  • I’d like to read or watch one of those stories, just once, so I can decide if I actually like it. Cause it’s a cheap way of showing how a character has grown, they started off wanting revenge and now they’ve transcended that and see how far they’ve gone on their arc? I liked the bit in Princess Bride so maybe it’d be good in general








  • It drives me crazy cause operating within the system isn’t going to get you power either!! Look at allowable contours of Israel-Gaza-Lebanon-Iran right fucking now - at one end genocide but feel bad to the other genocide by don’t feel bad. And the campus protestors, bless them, are mocked for “critiquing power” instead of trying to seize this rickety ass system that a thousand ways of moulding or shuddering YOU if you try to enter and compete within it.






  • An invasion by the west might’ve made it necessary to do stuff like support the Greek communists and would’ve foreclosed making a deal with the capitalist imperialist west - you don’t get “peaceful coexistence” as a possibility when they’re coming to kill you right now. And the soviets had been fighting for like 30 years at that point, they were ready to hunker down and have some peace after a generation of struggle. But the exigency of war would’ve made it so that maybe they lose the immediate industrial output of the US but they gain the ability to flip this invasion into a general global classwar back when the west had way more sympathizers with the Soviets and the 2nd red scare hadn’t happened (and also the complete institutional failure of capitalism as a going concern in the 30s was still quite fresh in peoples’ living memories along with violent labor struggle that the people won)
