I watched your man in the debate, apparently he forgot his policies, all I heard was the usual 'vote for change', 'vote to turn the page', but no actual policies...... would not say he wouldn't tax pensions, would not say a woman is a biological woman, (how he makes women's spaces safe without that, I don't know), would not say how he would fund building his houses, or where, would not say how he would miraculously get Europe to agree to a better deal without freedom of movement, would not say how he would tackle migration, would not say if he was sure no other candidates of his had bet on the election, would not say if he would raise taxes, but we should 'turn the page', it seems the other side of the page is blank though...............hmmmm

I'm an American who got to crack up at 90 minutes of this brilliantly hilarious rant live two months ago!

[@davethompson3326]

Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before. -Serialephemera on Terry Pratchett

[@ManWalksDogs]

which one's that from? got them all sitting on my shelf*, patiently waiting to be read. the early ones read through a few times on separate occasions attempting to work my way through. the last time round managed to get my partner into him and she plugged all the gaps in mine &my mothers joint collection, now all sat in a pile at mine. need to get back into reading in general and this one you thematically summarise may be my route back in... *well, they were until major house works then decoration last year, now they're in piles on the bedroom floor upstairs.

[@kikidevine694]

Or, as Johnny Rotten said (before he went all establishment) Anger is an energy

[@MrManBuzz]

Anger is more useful than despair.

[@old_grey_cat]

​​@@ManWalksDogs I think it is the essence of Vimes, caught by someone who saw the same things in the works as I did. The witches also raised the concept more than once, e.g "Granny Weatherwax was often angry. Genuine anger was one of the world’s great creative forces. But you had to learn how to control it. That didn’t mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it, carefully, let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge."(Wyrd Sisters) She used righteous anger quite creatively. [edit: Note that Vimes was often knurd - the not-drunk wrong side of sober, seeing too much of reality.] The story says it was lack of endogenous alcohol that did it, but I think Vimes had so much natural decency that what he saw in the world hurt, and he needed a couple of drinks to blur the edges and not loose his temper at the wrong time. (I did mean "loose." He kept it tightly reined in, after all.)
