I spend a lot of time reading philosophy for fun and need a place to document quotes I find interesting. So, I think I’ll just shitpost quotes from the philosophy I’m reading.

If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch.
Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim – a tactic Trump has used on women for decades.
Disgusting.

According to YouGov, 40% of Britons have not read or listened to a book in the past year. Of the remainder, 22% read 1-5 books per year and 4% (me) read more than 50 books.

Under the Treason Felony Act 1848, it is a crime punishable by life imprisonment to intimidate parliament or encourage any foreign power to invade the U.K.
We should be applying this law to every traitor openly calling for the U.S to depose our democratically elected government.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

It does matter what Nigel Farage said and got up to in the 1980s
Nigel Farage's Dulwich College School Days Can't Be Ignored
By many accounts in the UK media lately, Nigel Farage was an unpleasant youth. Boorish, disruptive and iconoclastic, he’d spit across the railway station platform at his friends, drink behind the cricket pavilion and soak his mates in water fights in the lavatories.
