Really the kicker about discussing colonialism intrinsic to certain fictional tropes/archetypes/genres/what-have-you is that white bitches et al get SO mad about it. "Ohh so I'm not allowed to play farming sims? Wearing a silly hat makes me a fascist now?" I was just exercising critical thought but yknow what? Just for you? Yeah it does

“male loneliness epidemic” and “friendzoning” are similar concepts to me in that the conditions they describe are literally experienced by everyone at some point in their lives but when its men its some sort of profound injustice that needs to be rectified by checks notes giving them unfettered access to the public good that is Women

One thing that I think not enough people broadly opposed to US foreign policy reckon with is that I don't think US foreign policy is, like, the product of the vast and impersonal forces of capital being brought to bear to further their own interests, in defiance of what the American people want. I think that in fact very many Americans like having a powerful military, they like knowing their country can and will bomb the shit out of anybody it feels like, and if the military-industrial complex disappeared tomorrow, they would demand it be rebuilt because they think it is, in some fundamental sense, good for America. For years the Republicans hammered the Democrats as having a "soft" foreign policy, and it worked, with Democratic dovishness being a political liability throughout the 2000s, until Obama abandoned it. As we have known since the War of Jenkins' Ear, and long before, "my country can kick the snot out of your country" is an important issue for many voters!

It's just that voters 1) often don't care about the specifics (i.e., who is being bombed at any given time), and 2) they don't want it to cost them or people they know anything personally. So they don't want long engagements with high casualty counts--they're fine with bombing campaigns. You could overthrow capitalism in the United States tomorrow and I reckon American foreign policy wouldn't change much--I think you need to think about ways of addressing the broader culture of militarism if that's something you want to alter.

The Princess Bride is such a funny book to read after ONLY seeing the movie. Like Goldman made up a fake author from a fake country and proceeded to write the book as an abridged version of what the fake author wrote... and then he proceeds to add in notes to the "abridged version" mentioning all the boring world building stuff he skipped because it was boring.

Like shout out to William Goldman, man really did make an entire book that is just "the cool scenes you thought of in your head" and then made up a fake author to abridge so he doesn't have to connect them.

And it slaps
