there's just... there is no reason to make yet another cop show in this day and age. copaganda is not only bullshit, it is a failure of imagination.
you want to watch brooding characters with dark pasts investigate crimes in an official capacity? just use private detectives (cops have a miserable solve rate anyway). want eccentric geniuses & their sidekicks solving mysteries? i present you with armchair detectives & neighborhood busybodies. oh, you're craving a workplace comedy-drama starring overworked protagonists doing their heartfelt best to resolve community conflicts? social worker office sitcom! bitch this is ACHIEVABLE
#i lied the one reason to make a cop show is you want a mafia show and the cops are currently by far the most powerful u.s. mafia#BUT! i cannot emphasize enough: the police have none of the aesthetics or personality of the actual mafia so why even bother#The Sopranos but in an office setting with buzzing fluorescent lighting? and half your co-workers are weekend neo-nazis? come on#no. just no#from now on i want all tv cops to be villainous side characters#but BORING villainous side characters#i like villains as much as the next queer audience member but i cannot overstate the importance of portraying cops as not just bastards#but BORING bastards#they are so boring. they are boring and hateful and also neither particularly smart nor interesting#i need to emphasize: there is NOTHING to romanticize there#i am so passionate and supportive of anti-romanticizing cops. ANTI-ROMANTICIZE THE POLICE.#the police are BORING and HATEFUL and CRUEL and BASIC AS HELL#and we should be pointing that out publicly every chance we get#the police are BORING BASIC BITCHES and mocking them publically is a patriotic service

I’m sorry but you can’t cry “human rights violation!!!!” when you are actively carrying out a campaign of genocide.
#sorry but it doesn’t work like that!#you can’t decry humans rights violations of a group that doesn’t even represent a majority of innocent people (by the way)…#…if you are actively carrying out a genocide under the thinly veiled guise of going after that group#Genocide which is y’know one of the greatest violations of human rights since it seeks to completely eradicate one group of people.#like there are innocent people being caught in the crosshairs on both sides#not everyone living in Israel or who is Jewish supports the Israel government’s bombings of Gaza#not every Palestinian supports Hamas or condones their brutal attacks on innocent civilians#but to try and conflate the actions of a militant group to represent the thinking of all of the citizens and be an excuse to destroy them…#…isn’t right and deserves to be held accountable#also stop acting like there is not a massive power imbalance present#Israel has the Iron Dome and their own military forces and funding from the U.S.#Hamas has missels and stock piled resources from funding from Iran#Israel controls the food water fuel and medicine access to those that have been forced to live in Gaza#they are not in any way shape or form on equal footing which doesn’t make this a ‘war’#I can’t wrap my head around the fact that one of the groups persecuted in one of the most horrifying genocides is currently conducting…#…a genocide on another group of people#the rhetoric of gov’t officials from Israel dehumanizing innocent civilians points to the fact that this isn’t about retribution#but to conduct a genocide#if you don’t think that the current actions of the Israeli government aren’t wrong and are supporting it you can unfollow and block me!#like it’s not black and white but the actions that are currently happening are not acceptable

I try to stay out of major politics on my blog, but I keep seeing a lot of U.S citizens talking about their upcoming election as only two candidates and not wanting to vote for either. SO, to those people, may I present to you this:
The U.S. has more than 2 parties There are other people (and I’m talking more than just RFK), there are options—about 3 more: Cornel West——Chase Oliver——Jill Stein
Their respective parties are: Independent——Libertarian——Green Party
Voting beyond the Big Two (or three) is not wasting or throwing away your vote (contrary to standard opinion) Since it is a rough election, may I suggest voting your conscience rather than who you think will win—who knows how many others might to the same this election? That’s not a jab btw, I know quite a few who vote that way. This also isn’t a post saying these other candidates are better than the Big Two. This post is about letting people know their options and encouraging informed choice. I know more choices aren’t always helpful, but Do your own research and may the odds be ever in your favor. (sorry, the hunger games reference seemed applicable, but genuinely, Good Luck and maybe enjoy a few cathartic listen throughs of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by either Billy Joel or Fall Out Boys)

I know the sequel definitively showed the zombie apocalypse was a worldwide affair, but I always liked to imagine Zombieland was a strictly USA incident and the rest of the world just left us to deal with it ourselves.
It's like how I always imagined the Hunger Games undisclosed apocalypse to be a USA only thing, with the rest of the world staying the hell away from us as we throw our children into a death arena
#dumb stuff#horror movies#zombieland#i think that's why the forever purge is one of my favorite purge movies#i like the idea of the u.s losing its mind and the rest of the world uncomfortably side-eying away and ignoring us#honestly it's deserved. just leave us alone to devour ourselves. we owe at least that to the world

never seen mash but is it like copaganda but instead of cops its soldiers? I watch like monk and stuff so like thats pretty copaganda-y so like no judgement just wondering
well in a sense no but absolutely yes👍. the characters are all american doctors in a mobile hospital unit in the korean war; in a show that aired during the vietnam war. there's plenty of tongue in cheek and even (relatively) subversive anti-war sentiment but mostly along the lines of "war is bad because american soldiers are dying." boo-hoo...
#it's a good comedy that had a major impact on the tone of other shows that followed it#up into the present day.#most of the career military personnel are portrayed as either evil or stupid and despite being a comedy it takes the loss of life#on all sides pretty seriously#character focus is much more on the doctors and various other people who were drafted and Don't Want to be There so theyre more sympathetic#than ''real'' soldiers but end of the day we are living with people in the u.s. army#(whither they want to be apart of that institution or not)

you're supposed to be boycotting starbucks. or do you not care about Palestinians
do you follow me or do you just search for everyone who mentions starbucks and chastise them lol? girl, this is a pro-crusades blog. you do not want to know my opinions on the middle east lmao
#i have said literally nothing about the whole thing because (1) i do not know enough and both sides lie so i can't form a good opinion#(2) also it doesn't matter what i think#(3) every viewpoint ive seen on social media so far has been some degree of rancid and disagreeable to me#i think it is bad to kill civilians. i think it is bad to make justifications and excuses for killing civilians.#and the U.S. should have stopped giving Israel money like yesterday but that would be true regardless of all of this.#that's my official statement in case you need one like im a law and order da on the steps of a courthouse holding a press conference#there's one coffee shop in my town and i go incredibly infrequently. if i was going to boycott starbucks it would be because of all the gay#stuff anyway

clicked on one of my state's current trending tags on twitter out of curiosity and found a vein of people who are hostile to the idea of taking in refugees from gaza out of nothing but sheer xenophobia. human cruelty astounds me
#bolo speaks#for context this wasn't about the possibility of the u.s taking an official side in the war on palestine it was about#taking in *displaced civilians* and protecting them from massacre#I don't know how to explain to you that the palestinian family whose apartment complex was reduced to rubble is not part of hamas

I've been thinking about this scene again for reasons. And aside from the fact that Angel (yes, this is Angel for those who don't know) is obviously furious with Amy for telling him Buffy's died here (she hasn't). I wonder if Amy saying Buffy drowned makes it even worse, because that's how Buffy died the first time. And Angel doesn't even fathom that, or believe that he would lose her that way another time.
#buffy the vampire slayer#bangel#...i really largely don't want to be bringing s8 stuff to the table#yet here we are anyway. because i had to think about this scene for a certain reason and it is definitely kind of interesting#especially if you DO think amy saying buffy drowned may have made his reaction even worse. and i'm definitely feeling it might have#also for those who don't know: angel is play-acting the part of the super villain in s8#like the u.s. government and stuff knows about slayers and thinks they're a threat and wants them killed#so he decides to pretend that he also wants them dead. and is on their side. and has this great big plan to get rid of them so they throw i#their lot with him and don't work on anything serious that would really hurt them#like slayers DO die this way. but it probably would have been a lot worse the other way if no one was reigning in what the government coul#do/keeping an eye on them#the problem. though. is that somewhere along the line it seems to somewhat stop being an act: because power corrupts#that's part of the story of 'twilight' (that's the name of his alias) anyway

and ANOTHER THING. its so obvious when someone who claims to be a radical has never had any experience with poverty. they either 1) show very little understanding for class dynamics 2) are constantly looking for the correct group of poor people to hate (in the u.s. they mainly hate rural southerns or poor republicans) 3) talk about poor people like theyre all stupid or infants 4) never mention or really consider class. while saying they belong to ideologies based on class struggle. they just genuinely dont think about it.
#ive never met a rich/upper middle class person who claims to be a radical that does anything effective in their work.#i am thinking about a few people specifically who have called themselves anarchists. these are real life people not internet people#the worse is whenever they have cartoon ideas about what poor people act like and care about#they also never consider how racism/misogyny/other isms are literally just tools to make money and divide the working class#jim crow in the u.s. literally came about to divide the working class and to keep political power and money#its still being used to do that. race gangs in prison are actively encouraged by guards and wardens to prevent prison riots and uprisings#mayhaps understanding these things and why they happen are important to fighting them.#mayhaps the best ways for these ‘anti-capitalists’ to fight capitalism is through class.#mayhaps class isnt just a SIDE THING to mention every now and then but is a root of several other forms of oppression and is the#most effective way that people in power oppress and harm minorities.#mine
