Yeah, but the UK (rightfully) travel-banned Kanye! I know the muskrat is on a whole different level, but I choose to live in hope.

sometimes, bad faith actors and bad people take hold of something otherwise innocent, and by association destroy it or make it also bad. They ruin it by proxy. That sucks.

but it happens, and it isn't the fault of those who point that out or discuss it. It's the fault of those who ruined it

I figure it was due to institutions like the John Birch Society remaining yo haunt American society.

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

I sincerely believe that the loss of the Greatest Generation is to blame for the present wave of such casual fascism.

this is undoubtedly an extremely fucked POV, and wholly unnecessary to even entertain in the first place, because the creeps that are propping this game up aren't really making any kind of secret about why they're doing so because they go unpunished for it. why make things up when they're all honest

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Wait there are people who actually believe that Gaddafi was going to form the "United States of Africa"?

People do know what he thought of Africans right?

The future can be cool sometimes

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

These results demonstrate in stark terms how vital shots are and what’s at stake if policy changes interfere with Americans’ ability to vaccinate their kids.

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

I think about this all the time

if executives just actually gave even a smidgeon of a shit about appealing to an audience and giving them what everyone can clearly see they want, there'd be untold millions- billions maybe- up for grabs.
there are so many underserved HUGE denominations clambering for ANY scraps right now

The last few decades made me think the GOP made a pact with Mammon or some other dark force to get this lucky.

No credit at all.

"Some cultures are dysfunctional and regressive," say the white guys deliberately trying to make ours dysfunctional and regressive.

Among the many should-immediately-end-this-presidency daily scandals is the fact that the current administration is dismantling research on the most incredible new scientific advance in the last several decades. Literally killing people.

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is

Yeah, Donnie has dementia, I'm not surprised.

I'm more focused on how Anthropic's CEO shares a first name with a Marvel supervillain.

Thinking about Clarence Thomas and his sister and aunt today.

The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

this is fucking nuts:

Oh, he's as bat**** as his wife.

Hey look at that everyone we’re all gonna get a live lesson in what the phrase “the coverup is worse than the crime” means
