Tankie Is Like. Exactly The Wrong Insult For A Robespierre Fan.

Eschew useless lesbianism in favor of productive and efficient lesbianism

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.

Are you stupid? Or are all Americans just as allergic to critical thought as you? You don’t think it’s at all weird that you unquestioningly believe everything that western news outlets tell you about countries they have a vested interest in lying about? Jesus fucking Christ I assumed you all had evolved at least past blatant McCarthyism and had at least developed better state propaganda to demonize “second and third world” countries, but apparently you didn’t have to: your citizens are functionally illiterate and incapable of meaningful intellectual thought or basic interaction with the rest of the world. Also you do not know what facism is fundamentally. Maybe stop skimming wiki and Reddit for your education and pick up a book. Hope this helps! Your tax dollars fund the murder and rape of civilians around the world so you can drink your non union coffee and live comfortably without fear of being bombed💗💗💗

not an American bby ✌️ try again

also, america is not "mostly good." we have footage of ICE rounding people up off of the streets and kidnapping them. do you..read? do you interact with the world at all? or is it nicer for you to look away and pretend we aren't sending people in droves to guantanamo bay to be horrifically tortured and murdered?

America is a republic. While the actions of the current regime are regrettable, I am confident that in time they will be replaced by a responsible government. Considering the economic disaster that is currently plaguing the nation, I have absolutely no doubt that the Republicans will lose the next election. That is the strength of the democratic system.

nevermind, I just noticed that your profile says “donbass will be free”. you’re not worth dignifying with my time.

rt is propaganda because it funded by russian government but bbc, australian broadcasting corporation, npr, korean broadcasting system, svt, television new zealand, radio canada, npo and france 24 totally objective source of informative news despite also being state funded. great work today everyone hit the showers

tumblr is a really special kind of place where you can find people complaining about how ‘The West’ is transphobic and reactionary and evil and then praising Russia and North Korea in the same sentence

Yeah so some of these couples are jokes and only "ships" in the fandom way. But you're wrong if you believe there wasn't any kind of special relationship between Robespierre and Saint-Just, Carnot and Prieur, Barère and... a lot of men. Yes, Carnot and Barère were married. Carnot loved his wife. Barère had several female lovers. Prieur had a long-term relationship with an older woman (who was married to someone else). But um... Did you forget bisexuality exists? Or homoromanticism? Or are you just de facto implying those aren't "real"? Have you internalized that they aren't real maybe? Because trust me some men love other men as much as women, as much as their wife, maybe more than their wife. David loved Drouais more than his wife - and no it wasn't "fatherly love". It was a teacher's/mentor's love with all of the ambiguity this involves when you remember they were artists and what the subjects they preferred to paint were. This culture offered a convenient pretext where you could blur the lines. And no, you'll likely never know the truth. You'll never know if they fucked other men, or how, or what positions they preferred, or if David actually fathered his own children. And honestly it's kinda creepy to take it beyond mere speculation and actually really want to know that far as if it was a fact you were owed to? You don't need to know those details. You can just know when there's obviously a loving relationship going on. That's just as true for living breathing beings you know btw. You'll never really know what kind of loving relationship they have unless they choose to tell you... or someone forcibly outs them, which is gross.

Maybe we should be happy they had the chance to live in a brief period where all loving relationships between men weren't automatically seen as "scandalous" and "depraved", that men were allowed to love each other without it being always perceived as "suspicious" and "illicit".

Barère's thoughts about Saint-Just aren't creepy because they're about another man - they're creepy because he clearly sounds jealous of Robespierre and, you know, the whole Thermidor thing and all the nasty things he said about both. But it's actually quite special that we get to read his obviously non-straight non-normative thoughts so openly. It's not "subtext" or our "fevered deranged imagination". It's just there. Your denial isn't my problem to deal with.
