#anti nuclear war

From Brooks Atkinson’s Once Around the Sun (1951).

anti targ restoration because i don’t think dany, a girl who has never been to westeros, should sit on the iron throne. i just don’t think that’s how her story ends. i actually think it’s so tragic that viserys so deeply believed it was his to rule, but was never cut out for it. i think dany is the same way. she believes him, then gains the same mindset as him, because it’s what she has heard all her life. but i just cannot imagine a possible scenario where she becomes queen of the seven kingdoms. i’ve seen people say that it wouldn’t make sense for her as a character not to, because she is the antithesis of those who have come before her, and the women of house targaryen have suffered and she’s supposed to avenge them in some way by becoming queen. i don’t know where her story will end, but i don’t think she’ll become queen.

okay gang I'm going to be so real with you: I don't really like God Games.

idk. the characterisation for some of the gods (is Apollo and Hephaestus having absolutely no stake in the game hilarious? yes. am I interested in it? no). Zeus going back on his word despite being the god of vows. how easily all the gods were swayed (Hera is an exception to that. "he isnt a cheat" would absolutely work she doesnt need to know anything else)

its just. my least favourite of the saga

Idk if this is a hot take or not but I feel the need to stress: no discussion about the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki has any reason to mention Japanese war crimes. Literally nothing a government does justifies killing random people who happen to live in that government's territory. It is genocidal rhetoric to act as if a group of people can do something that justifes killing massive amounts of them.

There is an idea in western culture that we can judge warcrimes based on how "good" of a group were the victims. This dates back to the conquest of the Aztec empire, where things that horrified Europeans at the time where justified by bringing up terrible things done by the Aztec government. People defend the Spanish empire on those grounds today. It's so pervasive that it'll even come up when people are talking agaisnt genocides (they'll bring up native groups being peaceful as the reason why westward expansion was bad, as if them being human wasn't enough).

Would Russia be justified in nuking the US because the US government committed warcrimes in the middle east? (Actually speaking of Russia, you'll see this rhetoric when tankies bring up Ukraine's nazi problem.) Because if not, and you think hiroshima and nagasaki were justified, then you have to give a reason other then the fact that you judge the lives of westerners and nonwesterners differently.

If someone brings up crimes a group committed, real or imaginary, when arguing about atrocities committed agaisnt them, they've already told you that they don't believe people of that group have rights, that they believe anything can be done to them if it's justified.

There is no crime someone can commit, that's so bad that it justifies killing a stranger who happens to speak the same language as them.

[ QUAND FERA-T-IL JOUR CAMARADE // MIREIELLE MATHIEU]

WHEN DOES THE LEFT GO TOO FAR?

A video exhibiting all of the times the right wing/fascists have said that the left was "going too far"!

When somebody tells you your ideas are radical, communist, or "impossible" - remember that all of those things are true, within the capitalist imperialist framework. This system was not designed for the rights of the many. Those rights had to be hard fought for against the system, and each and every single time the people who fought for those rights were persecuted, were beaten down by law enforcement, and most of all - told that they were being radicals. That they were going too far.

Remember, "too far" is anything past what the current system allows. The system the powers of fascism uphold. If you find that the system has outlawed your rights, your safety, your friends and family, and you - advocating for your own life is going "too far" in their eyes. If the fascists start to sweat, and say that "you're going too far" - you are on the right path.

The fascists like having you afraid. They like making you feel isolated, small, helpless, and most of all they like to pretend that they are a big scary and unstoppable force. Thats why they hate when we organize, when we publicly show that we have the numbers and encourage people to join us - that we won't lie down, shut up, and take it - and we make ourselves stronger, more organized, and more well armed. Capitalists will fire you from your job youve dedicated your life to to save a cent, Imperialists will take your land to mine it for resources in the name of "national security" and kill your people, and the Fascists will erode your rights and hurt your family based off of ignorance. The common thread between all of these groups is they think you are prey and they are invulnerable predator.

Organize. Stand your ground. Be loud, be proud. Make fascists afraid again.

This video reminds us of some of the times that the left "went too far". Such as, in order of appearance:

Protests standing with Palestine

Protesting climate change

Protesting oil pipelines being built over Indigenous clean water zones

Occupy Wallstreet / protesting wealth inequality

Womens Suffrage / gender equality

Stonewall protest for LGBTQ rights

Anti war [Iraq/Vietnam/Cuba] protests

Nuclear weapon de-proliferation protests

Civil rights / Black rights in america

Black panthers defending communities

Ending apartheid in South Africa

Minority groups legally arming themselves

Establishing an Anti-Fascist group and counter-protesting fascists

Thomas Sankara protecting Burkina Faso from outside imperialism, and Ibrahim Traore picking up the torch

Dr. Fidel Castro defending Cuba from the Bay of Pigs American invasion

Dr. Mohammad Najibullah and Babrak Karmal, leaders of Afghanistan during the communist era that gave women equality, industrialized the country, and brought equity to all

The Soviet Union defending itself from the Siege of Leningrad by the Nazis

The USSR pushing back the Third Reich into Berlin

The Red Army liberating the Auschwitz concentration camp

Taking thousands of Nazi officers prisoner

The Soviets destroying symbols of Nazism

Not a single one of these things was done by insisting on working together with the fascists in a system of their design. This is why they get angry and afraid when you want to change that system. They have reacted the same to all of the aforementioned events. Do not let that discourage you, because despite those reactions, all of the aforementioned things happened anyway.

Not a single one of our civil rights or strides into progress was made through asking our oppressors. When the road ahead seems dark, think of all the achievements listed; and remember they all happened in approximately the last 125 years. All of that change in the span of less than two lifetimes.

Can you imagine what the world will look like in another two lifetimes from now?

With hard work, it will look like something beautiful for everybody.

"The Nobel Peace Prize is so devoted to awarding powerful officials and avoiding peace activism that it is often awarded to the wagers of wars, including Abiy Ahmed, Juan Manuel Santos, the European Union, and Barack Obama, among others. At times the prize has gone to opponents of some aspect of war, advancing the idea of reforming even while maintaining the institution of war."

[breawycker]

It's amazing that people still defend dropping nuclear bombs on Japan as of it didn't lead to countless deaths, needless suffering, and a pissing match between two world powers that caused even more pain. So many people have come out to say that the bombing was unnecessary but people just want to live in the fantasy that World War II was some glorious triumph where the US saved the world from evil. I'm not saying the Empire of Japan was some innocent victim but I can say that the civilians affected by nuclear weapons were.

Last review of the season is a true horror. Easily the most disturbing thing I've ever reviewed.
