Thank you @sublime-linguist for giving such a perfect example of what I was talking about earlier with the concept of pump labels: https://a-s-fischer.tumblr.com/751375680663666688/so-i-came-up-with-the-concept-and-term-pump-label. It's very convenient when you point out a type of bad behavior end somebody gives you a perfect illustrative example. So thank you for that.

In this case, the pump label is once again "Zionist". Every single time I have talked about myself as a Zionist I have always done it while contextualizing my actual beliefs on Israel/Palestine, in which I talk about the fact that I am a two (or more) state solutionist and I want the Palestinian people to have full sovereignty over their own state, or states, I fully expect Israel to need to give up territory, and I actually want them to, and I consider Netanyahu to be a vile human being and also he and his right wing cronies are a major impediment to any kind of equitable peace. Every time I have talk about being a Zionist, I talk about how I want Israeli children and Palestinian children to grow up safe, happy, and free.

These are all beliefs that are antithetical to fascism. In fact I have, on a couple of occasions, talked about the fact that one of the reasons that I am so troubled by so-called pro-Palestinians being pro-Hamas is that fascism is a term with an actual meaning, that defines various political movements based on whether or not they have certain attributes, and Hamas ticks more than enough of the boxes for it to qualify. My anti-Hamas position is part and parcel of my opposition to fascism.

But this person can take me from being a two state solutionist with a commitment to liberal democracy to being a fascist by using the pump label of Zionist. Two state solutionist with a commitment to liberal democracy equals Zionist, and Zionist equals fascist. And now because I have been declared a fascist, anything I say can be dismissed as fascist lying and dogwhistles. If anything I say makes you question what you think and believe, or unsettles you in any way, that's just me using my evil fascist lies.

We also see that this person is using a special Marxist-Leninist in group definition of the word imperialism. And Marxism Is widespread enough both in academia and in western leftist circles that it has helped create this problem that i'm highlighting with this post. And we can see that they are an ideologue in general because instead of having you read any historian or having you educate yourself on political philosophy and history more broadly, they tell you to read an ideologue with a pronounced political agenda, who headed up a regime which pioneered many modern propaganda techniques.

And really Lenin is a particularly interesting choice for this person to pick, given that I wasn't actually thinking about Israel/Palestine when I made this post. I was thinking of Russian expansionism, especially with regards to Ukraine. And Lenin sure was eager to whitewash Russian expansionism.

It's only imperialism if it comes from the imperialist region of Western Europe. Otherwise, it's just sparkling subjugation.

hehe ghost-turbo haunting felix au

turbo is connected to the last piece of his code in the whole arcade - a trophy he gifted to felix in mid 80s as a symbol of him genuinely caring about their relationships on par with being the best racer. felix also gave him one of his medals and both kept their gifts next to other rewards, but when roadblasters and turbotime were unplugged, the medal was gone with everything else

now, after burning in cola-lava turbo is basically dead, but scraps of his code still were intertwined with the trophy (after all, it was his first winner's cup, but felix never knew about it), giving turbo an opportunity to exist as a shadow incapable of interacting with anything and anyone besides felix, who kept the trophy even after the roadblasters incident

also I went crazy in tags, feel free to check them out

Huzzah! It's birthday time! I'm slowly accumulating more and more things I like (latest additions this vest I made and a travel typewriter! Still need to fix the latter one though)

Sure has been a year.

question for next gen au lamb: what's your most favourite and least favourite thing about a parent?

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

[lazylittledragon]

right now i'm very torn between "taking critique is important as an artist and it's not an attack on me personally" and "people commenting about my same face syndrome under my posts upsets me an unreasonable amount and i wish they would stop doing it"

Well, I finally finished Dragon Age: Friendship is Magic and that is *my* biggest regret.

HOW TO PIN YOUR INSECTS:

Position limbs into desired arrangement and pin in place

Maintain eye contact

Pin should pass through the center of the thorax

Move slowly; lest the divine light leak out along with the ichor

Wait for the embers to die.

Wait for the embers to reignite.

*slaps my Donaka bot across the face* How DARE you promise to cherish and protect me without strings attached! That is not what I made you for!

[biancadavri]

all i'm asking is fifteen to twenty years where we shift the sexyman fantasy race status onto the dwarves. we need the beautiful runaway princess to be a dwarf we need the rebel leader with a rough attitude but a deep sadness in their eyes to be a dwarf we need. nay, DESERVE the morally complex antagonist to be a dwarf. unfortunately the whole "lift your defeated opponent's chin with the tip of your blade to have them look you in the eyes" trick wouldn't work anymore because a) he's carrying a warhammer now and b) he's short, duh but we're still left with him having to physically force the hero on his knees and that is a far more homoerotically charged move if you ask me. sorry who said that.
