Jade: Truth or dare?
Kit: Truth.
Jade: How many hours have you slept this week?
Kit: Dare.
Jade: Kit, you have to sleep.
Kit: Uggghh, I hate this game.
ok looks like we're gonna be doing the same thing, different verse, now that it's Kamala Harris on the Dem ticket instead of Joe Biden.
friendly reminder that one of these 2 people is getting elected. there's not a magical 3rd party person who's mystical and perfectly progressive who is gonna come out of the woodwork and save us. not voting or voting 3rd party isn't a "protest," it's capitulation. so let's do a comparison:
I forgot to add to this that Trump also stated he will deport any non-citizen who protests the war in Gaza.
In case you don't believe me re: the last Trump point.
Jade: I left everyone instructions while I'm gone. Kit: Mine just says "Kit, no." Jade: I want you to apply that to any situation. Boorman: "Boorman, don't"? W—? Jade: Yes, you too. Elora: Why does mine say "Stop them"? Jade: You're the only one who can.
Just had to remind myself once again that tanthamore is really canon and I'm not just making them up
i desperately need people to understand how fascism started because i am seeing many on the left gleefully walk assbackwards into goosestepping.
fascism did not start out as a far right ideology even though that is the endpoint. in order to gain power, there was a deliberate false synthesis of left and right populist ideals in order to gain a wide base from people upset with the political status quo. this is why the nazis were called national socialists. because they stole rhetoric and language from socialist movements and twisted them to their own ends.
this is why average people supported the nazis. not because they were stupid or incredibly bigoted but because the nazi party promised we will provide just as soon as we deal with the Bad People. however once nazi control was assured, the entire left wing of the party were purged. Gregor Strasser who was the leader of the left wing was assassinated in the night of the long knives.
his whole political ideology was nazism but anti capitalist. pro trade union, anti banker, pro wealth redistrubution, pro socialised housing and medicine. all of which ended in them being slughtered when they were no longer necessary. these people existed and were the useful idiots that aided in hitler taking full power.
you need to pay attention to who is saying what and why. easy answers, scapegoating, portraying whoever the outgroup of the moment as being behind every ill in the world, surface level anticapitalism and anticolonialism, reactionary leanings in problem solving. anything to get you to point at a group and declare them they enemy.
this is why you need to learn history, pay attention to the sources you get your information from and what narrative they are trying to weave out of the situation.

“SHE NEEDS MOUTH TO MOUTH” yall ever think about how. the reason her first thought was that. was probably because. she must’ve been thinking about. kissing. maddox. like. recently? as it’s. fresh in her mind still?
Do you ever go crazy thinking about how we got sword lesbians sparring practice, gay pining eyes, “for Kit and only Kit” will I wear the hated dress, gay romantic probably-shouldn’t-be-allowed-bc-fiancé-is-literally-in-the-room-with-them dancing in a crowd of scandalised aristos, blatant “we can still train and ride and” totally have an affair, stolen first kiss in the middle of the night as princess makes her bid for freedom interrupted by attack, in which knight protects her princess, fighting back to back, and the iconic “where the princess goes I go” all before we were even halfway through episode one?
