See also [Eric] Berne's Law: "The basic existential position of human beings is, 'I am blameless.'"

:/

Berne also succinctly described, in his textbook for professionals working with the Transactional Analysis school of psychology/psychiatry, one of the commonest and most toxic of human ego-states: the "Little Fascist."

A fascist may be defined as a person who has no respect for living tissue and regards it as his prey. This arrogant attitude is no doubt a relic of the prehistory of the human race, [when] ruthlessness meant efficiency and greed was motivated by hunger. But as the human mind and brain evolved through natural selection, these qualities were not bred out… Ruthlessness developed into cruelty, and greed into exploitation and theft. The small fascist in every human being is a little torturer who probes for and enjoys the weakness of his victims. …He who pretends that these forces do not exist becomes their victim.

It was a wake-up call when I read it the first time in the '70s. It remains one, day by day, this year.

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION

I'm tired of seeing people recommend famous podcasts, so I decided to share some that I don't see people talking about in here.

NEW YEAR'S DAY

Another Lauren Shippen project! If you liked the Bright Session, you'll like this one even more. (Briggon Snow and Andrew Nowak together serving cunt?? C'mon, it's already a masterpiece)

New Year's Day is about two magicians who become immortal after a magic performance. They meet each other every 13 years, in New Year's, to catch up on their life.

Very flirty, very gay.

New episodes every New Year!

MEMORY LANE

Alex never met her father, and her mom, Cassie, never bothered telling her about him.

Until Cassie signs both of them in a study about sharing memories, where Cassie wants to share her happiest moments, the moment she was pregnant of Alex. So they go on a road trip in order to activate those memories.

But something doesn't seem right... Alex starts to remember things her mom doesn't. Paranoia makes both of them doubt their minds, but they need to trust each other to run from danger.

Two seasons in total!

THE ROAD OF SHADOWS

Daniel had been dealing with the shadows alone for a long time. Running from a city to another, hiding from his past.

Daniel crosses patch with Amber (voice by Marta da Silva... Y'know, Mariana from Sherlock & Co.), who is investigating her sister disappearance. Together, they go on a dangerous path, trying to find answers about those shadows.

Season three this year!

One thing I really enjoy about this podcast is that it feels you're playing an RPG. In a sense of the characters stopping and asking each other what's the best solution, which strategy to use... I think it is cool that they don't have all the answers, and sometimes they do dumb shit.

STYX

I fucking love detective stories like Rex Rivetter, Juno Steel, Malevolent... They all have their quirks, but this one is so unique!

Blake Wayman had experienced death in a brutal way. A explosion killing him and his wife.

The worst part? He didn't stay dead.

He's now a P.I. in a wheelchair with a gift, he can access the world of the dead, the Underworld City, the purgatory. He searches for his lost love and investigates cases in the hope of bringing justice beyond the grave.

This story brings the cliche of the genre, but it doesn't stay trapped on this cliche. An amazing cast and badass characters.

It's hard to find a detective story that isn't misogynistic, and the girls aren't just femme fatale or pure innocent. In this? Every female character have their time to shine!

THE TECHNOMANCY PROJECT

This... This become my favorite podcast.

Jason Fenix is saved from a cult and now is working for a type of MIB but for supernatural stuff.

Without much spoiler, this story has incredible characters arc. The writers aren't afraid of showing their characters doing terrible choices. Their actions have consequences and they learn and grow from their mistakes.

If you want really complex characters, found family, openly queer characters, and morally grey situations, you'll love it just as much as I am.

Season 1 is kinda outdated since they changed a lot of the voice actors, but the story is still the same. We're currently in season 3.

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*

i know what i’m doing dw

Keep in mind I only know like. Two Greek gods by name. Homer is one of them, and he was good friends with Odysseus I think?

Wait fuck Homer isn’t a god he wrote the fucking thing. Fuck

POST CANCELLED NO ONE LOOK

desperately google searching for “greek gods to pray to when people notice your online idiocy”

You're failing.

You don’t think I know that, God of Death? Can I pray to you so I can DIE ALREADY

Pluto is Roman, not Greek

Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.

I set up my own house made of sticks and it has promptly fallen on me

HE’S NOT EVEN REAL?????*

I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said “Oh you think you know? Check this shit” and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe

Hephaestus doesn't have a tower, he lived in a volcano

FINE THEN. BIG FUCK OFF VOLCANO. WHATEVER

Achievement Unlocked:

Lightning Bait

You're basically doing the post equivalent of standing out in a field during a storm with a ten-foot copper pole, you better hope Zeus is busy hiding from Hera.

FUCK'S SAKE NOT AGAIN

I need you to name every greek God you know and what they are for plz

For science

OKAY FINE HERE'S WHAT I'VE FOUND

  • HERMES: DA FUNNY ONE
  • ZEUS: DA LIGHTNING (NOTE: THOUGHT HE WAS NORDIC, FATHER OF THOR)
  • POSEIDON: DA SEA ONE
  • HEPHAESTUS: DA FIRE/FORGING/STEEL ONE
  • APHRODITE: DA HOT ONE
  • KRATOS: GOD OF WAR
  • HADES: DA HELL ONE. ROGUE LIKE
  • APOLLO: DA DODGEBALL/PROPHECY ONE

ares is the god of war, not kratos

WHY THE FUCK DOES THE GAME CALL HIM GOD OF WAR THEN

I can't believe this post is less than 24 hours old, it feels like something out of classic tumblr lore

Rat adjacent detector detector not detected

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me

Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.

Left this in the notes

"People are reading too much and talking about books too much" is the kind of problem you want society to have.

people are like “awww I can’t get pregnant so you shouldn’t get an abortion” and “awww my whole family is dead so you shouldn’t be no contact with your evil toxic family” get a grip. get several grips. pull yourself together.

it’s so hard to not be like “I’m sorry for your loss. Frankly, I wish it was my loss and not yours. LMFAO.”
