  • the world was flat until numenor made war on the undying lands. at that point, numenor sank and the world was made round and the undying lands were placed somehow outside them, so that elves could still sail west along the straight way and get there, but everyone else just sailed west around the globe.

    later, tolkien changed his mind about a lot of this and played with it, trying to turn it into an always roundworld (scientifically accurate myth was his goal at this point) but couldnt really figure out how it’d work and he was old and then he died









  • ok, i’ll try to explain what should be blindingly obvious. no real reform (yes, not even reform) will come from bernie and aoc. even if they were sincere, their party would ratfuck them, and neither of them will ever say that the future does not lie with the democratic party.

    they’ll collect people who want change into a movement and then funnel that movement back into the party, telling them to vote for the reanimated corpses the democrats eventually pick.

    they’ll do this because this is what they’ve always done.

    and also, they’re both supporters of US imperialism abroad.

    this is the real world. this is why it’s so pathetic that you’re still letting them pull this shit.








  • a lot of the people who did the counterrevolution in the soviet bloc were neither nazis or nor cia stooges. they were simply naive idiots who fell for western propaganda. they genuinely believed they’d get western social democracy, which in their understanding was everything communism was, but people were also richer and could travel to the west.

    they had no understanding of

    • western european social democracy was only possible on imperial superprofits
    • western european social democracy was already on the way out in the late 80s
    • western european social democracy only happened because porky was terrified of the soviet bloc (the very thing these people were dismantling)

    they were also incredibly treatlerized, equating blue jeans with freedom.

    they’d grown up on radio free europe and believed it all.
