Stephen King should’ve never been allowed to write in the first place.

It’s neither.

No no this is plain WRONG :( These “super determinists” need to read Gramsci and understand that the subject IS NOT a slave!!

This is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I could celebrate.

See-saw democracy: right then left oh we’re going too far left let’s go right oh no too far right, etc. Why? Because it’s fun! And no matter what, we never leave the see-saw!! What? You want us to get off and help the people trapped underneath it? But then would have to leave the see-saw, and the right side would hit the floor FOR SURE because it’s heavier.

America isn't telling the IDF or Hamas to continue

By supporting Israel’s occupation of Palestine with billions of dollars, Biden routinely shipping off weapons to slaughter Palestinians and allowing weapons sales, the U.S. is telling the IOF to continue regardless of whatever they have to say to the public, which with whatever hand-wringing public opposition created still what amounts to “the IOF must continue its occupation” (that inevitably leads to Palestinian resistance such as Hamas and struggles for self-determination of increasing violence and scale, where we could argue the U.S. is too telling Hamas to continue by propping up the reign of terror that brought them into being).

Heh, it’s just a simple calculus for me. I vote for the liberals to stop the conservatives and move the overton window left, the liberals prop up the farthest-right conservatives in the next election and keep everything in limbo so of course I have to vote for the liberals again as their politics get worse, then we’ll see what happens but I got a good feeling; really it’s just me doing my part. A “thank you“ would be nice, but I’m not in it for the glory.

Any time game ranking is brought up, the list remains the same:

#1: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

#2-♾️: everything else

Indigenous people doing genocide of pit bulls based on Hitlerite dog race science.

I hate JRPGs

From the thread this is from:

We’re all frustrated that the Democrats aren’t stronger, more effective, further left, savvier about strategy. But the Democrats can at least point to some significant accomplishments in the last 4 years—a major climate bill, infrastructure investment, nominating Justice Jackson

As someone terrified by the prospect of Trump returning to power, can you reassure me that there’s a plausible direct action/non-electoralist means of stopping him that’s more likely to succeed than electing Biden/Harris? Because if not I think you’re a LARPer.

The Democrats don’t WANT to be stronger because the Republican threat is what gets them votes above everything else. Everything must always be on the line, the Democrats constantly on the edge of losing power, or they would actually lose their power and some change might actually occur. If you’ve actually been around, you’d know that most people aren’t big fans of either party but feel they need to vote for the “lesser evil.” This is why Hillary and the DNC supported Trump’s candidacy for 2016, and Democrats put millions of dollars into funding election denialist Republican politicians. The only way to truly get rid of the Republican Trumpist threat is to oust from power the people that brought them into existence and allowed them to exist while they wielded state power (not because they aren’t savvy about strategy but because they are).

These “achievements” are nothing compared to the continued support for the imperialist exploitation of the globe, systemic racism, native genocide, immigrant concentration camps, and exploitation of the domestic working class.
