I’m producing this theory of the signifier and the signified precisely to remind you of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

@M_I_W_2 So why is everyone acting confused as fuck as if they never seen a black person in uniform? Why are we not pulling the videos of the white girls or latinx boys? Im just getting really frustrated with the selective outrage

Why do yall never find the videos of the white service members?

@TullamoreJew_ The libs entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to problematize everybody, and nobody was going to problematize them
English
@TullamoreJew_ The leftists are trying to reclaim some of the 2010s dirtbag aesthetic after a decade of Woke acting like a scolding primary school teacher or some sort of bereavement councilor soured people to the project
They're both responses to the same thing

Is there a structural explanation for why (some) far left people are adopting words like ZOG and goycattle while the far right are talking about gaslighting and lived experience

Nabokov on reading Don Quixote (publ. 1605–15) in the mid twentieth century:
"He has ridden for three hundred and fifty years through the jungles and tundras of human thought – and he has gained in vitality and stature. We do not laugh at him any longer. His blazon is pity, his banner is beauty. He stands for everything that is gentle, forlorn, pure, unselfish, and gallant. The parody has become a paragon."

@Demon_Realms The Andals bringing Iron is their version of having dragons, basically

@Demon_Realms They communicate through coincidence/correspondence because that's how their tier of reality works

The Seven could be real, or at least the faith could be gesturing at some underlying reality, I think the dismissal of this possibility is partially because it's the medieval Christianity stand-in. (And the lack of obvious 'magic' ofc.)

@EJLibertad @Gimply32 @bloodonacross The Seven might be more like Tao or Logos, something closer to the fabric of reality itself than a being that answers prayers. Which would make them harder to perceive than other deities but not lesser. If anything they'd be ontologically prior to the likes of R'hllor.
English
One of the things I like about ASOIAF is that the faith of the seven is the least evil religion because it's the one that isn't real. All the real religions are some form of incredibly fucked up

@InLandGull @STORMWARA @nikicaga I haven’t read Malazan yet, just some excerpts here and there but yeah I agree
English
Well I have some bad news
duda@STORMWARA
i need a fantasy book as good as asoiaf i am having a reading slump
English
@FabTheWoker @STORMWARA @nikicaga Malazan is so much better than anything of Sanderson's that I've read
English
@STORMWARA @nikicaga Gene Wolfe gets close, LOTR gets close, some say Mistborn but the prose is underwhelming to say the least
English
this discourse is simply stress testing for woke 2.0. carry on.

@prettycritical She's only saying any of that shit because she sees it as a proxy war

“inconvenience is the price you pay to live in a society”
i agree! it is inconvenient to not listen to your music and your tiktoks whenever you want just because you forgot your headphones. but you have to do it because you are living in a society :)
#3 sisterwife but #1 in his heart@prettycritical
"the headphone police" girl if you don't stop acting like having to watch tiktoks without earbuds is oppression and turn your phone volume down💀

@sangrialover123 @filmbitten I like how everyone knows this is a lie but keeps playing Telephone with it because it's funny. A microcosm of this place.
English
@InLandGull @filmbitten Idk if its this series or the other big one by her where she has the Hand of the King because she thought it was an actual position and not something GRRM made up

@sangrialover123 @filmbitten That one's made up slander from booktok
