Yeah, Léon Morin, Priest has some interesting dialogue concerning Christian faith, but let's be real here: I watched it and rewatched it just so I could ogle Jean-Paul Belmondo's character and I make no apologies for that.
ive just had the weirdest day. awake for *checks time* thirty five hours, my dog at work went crazy on a RC car, saw someone buy so much potato salad at the grocery store. had a heavy, deeply needed conversation with an old friend ive not seen for four years, played the most ridiculous session of dnd, realised A Lot of things about my self and how i probably need therapy and now im sitting and drinking the most swedish brännvin ive encountered so i can finally unwind. ive written so much smutty fic in the last few days i can barely think about anything else and i might have ocd
Genuinely terrifying that there are grown adults that look to politicians as some kind of moral compass or upstanding pillar of hope for the future. They're politicians i'd rather put all my hopes into the local bakery at least they won't lie to me or have to go touring around the country to convince people they make good donuts PROMISING thy can do it and not do a damn thing once their bakery is in the spotlight or actively poison the groups and communities they don't like because now they have widerspread first dibs on every customer. The local bakery would just do it and look at me strange for talking about politics like this at 6 in the morning.
Meet Edgar Morin - a 102-year-old Jewish veteran of the French Resistance, a renowned philosopher, and a strident voice for justice. It truly upsets me that I’d never heard of this incredible man till now.
“I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engage in a real massive slaughter on the population of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.
And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.
I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to TESTIFY. Let’s RESIST IN OUR MINDS, let’s not be fooled, let’s not forget, let’s have the courage to face things head-on.”

“After the massacre of 7 October, (Israel) engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza.”
French philosopher Edgar Morin, a Jewish WWII resistance fighter, criticised Israel’s actions in Gaza. He expressed disappointment at the silence of countries like the United States, Arab and European nations, whom he referred to as “protectors” of Israel.
