  • I mean, the fundamental breakdown of civility is going to be the answer, because widespread politically-motivated violence cannot happen without it. How long it will take for the country that keeps threatening to devolve into a civil war to actually do so is anyone's guess.

  • Buddy, you barely fuckin beat him when all the COVID deaths he caused were still fresh in the American minds. Biden won 2020 because he was "anyone else," but his dementia-addled mind has convinced himself that he's a heroic champion of the people who beat back fascism with his incredible intellect. All of the statistical evidence the public has access to predicted a catastrophic Biden loss, but I guess the lesson the DNC has learned from 2024 is that they should give up on objective reality as well.

  • Has Joyce Vance just been paying zero attention to the current Supreme Court? 6 of them have zero ethics and will rubber-stamp whatever the orange man tells them to do. I really doubt that this little bit of extra corruption will be the line in the sand that forces a corrupt shitbag like Thomas to take a stand against his master.

  • Aouch owie

  • What do you mean, I consider that the best position to be in the Trolley Problem. No real responsibilities, no moral culpability, either you die quick or have a wild story to tell. Wins all around.

  • Jesus Fucking Christ. Imagine having to film the death of your brother, who you were talking to minutes before. One second, he was checking on his wife, and the next he was trapped in a burning car.

    I cannot rationalize the actions of Israel. No one should be able to. Cruelty to this level should not be allowed, yet the Western hegemony is turning a blind eye to the suffering in Gaza.

  • I didn't do anything too special to run it, but I bought my copy on GOG, so maybe there's an issue with the Steam release? I know Warner Bros got really shitty with the franchise on Steam, did stuff like delisting the original and forcing you to buy it as part of the series, so maybe that broke it?

  • nah, I went back to it recently and FEAR still kicks ass. Honestly a little sad that in all the years since, there's no FPS quite like it. Still absolutely a 10/10, and I'd feel confident calling it one of the best shooters of all time.

  • The real reason America deserves to fall to fascism is that you still have bootlickers in this very thread pretending the Harris campaign really did all it could to win, and it was the fault of the mean, nasty leftists online calling out her support for a genocide that got Trump elected.

    Nobody is gonna learn a goddamn thing from this election, just like they haven't for decades. American democracy died before I was born, people are just realizing it now.

  • If you're only voting for harm reduction year after year and doing nothing to try and organize grassroots opposition to the lesser evil, yes constantly voting harm reduction is bad. It's how you allow lesser evils to grow into the larger evils of the current DNC, who care more about fundraising than winning.

  • Because leftist shitposting online doesn't actually lead to anything, and providing us with a safe outlet for our frustrations serves to keep people apathetic and afraid to fight back.

    Even if such a thing like total social media control were possible, and you're posting this on a leftist decentralized social media platform so the premise is already false, they just have no reason to take any action. What would be more likely is they would have bots and shills trying to keep content more "rah rah CEO bad" and less "The CEO of Anthem BlueCross BlueShield lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, a state well known for their incredibly lax gun laws."

  • Which really just feels one step away, at this point. Every day under his presidency I hoped and chanted and prayed that this day wouldn't be his Reichstag fire. He honestly might not even need it now, it seems like apathy is just as good as popular support in the face of fascism.

  • Get involved with something that requires a community.

    Sounds stupid, but there's plenty of things that require groups of people to be possible. Community sports, political activism, board games and cards, etc. typically have easy to join communities created for the express purporse of doing the one thing.
