Survival in a world that wants us dead is a revolutionary act and every day is another chance for you to make a new crack in their systems of oppression

A lot of “stupidity” you see in the world is a result of anxiety and exhaustion proximately caused by individual poverty and bad infrastructure* imo

*Infrastructure includes hard systems like transit and housing and soft systems like community organizations and government agencies imo

transgender and antifascist ideology

transgender … ideology

[Squidward voice, but angrier] NO, PATRICK, TRANSGENDER IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY… PREGNANT IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY EITHER.

If some historian a hundred years from now or whatever wants to say this moment represented a real turning point, please don’t

Yeah, like less than a second after he says violence is a sudden and absurd amount of gore

I thought he saving a PNG image

Oh, I remember that one and that is an excellent choice. “You have to integrate this into your character” felt like the most violent thing a game has ever done to me.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself sad. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov fucked him over personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

And what does some random painter have to do with anything

Yeah, always room for improvement, but from my limited perspective this site does pretty well

I’d say it’s not as bad because it comes from (I think) a genuinely well meaning place, but it is definitely destructive, both just on its own and because it will produce a Streisand effect from the people it pisses off and cause them to devolve into full time trolls when they might not otherwise

This is going to come off as a way more devastating insult than I mean for it to be (especially since that actually looks kinda good), but you should know you eat like a Starfield NPC

Yeah, like Andrea Manafort said, they just keep showing up and eating the lobster

That guy looks like he just had a rush of blood to the head

“Soldiers don’t go to hell”

Yeah, like even if they did manage to break away they would constantly be getting little raiding parties and all sorts of harassment from the old government and continually have to waste all sorts of resources on defending themselves. If it gets to the point where open armed conflict with the US government seems like a good idea you might as well skip past secession to overthrow.

Fair enough, but, like, 100 archers against 1000 people ends poorly for the archers if the people are willing to take some casualties, and a keep wall is only good so long as nobody inside decides to unlock a door or people outside can’t get a ladder set up somewhere for a few minutes

Yes, there have been successful revolutions since the 1850s, but they’re definitely a lot harder than they used to be, and I think they now really do require some sort of defection from the ruling classes or military over to the opposition in a way that you didn’t really need for, say, the French revolution, where an angry mob of peasant women could just force their way into the kings castle and tell him how things were gonna be going forward

I’m not saying it’s impossible, and I’m definitely not saying people should give up protesting all the bullshit going on right now, but I do think meta social contract between the rulers and the ruled has changed a lot since the 18th century because of technological progress

why people aren’t gathering in mobs

Well, it happened about a hundred years after your time, but there’s this thing called the Gatling gun that got invented that really became a hard counter to angry mobs trying to storm things, and once that stopped being an option they just kinda stopped listening to us
