Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

  • They did

    And make no mistake Lula is also a crook, he just so happens to be a crook I’m aligned politically with (reformist leftist rather than neofascist)

    But that just further proves the Teflon claim:

    He did get locked up.

    And now he’s president again.

    Idk how it is in the first world

    But over here it’s pretty much a known fact that every politician is a Mafioso first and a politician second. When they do get in trouble it’s usually because they messed up enough in the political sphere that the other crooks decide to use the apparatus of law to fuck them over. Because if it were about their crimes they’d ALL be behind bars.




  • The way literature is taught in school is designed deliberately to make people hate reading + studying the subtext and paratext.

    By forcing kids to read books that aren’t just old, but were written by 40 year olds for other 40 year olds, and then mandating them write reports about the symbolism of a book they didn’t even want to read in the first place, you ensure that like 80% of people will inherently associate reading and interpreting media with every negative emotion at once.

    Meanwhile you look at fandom dorks on every site and you see how invested on themes and subtext they are, and you realise people kinda naturally want to overthink media… Provided they like that media.

    But people who can read subtext and understand it are less susceptible to propaganda. So.
