The people who go "well who's going to look after you when you're old?" when you say you're not having kids are breathtakingly naive. Our next-door neighbour, somewhere in her mid-80s, has a son, grandkids, and a grear-granddaughter, and who's the one she calls when she needs help, and checks that she's not spending christmas alone? Me and my boyfriend.

Having kids is irrelevant if the answer to that question is still going to be "the mentally ill faggots next door."

The Les Mis performance for Trump just reminds me of how utterly hollow, toothless, and meaningless all “political” broadway musicals are. It’s especially weird because the original novel Les Miserables was an extremely specific and radical leftist political statement when it was published, and still is radical in many ways today— the musical has just sanded away all its rough edges into toothless hollow platitudes that anyone can consume and feel like it validates them. It’s frustrating how such a relevant political work has been converted into something so empty, so determined not to say anything. All the novel’s systemic criticism/satire of the police is eliminated, the rebellion is made generic and non-specific, the politics sanded away into nothing. The original novel was written as a call to action against Napoleon III, a “president” who declared himself emperor and began dismantling democratic institutions; the modern musical is written so that a president who is doing the same things can watch it and feel that he is the hero.

People criticize Hamilton, but at least when Hamilton did a performance where Mike Pence was in attendance in 2016 they stopped to address him directly and urge his administration to have compassion for immigrants. Hamilton might be liberal or “not leftist enough” but that’s radical in the extremely conservative billionaire-funded world of Broadway, where every musical is carefully designed to be utterly devoid of any coherent political statement.

And the actors, artists, and everyone involved in the performance were too spineless to even address Trump directly, the way that the Hamilton performers did. They make so much money off the shallow aesthetic of revolution while ignoring even the fundamental basics of the political statement that the original novel was written to send.

I don’t know how these performers do it—- the cowardice and hypocrisy would eat me alive.
