I feel like both internet liberals and leftists have a tendency to reverse-Great Man Theory Ronald Reagan at the expense of any insight into the history of his policies or the conservative movement that led up to him.
#YOU CAN’T JUST BLAME EVERYTHING ON HIM WITHOUT TACITLY ABSOLVING COUNTLESS OTHER MONSTERS AND THE WHOLE FUCKING SYSTEM OF ITS GUILT.#IT’S DEEPLY INDIVIDUALISTIC AND ARGUABLY ANTIHISTORICAL.#Anyway this is because I saw a post that blamed him for the US backing brutal regimes in the global south under the guise of anticommunism.#When that famously started back in the post-WWII era and has its roots in Monroe Doctrine ideology.#FYI I fucking hate him but he’s a part of a larger picture.#(Anyway I study American politics during the Cold War with a focus on the rise of the far right.)#original content#100#500#1k

When they refer to wilderness as "virgin land," it sounds like rape. i think that when they say it's virgin land they will take it and use it without its consent. they never ask permission, they don’t care about hurting it. there’s no love for the earth, there’s no kindness for it. it is always about benefit and it’s always about disregarding its pleas to stop. although silent, it is screaming. because it cannot speak, and because it cannot defend itself, it’s taken advantage of over and over. because this is just as violent as rape. you’re not living in it, you’re killing it. you don’t respect it. the people who did, who rightfully venerated it, have been driven to near extinction. you’d rather call them “pagans” and “””primitive””” than listen. the earth is dying and that’s good. but it’s only good for you.

#us politics#global politics#i truly feel the global south has suffered ENOUGH#and YET#we still have to deal with one specific country’s own politics apart from our own#idk if americans truly realize how much of our headspace is taken up by the us’ activities because it directly impacts our own#it’s not the fault of YOU an American specifically#but i also truly honest to god hate this situation#it’s endless suffering#for third worlders in particular#i wish we could just ignore the US and not be affected at all#the same way the us is NEVER affected by our domestic politics#if it is it’s minor#but when the us sneezes everyone gets fucking Covid#this is the reality#/end rant

I'm not listening to a white person on what's racist or insensitive to brown people. read orientalism by edward said before talking to me or my son ever again
#“the take away was literally not a writing exercise” 1. it was 2#2. cant you white bitches do that on a different post#3. telling indians what is and isnt dismissive of what they go through is hmm. what is it called#4. fuck your saviour complex#5. you guys ARE incredibly dismissive of the global south. our lives are just fiction no what you bitches “warn” about is already happening#wanna talk about how american overconsumption is contributing to the climate crisis? or are you too pussy for that#sorry i dont want my post about how i dont want my people to die in heat strokes to be hijacked. be serious for once in your lives#“sci fi writers have been warning about this” cool! wonder where they got that from#plagiarising gayatri spivak cause i hate her. can the subaltern speak or is that too much for your cracker sensibilities

i understand that the site full of hyperfixating internet users who are exhausted grad students/doctorates by day is not the most effective audience to help me with this, but there is a horrible little devil on my shoulder who keeps whispering "psssst you could write an academic thesis on this" about my current interests and i need to kill it with fire
#I HAVE HAD A GOAL FOR APPLYING TO GRAD SCHOOL SINCE 2ND YEAR#i cannot be thinking about switching disciplines now#especially when the route that switching would ultimately take me down only leads to academia#and i hate the politics of academia#and YET. i'm reading my professor's book on retrospective narratives/histories surrounding places and icons in hong kong rn#and i just know the kwc especially given talk surrounding it the last year#would make a FANTASTIC example for interrogation in terms of how history and popular culture and identity intersect#via those kinds of narratives#and also more broadly how those narratives impact global perception of a place#like i could talk about it so so much#ANYWAYS.#is this the real life#ashton originals

I do have. not really beef, just something about Avowed portraying Aedyrans as Very Woedican. like technically I don't think it contradicts anything and also we're mostly dealing with government officials and soldiers and a freakishly large and obvious Steel Garrote presence so like yeah, that's going to skew results when it comes to worshipping the *checks notes* goddess of authority. but like I guess I always imagined the worship being more... complicated? she IS the Queen That Was. and also I guess I'm kind of attached to the idea of a Very Berathian Aedyr that I built up in my mind based on a few Aloth lines. which is honestly on me more than anything else but, you know
#I do feel a little confused about woedica's cultural position tbh#like she is the queen that WAS. she was dethroned.#she IS obviously still worshipped#and quite openly#and not only in Aedyr#which we can infer from the fact that the queen of the Huana invokes her very casually#<- there's an Onekaza line where she goes 'maybe Woedica is testing us/me'#but like there WAS a fall from grace? right? the temple of Woedica in Defiance Bay is sill burnt down#and yes Dyrwoodans are FERVENT Magranites#but like is the idea that it's fine and okay to disregard Woedica solely Dyrwoodan?#like where are we on the 'we all hate Woedica' to 'we proudly worship Woedica' scale globally#are the Dyrwoodans freaks for scorning her or are the Aedyrans freaks for respecting her that much#pillars of eternity#herearedragons meta#I guess

Western analyses of imperialism is like a frog's analysis of a well.
#and i mean westerners of all races#case in point: arab tankies in the western diaspora#tankie-hood is inverted us exceptionalism. even when you hate the imperialist your entire worldview is defined by and centered around it#and erases the myriad other global south realities the same way#which is what the imperial core does— blind you to the rest of the world#it's like you're in the middle of the stadium lights and everyone else is in shadow#it's not just living in the west. it's the mentality of having grown up there#the stadium light is in your brain and you will always be squinting at everyone else#how on earth can you understand the periphery that way#western diaspora are also obsessed with their internal race politics so they don't have to grasp the reality#of being beneficiaries of the same imperialism that victimized their families#so they conflate their resentment at not being allowed to sit at the table with the struggle to not be eaten on it#anyway the only real anti-imperialist political commentary from the west comes from first generation immigrants#none of the others know anything that global south people dont understand better#western imperialism#colonialism#us exceptionalism#us imperialism#knee of huss
