One possible way for this shit not to escalate to nuclear armageddon is if these death cultists are given an off-ramp where they stand to benefit from the new global paradigm. Hella unsatisfying.

Trots have a history of transitioning into neocons. Christopher Hitchens was a Trot. In fact the “father of neoconservatism” actually started out as a Trot.

I’ve really wondered what 6 will look like given how abhorrent female representation is in these games. It’ll likely still have its cringey moments, but the trailer looks pretty encouraging.

Baldur’s Gate 3 babyyy

As a fan of the old games, this sequel really is something incredibly special. And as someone who has a difficult time committing to live D&D sessions, my itch is sufficiently scratched.

I just ate a whole bag of gummy bears. So, yeah.

You and me both. We’ll just have to settle for being fucking paranoid everywhere we go.

I don’t think anyone here disagrees with this. It’s just that for those of us living in this shithole country, there’s got to be at least some policy to fight for that make things safer but doesn’t disarm us. Capitalism in the US isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Fair points. I didn’t say I supported banning young people from firearms though, but would entertain giving them extra scrutiny depending on the legislation.

In general, I would also support additional barriers for firearm ownership under the age of 25. Not make it illegal persay, but give some extra hoops to jump through.

Most of these mass shooters are men in their early twenties, where the decision-making part of the brain is not fully developed and most are in a very vulnerable transition stage in life.

The fetishization of the second amendment by white reactionaries reveals the true intention, not as a check against a “tyrannical” government as its propagandized to be, but as a securing of settler dominance against Black and Native populations.

Fascism requires an enemy.

Capitalist ingenuity.

The US is the only country on Earth where you can get critically injured in a mass shooting and yet still be held personally responsible for the outrageous hospital bill.
