there is literally nothing this generation loves more than stereotyping. it’s like a fun little pastime to folks nowadays
#l832.txt#folks will be like ‘can we destigmatize. can we normalize’ and then invent 15 brand new stereotypes

Just yesterday I made a post about Israel cutting off Gaza from the rest of the world by destroying its last remaining fibre cable. Today Israel cut off the whole West Bank and placed it on total lockdown, sealing it off with barriers and metal gates with no way in or out. It's all the same policy of isolation. Now you're aware of it. Talk about it.

god the beginning of the waterloo digression goes so unbelievably hard, the way it starts off with him just walking through the countryside on a beautiful day & coming to a farm etc and then as it goes on & he comes across little things in the landscape -- a church, a well, an orchard -- it starts cutting back and forth between these violent bloody horrible moments in the battle and the peaceful countryside full of remnants & marks & ruins that he's walking through. and likewise these grand desperate moments in the battle that then cut back to the 'present' where there's nothing but a few damaged bits of architecture in the may sunshine to show for it. insane insane insane
