All The People Criticizing Vance For “not Being A Good Enough Catholic” Need To Get A Fucking Grip.

how tf do you guys do the little arrow thing in the tags

hi guys

don’t worry, if you keep saying shit like this no one will ever want to have sex with you

having sex with me is always incest because I consider us all brothers and sisters in our shared struggle against capital

idk when this was written but it really illustrates well everything I hate about modern poetry.

first off. it’s prose. they’ve written prose and are trying to pass it off as poetry by adding a few line breaks. no, Mr. Sullivan. It’s not enjambment. It’s bad.

second. because it is prose there no music to it. no beauty. it’s just a straight sentence. nothing flows, nothing rhymes, there’s no beat or metre. poetry is supposed to be sung, to be performed in bombastic verses. If you read this out to a crowd, it would stir no hearts. send no thrills down spines.

third. the title also being the first line of the poem. this isn’t a genuine criticism but it’s a recent trend that annoys me to no end nonetheless.

fourth. the subject matter is dull. to me poetry should never be or deal in the mundane. it should speak to greater forces, grander actions. gods. spirits. war. revolution. patria. love. death. not a conversation with a gas station cashier. I am not excited or enchanted by this. my soul is not stirred. i’m just bored. mundanity is the eternal enemy of beauty and art.

Incorrect! The HEIC did not operate in the Caribbean.

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

propaganda i’ll never fall for:

-travlot

-lottienat hate

Hoo boy fuck ok never actually posted nudes publicly before please be nice

seething and malding rn after reading a Jacobin article about Robespierre where they said he is “often invoked by liberals as a Stalin-like tyrant”

bitch he WAS a liberal. The entire revolution was the epitome of liberalism. I fucking hate how authoritarian communists like Jacobin have stolen its legacy (they even stole the name!)

they even bring up the “economic radicalism” of the Revolution - which was capitalism! it was radical because it overthrew the dominant feudal-mercantilist order. But irony is completely lost on communists because they’re braindead idiots.

this is like when Jack Horner dedicated his entire life to arguing that Tyrannosaurus is actually not a super cool predator but in reality a cringe gay scavenger because his favourite dinosaur was often portrayed as tyrannosaurs’ prey

(elite paleontology reference)

can we talk about how lottienats disregard travnat/ mistynat/travis/misty as characters for their ship? they're insanely important to nat. and disregarding them means disregarding nat's development, drives, and ideals. they literally changed nat's perspective and character. like do you even care about lottienat as characters? and the whole 'i hate men so i'll ignore him and misty's a freak so i'll ignore her' like way to strip natalie of possibly the narratively two most important people to her

and i fear lottienats have a super surface level understanding be another thing is like. whether you like travnat/travis or not he's important for her characters development and drive for her entire life. there's a reason why travis haunts her story, whether you like him or not you gotta understand why he's fundamental for her character
