Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!
Must get back to Terry Pratchett he was so brilliant 💖💖
Always an extremely relevant quote.
I call this piece "Congressional_dems.txt"
Terry had tremendous insight into human nature generally, but he was particularly good at pointing out all of the little, shitty parts of ourselves that we're ashamed of he loved people, but he knew how we could be
Quotes like this are why I will say something, even if I get kicked in the teeth for it.
This is the part I think about the most among all the books
Perhaps importantly the context for this isn't someone, idk, beating up their child or something, it is (spoilers!) the ruling class deciding to make regular human sacrifices to the evil dragon to preserve their way of life.
