A couple of months ago I wrote this (sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/10/misa...) while trying to set down my more pessimistic thoughts about society. So you can imagine how embarrassed I am now that Your Party are completely proving me wrong!

admittedly it's been years and nobody has figured out that the Australian PM is just the former Australian PM in slightly different glasses

When no one responds all they're left with is themselves and their deeds. A terrible fate.
In related news, a bunch of transphobes have been trying to start an argument with me for the last couple of days and why would I engage in that when I could do pretty much anything else instead?
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

"I welcome their hatred"
The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Have we gotten to the part where the White women educate the Asians about internalized racism, which is the only explanation for criticizing an autocratic government that isn't White.

I always enjoy that part. I feel so much safer thanks to their heroic ability to see the world as binary.

A lot of white people on here are realising that China and Hong Kong are real places and not some fiction that you can project your wants and desires onto.

seeing the latest collection of posts from people projecting their perception/wishes of what fallout/consequences for the Wang Fuk Court fire should be, that are *completely disconnected* from actual reality on the ground here & i just got April 2020 flashbacks & AM I TRAPPED ON A MÖBIUS STRIP? FFS

It's Orientalism but with a left coat of paint.
While Hongkongers are mobilizing to get beds, student's textbooks, curtains, baby formulas, missing pets to survivors of the Tai Po Hung Fuk fire, western-centric discourse are quick to paint us as "backwards, unscientific, unsafe"...

and I have zero patience for this racist bs.

I think you all do not understand how fundamentally racist the usage of China as a blank slate is. It is profoundly orientalist and unaddressed as a problem

one reason I became an avid reader is that at every stage I had literate adults as models to emulate. I think we've lost the idea that you should strive not just to read but to become a well-read person, and that's why so many university students are now shameless about their unwillingness to read.

The late president, who resigned in disgrace in 1974, actually wasn’t a crook, pundits on the right argue.
