the american school system has failed me

sure wish governments gave actual time to let the general public actively respond to a potential law change…. Like idk.. instead of it just being in the news, actively redirect people to the government website about it so that meaningful and constructive conversations can be had so that the laws aren’t broken upon release, or even yet scrapped entirely if they get overwhelmingly negative feedback.

Seeing all the discussions between USAmericans lately about the presidential election is so frustrating because like. y'all know you're going to have a president even if you don't vote for one, right?

It just feels like such a self-indulgent approach to morality because the only thing not voting does is coddle the feelings of the person refusing to vote bc they can be like 'well at least it's not MY fault'

Like the trolley problem isn't really about whether more or less death is better - less death is self-evidently better. That part is taken for granted. It's about your personal willingness to take an active role in the situation - to feel responsible for the outcome.

But the USA will have a president after the election and I haven't actually seen anyone arguing that trump would be the better choice, just that harris is also evil and voting for either candidate makes you morally repugnant. But listen. Listen. refusing to participate in the election doesn't absolve you from the outcome - it just shows you care more about your personal sense of moral superiority than the lives of the thousands of people worldwide who will be impacted by the results of the election and don't get a say.

Obviously we'd all prefer if there was an option on the ballot other than "genocide" and "more genocide than the other guy" but I'm seriously yet to see anyone who argues against voting harris properly acknowledge that if you don't vote then the election still has a winner.

If you're able to vote in the US presidential election then your hand is already on the lever. You're already involved. Choosing to walk away because 'they're both bad' does not morally absolve you from the outcome of the election, it just coddles your personal feelings.

It just feels like such a short-sighted and egocentric view on morality to go "well I'M going to remain morally pure. I'M not going to vote so I'M not culpable for whatever happens." Yes you are. You had the opportunity to pull the lever and you chose not to. Can you genuinely, hand to god, look me in the eye and tell me you think trump is the better choice. One of them IS going to be president and if you don't vote for kamala it IS going to be trump. The system sucks but if you're within it you have to choose one. There's no opting out if you opt out that's just a vote for the other guy so who are you picking.

the [insert indescribably negative and hopeless adjective here] thing about our world is that unlike the great equalizer that is the Pale, the world likely won't end for everyone once things go to shit.

according to some of the simulations for how wet bulb temps will worsen: the comparatively small % of people who are able to survive decently in the system right now will likely survive the climate catastrophe.

maybe we'll be proletarianised or lose our trivial little luxuries. the concessions - sorry, "rights" that we have may be revoked. maybe our state will collapse and reform. on the whole though, most of us here who are already sitting pretty will live, while most of the actual global population won't.

Evalien: *sweeping out the front of breezehome watching the kids she adopted play*

Blaise: Ma! You wanna play tag?

Evalien: hm? You wanna play tiggy?

Blaise: tiggy?

Evalien: *sighs* tag. It was originally called tiggy touch wood where I’m from. It’s where we got the phrase touch wood or knock on wood from.

Blaise: is that like- a dwemer thing?

Evalien: no… no it’s a British Australian thing.

Blaise: what?

Evalien: don’t worry about it. *pats his hair* …YOURE IT! *teleports away*

Blaise: HEY!

paper deets? go brainstorm crazy

Okay, I'm not gonna go too crazy, because I'm already writing a paper on it anyway. But basically, there was a 2019 amendment in Australia (bear with me, I still need to triple-check there hasn't been another amendment since then) which sought to redefine violent/non-violent protest, but it is also important to note that for many years prior as well, police 'move on' powers have been introduced and increasingly used across the nation. As recently as 2022, Tasmania introduced anti-protest laws. Other states have very similar legislation, particularly down the east side (QLD, NSW, VIC, and also SA).

Not too sure how much followers of my blog know about how legislation works, but anyway, there has essentially been a combination of several acts in each state that combine to criminalise protesting to the point where there is, essentially, no effective way to protest even peacefully. Police can demand that protestors move on because the altered definitions of protest are as loose as 'public disturbance/in a public place/obstructing the regular passage of life in the area etc.' (very rough paraphrasing, sorry, I have so many tabs open from my research, and I'm gonna save the more direct quotes for the actual paper). And once an order to move on as been issued by an officer, and they believe it is not being complied with, they have grounds to arrest.

This is barely the half of it. Not only is this going against the democracy Australia is supposed to be, but there is heavy media influence too over how we as a culture perceive protesting--an activity that is crucial to a democratic system. Without even realising it, Australia is becoming one of the very things we often hate: autocratic. We are fortunate here, but those days are numbered if this trend continues. Our government is supposed to be "of the people, for the people", and yet the divide grows and protest is being demonised.

There is so much more I could say but for now my lips are sealed on the matter until a later date. I know a lot of this sounds kinda wild and I'm not really defending my arguments, but again, I'm already writing about this for a grade and I would rather just keep it all in my head for a few more days as I work on it.
