one of the many things that drives me up the wall about reyl0s is the way they pretend like they predicted everything that happened in TLJ. How quickly they forget that it ended the exact opposite way they were all predicting. Kylo turning back to the light in TLJ was the cornerstone of every reyl0 theory right up until the premiere confirmed that he didn’t. Then they quickly shifted their goalposts yet again and now they are pretending like they’ve always insisted that he wouldn’t turn until 9

RJ trolled a lot of people but he trolled Reylows the hardest and they don’t even get it smh

the nazi existence is already an atack because the ideology is monstruous and we already saw what happens when they have plataform…

The fact that individual hateful cranks exist may be an inevitability. The fact that they have always had social backing in the form of aggressive assimilationist and racist pressure against minorities is awful. The fact that they are being emboldened, getting organized, and gaining political currency is an immediate threat.

Yeah after everything that’s happened I’m no longer against punching Nazis. Like please make sure they’re actually a Nazi first and not just someone you disagree with but then please punch them/report them/call the cops on them/yell at them/punch them harder. And I don’t know about you but I feel like Nazis are getting way easier to spot.

They’re becoming bolder, which means they feel more comfortable about declaring what they believe and who they intend to destroy. Why wouldn’t they, when tacit approval of their ideas comes from the very top?

Oh, Prince of Egypt. While this is more the source material’s fault than anything, I remember feeling highly fucked up about the movie presenting the mass murder of children (by God) as anything other than horrendously evil.

There’s a fundamental difference between human beings as moral agents choosing to do evil, which is what the Egyptians did when they killed the Hebrew infants, and universal laws coming around inexorably to harm innocents, which was the Tenth Plague when God killed the Egyptian firstborn.

Moses knew what was coming and entreated Rameses to free the slaves precisely to avoid the deaths of innocents. Innocents were already suffering, something Moses wanted to stop, and as far as I know this is a natural extrapolation from Jewish tradition and theology which acknowledge and grieve that suffering and death.

Or, to quote a passage I just read today (this is from the prologue of The Stone Sky, the third book of the Broken Earth trilogy, but it’s not an actual spoiler and can apply to all three books):

Say nothing to me of innocent bystanders, unearned suffering, heartless vengeance. When a [community] builds atop a fault line, do you blame its walls when they inevitably crush the people inside? No; you blame whoever was stupid enough to think they could defy the laws of nature forever. Well, some worlds are built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares. Don’t lament when those worlds fall. Rage that they were built doomed in the first place.
