are there any stories (real/fictional) where a relatively brutal invader was less brutal than the people they ousted and somehow they are considered liberating heroes, and the public is ok with their repressive policies because they are better than before. and the leader is trying to keep the evil lotd vibes going on but he’s beloved by the public.
feel like it would make for great comedy.

i like the saying
Some make the world better by their passing, others make the world better by their passing.
it’s vague and passive enough that you have plausible deniability, but the meaning is clear. plus I like the poetry of it.

tbf. those terms have evolved a lot since the French Revolution coined them.
and given how fluid they are, in some conversations they might mean pure culture war issues like “THERE’S A TRANS FLAG IN COMIC BOOK MOVIE!!!”.
but we can agree that in the bigger picture, left v right is about a top v bottom in power structures.
- Comment on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC’s Tech Scene Is Not 1 week ago:
sort of, except the right usually (fucking always) fights to protect the rich. while the left (no Democrats don’t fucking count) fight for equality and improving everyone’s lives.
so it is a left v right, you just renamed the categories.

- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 1 week ago:
didn’t mean only teach 3-4, just to not regularly use one projection. use a handful so no one instinctively learns to accept one.
even though you learned a lot of maps, it’s likely most maps you used when not learning about different projections were the same.
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 1 week ago:
you missed my point.
it works because the intended purpose is to shift blame and avoid any actual regulations/policies that will actually solve the problem.
they work because the intended purpose is to increase profits and fuck over everyone

i think we can look at ancient art, which sucks for me as I was in the Detroit institute of art and they have a huge African art exhibition but got too exhausted just before getting there and missed it.
exploding that exhibition might help shed light. because if old art portrays them with “non black” colours it would shed light into this question
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 1 week ago:
they 100% work.
that’s why they do it.
they make sure to shift the blame, to make sure the system remains unchanged and people who are profiting from what is basically omniside keep profiting from killing the planet and everyone in it.

i think the best solution (besides globes which are impractical on screens/posters) is having no standard, expose kids in school to 3 or 4 different projections so they learn there’s no standard and all protections are as valid and all with drawbacks and advantages.

- Comment on Nobody uses the white emojis 2 weeks ago:
ish, but somehow it ends up that yellow is white people.
look at the Simpsons for example, the default is yellow, but other skin colours are their normal colours, like black/asian.
same happened with legos.
it’s weird because any colour you choose for a “default” will end up mapped to the “cultural” default, rather than for everyone.
might be because I’m racist. but for me all the xkcd figures are white, even though they are not racialised.

- Comment on HYDRAULIC PRESS TIME 2 weeks ago:
next interesting question, how would a 3d object look if we map it to a 3d Hilbert curve, and unfold to a 2d hilbert curve.
would properties of the original object be visible, IE, if we use a sphere, would the projection look like a circle?
if the sphere is only a shell and it’s empty inside, would the Hilbert projection show it?
or would the information be scrambled beyond recognition?
- Comment on HYDRAULIC PRESS TIME 2 weeks ago:
actually.
the projection loses a lot of information. whole a compression technically maps a 3d object into a 2d space,
are there mathematical way to do a “squish” projection?
