“You lifted him up and wear him around your neck like a seal”

You gave him too much power and trust

A cylinder seal was a stamp of authenticity on documents. People wore them around their necks. In this letter king Sargon II reprimands an official for giving a bad guy named Bēl-nūri too much power

i think one of the things so peak about arknights at times is how much it respects cultures and lands it researches into and the dub work really reflects that, you may say "but sargon" and you'd be right but even sargon, when they take seriously, is done well

Right wingers have convinced themselves that any black person in fiction is "forced".

I remember Sargon of Akkad said that seeing a black person in lord of the rings felt like seeing a pepsi can.

They can't fathom that minorities exist outside of their hateful perspective.

Last week, as part of my charity work, I delivered a speech at a concert for TDoR and IDEVaWG. Here are my remarks.

I usually don't share things like these on here, but I think it's important to speak up.

1/
Good evening. My name is Zoe, and I'm a terrorist. Not really. The definition of "terrorism" is "the use of violence or the threat of violence against civilians in pursuit of a political or social goal," and while we want to change politics and society, we’ve never done anything like that. Sorry, but I needed a catchy phrase to open the conversation. To grab attention. But there's a grain of truth to it: because there are many people who call people like me terrorists. They say we're the ruin of the country. That it would be better if we didn't exist. Blaming an innocent minority as the perpetrator of all the ills that afflict society has always been a political tactic, especially on certain sides of the political spectrum, aimed at gaining consensus and strengthening one's own position. The story has always been this: you need a target. In 2015, in the United States, conservatives lost the battle against gay people following the Supreme Court ruling that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide. And it immediately became clear that the disasters conservatives feared—fire and brimstone raining from the sky, dogs and cats sleeping together—didn't materialize. So they changed their target. This shift in focus has been made deliberately and explicitly. There are documents published online by conservatives that outline how to do it: by pinning a whole host of wrongdoings on trans people. They talk about GENDER IDEOLOGY. They talk about PROTECTING WOMEN AND CHILDREN. They call us perverts. They call us mentally ill. They call us terrorists. I told you it's a way to grab attention, right? All this was done with the help of the Church, with a high prelate, perhaps the highest, who said that we have “a destructive potential equal to that of nuclear weapons.” It was done with the approval of a few millionaires, who, from the heights of their castles, spent billions on propaganda and financing lawsuits aimed at stripping trans people of the rights they have always had. It was done with the connivance and complicity of journalists. In September, a fascist was murdered in the United States. He was sitting in a university courtyard, making propaganda, and after spending his last words blaming trans people for the constant shootings in that country, he was shot. And on this subject, I'll read you the title of an article. Kirk's killer identified. FBI manhunt. Transgender slogan on rifle. Transgender slogans on rifle. Oh, that's no small thing. Of course, it wasn't true. It was a rumor spread by the right to discredit trans people, as they always do. But whoever wrote the article drank it up like a cold summer drink. And we're not talking about publications like LA VERITÀ or LIBERO or IL GIORNALE, which notoriously write things that would make Indro Montanelli turn in his grave. No. Do you know where the article I read you was published? La Repubblica. September 12, 2025, page eight. And you know what's worse? Once the transgender gun slogans were debunked, the denial wasn't published. Or rather, it was published, but dismissed with a hidden sentence in an article, not just in the headline like the news item itself. But in this case, perhaps it could be considered an honest mistake. In other cases, the bad faith is evident, and here we're talking about a tactic widely used by journalists to discredit trans people: they don't call us "people" but rather "activists." Because that reduces us to a political issue. Do you pee in a bathroom that someone thinks is wrong? You're an activist. Do you sue your employer for discrimination? You're an activist. Are you attacked by a man three times your size during a debate? You're an activist. Always an activist, never a victim. With these strategies and many others, they try to portray trans people as unreasonable, as bullies, as those who make absurd demands. As something new, appearing out of nowhere and seeking to upend society. But trans people have always been there and always will be. Do you know who Enheduanna is? Probably not, so I'll tell you: Enheduanna was a Sumerian princess, daughter of the ruler Sargon of Akkad, and a priestess of the goddess Inanna. She lived around 2300 BC. She is the oldest known female writer. And she was a trans woman. How do we know, you ask? Quickly: it is said that during a palace dispute, a rival priest pulled out a dagger, one of those used for the ritual castration of sacrificial rams, and threw it at Enheduanna's feet, saying, "This is the one you used on yourself, isn't it?" in mockery. But beyond proving that trans people have always existed, Enheduanna's story also demonstrates something else: since ancient times, from Enheduanna, to the myth of the seer Tiresias (transformed into a woman by the goddess Hera), to the Galli, Roman priests of the goddess Cybele who castrated themselves and dressed as women, to the medieval monks who wrote prayers to God to transform them into women, to the "two-spirit" people found among Native Americans, in most cultures, trans people have been considered bearers of a spark of divinity.

So ist es recht. Niemand würde dem größten Herrscher seit Sargon von Akkad den Respekt verweigern können.

"We know nothing of Sargon of Akkad as a person, just that he is said to have taken these cities and tore down their walls, but I do know that you've got a good set in you and you can tear down your own walls." Like that?

BE has always, indeed, been shitty.

People just gave BE a free pass during the cringe 2018 Breadtubr era, when people were seriously trying to find the Leftist equivalent of Sargon of Akkad Benjamin.

Turns out that's bad, actually

It’s really telling how back in 2016, JonTron was pro-gamergate and also promoted white genocide conspiracy theories alongside people like Sargon and Richard Spencer and somehow he hardly faced any real consequences for his actions.

lowkey he would have been so viral a decade ago. he probably would have guest starred on a Bible Reloaded chick tract alongside sargon of akkad and the creationist cat.

Sadly, the era of rantsona grifting has long since ended, as much as he wants it to retvrn.

I'm coming out as a plural system. I am comprised of 25 different identities.

Between us, we comprise every identity category.

Therefore, from here on out, the plural system known as BadEmpanada cannot be criticised.

Batya might be just fine with a dudetrustme basis for a terrorist designation, but Americans with a functioning moral compass actually expect a plausible public rationale for who is to be treated as a terrorist in our name.

AKKAD (Lubin)

Inspired by Sargon of Akkad who conquered much of Mesopotamia. The opening is cola, quickly turning to gorgeous woods and resins with a hint of powder.

Certainly there's a lot to unpack about what NewsNation host, Batya Ungar-Sargon, is saying in this tweet, but what I want to focus on is that it appears CNN is giving a NewsNation host some of their airtime.

I'd like someone to ask Jane Fonda what Ted Turner would think about that.
