Fasci... I mean, "Revolutionary Leftists"/MLs: 'You can't run a campaign on "at least it's not that other guy!"' That other guy being someone who is openly spouting fascist rhetoric and openly plans to go against their stated goals and eat their faces.
Fasci... I mean, "Revolutionary Leftists"/MLs: 'You need to protest vote, not vote, or just go ahead and vote for the fascist because at least it's not that other guy!'
Then again, those people are now starting to openly say they want Trump in office, despite (or because of) his fascist, right-wing rhetoric.

Seeing so many tarot and astrology people doing 18+ readings but none say shit to them. Then when two adults are joking (like fr), y'all kids will have a problem. Like either remain a fucking minor and don't follow tarot at all or just accept that most tarot readers are adults here and are allowed to have adult jokes. Just because a blog is only doing tarot shit, doesn't mean they can't joke sometimes. Their skills,their content has nothing to do with what they joke about at times.

Witches are not and never were real
⚠DISCLAIMER I REGRET POSTING THIS BUT AM KEEPING IT UP BECAUSE WHY NOT⚠
I know what you're probably thinking "Duh, evryone knows that" and yeah i agree with that but people still act as if they were real and yes i know that they are jokeing i even think most of them are quite funny but i do have a problem with stuff like "Witches can't be straight lol" because WITHES ARE NOT REAL!
But why do i have such a problem with it, after all theyre just jokes and its not like its hurting anyone. Because of the witch hunts. If the witch hunts never happend i don't think i would be as annoyed about this as i am, i would probably just be like "Oh cool" but they did happen and they were horrible.
The smallest things where called witchcraft, kids where manipulated to think that their own mothers where witches, mothers got reported for being witches by their own children, those who where reported for witchcraft where painfully tortured until they admitted to a crime they did not and could not commit and they where murderd.
And maybe it doesn't matter now but if you imply that witches are/where real you are also implying that those crazy men who did this where right about something.
Im not saying that we should stop with storys about witches or to stop putting witches in media but i am getting really annoyed with the people who make jokes about witches as if witches are real.
(btw if you think the middle part is oddly specific its because that atually happend and those kids are my ancestors)

When We Stop Deceiving Ourselves
The trembling in my soul that began leading up to the observance of the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr has not yet stopped. I shuddered at the thought of hearing people who hated and still hate what Dr. King did to dismantle the capitalistic, white supremacist system that caused and still causes so many people to suffer offer flowery words of tribute. For what…

Ya know I feel like there's a shit ton of hyprocrisy going on when people compare RTD's writing and Moffat's on dw but nothing irks me more than when they say Moffat era made the doctor too important when he was portrayed as just a guy in RTD. Like. Are you fucking kidding me. Be for real.
In the GODDAMN first episode, one of the first thing we learn about the doctor is through Clive (rip) in that scene :
The Doctor is a legend woven throughout history. When disaster comes, he's there. He brings the storm in his wake and he has one constant companion.
ROSE: Who's that?
CLIVE: Death.
So yeah the Doctor is a Legend. Next, in New Earth he is called "the lonely God". Very normal guy core.
It gets worse, who could forget this wonderful speech in The Family of Blood ?
LATIMER: Because it was waiting. And because I was so scared of the Doctor.
JOAN: Why?
LATIMER: Because I've seen him. He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun.
DOCTOR: Stop it.
LATIMER: He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe.
DOCTOR: Stop it! I said stop it.
LATIMER: And he's wonderful.
The Next one is by Steven Moffat but crucially still during 10s era so STILL part of how the doctor was characterised. RTD approved you might say.
DOCTOR: Don't play games with me. You just killed someone I liked. That is not a safe place to stand. I'm the Doctor, and you're in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up.
(There is a pause, then the shadows withdraw.)
ANITA: You have one day.
I added it because I saw people act as if the Eleventh Hour's resolution with a doctor boast was completly out of character and not something he literaly did one series before.
Ok now for the real silly, that scene in Last of the Time Lords where the power of PRAYER turned 10 young and hyper powerful. For real. Yeah like a sort of Space Jesus.
Bonus: that part in Voyage of the Damned when he flied with two angels lifting him like ok lmao.
Those were just the ones I could remember out of the top of my head but "just a guy" my entire fucking ass. Go rewatch that show.
I feel like Moffat is often accused of turning the doctor into too much of an incredibly powerful figure not because he did it more than RTD but because he discussed the trope and as such put a lot of attention on it . All of those I pointed out in RTD are played incredibly straight but in Moffat's era the doctor's legend is a problem. It's the plot of the s5 finale, he became so big his ennemies allied. It's the reason he gets called out in "A good man goes to war"
RIVER: This was exactly you. All this. All of it. You make them so afraid. When you began, all those years ago, sailing off to see the universe, did you ever think you'd become this? The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name. Doctor. The word for healer and wise man throughout the universe. We get that word from you, you know. But if you carry on the way you are, what might that word come to mean? To the people of the Gamma Forests, the word Doctor means mighty warrior. How far you've come. And now they've taken a child, the child of your best friends, and they're going to turn her into a weapon just to bring you down. And all this, my love, in fear of you.
It continues in Asylum of the Daleks where Moffat tries to erase the doctor's legend and is concluded somewhat in s8 finale with the proposition that what the doctor actually is, is in fact an idiot.
DOCTOR: I really didn't know. I wasn't sure. You lose sight sometimes. Thank you! I am not a good man! I am not a bad man. I am not a hero. And I'm definitely not a president. And no, I'm not an officer. Do you know what I am? I am an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver. Just passing through, helping out, learning. I don't need an army. I never have, because I've got them. Always them. Because love, it's not an emotion. Love is a promise.
But nobody saying stuff like "Moffat made the doctor too important" ever watched Capaldi's era anyway so it's not like they would know.
