2025.01.23 02:20 StrikeReadyNow Tom and the politics of land
Julian Fellowes decision to make Tom a socialist resulted in both some pretty sad character changes (and I think Allan Leech is lovely as Tom!) and really incoherent ideas about socialism and the Irish identity. Which could have been avoided (or at least less annoying) if Fellowes knew ANYTHING about Ireland. (ok. maybe he does, but I couldn't suss out what he knows about Ireland based upon what I saw on screen.)
Because Tom is one of my favs, I find the writing for him to be so irritating!
(1) Socialism was definitely a strand of Irish revolutionary politics but it was very urban centered. Thomas Connally one of the 1916 leaders was a trade union leader and a socialist. But other than apparently being from Dublin, absolutely nothing we were told about Tom linked him to an urban-centered, socialist cemtered life experience.
(2) But Tom was educated and interested in political theory! Very true but the Irish intellectual landscape of the 1890s-1910s came out of the unique traumas of the experience of Irish Catholics being systematically excluded from land ownership, the right to vote, and exploitation.
Irish intellectuals were either culturally oriented to London OR were pushing for the re-development of the Irish identity - young people were joining athletic leagues focused on Irish sports, Irish language, and self-help societies that had the ulterior motive of inculcating Irish nationalism.
Socialism was at odds with this for several reasons - one in particular being the european focus on creating a working class solidarity that crossed national boundaries.
Again, not inpossible that a young man could come out of Ireland as a committed socialist without showing signs of being an Irish nationalist. But it is an unsatisfying origin story because it ultimately doesn't make a lot of sense as developed by Fellowes.
According to Fellowes' narrative, Tom learns the errors of his ways and becomes a capitalist! When his entire experience at Downton would have demonstrated the truth of certain socialist maxims - namely, large landowners profit, not through capitalist competition but by rent extraction and absorbing the value of the labors of others. So Tom is an idiot and unable to see exactly what socialism told him he would see. Well, people change based upon life experience! True - but I am.supposed to believe that Tom became a convert to capitalism by living a life of "rent extraction"?
(2) Fellowes ignores the problem of Tom's belief until Tom is all gung-ho about being a capitalist. But the narrative absolutely ignores that Tom hasn't actually being exposed to a capitalist economy but to an system that doesn't operate that way.
Fellowes - actually demonstrates how NOT capitalist Downton is when the Crawleys talk about their obligation to their servants and tenants and has them bemoan the passing of the old ways in which the mutual obligations are no longer valued. Carson being the spokes person for the servant side of the equation.
And that is one of the likeable aspects of the family - that there is a sense of responsibility to tenants. but it sure as hell ain't pure capitalism.
(3) Tom would have made more sense as an Irish person with a strong attachment to land under Fellowes narrative arc.
He would have grown up acutely aware of the Great Hunger, the resulting loss of population (in 1840, the population of Ireland was around 8 million by 1920, it was around 4 million. it is estimated that around 1 million people died as a result of the Great Hunger and due to emigration and plummeting birth rates, the population was halved).
This was incredibly traumatic in itself but the trauma was compounded by deliberate policies to force Irish tenant farmers off the land and maximize direct LL control and eliminate tenant farmers. (There some capitalist decision making for you!)
Politics in rural Ireland were dominated by issues of landownership - secret societies cultivated low level agrarian unrest in an attempt to force change. To become a landowner was a widespread aspiration because troubles were many but land was eternal. Owning land meant having control in an uncertain world.
Again politics in urban areas were dominated by currents of Irish nationalism and land ownership was linked to the romantic notion of the Irish as being rooted in their land and identity as cultivators of land.
A gross simplification of Irish politics obvs but if Tom had been written as someone with an intense yearning/attachment to the idea of being a farmer, his switching allegience to Downton would at least make sense. To be the master (as an agent and family member) of land without losing his sense of being Irish could have been done without Fellowes' weird ideas about socialism and being Irish in the 1910s-20s.

2025.01.23 02:20 No_Consideration_851 Any experience with the WRX TR ?
Never owned a subaru, but I'm in the market for a new car. Getting more difficult to find a manual transmission these days, but I came across a 2024 wrx tr. I'm interested, seems fun and it looks good. Just wondering if anyone has any experience/reviews on them. I've read a few online and they weren't super stellar but not bad either. The name TR ....is subaru going to let you mod this thing without voiding the warranty? I'm skeptical...also, I know there was some issues with the 2.5 and oil consumption. Is the platform on the 2024 more reliable? Appreciate any feedback, thanks.

2025.01.23 02:20 Traditional-Cap-6998 Bittersuite closeted theory
I'm assuming it's about her not wanting to fall in love with a closeted girl before she goes to deep and gets her self into a situationship
"I think that were in between everything I've seen in my dream" says her dream is coming true of them being together
"You seem so paranoid" might also suggest the girl is closeted
"I'm looking at the boys I've never filled the void" and also "You seem so paralyzed it's so romanticized" seems to suggest people romanticizing closeted romances
"I'll see you in the suite we can be discreet" "I've been overseas" (sailor reference?)
"Love so bittersweet" would describe this type of love for sure and lastly "open up the door for me" could be the closet door
Just a theory

2025.01.23 02:20 Realistic_Voice_2415 Was I in a SB/SD type of relationship
Hi, I (28F) am from Ireland but I moved here to Hong Kong in 2022 for work, hoping it would grow my career long-term and for almost a year from early-2023 to mid-2024, I came to a bit of a living arrangement with a wealthy, separated Hong Kong company director who lived in a luxury apartment which overlooked Victoria Harbour.
Long story short, one day, whilst he was visiting the film set, I was working at, he overheard me talking to a couple other expats about how expensive it was at the time for me to live here and I can’t afford my rent. His assistant approached me, saying he wanted to speak with me, he and I spoke for over an hour after work.
We came to an arrangement in which I could come live with him, and whilst I was at his place, I would cook for him, clean for him, have sex whenever he wanted and if possible, I would also go on overseas trips with him, in exchange for me living with him for free.
I did have quite a bit of fun with this as he’d buy me dresses, bags, took me along with him on his business trips to Japan, California, Singapore, the Philippines, Shanghai and NYC, and during a trip to Japan, he bought me tickets to a Taylor Swift concert in Tokyo on February 2024.
We did also genuinely spend time together chatting about his issues, him asking about my work, my career goals and getting each others opinions on things, so there was a bit of personal connection between us as well.
Despite that, there were certain issues as well as sometimes I couldn’t always be home to cook or serve him as I do have a job and, on a few occasions, he also had me have sex with some of his other friends and business partners which I didn’t initially agree to but also felt I couldn’t say no to at the time and once he did force himself on me when I was on my period.
I eventually moved out in mid-2024 as I did feel I now earned enough at my job to afford a better apartment, with he and I parting on good terms. I still have him as a friend on Facebook but we don’t really chat much anymore.
I still don’t know if this was a sugarbaby/sugardaddy type of arrangement as I’m not really familiar with that kind of lifestyle to begin with but just needed opinions on this matter.

2025.01.23 02:20 InsanePsych Joined the gym, feel overwhelmed. Need advice.
Hi, I am a guy in college and recently joined the gym to lose weight. But I've never been gyming before so I don't know what to do with the equipment and what exercises to do on what day. so far haven't been able to find any guides on the net. Additionally, the gym is kind of open and temperature unregulated, so in winters, the temp drops to 10 degrees or below which adds more excuses for not going Sometimes I just force myself but I don't win always. Any tips?

2025.01.23 02:20 Go-Go-Gojira DIY Coffee By Bike?
Are there any punk-DIY coffee bike businesses out there? I see lots of cute, expensive coffee bikes for sale for more than $1,000 usd. I'm looking for something with a lower initial start-up, as I'm not sure a coffee bike business would be profitable in my town (small, coastal, no attractions). I have a decent bike so I'm part-way there.
I'd love to talk to someone with more experience, but I'm also happy if people want to use this post to promote their bike-coffee-business or promote a bike-coffee-business that they like.
Not AI. Not a bot. Just a retiree looking to supplement their income.
