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 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.)
I'm an American who got to crack up at 90 minutes of this brilliantly hilarious rant live two months ago! It's not too insider-British for Americans to appreciate a great rip of selfish, catering-to-the-rich conservative "leadership." Plus a lesson in "what are you actually doing about it?" humility and an encouragement to vote.
To be clear to the people who have replied, the character of “Johnathan Pie” is clearly satirical, the subject material that he talks about isn’t. Our government are so woeful , that their actions need no exaggeration. We need to be thankful that we have people such as James O’Brien, Carol Vorderman , and Tom Walker trying to protect our liberty.

What punishment could ever be enough for truss? I can't think of anything. And yet she doesn't just have no consequences. She lives in splendor for her entire miserable waste of life.
A traitor like Sunak who helped bankrupt Royal Bank of Scotland in 2008 and picked up their shares worth 100 million. Vote for taxing based on overall wealth and not income based. The weasels have a way of reducing the amount of income tax they pay with having their shares owned by offshore shell companies
And this is groundbreaking humour these days - Pie is telling the truth in public and we all get the biggest dopamine rush since Carl Sagan tried to tell us about the solar system without irony or sarcasm more than 40 years ago. It is awesome!
You seriously think a Starmer-led Labour Party is going to be any different. Just listen to what they are saying - they are in the pocket of big business and no friends of working people.
" "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We WILL be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that the day is the Fourth of July, where we will once again be fighting for our freedom... Freedom from tyranny, oppression and persecution.....from annihilation. WE are fighting for our right to LIVE. To exist. And WHEN we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the country declared in ONE voice: "We will NOT go quietly into the night!" We will NOT vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day! " 😏
I think I may have issues. Whenever Truss is brought up, I have an uncontrollable desire to type or yell "PAWK MAHKETS!" and then stand around waiting for a roaring applause or ALL the likes....
