Politically, I identify as a socialist and an anti-monarchist, although I find communism interesting and support many aspects of it. I’m also very interested in the French Revolution, and within that I’d identify myself as a Robespierrist jacobin.

dni if…
You support israel or a ‘two state solution’ (it’s the same thing), you’re a bigot, you hate on actors due to the characters they play, you break boycotts/strikes, you support the existence of a monarchy, you refuse to educate yourself on past or present events, you harass people over ships, you like marie antionette/romanticise her (is this petty? maybe, but i’m soooo sick of her fangirls defending her)i for the most part believe in read what you want to read, write what you want to write, but if you write smut about kids you should probably be on a watchlist, especially if it’s rpf. i don’t think harassing people online gets people anywhere, but some people need to understand that writing about something ≠ condoning something, but writing cp is a different matter?? and the people who do ship stuff like this need to respect people’s boundaries and not take the piss out of people who are uncomfortable with things. there’s a block button. for the love of god, everyone should use it
