THISSSSSSS IS PERFECT

[lesamis]

If you're up for it could you explain what is making the Germany government stuff so funny? I can find news articles about it (a coalition is dissolving? There's been tension for a while?) but they're all fairly serious. Thx!

ohhh, sure thing! i'll do my best!

i'll say upfront: this is a pretty serious thing to happen. our chancellor fired our minister of finance, Lindner, which definitively breaks up the governing coalition. germany will likely have snap elections at a moment in which far-right parties are polling extremely well. if news coverage about it seems like people are Worried, that's because, well, they are.

however. the reason it's funny is because our minister of finance was fired. ministers aren't really... ever fired. like, it's not a done thing. i'll fully admit i didn't even know it was an option until yesterday. and our minister of finance wasn't just anyone, he was one of the most mocked and hated figures in politics to germans who vote anywhere left of center.

the coalition that governed until yesterday was made up of the green party, the social democrats, and the neoliberal party (FDP). the FDP is infamous (and i mean, my parents already raised me to hate them for that) for playing kingmaker in coalition governments: they never get all that many votes, but they get just enough that whoever they agree to form a government with will probably succeed. they then tend to force extreme concessions from their coalition partners, because hey, if we walk off, you can't govern at all! so you better play along!

for the past three years, this behaviour has been extremely frustrating for germans who voted for greens or social democrats, because policy from their faction was constantly being blocked by the FDP and often by Lindner personally. the FDP received 11,5% of votes in 2021, but to many of us, it felt as if they were the only party who really had any say in the governing coalition. it made the green and social democratic coalition partners look spineless and passive.

and now, i invite you to imagine how on the day of the US election results, the day the whole world rolled their eyes at the sheer fucking stupidity and pointlessness of it all, at NINE IN THE EVENING, just as germans are getting ready to settle in to bed to dream of nightmare global politics -

the news suddenly breaks that our notoriously invisible chancellor just decided to fire Lindner for that exact behaviour. this chancellor comes out and says, on camera, to the entire sleepy nation, that acting the way Lindner did - blocking necessary policies, refusing to approve budgets unless his party's interests were met - was childish, selfish, irresponsible, and unfit for government, so, whoops, he had to go. shame. coalition over, i guess.

so, politically, that was a long-needed but never-expected moment of triumph for those of us who think the FDP is a clown show made up of human TESLA shares, and it came at a hysterically funny moment.

on a personal level, i can barely explain how uniquely hateable Lindner has always been. he's what would happen if a stock index graph came to life. he hates poor people with a relish; he mocks welfare recipients and would ax minimum wages in a second. he's everyone's business major roommate who shows up in boat shoes fresh off a yacht to discuss NFTs with you. throughout the entire time that he's used his rich boy policy blackmail strategy, he's been smug about it, and he was never taken to task for it, and millions of germans have been longing to throw rotten fruit in his face since 2017. and now we finally get to do it. via memes. on the day of trump's election win.

so that's why it's funny.

GIRL why the fuck is that addition getting so many notes? "Omg it's the Girls pink dresses fault for radicalizing boys, not entitlement or misogyny or anything" "it's the AESTHETIC thats the problem, wearing pink will leak heterocis gender conformity into your brain, all you have to do is not wear cute things or act girly or be feminine" WHAT??

I will say that I do agree that the "girldinner girlmath I'm Just A Girl!!!" stuff needs to stop. Even if it's only a joke. We shouldn't be implanting that into our subconscious minds, because it sticks there- and in the cultural imagination.

But.

Yeah, I agree with you that the addition of "coquette aesthetic" was very weird. Like...are boys who dress like Don Draper also a problem? Should we be concerned about the radicalizing effect of the lumberjack aesthetic, perhaps? If not, why is it an issue for girls and women to wear floaty pastel dresses or whatever?

I'm never going to say "let women be feminine!!!" because that's obviously a non-issue but I will say "let feminine women have the benefit of the doubt and stop assuming their politics based on their appearance." Because that's not very feminist at all.

We fought to have our rights and experiences of the world widened, not constricted to a different narrow definition of Correct Womanhood.

👋 Jason's -hair -turning - all -white -and -pinging-on magic -user's-radar -because -he's undead- Anon here, any other weird things he may have /develope, to make him remember that he's "other" now?

Things that he notices? He gets cold/a sudden chill when he walks over specific ley lines or hallowed ground. Just a brief little reminder that he’s not so far removed from these locations as he’d like to think.

Maybe when he first came back there was a ridge in his fingernails where you could see his death and the Pit represented by a sudden stop of healthy nail, then his nails started growing again but there was a ridge between the two phases.

He can tell you which direction the Pit he was resurrected in is without looking. Kind of like a distant strange pull in his chest.

I love the pit madness / green eyes trope but maybe it’s the kind of greenness that tinges his skin and stands out in his veins under his throat when he’s tired or angry or upset. Something you could easily miss if you weren’t looking closely.

how do you pick which asks to BLAST? it seems like you’d get swamped with a ridiculous amount of them, do they take forever to go through?

i wish i could say i have a system for going through asks, but the fact of the matter is that i get anywhere from 30-60 asks per day, and as a human with responsibilities it's just not feasible to get to all of them.

but, even if i don't BLAST all of them, i usually do *see* most of them, along with tags and comments you guys leave on posts. and, with that, i'd like to also thank you guys for the lovely words :) i'm glad you guys are having fun, and even though i'm absolutely swamped, i do still intend to focus on keeping things silly (and sharing fun facts, where i can) <3
