Agreed but I think we can all also agree that when Norman Finkelstein talked about gooning being fascist it was both correct and one of the funniest things ever.

They shoulder a lot of the blame, as long as you don’t go so far that you forget the decades of right wing media extremism backed by oil billionaires that also shoulders a lot of the blame.

The average American’s political consciousness only sees two sides: libs with their rainbow imperialism, and chuds with their overt imperialism, and they by and large just side with the one that makes them feel better about themselves.

shit how do I get a job at a laptop farm

I wouldn’t even try to hide it, call my LLC “Carl’s Always-On Juche Laptops” and cover the building in DPRK flags and propaganda posters.

Been playing a lot of Rimworld, digging the anomaly content that I’ve never played before. I love feeding raiders too my grove of evil trees almost as much as I love taking combat missions right when huge trade caravans arrive at my base and diverting the enemies into the crowd of merchants and caravan guards. I feel like there should be consequences for this but they keep letting me get away with it.

Also got back into playing DBZ: Kakarot again. I didn’t finish it when it came out or play any of the dlc but I love flying around the Toritama verse so much it’s such a vibe. Give me a sequel with these exact same game mechanics and an original open-world story and it would be the best DBZ game ever.

The people with enforcement capacity all either work for the president or they work for the courts and therefore rely on the president’s people to carry out any court orders. It’s wild that it took this long for the cracks in our system to show, really.

Cheaper, disposable, fast moving vehicles with some heavy armament make more sense as a drone platform.

Rocket tag with drone tank hunters fits into my vision, but my point is just that any and all military operations will inevitably revolve around people with guns and instead of getting fully automated robot on robot warfare we’re going to turn war into an automated shooting gallery where poor people are the targets.

Just watched Andor s1e6

i was not expecting to be rooting for commies with space-AKs to reenact the plot of Goldfinger while an indigenous group that is currently undergoing proletarianization celebrates their last pre-industrial ritual but that’s what happened and it was pretty cool.
