In 2015, Starbucks’ holiday cup design was met with controversy after some customers claimed the lack of traditional holiday symbols was an act of “war on Christmas.” The coffee chain defended the design, saying it was meant to be a “blank canvas” that could be filled in by customers with their own holiday drawings and messages.

It's an impossible utopian dream that is destructive in the fact that while you cling on to it, succeeding in any other way becomes impossible too. But after a few seconds, reason and logic and reality come back into play and the house of cards comes crashing down. But the game is literally saying that the only way for a communist regime to exist even for a moment is by the sheer power of ignorant, idealistic fervour. It ends with a house of cards metaphor, which a lot of people seem to have misinterpreted as an optimistic moment. They're hiding in the ruins of communism, and pretending it's still there, because they don't want to acknowledge that their idealism isn't going to result in anything. They're literally locked away in a little room with bars on the door. It literally shows Harry and two other communists hiding behind the idea of communism because they can't face reality. The vision quest is not a positive or hopeful portrayal of communism. And because they're communards, all their crimes are justified. The game points out again and again that the Communard regime was awful, and just as violent as the libs and the fascists, but you have to choose to believe in those murderers purely because they're communards. ![]() You have to let idealism blind you, and you have to let ignorance and nostalgia overwhelm your better judgement. The communist path pretty much portrays you as downright delusional if you try, and you're forced to lean in to that delusion or you can't be a communist. You have to constantly and explicitly ignore that in order to keep supporting it in the game. And that's also the case with communism itself. The house of cards is impossible to build, and can only be sustained for a few brief moments, against all logic and reason, through the power of pure communist fervour. The communist vision quest shows this pretty clearly through the house of cards metaphor. The game goes to great lengths to point out that communism sounds great in theory, but has never been successful in practice, and can't be. The only ideology it isn't wistful about is moralism, because moralism is the ideology of wishful thinking.īut doesn't present the actual ideology negatively, just the consequences of it being implemented in a flawed way. It's just that its people disagree on which days those were. Martinaise is characterised by its nostalgia for better days. And various characters have that same attitude to Communism. Rene is wistful and nostalgic about the height of the monarchy. Joyce is wistful and nostalgic about the height of Neoliberalism. The game really isn't any more wistful about it than anything else. And the fascist path really leans into how pathetic fascists are, blaming "wömen" and foreigners for everything wrong with the world and wanting to turn back time to some imaginary era when things were better. The moralist path absolutely tears into centrists for their lack of empathy and commitment to stability over improving lives. The ultraliberal path is just a straight-up joke where half the lines you can choose are about hustling and grinding. Disco Elysium is critiquing all the ideologies it presents from a leftist perspective, and nobody likes to make fun of communists more than other communists. It's pessimistic about communism becoming reality ("0.0001% of Communism has been built) but doesn't present the actual ideology negatively, just the consequences of it being implemented in a flawed way. That's far from true the communist path shows a lot of nostalgia and wistfulness for what could have been with the Commune of Revachol. ![]() ![]() I admit, the first one is lazy!

Wash it, tug it, get to know it before you go further.Ĭonsider taking a t-shirt you don't love, or one you thrifted or scored from Freecycle or your local Buy Nothing group to test out these methods before going to town on your beloved band tee. Don't be afraid to just cut off the sleeves and/or neckband and sit with that for a while. Nothing worse than snipping too much off a t-shirt you love and make it something you hate. I am very conservative with cutting my t-shirts for a more feminine shape because I have been burned in the past. I often cut off the hem band of sweatshirts as well for more comfort and a cute look. How to Knot a T-Shirt Without that “Penis” Sticky-Outie Partįor this sweatshirt from PGCNTY I bought one size larger and just cut out the neck band and tugged no other modification. This can also make for a cute layer over a dress or jumpsuit. I do like cutting out the neck of a t-shirt, cutting off 2-4″ of the hem, and then the sleeves for a cute top to wear with a sports bra for working out and outdoor activities. Again, I do not recommend tugging to roll it will do it on its own a bit but you don't want to encourage it or make the arm openings any wider. Just like with the neckline, cut right along the shoulder seam, removing the seam along with your sleeve. This is better with a shirt 1-3 sizes large and knowing you'll want to wear a cami or cute bralette underneath because it will gape. Learn from me, you can't just cut off a shirt's sleeves and think it will look cute. The hem will roll, but if the shirt isn't so snug and you haven't shortened it a lot, it shouldn't roll up too much. just removing the hem will loosen the shirt, and a couple of tugs here and there can make a meh shirt look and feel wow. Use the same process I used for the sleeves. ![]() If your shirt is a bit too snug, try trimming off just the hem of the shirt. Do NOT tug to roll when finished, you want it to roll as little as possible. Cut with the t-shirt against a table or flat surface. Use a ruler to draw dots with a tailor's pencil, chalk, or soap the specific amount you want off (remember to be conservative because the shirt WILL roll up), and then use the ruler to connect the dots. To ensure this is done evenly, I press my t-shirt so it is as smooth as possible, and use straight pins to have the front and back stay together. However, some standard-issue t-shirts for jobs, teams, fun runs, and family reunions can end up looking like dresses without some modification. ![]() Like sleeves and necklines, a cut hem of a t-shirt will roll, and unless you're just trimming off the hem, cropping it, tying it, or tucking it in, this can look messy (and can roll more, especially if the shirt is fitted over the stomach).
