I would be the worst spy of all time because on one hand I overshare like hell, but on the other hand I also have THE shittiest memory so it’s really a lose/lose scenario for everyone involved.

Child of Two Nations

Fatherland oh Fatherland you want to sculpt and mould me

Sculpt me mold me, paint and press me into conformity

Materials so pretty, made of murdered bodies

Make me love and want and own the lifestyle of finery

———

I’d rather die than have your selfish morals

I’d rather starve than eat when others can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

You don’t make me feel sorry with your rant

———

Motherland oh Motherland you bleed but still you guide me

You bleed and guide, you weep inside, and you always worry

Your loss, grief, and poverty. Your lies and honesty.

No matter what rulers say I give you my loyalty

———

I’d rather die than go against your morals

I will not eat because your people can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

I’ll follow you no matter how they rant

———

Fatherland hits Motherland

He shouts and screams and rages

Economy fuelled by blood

Her people must earn wages

Fatherland hits Motherland

He thinks he is a good man

Her stitched mouth and soul that floods

I must do all that I can

———

I’d rather die than have Fatherland’s morals

I will not eat because Motherland can’t

Humanity is for love universal

I heed her silenced I don’t heed his rant

In other news I've started MASH and my favorite thing so far is that everyone talks about Radar like he's just a sweet and naive kid but in practice he's an undetected little imp who's nearly puppeting Henry into doing whatever he wants and pulls just as much nonsense as Hawkeye and Trapper do but catches none of the heat for it. They've hardly ever shown them talking him into their schemes, he's just already a given participant in them every single episode and it cuts to the next scene of him with the forged paperwork he's tricking Henry into signing. That episode where they're pretending Radar is seriously sick to get Henry to transfer back and when the jig is up Henry is berating Hawkeye and Trapper and then says angrily "And you made Radar fake an illness?" Radar was not made to do anything he was perfectly ready to give his award-winning performance all on his own. There's another whole episode where Radar is just in the background openly robbing the place and dismantling a jeep piece by piece to mail home to himself. It's incredible.

And this is how I try to communicate some of these ideas to the people I come from:

When talking to conservatives, it helps to rope them in with a bash on liberals that can be then pivoted towards what you want to address. And bashing Liberals is not hard. But I think it is important for it to be a meaningful thing and not gotcha right-wing media bullshit. Liberals are progressives who like the status quo and I don't mind bashing them for that a bit. I hate the status quo because it hurts the most oppressed and hurting and poor people and Liberals need to get their comfort afflicted too.

I think detaching disgust from morality is one of the keys to Chilling Out. You can find inner peace by being able to go "hm! Gross" and recognize if it's an actual problem or not. Cause if it's not an actual problem... it's not your problem 🙏 god bless

the portland state university president has promised to pause taking money from boeing before protests have even begun. do not accept the narrative that students aren't achieving anything or that the demands are stupid, small, inactionable: the demands are just, thought-out, precedented, and they will be achieved. i hope everyone who thinks otherwise corrects their judgment.

This is what people who are used to LGBTQ+ and sex being normal. Homophobia, despite its name, is rooted not in fear, but in disgust.

And that is why homophobia is so hard to change people on. We've been propagandized since babies and that disgust is so deeply ingrained it's impossible to get rid of. Or at least it doesn't go away anytime soon.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to see my homosexual friends show affection without that disgust blazing through my brain. It feels rooted in my soul. And that is a source of sorrow and shame.

Shame is the other issue.

There's the shame of feeling bad feelings towards people we know we ought not. And that is strong pressure to hold onto things like fundamentalist interpretations of certain scripture pages or calling things "unnatural" and making quasi scientific arguments. And to escape by getting rid of the people who reveal our shameful feelings.

And there is the shame and disgust and fear (ok, some fear in homophobia) of our own sexual feelings and the need to escape them by getting rid of the people who elicit those sexual feelings.

And there's the disgust, fear, and shame that a guy might come onto you and your disgust mixed with fear of any sexual feelings that might come with that. And so we get defensive, violent, mean, exclusionary, derisive, etc. to "protect" ourselves from it all. And we try to escape by getting rid of the people who elicit those feelings.

All of this is incredibly harmful to ourselves. But it is far, far more harmful to our queer neighbors, friends, and family (obviously). Which is a whole other source of shame and wanting to get rid of the people rather than addressing and learning to live with our internalized bullshit while we keep working through it all.

I think detaching disgust from morality is one of the keys to Chilling Out. You can find inner peace by being able to go "hm! Gross" and recognize if it's an actual problem or not. Cause if it's not an actual problem... it's not your problem 🙏 god bless

We make our own destiny. We make the road by walking it.
