Thinking about how rave culture was shut down with extreme prejudice because kids getting together to drop e in giant warehouse cuddle puddles on the edge of the city where they weren't bothering anyone could not be tolerated, and now we have fent zombies littering urban cores with used needles and the only reaction from the authorities is safe injection sites and distributing narcan to first responders, but this can't even be chalked up to a more permissive attitude in general because it's not like they're letting kids have raves again.
Romantic love emerges in Middle Ages, but transforms in Romantic era. Courtly love has woman on high, love is an act of selfless devotion & servitude, the man must prove himself. Love of the Romantics is an act of egoism, it is unashamedly selfish, man devouring & woman devoured.
Courtly Love is fundamentally Christian & feminine in character, it is about submission and through this submission attaining virtue. Romantic Love is Dionysian, it is based in nature and impulse; danger is welcomed and through this a state of creative ecstasy achieved.
⚡️🚨 Naval Force of the Revolutionary Guard announces the closure of the strait of Hormuz:
In our previous statement, we clarified that foreign intervention and the illegal determination of ship routes in the Strait of Hormuz would lead to our decisive action and would hinder the increase of navigation traffic in the Strait.
A few hours ago, these warnings were ignored, and at the instigation of foreign parties, several ships attempted to sail in the unauthorized route, disregarding our warnings and reminders of the necessity to correct the course and adhere to the authorized route.
Consequently, one of the ships, which endangered maritime security by disabling its systems, was subjected to warning shots, leading to its immobilization.
As a result of this incident, and due to the emergence of this unstable security situation caused by illegal foreign intervention, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice, and until American interventions in this region cease, and no ship will be allowed to pass through it.
Secondly, if the aggressive enemy makes a mistake and launches a new aggression against us under the pretext of this incident which it caused itself, we will respond with force, and we will target the enemy's new bases in the region.
The countries that allowed the American-Zionist enemy to enter their territories bear responsibility for the consequences of this intervention.
And victory is from God alone, the Almighty, the Wise.

This is literally just communism. I'm not just talking about illegal alien amnesty or defunding the military. I'm talking about getting rid of the Senate and independent executive and judiciary.
Communists do not believe in separation of powers, not even the weak separation that exists in parliamentary democracies like the U.K. The ideal Marxist system of government is the "highest organ of state power" (or "supreme state organ of power"), a parliament that combines legislative, executive, and judiciary functions. Marx based this on the Paris Commune, which merged all three functions into a single council, and argued that having an independent executive branch (even a legislatively-derived executive like a prime minister) and judiciary would enable capitalists to retain a foothold in the government. This is combined with bans on political participation by non-communist parties.
Every communist state is organized around the unity of power. China's presidency is a figurehead position; Xi Jinping's power is derived from his position as the CCP's general secretary and the standing committee of China's legislature, the National People's Congress. Yes, China has an elected legislature, but it meets infrequently and the only parties allowed to exist are in alliance with the CCP. There are no brakes on any of these entities' powers. North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and so forth are organized on the same principles. The Soviet Union was organized on the unity of power principle; Soviet citizens were allowed to vote (and indeed encouraged to; party functionaries would visit sick people to ensure they could cast a ballot), but the only candidates allowed to run were Communists or communist "independents." There was also no secret balloting; you were technically allowed to write in a vote, but since the normal voting procedure just consisted of taking a pre-filled ballot and putting it in the ballot box, everyone would see you writing in the name of a different candidate and you would be punished.
The separation of powers in the American system is annoying, but it's also a hard brake on libtardery. Is it annoying that lower courts can screw with Trump's executive orders? Yes. Is it annoying that the Senate can infinitely punt the SAVE Act with parliamentary arcana? Yes. But these structures also prevent Democrats from going full hog with their insane ideas. Biden had to pare back his Build Back Better plans after being unable to pass them through an evenly-divided Senate. Mitch McConnell blocked all of Obama's judicial appointees during the last two years of his presidency---including, most famously, Merrick Garland---enabling Trump to fill all these empty seats during his first term. Those judges are why Trump 2.0 is far more effective. The relatively small amount of Biden-appointed judges causing problems is because the Democrats only had full control of the Senate for the last two years of his term (the 50-50 split from 2021 to 2023 gave Democrats overall control, but required them to split committees evenly with Republicans). And of course, foreign policy is the sole prerogative of the executive branch. If these constitutional walls didn't exist, we'd look like Britain or Canada.
All of this needs to be articulated to normies. The DSA is quite literally communist to its core.
