…yes?

Also, Caesar was a progressive! Obviously not in the sense of modern social progressivism, but in the Roman political system he was considered a progressives. The conspirators were all *Optimates*, old corrupt conservatives who wanted to maintain the status quo that made them rich. Caesar purged corruption, reformed the grain dole so that it actually benefited the poor, and actively went against the byzantine (an ironic word to use, I know) political structures of Rome and gave much more power to the populace during his terms as Consul.

okay istg if one of you does #america on my posts again im biting.

JULIUS CAESAR is NOT like trump! Julius caesar got stabbed by rich guys for supporting the people, regular people fucking loved julius. The guys that killed caesar were run out of Rome! because everyone was so mad about it! and trump just fucking sucks.

also im not american.

there has always been one state that is more powerful than the others. there always will be. we are currently living through a period where that state is mostly good and we should be happy about it.

as trans activists we have GOT to get more comfortable with embracing the idea that we are a threat to the usamerican status quo. no more of this "we're the real america lovers, we make america great" shit. usamerica isn't and should not be made great, because it is a racist imperialist patriarchal state that has caused huge amounts of death and devastation worldwide. all our struggles are interconnected.

we should not be licking the ideological boots of a political system that gives zero shits about any of us, we should be dismantling it and replacing it with something that does. if trans existence is a threat to this country, then GOOD. I'm fucking proud of that. and you should be too.

UGH Octavian was really the worst outcome possible. every time I think it isn’t possible to hate him more and then he gets worse.

my Roman Empire is the Roman Empire if Marc Antony had got what he wanted and established a Romano-Macedonian-Egyptian imperial dynasty descended from himself, Caesar, and Cleopatra to rule over a joint Roman-Egyptian Empire with Persian aesthetics.

more like mommy Morrowind

mother morrowind

so the monarch is allowed to use we/us pronouns but when I want to use she/her British people get mad? what’s up with that? :/

Your head is so deep up the CIAs ass you found canada and decided it to be heaven because you've been traveling in shit for the past 20 years of your useless volkisch life. God you're pathetic you pig dog gringo, globalist gusano, go call your senator or whatever and cry about being called a fascist online, maybe then they'll kill a few babies in your name. You're a useless piece of trash who only eat American Kraut Media, with a wolfsangel seal upon its filthy hide. Your American democracy is dying and I hope you die too. Your black sun is setting go watch shitty TV shows and suckle your thumb.

this is. utterly insane. what the fuck.

Hey!! Your reply to my (dagoth ur propaganda) post interested me, i haven't seen in TES lore that Dagoth Ur would have returned many times (i tried searching for that info at one point, it would've been useful in a story i was writing at the time) so i'm curious if i overlooked some detail?? 👀👀

so most of that was “devout tribunal worshipper larp”

but there’s definitely evidence for OTHER members of House Dagoth returning after they were killed. If you manage to talk to Ascended Sleepers, you can ask them about “understand nothing” and they say:

“You think what you do has meaning? You slay me and I am dead? It is just dream and waking, over and over, one appearance after another, nothing real…”

which I’ve always taken to mean that you can kill them, but they are revived by the heart. we can also tie this to Lord Vivec’s dialogue when you ask him about “to be a god”. She replies:

“…It is a bit like being at once awake and asleep. Awake, I am here with you, thinking and talking. Asleep, I am very, very busy. Perhaps for other gods, the completely immortal ones, it is only like that being asleep. Out of time. Me, I exist at once inside of time and outside of it.

continue

It's nice never being dead, too. When I die in the world of time, then I'm completely asleep. I'm very much aware that all I have to do is choose to wake. And I'm alive again…”

So I take that to mean that those connected to the Heart of Lorkhan are functionally immortal, returning to life some time after their supposed death, just like the Ascended Sleeper said. The *dream* that the Sleeper mentions is death. *Waking* is being alive again. For what it’s worth, Vivec calls the followers of Dagoth Ur “heartwights,” meaning they definitely have some connection to the Heart, even if they aren’t on the same level as the Three.

There’s also Dagoth Ur’s famous line, “I’m a god! How can you kill a god?”, which comes right after you beat him in the outer chamber, then walk into the Heart Chamber and he’s right there again. I’ve always taken this as “we kill him in the outer chamber and then he revives inside.”

So I definitely think Dagoth Ur *could* come back to life, if killed. Did he? Probably. We know that the Three made yearly pilgrimages to the Heart to replenish their power. We also know that Vivec defeated Dagoth Ur at least once in open battle. I think it’s likely that the Three would have fought and beaten him at least a few times.

they should make a church where you just go have wine and dont have to sit through the boring god stuff

Закройте рот ты сука

I’d be careful if I were you, anon. Considering it’s illegal to acknowledge the existence of queer people in Russia, I’d recommend you get off the gay website immediately.

I disagree. liberalism has been, on the whole, a positive force.

Let’s look at the achievements of liberals:

- ended the transatlantic slave trade

- drastically reduced the power of the British monarch and Lords in favour of a democratic parliamentary system

- the French Revolution

- spread ideas of liberty and democracy to all of Europe, eventually leading to the decline and fall of the European autocracies

- the Revolutions of 1848

- the creation of Italy and Germany (which I will admit was probably an L in the long run)

- ended slavery in America (yes, the Republicans of Lincoln’s time were liberals)

- beat the Kaiser

- overthrew the Tsar and ended Russian feudalism (yes, that was the liberals. The Soviets only overthrew them later after the Republic was already established)

- liberated Ireland (while the later IRA were socialists, Michael Collins’ IRA was liberal and republican)

- beat the Nazis (the Soviets could not have won without American aid)

- decolonization (it was mostly American pressure that forced the French and British to decolonize, not Soviet.)

- liberated Eastern Europe from the USSR

- liberal democracies were the first states to decriminalize homosexuality and legalize gay marriage

And more that I don’t have time to list here.

I reiterate. No state is perfect. But America’s rivals are cartoonishly evil. The Chinese are committing a genocide as we speak. The Russians are invading a sovereign republic for no other reason than imperial expansion. The United States is practically a saint in comparison.

as trans activists we have GOT to get more comfortable with embracing the idea that we are a threat to the usamerican status quo. no more of this "we're the real america lovers, we make america great" shit. usamerica isn't and should not be made great, because it is a racist imperialist patriarchal state that has caused huge amounts of death and devastation worldwide. all our struggles are interconnected.
