people should have the right to self determine without interference from others. they should have the right to health, safety, and freedom.

the exceptions are harming another or obstructing another's ability to obtain health, safety, and freedom.

things which are inclusive generally do less harm. providing options and giving food, homes, healthcare, etc generally do more good.

restricting another's ability to vote, to decide what they do with their bodies (drugs, recreational or not, hrt/surgery, etc) and how to live their lives (ex: some states make it illegal to be self-sustainable/off grid) is harmful to humanity as a whole.

period.

any government that allows this sort of things is fascist.

a government is an organizing tool with the ability to mobilize resources on a grand scale. it is something that is supposed to better humankind and our relationship to the planet. to one another.

there being an upper class is not necessary. there being money is not necessary. we throw away half of what we make and even more than that is useless or made obsolete on purpose.

there are patents for technology that the government holds that would change the way society functions.

we could have something more akin to anarcho-socialism (?). i'm not huge on the political theory. it may be more like communism. if only humans could get their heads out of their ass.. and stop wanting to rule one another. or to subjugate one another over differences.

Nikki fails to understand that FREEDOM is to live without fear of death by guns, of overpriced healthcare, poverty from low pay, overpriced housing, and overpriced food.

Nikki's idea of freedom is that of a teenager... all "my right to DO things" but NO with responsibility to DO what is actually right.

Roosevelt defined the two freedoms he wanted added to the bill of rights:

FREEDOM from WANT

FREEDOM from FEAR

Roosevelt fought actual Nazis you traitor-party aligned b*tch!

Nikki Haley is a liar

What are we buying?

Thank you for considering these ideas :)

No matter your perception of the world and who’s telling you what, always be consciously aware that you are a free and sovereign being forever on a journey much greater than this world.

lets talk about how corrupted pangi/ls pangi navigates gender expression. pleaseee. like beyond joking about it. because it's been the only thing i've been thinking about since i watched his vod. im so sad

there's two clips i want to reference: clip one, where ros tells him that he wore a bow and he denies ever wanting to do that. ros pulls out a top hat, and pangi says "that's more like it." -- clip two, where he finds the bow in his enderchest and hovers over putting it on for a several seconds, then stops abruptly, and distracts himself with messaging water.

the second clip in particular is the one that really gets me. because he's just learned that this is something he's apparently done. and his hesitance shows that it's not something he truly believes that he wouldn't do, or not want to do, but rather something he is apprehensive of. he's nervous.

when he says "that doesn't seem like something i'd do," what he means is, "that doesn't seem like something i'd let myself do,"

this isn't to say that pangi is repressed on lifesteal, but both servers harbour very different environments, don't they? i mean, pangi's never said it directly, but other lifestealers have. ash just the other day said, "why everyone is so nice here?" -- and it's true not only in gameplay, but also in general politeness. people are kinder here. it's an entirely new environment. and pangi's been surrounded by these people for almost half a year, there is absolutely no doubt that he's changed and grown accustomed to that kindness in that time. the realm gave him understanding, and he's surrounded by people who have not only given him the chance to be more feminine, but encouraged it. these are people who want to see him at his most comfortable, no strings attached.

to put it simply, it's vulnerability. it's expressing himself in a way that he, as far as he's aware, has never done before. a way in which he has never been given the opportunity. and he's in this new place where people tell him things like "i need you," and "i miss you," and "i cared about you," and he doesn't know the faces behind these words. he doesn't know why they're being so nice to him, it's not something he's used to. maybe it's hard for him, and where he is mentally, to acknowledge that he has ever entertained the thought of being open and vulnerable with these people. he was comfortable here. he was safe. he let people not only see that part of him, but trust them enough to understand it, too. and he doesn't remember any of it.

and yeah, i don't necessarily think this was purposeful from pangi "i made it all up on the spot lol" live, but nonetheless, unintentional queer themes are still queer themes. and even without considering his gender expression, it speaks to how comfortable he was on the realm. how truly at home he felt.
