Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.
gotta give this a reread but yes orwell wanted to express that revolution as a concept is a reactionary solution to the oppression incited by the ruling class while in the same vein acknowledging that there is no right or wrong way to protest the actions of the 1% BECAUSE they hold the power in the dynamic regardless of what action is taken.
the only way to take efficient action against such a force is to make the ruling class the minority and then pray to the heavens that the masses and majority may persevere over that minority. but we may not ever truly see that in full effect because unfortunately, if we didn't have any asshole 1%-ers in the world the good would simply be balanced out with some other type of evil. yk the whole, yin-yang, dark and light, order and chaos spiel ur gonna hear from me every damn time.
very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them
and yet it did, so i'll make my peace with the fact that at least i did learn something, therefore making it all not a completely useless experience.
i cannot keep having the same conversations--
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
