paranoia
And right on cue. There’s going to be another movie which whitewashes someone who murdered us and portrays us as villains when we hit back. It’s deffo a problem in Britain and you have how the police, media and government tolerate or *are* Nazis. Granted we get off light compared to Blacks and Latinos, but why do I get the feeling that there’ll be a lot more of us dead before the decade ends?
Oh yeah, people are sharing Beatles albums on YouTube again. This means I can play Beatles albums, look at photos of Ann Arbor, and weep copiously...
... and of course when I say that Here There and Everywhere starts up and I’m this close to a crying jag at work.
Seriously I wanted to leave A^2 so badly when I left, what happened?
politics and old discontents
And of course *my* natural inclination is to accuse others of anti-semitism, as you don’t hear about the Holodomor without Kaganovich’s ethnicity being screamed at you; but Trotsky was instrumental in putting down these earlier uprisings. Which is why I think here it’s the right wing bias of downplaying leftists plus the left wing lionizations of both Lenin and Trotsky.
politics and old discontents
So today I found out about the Tambov Revolution and associated left wing uprisings (other than the Makhnovists whom I’d already known about) against the Soviet government under *Lenin*.
These were very much tied to murderous grain collection policies. And yet I’ve heard of the Holodomor, not these. Are we getting a filtered view of things, as the chief villains of the Holodomor are already established as bad guys, and their victims had no socialist/anarchist ties?
Will not mimic cutting downward at footsoldiers while listening to Poledouris’ “Riders of Doom.” #montjoie
there are times when I can't easily step out of the depression and self hate, yet not really sunk into it, where it's just *annoying* to be walking around as this bundle of apparently easily pressed issues.
there are similarly times when I wish my intestines worked flawlessly.
This morning, so far, has been a combination of both.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
