The oppressors' first act will be to weaponize the law, making resistance illegal. When their victims find ways around the law, the oppressors will weaponize social taboos and mob rule. When public opinion turns against them, oppressors will just use fucking weapons. Killing people for the appearance of resistance. What part of the story are we at?
I wanna put my trust in people, but people are some of the most ignorant, self destructive, motherfuckers in known existence and I can't. I just fucking cant with these people.
RE: https://mastodon.social/@timberwraith/115963522751003901Wasn't Dick "Any Reason To Kill People" Cheney at least willing to be fucking quiet on LGBTQIA issues because of family? Was Harris, and every front runner in the Dems, right of him on these issues? Like, am I having an aneurysm here?
I'm really tired of the media going apeshit over military forces planning and practicing for military conflicts with neighbors and allies. Especially shit like "Canada modelling for US invasion; planning mass casualties"It's always been done. It's what a military does when the nation is threatened.And finally it you don't fucking include "Because TRUMP IS FUCKING INSANE" in the gods damned titles - you're just feeding raw meat to the fucking gremlins who support his bullshit!
RE: https://anarres.family/@faithisleaping/115916052253422801The entirety of this. Like all of it. Rationalism isn't a damn superpower. It's a tool. Making it the only tool is how the French created the Reign of Terror. Hell, a thousand massacres, war crimes and genocides started with weak ass men "thinking about it rationally". Rationalism causes harm, just as easily as emotions. Especially when either are used as cover for the actual bigotries or ignorance the decisions are really being made with.
It always seems far off, till it's not. It always sounds like deranged rambling, till it's not. It always feels like conspiracy tripe, until it's not. It always someone else's problem, until it's fucking not.
@Kalshann not every death by a cop is murder. Don't say it is. It weakens the legitimisy the times that it is. Even if a lot of that are . The USA has to many guns and cops need to protect themselves too. Black Lives Matter, but also cops lives matter.All innocent lives matter.
There is a special and unique kind of frustration when you think up a plot for a campaign (for a #ttrpg ) that is 100% interesting to you and you fucking remember you don't have a gaming group anymore! [shakes fist at sky]
