And yeah, we know the Democratic Party is not some kind of righteous savior party. Yeah, there are plenty of capitalists, centrists, Liberal White Allies ™ in the party. But they’re still genuinely better than the Republican Party, and closer to the end of the spectrum that we want to move everyone to. Parties can change – if you show up to change them.
Let me put it this way – you don’t want to vote, you want a revolution instead? Revolutions are unbelievably violent, unimaginably violent, on a scale no living Americans have ever experienced unless they’ve been in an actual, literal war zone. Most of us would most likely die in a revolution. I’m not interested in diving headfirst into that. And historically, revolutions never end in utopia. They end in chaos that causes most people to hit their fear-driven authoritarian thresholds and turn towards strongmen to tame the chaos, and that always ends in warlords and political coups and worse dictators than before.
(“But here’s some advice, boy. Don’t put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That’s why they’re called revolutions.” – Yes, thank you as always, Sir Terry Pratchett.)
We teach all the wrong lessons about the American Revolutionary War. The real revolution, the earth-shaking part of it, wasn’t the fighting or the war or the killing. That’s just the bloody rhythm of human history. No. It was when they set up a system of government that handled power transfer peacefully through elections and stuck to it. It was when George Washington definitively and witheringly rejected any notion of being crowned king. It was when he stepped down after two terms when he probably could’ve coasted for a lifetime. And it was when he handed power to the next president peacefully, willingly, and as a required function of the system of government they were part of. Voting IS the revolution.
you’ve gotta stat romanticizing your life. you gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you’ve ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new. you have to, because that’s when you start truly living. that’s when you look forward to every day.
live your life like a ghibli movie where literally everything is charming and beautiful
Warning: Do not try this at home unless you were born with super Slavic knee strength
THE GUY AT THE END
Ahahah it’s not just knee strength you need, friend. It’s thighs, ass, ankles, calves, you need everything from your waist down to be horrifyingly fit and toned for this.
Also core strength. So include the waist. Everything from the nipples down.
“This café got inspired by a Korean TV hit W – Two Worlds” by Lee Jong-suk and Han Hyo-joo, in which the characters enter a fantasy webtoon world. Every single detail in this place is so well though that at first it might seem unbelievable that this place actually exists!”
When I first posted this video a lot of people sent me messages asking if the anime it’s from, Oruorane the Cat Player, had a sub. Well, thanks to Orphan Fansubs, now it does! Download here: https://nyaa.si/view/1055755
Been playing through Undertale for the first time on Switch recently and since it’s also spook month I had the idea for this dumb little parody animation of one of my favourite videos(x).Credit to the original artist, @brakken! Also up on Youtube.
This is simply wonderful.
I barely know anything about Undertale, yet still can appreciate the multitude of references you’ve incorporated in this short span of time, and in such a charming and flowing animation style. Even managed to work in the silly dance moves with distinct personality to both characters.
Love the track remix too. With the little I’ve heard of the game’s OST, the vibe is instantly recognisable.
The response to my original animation has been incredibly flattering, and this is just a whole ‘nother level.
