I'VE NEVER BEEN VERY SURE ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT, said Bill Door. I AM NOT SURE THERE IS SUCH A THING AS RIGHT. OR WRONG. JUST PLACES TO STAND.

"No, right's right and wrong's wrong," said Miss Flitworth. "I was brought up to tell the difference."

BY A CONTRABANDISTOR.

"A what?"

A MOVER OF CONTRABAND.

"There's nothing wrong with smuggling!"

I MERELY POINT OUT THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK OTHERWISE.

"They don't count!"

Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

What if the Devourer didn’t make Garmadon evil but instead messed with his frontal lobe?

In humans the frontal lobe is responsible for impulse control and the ability to tell right from wrong

While we know Garmadon isn’t human his biological make up is similar enough to reproduce with humans so we can safely make the assumption with this being about legos that he can have a frontal lobe

So let’s say the devourers venom doesn’t actually make you evil

But it’s instead neurotoxin

And thanks to Garmadon’s genes he was a able to survive it but it caused brain damage

He no longer had a good grasp on what was right and wrong and when he could tell it was hard to fight the impulse to do the wrong thing (especially because the things he did often had short term reward so it immediately reinforced bad habits)

As far as we are aware Garmadon is the only person to have been bitten/survived being bitten by the great devourer

So we don’t have any comparable data

The FSM went oh no my baby isn’t naturally evil this thing made him evil because the fsm doesn’t know anything about brains

He couldn’t understand that these were Garmadon’s thoughts and choices and while yes Garmadon wasn’t naturally evil, he wasn’t fully capable of trying to be good

And to his credit he did try once he had something/ or rather someone that he didn’t want affected by his decisions

This also explains why is the way he is in sons of Garmadon on

Lloyd was able to heal his brain when he casted out the devourer venom but when Harumi summoned him he had been actively dead, meaning that healed portion would’ve decayed and then some which is why he was so unhinged

Garmadon was never evil ha just had brain damage

It’s amazing how people went from “Let men wear dresses! Clothes don’t have a gender!” to “If a man wants to wear a dress, clearly a feminine article of clothing, then I know for a fact that man is actually a closeted transwoman.”

Can clothes help people better understand their thoughts on their gender identity? Yes. Should others merrily shove others into boxes based on conservative gender norms? Absolutely not.

Sometimes, a guy wants to wear colorful nail polish and pretty dresses. Sometimes, that person looks in the mirror and realizes that their choice in appearance clarifies some things regarding their gender, and sometimes, those choices in personal appearance are steps along a path. Hell, sometimes a transman wants to wear dresses and nail polish. It doesn’t mean that they’re lying about their gender identity: it just means he wants to wear pretty nail polish and a dress. It’s different for everyone.

Can we please stop going so “woke” that we circle right back to strict conservatism? A person’s choice of appearance should be based on their personal expression. It shouldn’t be used as a tool to shove people into carefully defined, rigid boxes.

#lgbtq #this is an offshoot of purity culture #and its need for rigid lines #and its strong insistence on #right and wrong #and its emphasis on #performative rather than genuine #let men wear dresses #both cis and trans men #let people identify themselves #yeesh

When they tell you in a kind, accepting, loving way you deserve to die for being Israeli, even though you never expressed any hatred for palestinians.

They: 👼😈🤬⚔️ you should kill yourself you zionist bitch.

Me: *A random jew in Israel, scared for my life by Hamas millitants*

Dude you don't even know me. BTW I don't know where you grow up but where I did you never say that even to your worst enemies.

“Edward Said's book ORIENTALISM has been profoundly influential in a diverse range of disciplines since its publication in 1978. In this engaging (and lavishly illustrated) interview he talks about the context within which the book was conceived, its main themes and how its original thesis relates to the contemporary understanding of "the Orient."

Said argues that the Western (especially American) understanding of the Middle East as a place full of villains and terrorists ruled by Islamic fundamentalism produces a deeply distorted image of the diversity and complexity of millions of Arab peoples.

Director: Sut Jhally, 1998.”

Parallels between Gale and Jet:

Around the same age.

Both live in the woods but not because they feel alive there but because that’s their only way to survive. As soon as the opportunity arises both choose to live in another city. For Gale that is district Two‘s military ground and for Jet Ba Sing Se.

Both choose revenge over peace and healing to the point it consumes their mind and they don’t see how citizens of the fire nation / the capitol are under indoctrination and threat as well.

Won’t grant forgiveness, even if those civilians flee to join the side of the rebels.

The moment Iroh and Zuko arrive at Ba Sing Se as refugees and the moment the prep team is released from the prison cells in 13, so they can go freely as refugees, both Jet and Gale treat them as less and deserving of punishment.

Casualties from the Nut in Two and the village near the dam are more than tolerable to them.

They don’t let their better side, represented by Katara and Katniss, in on their plans because they are more demanding than understanding. For Gale that would be the design of the second bomb, for Jet as seen above, when he lied to Aang and Katara about there being a forest fire.

Even their handling of the situation is similar as neither would go as far as pushing others to do as the see fit, yet won’t hold back from blaming them by being passive aggressive and guilt tripping.

This gets evident when we see how they react once a new and more peaceful way opens up. They still hold on, even regretting a missed opportunity:

They have enemies rather than a problem that needs to be fixed, which is a kind of perspective that endangers meaningful connections, so that they loose sight of what it is that they fight for.

The freedom fighters call Jet out until he decides to continue without them, basically turning his back on them and Katniss confronts Gale about the parachute bomb before releasing him.

They start thinking just like the enemy, looking for justifications of their actions. In fact, they adapt the mind of their enemy to reach the same greatness, to maximize the damage, subdue them, to equalize the damage. Because to them justice can only be repaid but never not redefined. An eye for an eye. A hug for an eye appears to mean to eschew to Gale and Jet. So much really, that the counter to control can’t be something less rigid, hence freedom will be of secondary importance.

From the hope leaks rancour.

Chasing an aim can sometimes disguise as escaping a threat that one fixates on, becomes obsessed with.

And sacrificing their sanity appears to them to be the most noble act.

Vengeance is their response but that merely perpetuates the cycle of violence.

I don’t like being wrong. Being wrong sucks. It’s a horrible feeling, no one likes it.

But do you know what I hate?

Being wrong and no one tells me

I hate being wrong sure, but that’s not because I love being correct. If I’m wrong I don’t want to keep being wrong, I don’t want to bend my wrongness into being right. I want to be correct. That’s, like, 90% of my motivation, knowing things and being correct. If I’m incorrect that’s fundamentally a bad thing.

And I implore you to correct me. Don’t be scared to correct me, to say you disagree, to tell me you think I’m wrong. Even if you’re not sure. It’s better to tell me I’m wrong, I evaluate my stance, and then go “actually I don’t think I am” than you go “oh it’s fine” and I continue being wrong without knowing. If we both think the other person’s wrong, maybe we can even have a debate, I love debates, and at the end maybe one person who was wrong will now be right.

Obviously it’s not always black and white like this, especially with opinions, but if you think I have a bad opinion, still tell me! Maybe you can even change my mind!

I hate being wrong but there’s nothing worse than being wrong unknowingly.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
