  • From what I remember, what actually happened was there was a very shit racist meme circling around around when Obama was the president, and he had visited China and was acting “friendly” with Xi.

    In any case, the meme was basically Xi as Pooh and Obama as Tigger. Because of racism.

    The meme was banned because of the Obama Tigger thing. That was the big deal. Not Xi as Pooh.

    “Contrary to other parties of the left, MORENA has not sought to reduce inequality by increasing taxes on the wealthy. Instead, the party has focused on reducing the pay gap between lower-level employees and high-level government workers salaries, such as politicians and judges through austerity measures. The party announced support for a plan by López Obrador to cut salaries of higher-ranking public officials (including the President), lay off up to 70 percent of non-unionized federal workers, and reduce spending by cracking down on corruption and tax fraud. As Article 94 of the Mexican Constitution prohibits reducing the salary of judges at any time during their appointment in order to maintain judicial independence, judges on the Supreme Court took a 25% pay cut starting in 2019.”

  • I feel mostly very very similar. I also remember thinking as a I kid that I was a woman in my past life. And that everyone had a mix of “masculine” and “feminine” energy, but I was much more “feminine” energy (I was a kid so this was not influenced by new wave “female goddess energy” TikTok stuff at all, I even hard disagree with most of these types about what feminine and masculine energies even are). But I never fantasied or wished I was a woman. And I know this will sound ridiculous, but I think it’s basically because of Lord of The Rings. I loved Aragorn, Legolas and Sam so so much. To me they represented what was best in men, and I really was inspired by them. Aragorn made me want to forever have shoulder length hair and a beard.

    I did say I wasn’t doing to elaborate, but I mean of Caesar as a Kim il sung figure. Like he wasn’t the ONLY reason the apes managed to free themselves (no great men and all), but he still was extremely instrumental. And all apes respected him, like a leader, and respected his family. They followed him and were loyal to him. They had faith in him. Because he sacrificed so much for all of them. And they kept his memory alive, a memory of freedom and struggle, of loyalty. He represented that for them. The struggle to be be free. Winning that struggle.

    Like I had first watched the trilogy when I was younger, and when I rewatched it now the first thing that popped into my head after the movie was like: Caesar is a communist revolutionary, and these just showed how a “cult of personality” is naturally born from the struggle for freedom. Like wouldn’t you love and devote yourself to the person and their cause that freed you from torture, slavery, abuse? That freed all your friends and family??

    Please don’t take me seriously, I’m silly and high.
