I dunno if y’all are following the official Terry Pratchett page on facebook or not but ever since the US election results came out they’ve been posting text images like these:
[Quote: “Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show.”]
and honestly the thought of Terry Pratchett throwing shade from beyond the grave is all that’s keep me going some days.
I saw one comment from saying something along the lines “well you shouldn’t post this, you don’t know how he’d feel about it”
No. If you read ANY of his books it’s clear how he’d feel about this nonsense.
I saw those comments and laughed my ass of because Terry was, and remains, a bastion of righteous rage and hope in a world weakened by fear and hatred. He told us plainly, Suffer Not Injustice—to take light into dark places and to care for those in need, not because it is kind or good but because it is right.
He’d be going absolutely fucking SPARE if he were alive to see the world as it is today. And
I don’t just mean over the US elections, I mean Brexit, I mean
Aleppo—the whole god damn world—he’d be going utterly Stoneface-I can’t be having with this-Librarian Poo.
