Beautiful isometric game inspired by 80's and 90's CRPGs.

Die.

A LOT

The problem is that people are not exercising their political power to the fullest extent.

Going to a demonstration where people are just standing around and voice their concerns doesn't actually exert any legitimate political power. It is toothless. Failure to listen to demands doesn't hold any consequences for them or threaten their control. They know we will all still have to go home and participate in the system that they control and gives them their power over us.

Protests of the past worked because the people stopped listening to their authority and threatened to take back control for themselves. That took monumental efforts of organizing to allow people to exert their own political power over their labor in order to put a wrench into the gears of the system.

The point of a protest is for, the reason it worked in the past was due to, people taking a stand to say "change this system to better benefit us or we are going to change it without you"

It's time to start changing.

This country is so fucking stupid and brainwashed.

The establishment has spent the last century doing everything in its power to control the narrative around the Civil Rights Movement (and, even though not mentioned, the Labor Movement before it) into this idealized "peaceful revolution", making sure to erase any mentions of the effective methods which were able to buckle the system and force it to listen to demands from our education.

This article explains exactly why and proves that they were effective in their efforts. Now, when we need to do the same thing as our forefathers, no one knows what we need to do, and insist on copying half measures without understanding the full picture of why those methods worked in the first place. People have this idealized vision of that time period; a vision that was tailor made to ensure compliance and that they be wary of those who actually know the truth and advocate for effective methods of protest or alternatives.

In France they are Vache (cows)

Abject stupidity. Usually.

Their point is you cannot just use a blanket term such as "for science" and expect everyone else to know what is and isn't considered appropriate. As they said, those bodies were still used "for science"... military science and weapons testing. It is still technically "for science".

The discussion shouldn't be on what we personally find appropriate, instead we must first determine who has authority over the cadaver. It is no longer a person with autonomy, just a bag of flesh and bone, an inanimate object. Who owns it? The next of kin? The state? Some other third entity?

Once this question is answered, it will be up to them what ultimately happens to the cadaver.

Gotta love the Streisand effect.

That only matters under an economic system that necessities competition.

Change the economic system to one that encourages cooperation instead, and that won't be an issue.

Don't really care about the competition. I care about having cheap access to EVs. If the competition can't compete, then fuck em. That's not my problem.

I mean, technically he is just a lich... Who so happens to have a cult that worships him, which somehow gave his incorporeal spirit power during his short absence after the defeat at the hands of his right-hand lieutenant, Kas, and has absorbed the power of a lesser deity to use as his own while escaping from imprisonment by the Lady of Pain for a failed plot to usurp the cosmic order when he infiltrated Sigil, the City of Doors.

So, not a god, just a lich with the power of a God.

Haha petty semantics!

Capitalism at its finest.

My point was to expand on where yours was lacking. Not to convince you, but to provide more context for others reading it.

K. Tell me you have no idea how to argue in good faith without saying so.

Seriously, give this movie a shot.

And the reason we still use CO2 slaughter instead of something like Nitrogen is because.... They already have machines built for CO2 and just don't want to pay the cost of changing practices.

Pure greed and laziness.

Sorry you are so simple minded and cannot see how you are blinded by your own prejudices. You're no better than them in how you approach the world. You're just the other side of that same coin.

If destruction of property during a protest makes it "violent", then destruction of property via sabotage is also "violent".

My point being: regardless of what actions we take against the regime, it will always be classified as violence as an excuse to send the state dogs after the dissenters.

When it comes to actions done in protest of the regime, we are incredibly far behind on the escalation of our actions against it. We need to be protesting like the original union movements that occupied factories, sympathy strikes from related industries, anything and everything we can muster to bring the entire economy to a screeching halt until those who hold the reigns of industry give in to our demands as workers.

Ideally, we wouldn't stop there and, instead, continue until we, as a united working class, take back ownership of what is rightfully ours from a parasitic class of a few societal elite and dismantle their system which has reinforced their authority over us.

But we can cross that bridge when we get there. First we have to get organized and start actually doing something.

I'm still just in stunned amusement that fucking Honda is joining the rocket races.

I'm in Louisiana, so using French is actually quite appropriate.
