About immigration, liberals are fucking idiots.

Simply telling people that immigration is great and if they don’t like it they are evil racists is not even the worst of it.

What is the worst is insisting that immigration will not have consequences and that it “should not.” If the consequences are that people will be more distrustful, more likely to elect fascists, Nazis or similar people, and become less likely to do sane and sensible things — this is all still a consequence of immigration.

Unlike a whole lot of liberals, and perhaps the majority of them, I care about what happens in the real world and not in my damnn fantasyland.

I was done with conservative fantasyland a long time ago. Now, I’m done with the liberal version, too.

No path so I will create the path.

Elizabeth Olsen Calls Out Empire Magazine for Photoshopping Her Face on Cover: โ€˜Does This Look Like Me?โ€™

What’s weird about this one and most of those Photoshop jobs is that Olsen actually looks much, much worse in the photoshopped version. I thought the idea was to make people look more attractive? Olsen not only doesn’t look like herself, she looks gaunt and pinched, like she just tasted some really bad kimchi or something.

There was one magazine in the grocery store with Alicia Vikander on the cover. She’d been so photoshopped she was barely recognizable. Why would you do this to anyone, but particularly her? She’s already very beautiful with no makeup. You’re not improving her by making her look any different because part of what is appealing about people is their particularity and even their flaws, not some android version of themselves (very appropriate for Vikander).

Elizabeth Olsen herself is kind of unusual looking, and that’s part of what makes her interesting. That’s one of the reasons why she was picked to play the Scarlet Witch, after all. It doesn’t hurt that she’s actually a pretty good actress, too.

(Here’s another terrible photoshop job, this time with men.)
