This is what gets me about the orientalists. In the west, we have religious conservatives claiming to be the official voice of our culture, too. We don't want to be oppressed by these people, but we should support these identical bastards oppressing people in other countries??
La primera parte del cómic habla de su vida siendo de la clase urbana irani, estando en un ambiente intelectual y en oposición al régimen del Sha y posteriormente al régimen islámico. Régimen islámico el cual mató a su tío comunista. ¿Habéis leído el cómic acaso?
the most fascinatingly irritating thing abt pushback to stuff like decolonial game studies and "woke academic nonsense" is this dishonest thing ppl do where they act like we're suggesting/outright declaring that video games are the reason for colonialism, not the other way around
Objectively better definition than "Imperialism is when big country does the same thing as my favorite big country"
Lenin's definition of imperialism was meant to absolve the USSR of giving up Russia's territorial claims obtained via conquest. It excludes most empires in history
Let's be so clear here. This is a woman seeking to harass and punish a child she has never met for doing absolutely nothing wrong. It's psycho behavior that should be ejected from society entirely. The lawsuit may be directed at the school, but the child is the target.
This was what happened to a Romania survivor of prostitution & trafficking, and she also described other victims, including the brutal femicide of a Ukrainian woman who resisted and fought back against those traffickers. To be continued...
@Crowversies Not really. A lot of overall critically well-regarded novels are said to have mediocre, "workmanlike" prose, that is made up by the story and themes. As long as it's functional and not straight up incompetent, it can detract, but not ruin the work.
@haalaphrodyke@JairDeLaRosaNa1 Even the mentally ill, at this point it's just Joker and like Scarecrow and Riddler, the rest are treated sympathetically.
He's not woke, but he's not automatically reactionary, it's not fascist to be against rich mafiosos.
@haalaphrodyke@JairDeLaRosaNa1 What are all the comics with Batman beating up poor people everyone is reading?
Like, outside of Arkham, that's just not a thing. The rare generic mooks are near always three-piece gangsters.
Still acting as if Batman is fascist is just silly and performative.
