject of Russia's reaction to Ukrainian attacks, but that's a really good point: so many attempts to win break down when winning requires change and people are fighting to avoid change.

Then the United States and Israel attacked Iran. The entire operation, but especially the behavior of Pete Hegseth, revealed a bizarre misunderstanding of global affairs. The United States Secretary of War started shouting that we were going to commit atrocities and crimes against humanity, and that is why we were going to win. This alarmed even the most ardent supporters of U.S. empire. The parallels with Bolsonaro are obvious. These guys thought there was a giant red button marked VIOLENCE being guarded by a couple of queer studies professors, and all you have to do is smash it to subjugate countries at will. As if no one had tried that before. As if the Islamic Republic had never contemplated an attack from Washington.

Many people are saying this(x)

it's wild because we've had literally hundreds of years of this! stabbed in the back, "fighting with one hand tied behind our back", unleash Chiang Kai-shek, the ever present belief that victory is a choice and not something that requires clear aims and organisational competence.

love the idea of the big red button guarded by a couple of queer studies professors though, are they dating? does one always lie and one tell the truth? do they ever press the button themselves, while making out? are they into buttonplay??

It's actually imperative that you are open and proud of your attraction to fat people and bodies

and honestly it's just fucking insane that every time we try to talk about harm to children in particular we have to talk circles around the fact that these things are very, very overwhelmingly done by parents/family members/teachers/religious leaders/known and trusted adults in a position of power over a child, to the extent that many people's suggested solution to child abuse is "give the people most likely to abuse a child EVEN MORE strangling legal and material power over the kid"

[sapphling]

you're not supposed to actually address who is abusing children and what can be done to give those children recourse and the ability to leave abusive situations because nobody actually gives a shit about child abuse beyond the familial property rights violation it represents to them and the cudgel against minorities which it can be turned into

It's a moral imperative that we write more sex scenes which are

Weird

Uncomfortable

Not good for anyone involved

remember in p.e. when they'd take a bunch of insecure teenagers & be like "today we're going to play basketball" and then not teach you how to play basketball. and then put you in a group with guys who were obsessed with basketball and would get mad at you for not knowing how to play basketball. why did they do that
