augh could journalctl just NOT try to be so clever about automatically invoking a pager? it makes it very difficult to actually see anything in the output when we're doing anything slightly unusual

we are normally cautious about insulting software in public because, like, we know a lot of people and it often finds its way to the authors, but journalctl is part of one specific asshat's quest for personal power at the expense of the community he claims to serve, so we feel okay about that prospect
