Yeah, Natalie White. She's genuinely one of the best winners, but she wasn't what Mark Burnett wanted the show to be - he didn't want the social-strategy game, he wanted alpha male politics - so he spiked her in the edit, depicted a guy she trounced as the "real" genius. But yeah. Love the building

Oh, cool! I think one of my favorite Survivor winners - someone wrongly screwed by Mark Burnett's politics before the bastard was torched - is from Van Buren.

People really do have the Bernays theory about voters, right? Like, that they're stupid sheeple (UNLIKE ME, THE PROTAGONIST) and there can't be any winning them over on policy, just jangle dem keys (BUT THIS DOESN'T WORK ON ME, THE PROTAGONIST)

I mean - and I say this as a Christian - I believe St. Paul would be the most irritating guy alive.

Another Christian friend called him one of "history's most annoying people."

More and more I'm not happy with just "stay off Twitter" because there's this implication he's a Normal Dude who got corrupted, and like...he's not going back to normal. It's like the UK judge who had the Nazi bomb guy read the classics. He doesn't need reform, he needs removal.

This is not about filmmaking and this is not metaphorical. Like, for #24? There is a bear behind you, always, 100%. It moves when you turn around. We all can see it, all of us, and I'm the only one brave enough to let you know about it. Right now I see it behind you - it's smiling. Not a good smile

You must only use Investor-approved spaces. If your space does not grow without exception, it isn't Investor-approved. The Investors know what's best for you. You must love the Investors. They will attempt to milk you. You must let them. If your space is not Investor-approved, they will fix it.

If you think that Christofascists do see other Christians as part of a big tent/not worthy of killing, or that other Christians either can't or aren't meaningfully opposed to them and their policies I legit don't see how you can be doing religious studies

While I'm not Catholic, Martin is...I'd say he's the most notable pro-LGBT Catholic priest, and Leo choosing him to talk to over any American priest/bishop (many of whom Francis/Leo fucking hated in the most catty ways) is definitely interesting. But he better hit the gas pedal. All or nothing.

Same thing he said about the Democrats. It's honestly kind of insulting that this shitbag just copy-pastes the same racism playbook for every country. (Granted, this is because racism and white nationalism has really only one idea, and it's bad - but...yeah. How can anyone think he's smart?)
