Januar 6? It literally just came to light that he said he wants generals like Hitler's. As a German myself, I can't express how utterly fucked up this it coming from a presidential candidate for the US.
Well, he never says he's evil but is certainly seen as a villian: Dr. Victor van Doom. He's actually glimpsed all possible timelines of humanity and only the one where he reigns is not ending in destruction. https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4d9668819558c73a8fda43cd4bc0ef0a-lq He is also loved by the people of the country he does rule. And when he had indeed managed to rule the world, it was a time of peace. I mean, mind control peace (he amplified the power of Kilgrave the Purple Man) but still.
He just hid it better, he was always a self-serving asshole. Like Trump he has just realized that the right side of the political spectrum are far easier to con out of their money. And both have shady connections to Putin as well, of course.
The whole Western world is being played by Putin. Right wing parties are on the rise in pretty much every Western country and every single one has had suspicious connections to Russia.
"So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult."
Well, normal is a stretch. It was still forbidden to read and written by a madman in his own blood, driving anyone reading it at least partially insane.
Lovecraft was basing it on The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers. The character itself also appears in the Lovecraft pantheon as Hastur.
Speaking as a German who was attentive in history class, yes, as paradoxical as it sounds, the current government should fight tooth and nail ro remain in control and don't simply relinquish power to the Republicans should Trump win. Although that in itself would be undemocratic, it would also be the last resort to save democracy ironically.
The alternative will be a fascist government that will immediately start to dismantle democracy and persecute the opposition, a.k.a. "the enemy within". I personally would rather not see the superpower with the world's largest military turn into an autocracy.
And that's not even taking into account the effect it would have on climate change, which would become even worse instead of getting at least mitigated. (Democratic societies have no choice but to act as soon as public pressure becomes too high, which it will within the next years. Autocratic societies however can just double down on propaganda and oppression and carry on burning fossil fuels.)
Also a concerted effort by Putin, who is not only likely the real richest man on Earth but also the head of a fascist country that wants to destroy the very idea of democracy around the world.
In case of TOS, they literally pitched it as a kind of Western but in space to the studios due to the popularity of the genre on TV (both DeForest Kelly and Shatner had also already appeared in Western serials).
I would say do every actual sidequest but don't bother clearing the map of all question marks. Hunting for Witcher school gear is also just mostly cosmetic and optional, but they're the coolest armors and swords.
Also, if you're not playing on the lowest difficulty, read the infos in your journal regarding the creatures and prepare accordingly.
