#far-right agenda

That's What She Said

MTG was interviewed on Fox News by Larry Kudlow. She explained why she was pleased that Tom Emmer had dropped out of the race for Speaker:

"His voting record, he voted against President Trump's transgender ban in the military. He voted for the Democrats’ gay marriage bill that allows churches to be sued if they don't support gay marriages. He also, you know, once had supported the voting rights, the national voting movement that was completely against what we stand for [sic] so that we can't have that for a speaker of the House." (x)

And there you have it--voting rights are anathema to the right-wing Republicans in the House.

“jaime did it mostly for self preservation” “he did it bc he was ordered to kill his father” are not only blatantly incorrect and borderline illiterate reads of what is in the text but idk why people find it unfathomable that someone like jaime would want to prevent thousands of people from violently burning alive. like it is not actually a difficult moral equation which is why it is at the center of jaime’s arc and his relationship to his society because he realizes that the ethical constructs of westeros seem to be in opposition to this very obvious moral choice as seen by how the situation could even escalate to the point that it does through the enablement of the tyrant by the respected institution of the kingsguard and the uncritical upholding of the honor system over an actual coherent moral code. same with the scorn he receives for killing what everybody acknowledges as an objectively horrid tyrant who harmed innocents and violated law that knights are also sworn to protect and uphold and actually contradict by not acting against.

#like u guys r so blinded by agenda posting that it gets mind numbing #seeing ppl that otherwise r not illiterate repeat these points actually kills me #i should be studying but here i am pissing and crying again #and the whole ‘oh he only did it when it was convenient’ that is not the point the point is that he kept upholding what the kg represented #until he was pushed far enough to break and throw it all away #we see that he keeps challenging it and keeps being shut down until it reaches a breaking point #it isnt framed as ‘oh jaime now knows that he can do this bc tywins here haha’ #its just he finally reaches the obvious breaking point #bc someone out there has to stop a nuke #and it all becomes clear #jaime doesnt have to be the paragon of virtue to do this but yes he has the awareness and the moral code to do the right thing #how contrarian brained do u have to be to take this away

At this point, the MAGA Republicans have an agenda on education. It's focused on defunding and destroying higher education (since the college educated don't vote MAGA Republican, they are in a sense the focal enemy) and destroying confidence in and defunding primary and secondary education. All funding from primary and secondary education would then be shifted to institutions which in fact engage in political indoctrination to support MAGA Republican through, these are Catholic schools and white Evangelical schools. Hillsdale College in Michigan, a fundamentalist church-affiliated academy for production of the Stepford Wives or the Republic of Gilead, provides the model for the small quantum of higher education that can be tolerated.

I’ve been having the terrible thought that the texts I get from political groups are kind of like a hydra. Every time I text Stop to unsubscribe, I get subscribed to three more (because they now know it’s a valid phone number and someone IS on the other end)

#it doesn’t help that every time I unsubscribe it’s like #‘ok we’ll stop sending you texts from Save Democracy 2024/Stop the Far Right Agenda/etc’ #sarah’s assorted thoughts

Thank you for what you said on that post about Usopp and Zoro’s post-water 7 relationship; I hate when Usopp’s actions in water 7 are treated like he was just being a brat. While I agree an apology was necessary, personally I think the way Zoro went about obtaining it would cause more problems in the long run if the narrative didn’t back him up. Giving your friend the cold shoulder and demonstrating that you’re fully willing to leave him without even trying to talk things out? That whole sequence left a very bad taste in my mouth. Sorry for going off in your inbox but tldr I appreciate what you said

ok ok listen, i get what you mean, ive been there as well, i too thought in the past what zoro did was wrong and unfair, and i still partially think so, but what really cured this conflict for me was that zoro said all that, thinking he's so damn rational and mature about it all, saying if the first thing usopp says isn't an apology he won't accept him back, and then usopp comes and ofc the first thing he says isn't an apology bc it's usopp, usopp who's always a little slow, usopp who always needs that extra shove to be honest, and while we probably all agree that this is a highly emotional distressing situation for an insecure guy that could have been avoided, zoro too is under a lot of stress, torn between staying true to his words or staying true to himself and the crew, the whole crew including usopp, and he too decides to not hear what usopp says, just like luffy, bc no matter how much zoro values loyalty and discipline, he breaks his own vows here for others, for usopp, bc he ofc wants usopp back on the crew as well, he said so himself that having usopp back is the best possible outcome for them (and as i like to argue, it's the only outcome for them as a crew in a long run), and they are all so young, "playing pirates" including zoro, bc they're not pirates first no matter what any of them says, they are nakama and nakama don't leave one behind

also can you imagine the dwelling anger zoro had to face from the others? nami and chopper are obvious bc they both think that this whole thing is stupid from the beginning and they are already very emotional about this, it probably feels weird to zoro that sanji is agreeing with him which kinda makes zoro wrong by default (what's up with sanji is an entirely different story but that's for another day), robin doesn't have the full picture while franky has a very one-sided picture that nearly none of the others seem to be aware of, and luffy... well luffy tries to be a good captain since being a bad captain had led to this situation in the first place, so he tries to be nonchalant about this, and im pretty sure he is to some extent, truly believing that if usopp doesn't want to return to them, he can accept that, all while stressing over so much on the tje inside bc the way he breaks once usopp apologizes speaks for itself imo

i also kinda think zoro is actively trying to be the bad guy here, but that's also for another day lol

#if w7 was easy nobody would be misinterpreting it lol #w7 feels #im also still dwelling on sanji's agenda bc it feels kinda like a u turn to agree with zoro after everything he'd done for usopp this arc #and so far the only thing i can come up with is that he thought they had enough time #and spreading more conflict within the crew was really not needed right then #but if y'all have different thoughts pls share!!! #asks

side note about last days: i say it’s detective noir-inspired in the tags. to elaborate, it’s not detective noir—it’s an urban fantasy thriller and for one thing it’s not nearly bleak enough to truly be noir fiction lol. but it is inspired by a lot of the noir tropes i know. it has vibes. class is a thing here. corrupt institutions leave our heroes with few places to turn. our heroes are willing to do some not-so-morally-upright things for their ultimate goals. it’s set in a dirty city filled with dirty secrets. but largely, i think, i’ve taken from my favorite piece of noir writing advice i’ve ever seen: “you need a dame with a past and a man with no future”. pearl is probably the single most detective-noir inspired character here; she’s not a femme fatale, sure, but a dame with a past…?

anyway make of this whatever you will fic’s not done yet and as i said it’s merely inspired by noir i wouldn’t even begin to claim that’s the genre it’s actually in. like I said. urban fantasy thriller/detective story thats a bit too bright and fun for that, and with protagonists who are probably way too likable and have a bit too much hope to be noir protagonists, lol. just wanted to elaborate a little bit about that one tag,

#anyway like. it’s not spoilers to say pearl has some kind of past/agenda #it is blatantly obvious from her first appearance right. i sure hope it is #if ONLY because come on guys. you know your detective tropes. a mysterious beautiful rich woman hires our detectives and what do you EXPECT #anyway hope y’all are liking it so far #this is one of the pearls of all time I think I LOVE last days pearl and I hope you like her too

wip wednesday :] working on redoing an old lineup i did, but this time featuring all the characters i initially ran out of room to include bc i did it in my sketchbook LOL

[cats-in-the-clouds]

i keep getting stuck being forced to take classes i despise and that have no relevance to me so i’m going to go all malicious compliance on every single assignment and subtly insult the class material and/or professor

#i’ve taken other sociology classes here that didn’t completely suck because they were about economic equality and such #but now i’m stuck in the intro 101 class as an upperclassman who’s taken higher courses and also doesn’t care? #why. #not to sound like a 70 year old far right man but. this is just a forcefeeding of the liberal agenda #if the (male) professor calls us ‘those who might identify as female’ one more time i’m going to bite him #magic how he doesn’t say that about the men… #’how did your culture shape you’ first of all it didn’t actually. not very much. and if it did i don’t care #you wouldn’t believe it but being raised catholic made me hate the faith. my own discovery and actions made me love it #what you see is ‘raised catholic and is currently catholic’. what you don’t see is the anguish in between. that was all me not society #i am quite conscious of the circumstances of my life i don’t need to be enlightened i’ve been reflecting on this myself for 6 years now #’humans are not born with any instincts!’ yes yes the nurture vs nature debate that sounds like your personal opinion of it that’s not fact #i’ve heard all this ten thousand times in every class even non-soc classes #i understand the material. i just don’t agree with it and never will. deal

WAIT. fuck. i was idly looking at the weapon ascension materials descriptions and remembered how convinced i am of vennessa kaeya parallel narratives

#x #it’s a shame we know NOTHING about natlan so far i wish we did so bad. god. god #i think a lot about how venessa is established as having been from natlan (or the equivalent of it back in her time ig) n her she was always #thinking of her tribespeople / how to free them n keep them safe. but after she is freed n becomes this huge symbol for mondstadt the #narrative just seems to go quiet about what she ended up doing at all wrt them in the end? like… she presumably freed them right. n then #what you know? send them back on their merry way? #anyways here it is here’s how responsibility to ur people can be portrayed as something virtuous and worth abiding by/fighting for. wild huh #also ‘divine flame’ reference to natlan ofc BUT ALSO !!! REMEMBER HOW KAEYAS DAD WORDS ALBERICHS CLAN SHOULD LIVE??? #they should burn bright like flames not like embers or whatever. ITS THEREEEEEEE BABEYYYYY #ITS THERE AND ITS REAL N I BELIEVE IN IT #more fuel for my latino kaeya agenda hehehehehe #gi posting

[strwberieswsugar]

what if baji is actually shinichiro’s trigger and not sanzu?? the desire to save mikey, baji always being present for the accidents, the hallucination when he starts seeing shin instead of takemichi when he’s dying.. this could also be how shinichiro is still alive/trapped in another time line?? because baji was there so if he were the trigger and he shook his hand when he was about to die it could’ve worked like how it did for takemichi and naoto????

#yes I have another theory but listen!! I am pushing my everyone gets a happy ending agenda I know😭 #but if shin has been trapped so far bc he can’t change the outcome that can be how takemichi can remain the main hero and maybe he will go #back further to help shin ‘unlock’ the time line he’s in???? idkkk I think a lot about how takemichi said he’s going to save everyone even #the ones who have already died bc ‘if I can time leap anything is possible I’ll figure it out’ and I believe him!!!! #he just needs to find a trigger for where shin is right like maybe wakasa/sanzu/takeomi SOMEONE will do😭 #tokyo revengers #tr #spoilers #sano shinichiro #baji keisuke #tokyo revengers spoilers

[forgondor]

not a clue why this particular one is sticking so much but since i watched glass onion I CANNOT get Whiskey saying “I love my boobs. Oops! Sorry feminists!” out of my fucking brain

#maybe because it's so fucking stupid. Like what the fuck does it even mean #but like soooooo fucking on point for the character like yeah he would fucking have her say that #i have a lot of sympathy for whiskey for some reason but she's actually such a detestable character. Holy shit #she really went 'mmh let me encourage the far right agenda aka literally endanger millions of black lives just to further my career' #'oh i dont believe in it for sure. Idc about consequences tho' #like bitch. #glass onion

[illputdownmyrootswhenimdead]

love it when i look at anti trans/terf/otherwise transphobic posts that are “receipts” of trans people being harmful/stupid/“crazy” and it’s just. trans people being confident. or making jokes. or having confusing relationships with gender or sexuality. or literally just talking about themselves. it’s very funny and depressing

#i saw a terf blog saying that a positivity post about nonbinary people was proof that the trans agenda is going TOO FAR #and it was literally just like. a post saying hey not all lesbians and gays are cis and that’s cool #definitely insane mental illness behavior (sarcasm) #dove talks #or like i saw something where they were talking about trans identities being a phase and how we shouldn’t encourage letting people have #‘phases’ like that because ‘phases don’t involve giving kids permanent surgeries or life altering hormones’ #and it’s like. neither does kids having a quote unquote trans phase……??? #sorry you bought into the right wing transphobic lie that were giving 10 year old trans kids SRS and all that but were………. not??? #the only transition that a young trans kid gets is social stuff and like. a haircut maybe. new clothes. #the only kids getting those procedures done is kids who are intersex being forced into them but ive seen terfs be DISGUSTINGLY approving of #that practice sooooo #like trans kids are not being descended on by doctors and other adults who pump them full of hormones #and believing that is just proof that you’re not gender critical you’re just stupid #anyway i slept all day and got recommended a terrible post and went down a rabbit hole. horrid

[softpastelqueer]

Honestly, with the “queer can’t be reclaimed because it’s too bad of a slur” discourse conveniently happening right before any time there’s a rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation and hate crimes, I’m almost at the point of wanting to just reclaim and put f-g on everything and everywhere to make a point

I’m tired of the huge waves of respectability politics and sanitized purity culture suspiciously happening every single time the entire community is under attack or at risk more so than usual

Y’all gotta know when people are trying to sell y’all an obviously conservative created distraction from the actively violent and harmful reality they’re trying to recreate, maintain, or reenforce.

#yeah yeah a lot of this discourse is to make being lgbtqia more marketable to the masses #but MOST of it is obviously far right agendas set out to erase and destroy the entire community piece by piece

[bravebattalion]

T*RFs truly just have no concept of like. Any logic. At all….

#I was VERY NICELY arguing with one on Instagram #like I was so kind but that’s not the point #THE POINT IS I mentioned that cisgender is a descriptor just like American/white/Christian (all of which apply to me) #and she said ‘of course a conservative would support the trans agenda and gender ideology’ #like are you high???? first of all I never said I was conservative… just a Christian #second!!! of all!!! what are you inhaling that you think conservative Christians are trying to push for trans rights #anyways all that is to say that sometimes you think you can have a civil normal argument with these people #but in actuality they’re so far up their own asses they’ve invented some sort of alternate reality to live in #I want to live in their universe where Christian conservatives are the biggest proponent of trans rights

[musicrunsthroughmysoul]

I got to talk briefly about the history of punk (music) today in an English as a Second Language class (TOTALLY UNPLANNED; the teacher just invited me to talk about what kind of music I like since I mentioned it to a couple of students I participated in a communication exercise with, and then a student asked "What's punk?" so I got to explain) and man, oh man, I was trying not to vibrate five feet off the ground with how happy it made me to talk about punk! And the teacher was going to let me choose a punk song to show the kids at the end of class but unfortunately she forgot. (I was trying to wrack my brain with what songs might be appropriate to show them, anyway, and since I talked about the history of punk mostly, I wanted to show them - particularly a class full of mostly Indigenous and/Mexican students - "Survive" by The Bags because obviously if I'm gonna represent punk in any manner, Alice Bag and The Bags is my top priority! :') Though I considered "We Don't Need the English" but then I thought that might set a bad example in an ESL class, lmaoooooo BUT I WAS STILL TEMPTED).

#crystal visions of lilies in the valley #you might call my agenda unrealistic but who the fuck else is going to be introduced to punk for the first time with Alice Bag/The Bags! #(the answer is: NO ONE IF I DON'T DO MY JOB RIGHT!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂) #I did get to talk to a Latina student last year specifically about Alice Bag though :') so like my track record so far isn't so bad actuall
