In my Zeus bag today so I'm just gonna put it out there that exactly none of the great Ancient Greek warrior-heroes stayed loyal and faithful and completely monogamous and yet none of them have their greatness questioned nor do we question why they had the cultural prominence that they did and still do.
Jason, the brilliant leader of the Argo, got cold feet when it came to Medea - already put off by some of her magic and then exiled from his birthland because of her political ploys, he took Creusa to bed and fully intended on marrying her despite not properly dissolving things with Medea.
Theseus was a fierce warrior and an incredibly talented king but he had a horrible temper and was almost fatally weak to women. This is the man who got imprisoned in the Underworld for trying to get a friend laid, the man who started the whole Attic War because he couldn't keep his legs closed.
And we cannot at all forget Heracles for whom a not inconsiderable amount of his joy in life was loving people then losing the people around him that he loved. Wives, children, serving boys, mentors, Heracles had a list of lovers - male and female - long enough to rival some gods and even after completing his labours and coming down to the end of his life, he did not have one wife but three.
And y'know what, just because he's a cultural darling, I'll put Achilles up here too because that man was a Theseus type where he was fantastic at the thing he was born to do (that is, fight whereas Theseus' was to rule) but that was not enough to eclipse his horrid temper and his weakness to young pretty things. This is the man that killed two of Apollo's sons because they wouldn't let him hit - Tenes because he refused to let Achilles have his sister and Troilus who refused Achilles so vehemently that he ran into Apollo's temple to avoid him and still couldn't escape.
All four of these men are still celebrated as great heroes and men. All four of these men are given the dignity of nuance, of having their flaws treated as just that, flaws which enrich their character and can be used to discuss the wider cultural point of what truly makes a hero heroic. All four of these men still have their legacies respected.
Why can that same mindset not be applied to Zeus? Zeus, who was a warrior-king raised in seclusion apart from his family. Zeus who must have learned to embrace the violence of thunder for every time he cried as a babe, the Corybantes would bang their shields to hide the sound. Zeus learned to be great because being good would not see the universe's affairs in its order.
The wonderful thing about sympathy is that we never run out of it. There's no rule stopping us from being sympathetic to multiple plights at once, there's no law that necessitate things always exist on the good-evil binary. Yes, Zeus sentenced Prometheus to sufferation in Tartarus for what (to us) seems like a cruel reason. Prometheus only wanted to help humans! But when you think about Prometheus' actions from a king's perspective, the narrative is completely different: Prometheus stole divine knowledge and gifted it to humans after Zeus explicitly told him not to. And this was after Prometheus cheated all the gods out of a huge portion of wealth by having humans keep the best part of a sacrifice's meat while the gods must delight themselves with bones, fat and skin. Yes, Zeus gave Persephone away to Hades without consulting Demeter but what king consults a woman who is not his wife about the arrangement of his daughter's marriage to another king? Yes, Zeus breaks the marriage vows he set with Hera despite his love of her but what is the Master of Fate if not its staunchest slave?
The nuance is there. Even in his most bizarre actions, the nuance and logic and reason is there. The Ancient Greeks weren't a daft people, they worshipped Zeus as their primary god for a reason and they did not associate him with half the vices modern audiences take issue with. Zeus was a father, a visitor, a protector, a fair judge of character, a guide for the lost, the arbiter of revenge for those that had been wronged, a pillar of strength for those who needed it and a shield to protect those who made their home among the biting snakes. His children were reflections of him, extensions of his will who acted both as his mercy and as his retribution, his brothers and sisters deferred to him because he was wise as well as powerful. Zeus didn't become king by accident and it is a damn shame he does not get more respect.
#ginger rambles#ginger chats about greek myths#greek mythology#It's Zeus Apologist day actually#For the record Jason is my personal favourite of these guys#The argonauts are extremely underrated for literally no reason#And Jason's wit and sheer ability to adapt along with his piousness are traits that are so far away from what usually gets highlighted#with the typical Greek warrior-hero that I've just never stopped being captivated by him#Conversely I still do not understand what people see in Achilles#I respect him and his legacy I respect the importance of his tale and his cultural importance I promise I do#However I personally can't stand the guy LMAO#How do you get warned twice TWICE both by your mother and by Athena herself that going after Apollo's children is a bad idea#And still have the audacity to be mad and surprised when Apollo is gunning for Specifically You during the war you're bringing to His City#That You Specifically and Exclusively had a choice in avoiding#ACHILLES COULD'VE JUST SAID NO#I know that's not the point however so many other members of the Greek camp were simply casualties of Fate in every conceivable way man#Achilles looked at every terrible choice he could possibly make said âWell I'm gonna die anyway đ¤ˇđ˝â and proceeded to make the choice#so hard that he angered god#That's y'all's man right there#I left out Perseus because truthfully I don't actually know much about him#I haven't studied him even a fraction as much as I've studied some of the other big culture heroes and none of this is cited so i don't wan#to talk about stuff I don't know 100%#Anyway justice for Zeus fr#Gimme something give me literally anything other than the nonsense we usually get for him#This goes for Hera too btw#Both the king and queen of the skies are done TERRIBLY by wider greek myth audiences and it's genuinely disheartening to see#If y'all could make excuses for Achilles to forgive his flaws y'all can do it for them#They have a lot more to sympathise with I'll tell you that#(that is a completely biased statement; you are completely free and encouraged to enjoy whichever figures spark joy)#zeus

My new Roman Empire is the absolute visceral reaction that Luke had to the mention of his father. Like yeah, Iâve always known that he hated his dad and that his dad hurt him and his mother. But to actually see how the mention of Hermes just flipped a switch inside of him?�� Do you know how much Luke had to be hurt for him to have that kind of reaction? How much pain he had to endure to show that level of rage? Because I do, and a reaction like that doesnât come from one bad experience, something minor being blown out of proportion. No, that usually comes from countless terrible things happening to you. It comes from many very strong, very real emotions boiling over.
The amount of pain that he had to endure and still has to endure to get that reaction? That is something I will now think about constantly.
#and people still have the audacity to say that Luke is just being a brat#that it wasnât that bad and heâs over exaggerating#i beg to differ#but yeah#thatâs enough reflection for one day good night đ

There's absolutely no way people are now saying that all the gege-hate train is just an internal joke of the fandom. There's no way you're this out of touch with what has been happening.
I've been in the fandom since 2020 and it doesn't take a lot of smarts to see there's been a change in tone in the way some people say that in the last year. Since this new arc of history began, destructive criticism, massive hate and threats have overflowed into hundreds of profiles. It's no longer "oh, I hate Gege akutami" now and for a while now it's "I hate Gege akutami - his manga is horrible I'm gonna drop it (they never do) - he doesn't deserve popularity - he doesn't know how to write - he pretends to have an illness."
And yet, it's not normal to make jokes about wanting to kill someone, hon. Go check yourself if you find that funny, you're no better than let's-joke-about-sensitive-issues reddit incels
#you're all sick if you want to justify this now#it reminds me of the first hate train in 2021 when gege couldnât finish the chapter and it went published as three normal pages + sketches#people went crazy that time#like you donât understand#how out of reality some of you are#you treat people just for the sake of your entertainment#not as people#you dehumanize authors artists actors and you have the audacity to feel entitled to do so#touch some grass#also the whole discourse about gege faking an illness so the manga gains popularity hmmm WHAT#first of all this is not western culture#sencondly god forbid someone to fall ill#he was ill another times you just want to hate#and jjk is doing well financially like it was at its peak last year and still charts well#literally what are you yapping about#jujutsu kaisen#@meyers#jjk 262#gege akutami#âmeyersÂťtalksđ¸

RUFIOH PROPAGANDA: Literally everything he has ever done to and about Damara - cheating on her and lying to her for years, seemingly never standing up for her when Meenah was terrorizing her, still chasing her image as a sex object to this day (particularly Aradiabot, who he says acts âjust like the real thingâ), and calling her his âpsycho exâ behind her back constantly while acting nice to her face.
KANKRI PROPAGANDA: Straight up doesnât think Misogyny is real and denies its existence outright, calling it a meaningless pseudoscience not worth any concern, discussion, or consideration. Slutshames Porrim directly to her face.
#homestuck#homestuck polls#alpha trolls#rufioh nitram#kankri vantas#damara megido#porrim maryam#nekro.txt#my vote is personally on Rufioh since he is more of a danger than Kankri is#both physically and in how his misogyny is expressed#Kankri doesnât seem like he could survive a physical altercation and his misogyny. while more direct. is also just stupid as fuck#and doesnât really do much other than annoy Porrim and cause crazy fandom discourse bc the fandom is also full of misogynists#who take him completely at his word for no reason#despite his whole deal being that you shouldnât listen to him#Rufioh meanwhile is ABSOLUTELY capable of beating my ass in a fight AND heâs exercising his misogyny in very tangible ways#that can will and HAVE caused actual legitimate harm to people in universe#he played a very active role in damaras mental downfall and not only does he still mock and blame her for it#but he has the audacity to be nice to her face shit talk her behind her back and sexually objectify her image#aradiabot is a child and he still targeted her for âacting just like the real thingâ#way more dangerous than some dumb fucking idiot saying obviously stupid shit imo#like while Kankriâs misogyny is more overt bc heâs practically saying the words âIâm a misogynistâ with his whole chest#Rufiohâs misogyny is more *tangible*#you know

Ignorant?
Letâs just say this was Noelleâs breaking point into why she canât stand Sebastian⌠the audacity of this bitch. I know a lot of people really like him (and I for one absolutely love him as a characterđđ¤) but Sebastian gets on my nerves SO much playing the game, and to that I reflect that onto Noelle.
but also when he almost forced Ominis to cast Crucio in the scriptorium, like bro stfu cause like hell are you making my baby do that, thatâs messed upđđż
What I wish my choices were
>that was cruel
>youâre not thinking straight
>I WILL TURN YOU TO ASH YOU FOOL
#when Noelle gets triggered the world shakes#I swear half of his quest line is me loving him and having fun#and then the other half is me absolutely hating his guts and being so annoyed by his decisions#heâs a problem child but I still love himđŠˇ#the audacity#hogwarts legacy#hogwarts mc#hogwarts legacy mc#slytherin#hogwarts oc#original art#hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry#hogwarts legacy sebastian#sebastian sallow meme#sebastian sallow#I saw a few other people do there mcs reaction to this and I wanted to do it đ

Wardrobe Appreciation
âł Esteban Flores (Elena of Avalor)
#elena of avalor#esteban flores#chancellor esteban#this gifset is entirely about his little sailing/archeology/adventure outfit#that's why it has pride of place in the middle#realistically i know that he is really not THAT much more underdressed than in any of his other outfits#but to me; he is still in a delightfully shameful state of deshabille comparatively:#his neck exposed because he has *gasp* no cravat and has unbuttoned his shirt two whole buttons#the yellow sash belt that clearly has no other purpose except to remind us that his waist is snatched#no longcoat to partially cover his hips and the back of his legs? the brazen audacity. I need some pearls to clutch#moment of silence for all of the cute little potential esteban fits we never got to see on the show#at the very least; we were owed a nice little Navidad look in the snowbound ep#maybe a nice green jacket and/or one with little embroidered poinsetta accents to match elena's dress?#a carnaval fit would've been gr8 too; even gabe of all people got one (tho esteban still has more outfits than him overall so it even outs)#i would say that esteban should have a dias de los muertos outfit too (maybe matching francisco's)#but that would require the writers actually putting him in said episodes to begin with#i mean; i get it#it's not like he has any lost loved ones that he might hypothetically want to remember on day of the dead--OH WAIT!!!#i mean word of god is that he's visiting his parents' altars off-screen; but it would've been nice if we could've seen this once#even if he's just shown briefly in the background#also i *hate* that the shuriki era uniform looks so good on him#i mean she's still a monster and was definitely a hell of a boss to him#but dang; the woman has quite the sartorial eye#and you'll never not convince me that her chancellor looking excellent in black#isn't the entire reason the palace guards wear black too#she knows how to coordinate a retinue#esteban flores: assigned goth at conquest#poor thing#lucky (or is it unlucky?) he carries it off so well

Reading shin soukoku fanfic is a minefield because for every fic that makes me go "aww Dazai and Akutagawa are moving on from their past" and "Dazai's such a little shit, I love him" there's another fic out there that makes me wanna skin Dazai alive and then dump him in salt
#this referring to Dazai's mentorship with Akutagawa#what will never cease to piss me off is Dazai giving Akutagawa a shovel talk over Atsushi#BECAUSE#i'm not saying atsushi doesn't deserve people in his corner#but after all the ways Dazai has fucked over Akutagawa and caused him debilitating trauma#he doesn't even have the courtesy to try and make amends and then blatantly flaunts the fact that he cares about Atsushi#when he never gave a shit about Akutagawa and still doesn't#and not only that he KNOWS that Akutagawa still cares about his opinion and he just. doesn't care#the ONLY thing that calms my ire in these situations is Chuuya being equally if not more protective over Akutagawa#there was a fic where Dazai was on his bullshit again and Chuuya went OFF on him and - catharsis#fics where Chuuya tells Akutagawa that he's worth more than whatever the fuck Dazai did to him#fics where Akutagawa is told that he didn't deserve what happened to him#fics where Atsushi knows about the awful shit Dazai did and finally understands why Akutagawa is so messed up when it comes to his mentor#fics where Dazai leaves Akutagawa alone or tries to fix things#thOSE fics - my beloveds.#fics where Dazai has the audacity to threaten Akutagawa when i'd be worried abojt his capacity to be a good mentor after hjs track record?#AGGFHHH#shin soukoku#akutagawa ryuunosuke#nakajima atsushi#dazai osamu#chuuya nakahara

a message to antis who're hating on shu for the dating rumours?
(go all out, be a bitch, get mad, speak for the real fandom <3)
OH OH OH I HAVE ONE
fuck off.
you're not entitled to know everything about his life, and you are certainly not entitled to belittle and scold him for how he's living said life.
you're all acting like he owes you something. like you think that, just because you're his fan, he is obligated to make himself stay single just so you can live out your fantasies?
it's pathetic, really.
and it's particularly pathetic that you're now taking to harassing him online and getting angry for no fucking reason just because he might be dating someone that's not you.
joshua is a real person, and you're treating him like he's just a plaything, something from your imagination that you can bully and manipulate into doing what you want just because you cry and whine and yell at him for it.
it's like you don't really care for him at all, isn't it? you all talk about how he's your favourite person, your comfort, but when you get even the slightest inkling that he's trying to find comfort in another person, you're screaming in his comments and defaming him and treating him like he's- like he's fucking killed your family or something.
if you even cared about him, just a little bit, caring about him as a person, you'd be glad for him that he's pursuing his own happiness, really. don't you think?
you're all really immature, you know that? immature and spoiled. joshua isn't yours. he isn't anyone's. let the man fucking live his own life, will you? let him date who he wants and leave him the hell alone.
#fairyhaos.answers#ask#friends <3#sky.friends <3#weird-bookworm#maybe i overdid it a little but#actually no i didnt#it's for fucking joshua hong okay?? one of fhe sweetest people in the world and im still in shock#that peopke have the fucking audacity to be so shitty towards him#after all he's done for you? after all you claim you'd do for him?#im just... incredibly angry and disappointed all at the samw time.#joshua.svt#bc this is important and it's for my boy shu#joshua#seventeen#svt#svt joshua

it's so funny (read: sad) that if bigoted fuckheads didn't insist i was a woman simply by virtue of my body at birth, i'd probably be chill with she/her pronouns in addition to he/they. if my mom didn't insist i was her daughter, i'd probably let her call me that, and we could still have a relationship.
i'm nonbinary and 'gendered' words are hypothetically meaningless, but because there are so many people who are more interested in telling me who i am rather than lovingly and curiously letting me express my own sense of self, those words carry trauma.
there's no reason a nonbinary person like myself can't be a son and a child and a daughter. there's no reason a nonbinary person like me can't go by he, they, and she.
'she' is not a slur. 'daughter' is not derogatory. 'beautiful' 'pretty' 'gorgeous' 'feminine' are not insults.
to the contrary, they're parts of language that express certain facets of a multi-faceted human existence, like mine.
and i have this sad, mournful feeling that if it weren't for unloving, condescending people, i'd probably be down to be called any of those things alongside my usual masculine/neutral terminology.
but i'd rather die than let anyone tell me what i have to be called.
#i try to reclaim 'feminine' words for myself in private#calling myself 'babygirl' when i need to chill out. or saying i feel pretty. or going 'she needs help' when i'm struggling lmao.#but there's still so much fucking trauma in those words from the people who've forced them on me#who've snarled in my face that GOD made me ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY and that's a WOMAN (stepdad)#who've guilted me for taking their precious perfect daughter away as if i'm fucking dead (mother)#who've mocked me and everyone like me as if we're not the experts on our own sense of self (general transphobic public)#like. i'm not a fucking man. i'm not a fucking woman. i'm nonbinary. gender is absurdity as a concept. i'm done with it.#but being called a man or a son or a guy or 'he' or WHATEVER in that vein is fine and dandy because i've never had anyone say#'that is all you can EVER be'. or worse: 'that is what GOD made you to be and you have a ROLE to fill'#(christianity pls die approximately yesterday thanku đ)#so yeah. idk. ranting yet again about Cis Audacity.#the complete lack of empathy. the lack of curiosity even.#the condescending bullshit. the 'i understand you better than you do'. the fucking AUDACITY.#i am the expert on myself. i am the ONLY expert on myself. period. no contest. not a debate.#i understand myself better than anyone else is CAPABLE of understanding me.#i could call myself 'she' and understand that i meant it in a nonbinary way.#in fact i could even see myself letting other trans people call me feminine terms at some point in the future. when i've healed more.#but cis people? probably not. they can call me 'he' or 'they' or they can fuck off & never get to know me because they don't wanna know ME#/end rant#any terfs/bigots that try to touch this post will be swiftly blocked and quite possibly cursed. have the day you deserve <3

Itâs so embarrassing and heartbreaking being in so much pain over losing someone while knowing they donât give a fuck if you live or die. Your favorite person becoming a stranger is a special kind of hell.

i donât understand why people hate gale.
âheâs annoyingâ or âhe talks too muchâ or âheâs too clingy and got offended when i was in a relationshipâ (which was a BUG, it takes two seconds to do some research before jumping to conclusions) are the most stupid reasons to actually hate a character.
heâs the one that has the warmest personality when you first meet him as well, so i just donât get it?? iâm not saying youâre not allowed to dislike him, and this doesnât apply to everyone, but SOMETIMES it feels like people just hop on a âhate bandwagonâ because i see so many comments (especially on tiktok⌠where most of the people only started playing because itâs âtrendyâ now) about him that are the exact same as each other and itâs like people have lost the ability to think for themselves and form their own opinions after actually playing the game properly and learning about the characters.
so many people even go on about how itâs a turn off that he âdoesnât shut up about his exâ⌠like maybe actually continue playing the story to understand why itâs a significant conversation to have and why itâs a huge part of his character arc, and stop being weirdly bitter/jealous/annoyed when the man is also a VICTIM that has been manipulated and abused in a relationship with a massive power imbalance.
#gale#gale dekarios#baldurâs gate 3#bg3#the amount of people that have the audacity to pick up an extremely intense fantasy roleplaying game with ->#extremely deep and complex well-written characters but then donât even bother TRYING to get to know them and ->#instead just reduce them to things theyâre not is SO unbelievably frustrating#like if youâre going to be lazy why pick up the game#if you lack basic media literacy and donât understand a single thing about character analysis why are you even bothering ->#to talk about the characters#sorry if thatâs harsh but itâs exhausting#and fyi iâm specifically talking about toxic people who constantly hate on characters without understanding them#people are obviously allowed to dislike characters but when youâre spreading things that arenât even true itâs wild#like how can you talk when you DO NOT UNDERSTAND#donât even get me started on the literal BUG#people are out here saying gale is an obsessed creep that wonât leave you alone and it wasnât even supposed to happen#and itâs not even just people who hate characters itâs also ones who are weirdly obsessed but still lack reading comprehension#cough those astarion fans that sexualise him and treat him like an object#do you even know how much his character would despise hearing you talk about him that way#like come on now#my posts

I love how you can purposely cater you internet experience to block most politics so you can mentally detox since your media consumption was becoming unhealthy, and still have a whole week of attempting to regain your hope in humanity become completely undone by wanting to eat lunch with your mom (ramble in tags, feel free to ignore; take care of yourselves first <3)
#politics#us politics#tags so people can block this post#it's just so cool and awesome that things work like that#i was genuinely doing so much better#i was engaging with news in a healthier way#i was fixing my focus on what to do moving forward#but then i had the audacity to want to eat lunch with my mother instead of holing up in my room#she turned on fox news and i tuned it out... talking about stuff with them always turns into debates and its mentality exhausting#so i generally just keep my mouth shut unless asked#but then she started commenting on the news out loud#and so being a personable person i did my best to respond#they were talking about mass deportation of ''illegal criminals'' and she asked out loud why they havent sent them away already#so i said âoh well its expensive and there's not always places that are willing to take themâ... left my opinion on the sentiment out of it#that was the WRONG thing to say apparently#devolved into a debate where she ultimately said âok but it was a rhetorical question and i didnt actually want an answerâ#how was i supposed to know that????? im the only person in the room??? thats not what rhetorical questions are used for??????#so we moved on from the topic#she said something along the lines of âpff and people come in illegally and still want to seek asylumâ#so again i speak up#told her (with a quick google search to back it up) that people can either apply for asylum at the border or after entering illegally#as long as its within a year of entering#that was ALSO THE WRONG THING TO SAY#she reiterated that she still wasn't asking and added âim just watching the news; i dont want to google anythingâ#and im like...#...one; she mentioned in her âthinking out loudâ rambles that she's aware that i dont like to talk about this stuff with her#but that this stuff is important to talk about... which i took as a âwhy won't you talk with me?â#so ouch#but also... whY ARE YOU WATCHING THE NEWS IF YOU DON'T CARE TO VERIFY ANY OF IT#im out of tags to ramble in but I'm still so hurt and mad and i have been reminded how little people care about compassion and factuality

Y'ALL why the FUCK are the Mappa animators showing of the CORPSE of a DEAD FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL like teenage boys show off their Bugattis on tiktok. They got her ass at EVERY angle. They even added an INTERNAL SHOT from inside her popped fuckin' eyesocket PLEASE.
Mappa really dropped this at our feet like a cat brings dead fucking birds. That's the energy this emits. They're so proud of themselves.
If you REALLY want to dig in they even added "that one random item that's here for some reason that has literally nothing to do with cars but why not". Like people will just. Set their cat or a bottle of some expensive fancy brand of alcohol on top of their car and have a shot of it for. . . I don't know? An attention grab or something, EXEPT THE RANDOM ITEM IS JUST HER EYEBALL AFTER IT GOT SUPER SOAKERED OUT OF HER HEAD?? That's VILE man. This shit requires a life sentence MINIMUM. DAMN.
And then they have the AUDACITY to tease us that she might come back. I'VE SEEN THE NEW MANGA CHAPTERS they are NOT bringing her ass back (unless they pull a SIKE at the very end or something but come ON) but he looks so HOPEFUL I'm SICK.
GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU GEGE GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU GEGE GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU-

so i am over it now, but sometimes i catch myself thinking about my ex best friend and all the things he said and did to me â the whole ordeal was actually on acid
#â yap central#bro really did hit me with his class a manipulation tactics#and abused the fact that i HATE having people I care about mad at me#and then he had the audacity to fuck up ao royally bad and still expect to be able to fix it#men really are shit

don't think I'll ever be over how the media completely lambasted jeremy corbyn and misrepresented him in every possible way. the man was saying that the nhs needed to be properly funded and the media was acting like he was sacrificing children. he appealed to young people and this support got treated like a cult or like a hysterical ignorant movement. bc how dare young people not want to be in insane student debt and unable to afford a home. remember when they photoshopped him to look more russian and soviet? absolutely crazy shit but with all that he still won a higher percentage of the vote than starmer
#and starmer got such an easy time of it in the media. and they'll still be like 'corbyn was a failure' lmao.#and liberals will act like youre crazy if you call the media biased. will pure act like youre some conspiracy theorist#i was there i saw and heard the bbc's reporting and it was the least impartial thing i'd ever watched in my life#am reading an article about how the word populist just gets used against anybody the 'elite' doesn't like#and it's true. and it makes it harder to tackle actual fascists and racists like trump and farage bc they get lumped in with people like#sanders and corbyn. and then by this association with populism sanders and corbyn are tainted#as a 16 year old i said to a friend 'i don't get why populism is so bad if its the rule of the people'#and it's a little more complex than that but i saw how the media/establishment was using this word to discredit people w/out having any#actual argument. and i was right.#anyway jeremy corbyn đš best pm the uk never had#like ppl were shocked that there was such a strong base of support for him. and i didn't realise it at the time but i think it was shock#that particular groups were so invested in politics. and that they had the AUDACITY to support anyone who wasn't a centre right liberal#tony blair wrote that populism is a threat to democracy. and like...i would laugh if that didn't piss me off so much#hand yourself into the hague tony and stop lecturing people because they don't support your neoliberal nightmare anymore
