Robb Stark, our hero the archetypical high school quarterback king in the north king arthur figure starts a game of thrones loving and caring for his family and crying with his baby brother alone in the dark because he doesn’t know what to do and he just wants his mother to come back home. And he ends a storm of swords as a king saying his sisters aren’t worth trading for and the last thing he ever does to his mother is try to imprison her and send her to a keep far away under guard so he doesn’t have to see her and because she tried to bring some of their family home. Crowning Robb at the end of A Game of Thrones genuinely did kill him it killed the boy and replaced him with a king and to be a king robb has to exert patriarchy over his loved ones. tfw you are just an absolutely soul crushing heartbreaking thorough indictment of the society you live in.

also I’ve already seen several leftist men openly mocking women who are scared about what the next 4 years could look like by saying “women in the usa are the most privileged group of women to ever exist, there are women in other countries who have it so much worse”

while it is absolutely true that women in many other countries are living in conditions many of us can’t even imagine it is still worth noting that even in one of the wealthiest countries with the highest standard of living still has so many women dying during childbirth (especially black women), 11 year old girls being forced to give birth, femicide is still very prevalent and a known rapist can become president.

people living in poverty in the usa have it a lot better than people living in poverty in Sudan or Syria or Gaza. that is undeniable. but you’re not going to see leftist men tell an impoverished man who can’t afford insulin that he should just stop worrying about it because at least he’s not living in an active war zone

Everyone is exhaustive. Even the best ones. But sometimes, once in a blue goddamned moon, I guess, someone, like this moonflower, just might be worth the effort.

"how are the democrats so good at losing?" why don't you ask how the republicans are so good at winning?? stop acting like democrats are the only political party with agency. republicans do things on purpose.

okay. listen. I try not to be pedantic about this sort of thing but it’s starting to get on my nerves. the wire mother offers milk but not comfort. the cloth mother offers comfort but not milk. if something is comforting, fun, or otherwise compelling, but lacks substance, that is the cloth mother. if something is boring or unpleasant but has substance, that is the wire mother.

we lost the culture war so bad after 1865... we should live in an america where every single citizen looks back with patriotic fervor at how bad the union kicked the confederacy's ass. that should be universally regarded as a triumph of the capital U capital S capital A U-S-A. everyone regardless of geography should feel themselves living in the legacy of the union. the fact that confederate generals went down in anyone's history as anything but a bunch of delusional war-losing loser traitor weenies who dragged their states into a bloodbath and couldn't even keep their own men from deserting in droves is perhaps our greatest historiographical sin and one i truly with all my heart believe we are paying for as americans to this day.
