posting about the assassination of Caesar with the tags “anarchism” and “fuck the government” really is peak irony. like no. the ides of March was not a populist revolution. it was a bunch of old conservatives getting together to protect their deeply entrenched power by murdering a progressive. it’s like if the “cia killed Kennedy” conspiracy theory was true.
i choose to believe this is a symbol
mfw I don’t understand what the French Revolution was
Strong progressive parties with engaged labor unions are the best defense against fascism.
Corporate tyranny is the enemy. Billionaire overlords want you destitute.
do you ever think about the guard on the docks of Seyda Neen? do you ever think about how tired he must be of his job by now?
I’m sure it was terrifying at first, watching the stranger get off the boat, come up him, and morph their race and body and gender as he watched. but then it happened again, and again, the same ship arriving over and over, the same stranger getting off, him telling them the same lie - “I’m sure you’ll fit right in.”
by now, he’s just tired. he’s been doing the same job for twenty years. watching the boats get fewer and fewer, the time spent waiting between strangers get longer and longer. now, he waits with bated breath for the day that the final boat comes in, the final stranger begins their journey, and he can go home.
I actually despise poetry like this because it relies purely on its gimmick rather than any actual technical skill. because if you actually write it out in paragraphs it’s only a middling poem. it doesn’t really say anything interesting or advance the genre. the language is not very interesting. the sentences are mostly prosaic. there’s no musicality. in short it has very little actual artistic quality.
A poem should stand on its own as just the words on the page - not be defined by the goofy way you arrange them. I could, if I wanted, rearrange Thomas’ masterpiece Fern Hill or Keats’ On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer

written
like
so.
but they don’t NEED to be and in fact it would probably take away from the actual lyricism of the work.

This is what bug haters look like
cant stop thinking about the yellowjackets cgs still being just teenagers . like yes, they take amazing care of the little’s but it takes the combined forces of Nat, Tai and Laura Lee to try and make a bottle for Lottie the first time. And little!van whining and rolling around because they are SO bored but Mama can’t play right now because she’s doing homework. Nat and Jackie are deep into a gossip session about someone from school who had a go at Lottie in the hallway and Lottie’s just sitting on Nat’s lap with her fingers in her mouth completely unaware of what they are talking about. Shauna, who is usually the go to for English assignments, being regressed and now they’re all just making up their essays and it’s not going to end well.
hating on Buddhism and Christianity is based but like… “the world is structured to deny people as much pleasure as possible” what??? are you talking about??? this is absolutely deranged conspiracy nonsense. do people actually believe that???
