the bard in any party is great because everyone else is fighting to the death and they're just vibing
I was reading and like hmm I dunno which one am oh there it is.
You're both don't understand theory and are both liberals :marx:
Is there a Redwall to Fash pipeline?
Because Redwall is all about race science. How are mice inherently good and rats inherently evil even though they are basically the same thing. And it's not a herbivores vs. carnivore thing either becuase badgers and otters both eat meat and like badgers even eat mice, but they are good and weasels and foxes are bad.
Also the good creatures always call the bad ones vermin, even when their leader is a filthy little mouse. And everyone insist on separating the weasels type guys into their specific types like stoats, martens and ermines even though they all literally look the same and do the same stuff.
I am going to become the Gwen Snyder of Redwall and start writing unhinged twitter threats about this.
iirc, Outcast of Redwall deals with this issue and essentially comes down in favor of genetic determinism. Thinking back over it, the Redwall books (which I read til the pages were falling out of the bindings) had a bunch of :yikes: moments.
Plus rats are smart, affectionate, and help out distressed conspecifics while mice are heartless beady-eyed bastards.
How are mice inherently good and rats inherently evil even though they are basically the same thing.
The children's series The Underland Chronicles explicitly examines and refutes this, it's actually full of really good and materialist takes rebutting "good vs evil" narratives, war, and great man theory. By the same author as the Hunger Games, but this is her better work by far IMO.
i'm also hedgehog gang and would like to subscribe to this aesthetic
Too old for this shit but got nowhere else to be
I feel very seen
:chomsky-yes-honey:
The squirrel. If we have to have a war, I'm using it as an excuse to make you listen to my shitty music. If we have to have a party, same.
