blue in the middle makes sense because the background is blue, if it were on top or bottom it would be practically invisible.

i want to believe but your source is an image of text devoid of context. where did this figure come from?

edit: dug and found it! source is alt national park service and it appears to be based on activist headcounts!

You don’t get too much further left than Tim Walz.

yeah i'm sure you have informed and insightful things to say and engaging with you will be very productive. get a clue. 🙄

iirc "no shirt no shoes no service" was originally to keep out impoverished black people, and was later revived to keep out hippies. it's not a law most places, it's a store policy.

except OP didn't say anything like that, and the entire comment is this user pointlessly beating a strawman just to stir shit and provoke infighting. don't be a yes-man for that shit.

yall a generation ago phones were tethered to the wall and you physically couldn't take them with you. they still managed to protest.

leave. that. shit. at. home.

it's always morally right to have better taste than that racist, classist, sexist, queerphobic, pro-establishment hackjob of a series. you owe yourself better than to put that crap in your head.

uh... did we read the same books?

house elves are a literally and explicitly a chattel slave race.

the sole character who goes "hey slavery bad" and tries to do something about it (Hermione) is made out to be an ass for bothering to advocate for them, both by the other characters and the narration itself.

the one house elf who even wants freedom (Dobby) is made out to be a crazy person for it.

THE "HERO" (Harry) INHERITS AND KEEPS A SLAVE (Kreecher).

and it's supposed to be fine because "see they like being slaves, it's what's best for them". which is literally what u.s. slave owners used to tell themselves, that it was morally right and good for the slaves.

Harry Potter is absolutely and unequivocally pro-slavery on the surface.

that's one item from the list you're moaning about being "blatantly untrue" that is not only absolutely true, but so blatant that any idiot can pick up on it. the narrative clubs you over the head with it.

if you bother applying a VERY FUCKING TINY amount of critical thought to your analysis the classism, blood purity, misogyny, and more come to light. it helps to understand a few things about these issues in the real world, and it's not hard to understand those either provided you stop assuming you know all there is to know and take your fingers out of your ears.

how about instead of just knee-jerking about books you clearly didn't bother thinking about beyond "yeah, go good guys!" you try to understand why people say these things are in there. because all of them totally are, they're shitty books stuffed chock full of shitty worldviews and shitty bigoted messaging, thinly veiled by shitty plot contrivances because she is a shitty person and a shitty writer to boot.

inner work is just like, identifying your flaws and working to correct them. therapy shit.

psychedelics (which are drugs, yes) can be a very potent and most useful tool for the first parts of this process, and it can be quite an experience.

many people mistake this experience for some kind of spiritual enlightenment and assume they're done growing for having had it.

as an aside, clinical application of psychedelics is being taken MUCH more seriously these days, it is foolish of you to be so dismissive of drugs just for being drugs. someone has done you a great disservice.
