as a socialist, I fucking love old socialist propaganda. I love how completely direct it is because of how little time it had to develop. Capitalist propaganda is like Bioshock Infinite or The Avengers or something. Socialist propaganda is like “The Glorious People’s Chefs and Waiters Traverse Endless Difficulty to Produce Good and Correct Dishes for the People of Our Republic”. I think that’s fine.

the way historical geography is typically presented by western institutions is basically like a videogame where the greeks/romans and their successor states gradually unlock new areas of the map to explore, rather than a vast network of interconnected, shifting societies that have clung to one another with trade links, invasion routes and diplomatic agreements since before people knew how to work bronze and that still echo in the geo-politics of modern times
i mean the mediterranean aint exactly the south pacific guys. the phoenecians crossed that sucker in basically big fucked-up barrels that the greeks called tub-horses and still had time to invent the alphabet

see, in spanish the word for “genre” and the word for “gender” is the same: “género”. if you live in mexico and someone asks you what gender you are, you can be whatever i’m comfortable with. i’m a boy, or a girl. i’m a crime noir with a bit of spicy romance. i’m post-punk electronic music. i have trascended human perceptions of gender and am now a being of pure art
