I feel like not enough people talk about how Subhash Chandra Bose basically had wartime alliances with Nazi Germany. So yes, not even Indian freedom fighters who opposed British colonization are beyond criticism, when it comes to the methods they chose. Freedom fighters can also be incredibly problematic and it is not wrong for people to say that they don't support them. And it is not wrong to criticize them. It is okay to condemn them. One can understand that it was their oppression that had a role to play in leading them to this path, and still not support it.

My brainrot today is thinking about just how incredible for a character Eowyn is.
Genuinely. The series might not have many female characters but the ones we do get go so fucking hard.
To me, Eowyn is literally the definition of defining being a woman for oneself. She rejects the roles she is given despite acknlowdging the importance and its mostly because she knows part of the reason is that she is a woman.
The reason why she is obsessed with Aragorn isn't because she loves him but because she wants what he has. She wants the freedom and courage and bravery that Aragorn has at every turn. She literally has multiple conversations during the Two Towers about how what she fears most is a cage. All this girl wants is the freedom to be and not be forced into a role. The best thing is that she literally gets that.
The segment of Return of the King about Eowyn and Faramir is literally about her piecing together what she truly wants. She doesn't want Aragorn. She wants freedom and the ability to choose. Faramir does nothing but encourage that in her. Their love story is literally one of the healthiest love stories I've seen in a long time because at the heart of it, their love is a place to return home to for both parties. Both go off to lead and help their people for a considerable amount of time before returning to each other but that does not diminish their bond. Even Faramir, I believe, falls in love with her bravery and dedication to her loved ones. The reason she went to Pelenor Fields and Gondor with the troops of Rohan was because she had things she wanted to fight for. She wanted to fight for herself, her people, and her loved ones. She is the one who protects Theoden after he is killed so that his body gets the treatment it deserves. She encourages Merry and helps him go to the battle because she sees her struggle in Merry. They feel helpless standing around when there are things to be doing.
Let's also not forget the fact that she was around Grima Wormtounge just as much as the King was. She was exposed to the same poison and awful words that eroded the king. It's even implied that her care for him is part of the reason why Theoden was savable when Gandalf showed up. She had the same power and bravery as everyone else even if she didn't see it in herself.
Then at the end of the day, SHE decides where she wants to go and what path she wants to walk. She walked the path of a warrior. The path of a princess/ruler. The path of a caretaker. But in the end she decides which elements truly mean something to her outside of gender definitions. That is what makes her character so incredible to me. In this she literally kills one of the biggest enemies in that battle with such a badass line.
#i could talk for ages about how i see the struggle of defining being a woman for oneself in her#she rejects the feminine roles given to her but she also doesnt quite want the masculine ones#she just wants the freedom to choose and have the same respect that men are given#she doesnt want to be belitted because she is a woman#thats literally what Faramir gives her and why she stays with him#Faramir loves her for her not anything else#he respects her as she does him#i am someone who is a woman but rejects the definitons of being a woman because they are toxic and caging#all i want is the freedom and respect of being a HUMAN being#i lend more masculine because that is where that freedom is more often but i also see how toxic that relam is too#niether side is good which is why i choose my own path and defintiom#the fact that eowyn gets such a similar story in a series written by a man in the mid 1900s is incredible#i am someone who would love to have more female characters but i do not want them at the expense of them being proper characters and humans#ive read a lot of fantasy women do not always get the agency they deserve#i would rather take fewer well written women then a bunch of poorly written female characters#lotr has that#eowyn arwen and galadriel are all given agency and the space to be their own individuals which makes them incredible characters#thats what i want out of books and ficition#god im making myself insane about my own thoughts lol#i could talk for ages im not kidding#eowyn#eowyn of rohan#lotr#lotr rambling#lord of the rings#the two towers#the return of the king

Remembrance Day doesn't hit so well a week after half the U.S. voted in a literal Nazi.
#“lest we forget” except y'all clearly DID forget#y'all can't point out fascism even when it's actively oppressing you#talking to / about the Trump supporters ofc#y'all only show up to support the troops on November 11th#the other 364 days you're sending the troops to commit genocide and ignoring the vets who are struggling mentally and financially#the rest of you who are against trump - thank you#i know it's hard but keep fighting#it's our turn now to protect our freedoms#tw politics#tw fascism#tw genocide

Angela Davis, Freedom is a Constant Struggle
…we will have to do something quite extraordinary: We will have to go to great lengths. We cannot go on as usual. We cannot pivot the center. We cannot be moderate. We will have to be willing to stand up and say no with our combined spirits, our collective intellects, and our many bodies.

"(that one arcane writer guy) drew inspiration from the US two party system and how they fail to communicate with each other"
what what what, yes of course thats totally comparable, you know, piltover, the rich powerful oppressor class living in paradise and zaun, the poor and exploited, that are literally made to live underground in poisoned air and water and waste created by the maschinery that makes piltover rich, rats in their garbage, that have no power anywhere and the second they resist get run over by enforcers of the rich and powerful
they just have a communication problem uwu, which is why putting 3 zaunites into the uniforms of their opressors and have them fight and die for a stupid otherworldy threat together makes them understand each other, which is why getting rid of any counceler that even mildly cared about zaun, reinstate that system, and giving a single seat to sevika instead makes sense, and look, the rich upper class powerful lesbian that turned into a dictator for a time gets to keep her power and the poor zaunite lesbian that lost everything get to be together!! we did it! we solved politics!
#ganondoodles talks#arcane critical#also literal fascist and the left not communicating isnt the problem....#also *sigh* no i dont mean the show needs to be a paramount of good ethics or whatever#showing the dirty ways politics move in that world is like .. the entire point#or WAS i guess until god cpmplex viktor showed up#(i dont have anything against viktor .. generally .. i liked him laot in season 1 .. but to have him become whatever that was .. man )#(and then used like that in s2 ..........)#the class struggle and the relatioship between vi and jinx was like ... the core of arcane#unti lseason 2 decided it wasnt it guess#and the way the end happens like that is just so#like its presented as if that solved anything ..... thats not ........... hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#yeah lets abandon all the fight for freedom and dismanteling of the oppressive system thats been build up the entire time#bc uuuuuuuuh whoopsy theres magic stuff happening now and some guys that lost the plot weeeeeee#im so tired#sorry i needed to get that out

Blazing Saga of Success: India, Years after Independence
The nation celebrated its 74th independence day. The celebrations took us back in a time of euphoria. For people born post-independence, especially in the seventies and after, it is a matter of imagination. The period happened to be laden with the fervour of festivity and expression of ecstasy which would come from within hearts. The school children in uniforms would circumambulate city roads…
