The characters in Earthsea are wonderful. I feel like I've come to know them. I'm reading The Other Wind and im not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to anyone. I'm definitely going to write for this world when I'm done with the book.

if a muslim immigrant wrote an article stating he wanted to rape british schoolchildren (as liddle did) the press now praising liddle would be outraged. not on behalf of any potential danger to children, though, they don't care about that. they'd be outraged at the writer not knowing his place

it is more desirable to them that rod liddle beat his pregnant partner than if he had not. they like him more for it, because it reinforces their hierarchies more. men over women, adults over children, etc. it is comforting for them to see their hierarchy play out true

the mainstream press praising rod liddle in death are not unaware he was a bigoted pedophile, they like him for it. the people in their in-group, at the top of their hierarchy, getting away with crimes signals that the world is in order. it is a moral good, to them. the bigger the crimes the better

And before you say “oh sooz you’re just jealous, if you were a billionaire you’d want to keep your money too” and THAT’S TRUE because when you become a billionaire your brain instantly fills with worms and sick.

"But if you abolish billionaires what is the motivation for growth?! This will prevent growth!" Good, capitalism is a death cult and it's still less money for rape islands.

It's weird when people bristle at the idea of abolishing billionaires. Are you a billionaire? Is your mum one? Why do you care? It would be good to abolish billionaires. More money for public services, less money for them to buy rape islands.

I, a liberal, am deeply upset by the death of Rod Liddle. I may not have agreed with his vile misogyny, extreme transphobia, racism, questionable sexual admissions, spiteful performativism, brutal rhetorical grandstanding, violent physical abuse of women, and rancid discriminatory politics, but...
