The ideals behind white supremacy are inherently violent towards non white individuals. The concept of race itself was created so that white supremacy could exist.

European powers were conquering and enslaving, while most people were of christian faith. Which at the time condemned unequal treatment. The concept of race came into play as a propaganda tool. To support the european slave trade and colonization of african countries. Psuedoscience was pushed out to make people believe that some races were naturally superior to others so therefore treating them unequal is ok. That's why race exists. That's why white supremacy as an ideology is inherently one of violence. Every white supremacist group at some point attacked or attempted to terrorize a community of minorities.

We bring in immigrants because we need labor and then we either kick them out or put them on the chopping block for some atrocity.

America is rooted in white supremacy and that is exactly why minoroties have such a long and continued history of suffering. Its terrorism. Why do we not treat it as such?

We are too late to avoid the effects of climate change. This heatwave that's happening is a precursor to the el ninño.

Did you just call me Bruce, because my name is killer

Gabriella=sophia

RAshId/raSHID

Regina

Lewis/Louis

Lestat's entire music endeavor is under "false" identity. Exploring his own identity in the same strain.

Armand/Arun

Lestat's body double

Not to mention the body theif has been present in the show since its inception. I wonder why it's being used so much.

I'm gay and currently debating other gay men on if alot of us suffer from sex addiction. The defense is generally "if the straight men could hook up with someone different every day then they would."

I'm saying its sex addiction others are saying its boys being boys.

I struggle with self help books so I prefer to learn from stories. I'm trying to learn about love and yearning and devotion.

So if you can recommend some books that taught you about love I'd love to get into romance novels.

I think its easy to forget that these are people on our screen. Because they are in this colorful hyper organized game show. We watch the show as a form of entertainment but movie night does something different.

They turn the lights down sit on the couch and watch what we see. Suddenly we are able to directly relate to these people as we are watching them watch themselves. The second hand embarrassment, the injustice, the lying, manipulation, the gaslighting, the negative comments. KC and sincere both being forced to acknowledge every side comment. Every choice that they made and it's thrown in their face how they operate because they do it with no actual recognition. KC doesn't think KC is a coward, but the clips present him that way. Scincere thinks he lives up to his name, but the clips remind him that he doesn't. The way they shrink in on themselves while they are watching that guilt and embarassment is so real to facing your lower self. It was palpable.

My heart hurt for melanie she's trying so hard not to get crazy and I've been there before. A sweet talking man is worst enemy lol.

Trinity has a tendency to escalate and I'm noticing that she's kind of present during alot of the explosive arguments. I enjoy watching her but she definitely shows her age during the more serious conversations. Part of me feels like if she didn't speak up during kc and aniya's fall out it probably would have been more cordial.

Carl is overstimulated lol

This season feels so spiritually enhanced to me.

Like she pops up in little ways but I need full on dad and daughter moment.

Like on a spiritual level. They are going to win

But gahdamn girl this man literally told you that he wants to be the prize. Why would you chase after that?

Corbin dates for status, looks, and usage. He never liked kenzie. Kenzie made herself sexually available and that is why corbin chose her.

Sincere is the i want my kate and Edith too. He wants multiple options and you will be sharing him if you choose to enter that relationship. Weak willed, conflict avoidant, liar, and runs from accountability. I would've said he's the worse but sadly It's kc.

KC's biggest flaw is that EGO. People were correct in calling his behavior performative. The way he tallies his good deeds as if it's supposed to lead into physical intimacy is wild. That man is a hotep.

I hate that it's the black men that are moving like this. You can tell they lack empathy and don't have respect for women. Corbin is a forgettable asshole. Sincere is the gaslighter but I feel like KC would lowkey leave you hurting because he puts on that mask.

>!so we all know that David Talbot and Daniel are going to have combined story lines.!<

>!Raglan James switches bodies with lestat at some point. We also know raglan is a kleptomaniac.!<

>!If you watch raglan during the auction scene you can tell it's lestat in raglan's body. He uses a very similar facial posture that lestat uses. The way he walks like he's the center of the world still putting on a performance.!<

>!We know that david Talbot's body dies and in the most recent episode lestat narrates daniel in the past tense. And says his life as a vampire was brief.!<

>!He's also working with the talamasca. Who else works with the talamasca? Raglan James.!<

Now here's the foreshadowing.

>!There is a minor character that has interacted with armand, Daniel, and raglan. An occurring theme in his appearances always have something to do with his identity. Someone throws out a "you're not who I thought you were" whenever this person is around.!<

Rashid,

when we meet rashid it's armand.

When real rasheed appears we think he's their assistant.

Whole time he's talamasca.

Even down to raglan james pronouncing Rashid's name different than louis.

>!Daniel is going to switch bodies with rashid.!<

>!Raglan is the one auctioning off lestat's belongings in lestat's body.!<

>!And lestat is trying to buy it back in raglan's body!<

Honestly ew but also accurate. If there is one thing the books and the show addresses its the fundamental shifting of relationships and roles immortals adopt between each other through time.

&#x200B;

The books depict claudia as a daughter, emotional anchor and also has lover subtext for louis.

The show reflects that by shifting the relationship of a father and daughter to a brother and sister. While still showcasing louis' emotional dependence and using claudia as a placeholder for a lover.

"My daughter, was my sister, was my throw pillow"

&#x200B;

Lestat and Gabrielle's relationship shifted from mother to son to fledgling and maker to lovers. From a really twisted perspective it makes sense, they are immortal, not human so they aren't held to human morality, a single person would play many roles in another immortals life regardless of how the relationship existed as humans. Then it will change again and again throughout their immortality. Plus he's literally a noble Frenchman from the 1700s getting freaky with family wasn't uncommon with nobility at the time. I do enjoy how the show presents the shift by having a person fail at whatever role they were supposed to play originally.

&#x200B;

Gabrielle is an emotionally distant mother. When she does offer some warmth towards lestat it has sexual tension within it (grooming). Gabrielle can't often be lestat's mother due to her own trauma but she can be his lover due to the way she traumatized him. Gabrielle still shows up for him as his mother, as well as a lover and companion

"Fledgling, lover, mother"

Louis and lestat failed claudia as father's. In order to stand living with them they shifted the relationship to that of a sibling bond so that their flaws are more tolerable. But they still showed up as her fathers when it was needed.

&#x200B;

I feel like we see this often in the books where relationships evolve in circles.

&#x200B;

It's how they keep that vampiric loneliness away.

Founded by Peter Thiel and it has a plethora of political figures currently in office, Elon musk, and others of wealth and status. They hold meetings completely off the record where they discuss certain topics.

&#x200B;

One of them being "navigating world war 3"

This man is a freak.

Sam reid is an amazing singer. I really enjoy Your Biggest Fan the most so far.

I initially felt some type of way about the lack of marketing the first two seasons got vs the upcoming season. Like yes it centers lestat since its his book BUT we are also seeing a bit of a heated rivarlyesque marketing strategy. I wonder if they were more willing to market and promote this season becausev another gay love story was really popular. Heated rivalry blowing up and now we have a similar marketing run for this season. I don't think that's coincidence.

NDAA 2027 section 224 proposes a fusing of american and Israeli defense. What do we have to gain from this and what do we have to lose
