Abusing institutional power to silence critics of genocide. That’s not a nice look.

A lot of the left always knew that academia and university were inherently political and not “pure truth” or “pure science” as people idealise them to be.

I hope those who would always argue that academia is pretty much perfect are now taking note.

Lmao. When I lived in Austria I remember I chilled with a friend and he let me take a couple sips from his Beer.

The next day he asked me to wire him 0.3 euro for half the beer 😭.

I just told him next beer is on me.

Well… I don’t live in the US. I live in Europe.

this is exactly what talking to basically anyone about your struggles as a disabled person feels like;

“oh but havent you tried yoga” “I think I know some essential oils that could help you” “You need to workout more to make your body strong” (Me who has a mitochondrial/energy production disease 😭) “Trust me if you eat quinoa and supplements vitamins youll be back to health in no time”

Can’t people, just… offer sympathy. Why are they so entrenched with the idea they will know the magical solution to an illness 80 years of research hasn’t found a useful treatment or management strategy for yet. As if I hadn’t spent months in denial trying out bullshit treatments when I first became ill and lost much of my body’s functioning.

I think this meme would look less cool if you replaced it with a man, but on I’m board.

Adding signature from Nantes

Isn’t that exactly what I said?

I said people “pretend” he didn’t do it. Not they “believe” it.

The point is a sort of doublethink.

Where in private you celebrate Luigi for what we think he did. But in Public we pretend he didn’t do it to help create a narrative to protect him from the police state.

I was shocked when I visited the US and people actually occasionally just threw stuff on the ground without a second thought.

In my country you’d get so many bad stares from bystanders if you did that lol. I once got yelled on by an old women because I accidentally put my PET bottle in the general bin.
