A few good ones I picked that would be useful for the protests but the site is a treasure trove, so pick at your leisure.

Look man, people just want to experience a little optimism and fantasize about good things happening in the world. We don't care if it is realistic or not. It keeps hope alive.

Better than being a hopeless doomer about everything.

This. People don't like it when I say the US is a Paper Tiger. uS power doesn't come from its military strength but from its economic strength.

If pushed hard, it would crumble. The only reason the US has military bases all over is to scare those countries into submission to exploit their workforce. Yet, all those bases are fucking expensive to just maintain. If those countries resisted, then the US loses its economic strength gained from their exploitation, and its military crumbles when it cannot afford to satisfy both it's military contracts and maintain its presence abroad.

Not to mention the internal turmoil when the citizens experience the affects on society when the oligarchy can't subsidize the consumerist lifestyle anymore. Thought that's happening already thanks to the imperial boomerang.

Yea. I never could get into how Tumblr worked. Nothing made sense.

Who has that pic of the two rocket volleys being fired at each other that says "my tax dollars" and "also somehow my tax dollars"?

Well, considering that the US and Britain literally invented Israel, that tracks.

That's unfortunately all I expect these be in most localities.

They all seem to just be a "show up here for two hours and stand on the sidewalk". The only one that has the potential to do something akin to a legitimate protest will be the one at the actual parade itself in DC.

Still, wish I could even get to one myself just to try and pass out some zines. They might not be anything more than screaming into the void, but they are also great chances to spread some information and find people.

Pissed that I have no transportation to get to one of the protests. Solidarity in spirit from a po'boy stuck out in the sticks.

Because this is a legal action of denying entry into their country, not a kidnapping in international waters with an illegal blockade.

Beat Rebel Transmute, now I'm on Astronite and Zapling Bygone. Still also slowly going through Flintlock: Siege of Dawn.

Except it isn't illegal to enslave people. It is 100% legal if used as punishment for a crime as decided by the state. It is literally encoded into the 13th Amendment

Those "successes" are simply concessions from the state to lull the population back into complacency.

Violence is a tool. It is neither inherently good nor bad. It is how that violence is used and perpetrated and the context around why it was employed is where the heart of the matter lies.

Someone who is violent against Nazis or those of equivalent ideology in self defense? Absolutely and unequivocally justifiable.

Someone employing state violence to detain civilians because they were born on the wrong side of an imaginary line? Absolutely unjustifiable and deserves to be stopped, even if it means employing violence in self/community defense.

Pretty much what all anarchist theory has been proposing, at least when it comes to revolutionary action.

This is about what I expected of a study like this.

Only slightly disagree.

Inquisition and Veilguard aren't bad games. They are each fun in their own ways and cater to certain audiences.

That audience just so happens to not be in any way related to the Dragon Age fandom.

I expected a lot of travel for the career, I just was naive in expecting that travel to be reimbursed as it's a condition of the job. Nope, gotta foot the bill yourself.

I have passion for this career in conservation but, unfortunately, I also have to be able to afford the cost of living.

Having met a few nut jobs who are all about pseudoscience like homeopathy, crystal healing, and other forms of 'natural alternative medicines', this is exactly the type of shit I would expect them to say with a straight face.

Satire needs to be exaggerated to the point it is clear no one would actually say something so outlandish. This misses that mark.

The new DK game looks so bomb, cannot wait till it's available on the high sea.
