You’re doing God’s work danekrae! (unfortunately that means your opposition is literally Satan)

Ooooooh you dirty, hahaha

Warlock, tapping on cage lock: Wakey wakey

Paladin: Come at last for your blood sacrifice, heathen?

Warlock: Disonia is a vegan god of chaos, not that I expect zealots to understand doctrinal nuance. No, I’m here to talk, you goodies like to talk right?

Paladin: … perhaps…

Warlock: Can we agree that sometimes there are lesser and greater evils? We’re putting together an expedition into the Dark Lands. A crusade, if you prefer…

As someone who also is frequently bedeviled by the urge to write a text-editor\ide\language\runtime, thank you for sharing this cleansing reminder to stick with games!

Similar to vampires, every dwarven ship has an enormous boulder occupying a conspicuous place in the quarters. Sleeping near this “home stone” is necessary to prevent dwarves from going sea crazy.

Yeah, its been pretty disgusting watching the worst people in the state working overtime to fuck up society. We’ve been trying to get folks in our friend and activist circles to attend these meetings in person when we can do it. But obviously they schedule them at random times, cancel discussion when too many people are there, don’t announce reschedules, and so on. It’s scummy, antidemocratic tactics and I’m not sure what we’re supposed to do to counter them.

When the poles of your political axis are “human rights” <—> “genocide and slavery” then centrists can go stuff themselves. Theres no compromise between freedom and slavery, life and death. I will not meet you on the middle fields of “just against the bad ones.”

I’m the king of Lemmy anarchists and I approve this mesage!

You have to remember that 99% of people talking about “dystopian” novels mean the Hunger Games and Divergent books, maybe also Harry Potter. Dystopian YA novels were best sellers in the US for like a decade, so most peoples’ image of a dystopian protagonist is a teenager with limited responsibilities outside “growing up” and “overcoming the system.” And after your “youthful rebellion” against the oppressive nightmare system, you can become a cop protecting it!

If you wonder why Americans are so bad at all this stuff, it’s because generations of us were raised on fake revolution stories.

There’s an active court case in New York uncovering indications of tampering and wild statistical anomalies. This blog is a little conspiratorial sounding, but it’s also doing a difficult job of putting back together the pieces of what is looking like a well executed technological coup.

Thank you for creating alchemical programming content!

Hard to believe those lazy employees managed to cost the company so much after being fired. I suppose if I were CEO, I’d allow them to come back to work but only at reduced pay and with the understanding that there will be no more pizza parties and other luxury perks. Workers need to earn those kinds of benefits by achieving record setting profits.

Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll be the first to WW3

Seems like a quite modest proposal, I’ll be sure to write my M.D. senator right away requesting this level of pro-life commitment in my own state as well.

I understand now!

As a cardinal, he was fine.

But when a cardinal becomes Pope, he dies and also goes woke.

Now, we can remember his name.

His name… Is Robert Prevost.

His name is Robert Prevost!

So are there thousands of trump cultists ruining america (by strategicaly placing themselves in positions of power like voting volunteers, judges, sheriffs, and so on) or not?

Are you suggesting 100 million people voted for Trump and then went home to celebrate but otherwise didn’t do any fascist stuff? Didn’t take over any PTA’s to get books banned (documented) or take over any courts (some supreme ones even, perhaps) so that laws could be overturned and election decisions quickly made in Trump’s favor?

That 30-ish% (or more) of Americans like and support fascism is a real problem. Its been a real problem for… roughly all of human history that 1/3 of us are selfish monsters that lack empathy.

Trump stole the election. He announced he would, his lackeys did extensive voter suppression work, and then he bragged about doing it afterwards. He didn’t win a fair election, and it’s disgusting that the narratives have fully blown past that.

The wealthiest people on Earth believe that we’re in an “end game” of some sort, and that now is the time to do everything in their considerable power to consolidate rule before the big collapse sets in. This isn’t an America problem, it’s a World Class War and the USA isnt even the first battlefield, just currently the most visible failure of the lower classes to fight back.

The country has collapsed several times, because of those things. The Civil War was the US collapsing over the rich landowners refusing to move away from slavery. The great depression was also a collapse of the old order, and ushered in the current MIC-based order.

The solution to the Civil War and slavery was Reconstruction, which was so successful that the rich rallied a counterrevolution to resuppress people. The solution to the great depression was the war economy and global looting that kicked off after WW2. Looting the planet with petrodollars has kept Americans complacent and happy enough til now but the rich have run out of places to loot other than home.

So now we’re back in crisis, perched on the edge of a new collapse. After several million or billion people are killed by disasters and genocide, things usually settle back into a prosperous mode for the survivors for a while until the stupid rich take over and collapse the system out of greed. Again.
