Not a bad point. But I’d probably say that memes are created with the intent of their being shared wantonly. I might create some work without that intention and find it’s been fed to the GUHPUHTUH monster, tho.
“Just because historians say a thing I disagree with doesn’t mean I will stop claiming the opposite without addressing the content of their arguments.”
That’s some selective quoting you got there, fella 🤣
The extent to which suffragette militancy contributed to the eventual enfranchisement of women in 1918 has been debated by historians, although the consensus of historical opinion is that the militant campaign was not effective.[113] With the aim of gaining votes for women still unrealised by the outbreak of war in 1914, the WSPU had failed to create the kind of "national crisis" which might have forced the government into concessions.[114] Historian Brian Harrison has also stated that opponents to women's suffrage believed the militant campaign had benefited them, since it had largely alienated public opinion and placed the suffrage question beyond parliamentary consideration.[115]
I think evil has always had the upper hand in history, in some way or another. We didn’t get to this point on the backs of our best people.
What makes this new era so weird is that the bad guys have won so hard that it’s begun to trickle down to the stupidest, least creative, most inept evils in our society. They used to be the fodder we chewed through as a society to distract from the worse stuff higher up the chain.
I suspect it’s a doofus little dog stuck in a loop of trying to hop out of the box. I suspect if something more dramatic was happening it would be happening at the bottom of the box out of view.
