i will never forgive monty python for turning the centuries long brutal persecution and expulsion of jews and muslims by the roman catholics into a joke people reference constantly, gleefully unaware of what the spanish inquisition really was

Seriously though, what is it with you guys and your costume ideas?
I mean not that I mind, but the blog’s budget is going away super fast on just fabric alone. Do you have any idea how long it took to commission this costume? It was about three hours! It’s so outrageous!
I kinda like the hat, tho. I could use it for a Carmen Sandiego outfit.

I hate how tumblr praises Mao Zedong without ever critically thinking about his impact- or even flat out denying the awful things that happened under him
People like to bring up that his policies helped alleviate nationwide famine- which was caused by Mao in the first place. During the Great Leap Forward when peasants were forced to work and then had all the grain they produced taken because it was now government property(similar to a US supreme court decision btw). Local officials who ran the communes (police) would beat peasants and force them to work injured. The food produced by chinese villagers wasn't equally distributed, it sold as surplus (that didn't exist). This doesn't even go into how Mao decided to divest labor into steel production instead of agriculture
Then we come to what people now know Mao for, the Cultural Revolution. Under the idea of destroying anything 'old', people and their belongings and culture were tortured and killed. Again, I don't mean just the wealthy. A common target was ethnic minorities, as the Cultural Revolution was about assimilation
There is a reason that what is probably the most famous incident of violence took place in Guangxi, which is near Vietnam. Mao's officers seized control and in response to the local's 'resistance' committed a several years long massacre. The CCP endorsed ritualistic cannibalism in the area. In an region that was populated by an ethnic minority (Zhuang ppl, instead of Han) the officers did what they believed was necessary for a communist future- which in my opinion was thinly veiled genocide.
Like Stalin, Mao got rid of anyone who was against him by calling them bourgeoisie- which included peasants.
Don't get me wrong, Mao had more sympathy and compassion than any US president I have seen. He was a friend to Vietnam and Palestine as western countries invaded them. Getting rid of landlords was a massive win. He stood by MLK jr. and black americans during the civil rights era. He worked to give women the opportunities they had been denied. He banned child-marriage.
But he was a cult of personality and his leadership got hundreds of thousands of people killed.

Questions for Philip Pullman 2
In the parallel world of His Dark Materials, science of a sort has flourished in spite of the religious authorities. What about the arts? Would Shakespeare of a sort be read in Lyra’s Oxford? Rowan Williams, former archbishop of Canterbury Would the arts be crushed or allowed to develop? I dare say the authorities in Lyra’s world might well try to suppress the arts. But that’s an interesting story, which I haven’t written. Maybe I will.
How much of your imagining of the Magisterium was shaped by real world events that were unfolding as you wrote? Katherine Rundell, children’s and YA author Very much. I suppose if I’d been writing it 50 or so years ago, I would have had to look back in history for parallels, such as the Spanish Inquisition. But in recent times we’ve had so many new examples in all parts of the world of religious power being used ruthlessly and mercilessly for political ends, and that’s what I find very dangerous.
If you could lead a revolution in someone else’s world, which world would it be? Frances Hardinge, children’s and YA author Ha! What an interesting question. I think I’d lead a revolution in the Narnia story, and I’d put Susan at the head, because she was the one who was turned away at the end because she was growing up and she was interested in boys. Yes, let Susan lead the revolution of the rejected in Narnia.
