Not Americans. They’re kind of down for this every time.

Yes. Weeks. I’ve only out it off for weeks.

Weeks. Yes.

You elect a ruler. A person to exercise power over you. Seems fucking stupid, IMO its easier to coordinate people without that shit and it generates barriers to any kind of coordination society-wide, but it’s sort of the done thing and I’ll accept that its where both your location and mine are at right now.

Sorry you don’t live in a fantasy world where assholes who run vicious popularity gauntlets to do shitty things and exercise/conspire coercive power others are generally good considerate people.

You want to make a difference, a ‘tiny’ difference; do it your fucking self. Find others who want the sameish thing and work it out if you’re being hyperbolic about it being ‘tiny’.

Or find some way to make the tyrant you chose care. Suck his dick. Threaten his kids. Give him a pile of money in whatever way bribes are accepted where you are. Make him give a shit that you care. Or give more of a shit than the people paying/threatening him to do whatever bullshit he’s doing.

Or you can keep throwing a fucking temper tantrum about prayer not working and people not listening to you on street corners.

Why should your rulers care if you’re not a threat to their regime interests or health, or willing to give them something in return gir the consideration?

What leverage did you apply? Do you expect them to do the right thing just because its good and right? Were you literally born yesterday? Do you lack theory of mind?

Never the one you’re thinking of, though.

Offline devices would be either air gapped old windows or stability Linux, probably Debian.

I absolutely can and did. It vibrated and I had a really nice time.

By what medium did you contact your representatives? Was there perhaps a van and a dark pillowcase involved? Your message engraved on a brick? Whispered in pillow talk? Why should they give a fuck what you think if you just send an email?

What’s the problem with the concept of ‘a factory’?

Or a wrench.

Fuck India. Dog shit country. Pakistan is better (I say this confidently, knowing only that they export textiles and don’t pull this shit)

Amazon got IP for simarillion not lotr.

Bullshit. Modern star trek is fine I guess, but like, wasn’t the captain in ‘discovery’ ever so slightly faschy? There’s the ship that runs on doing mushrooms and an openly gay character. That’s like it. It’s not even the wokest star trek, what with the other one having the trans wormgirl and the sheriff who turns into a cloud for fun and the space-palestinian security officer and all the explicit antifascism while the semi-defecting fascist spy flirts with Dr. twink under the watchful eye of black space-jesus(n’awlins edition).

Compare it to actual woke fiction from the decade previous, three mediums:

Sense8(TV): the main character is just a trans woman, everything is a metaphor for ‘drugs are great, fuck the state’, and everything is queer. There’s a ‘detransition is murder’ arc. There’s a hive-mind-body-swapping orgy. Several, I think. Magical prison support is a major theme. Also prison breaks. Cops in your affinity group fucks everything up.

Pillars of eternity(video game): the druid is straight up an indigenous bisexual furry. If you’re too racist, he will seduce your wife, turn into a wolf, seduce your dog, and then steal your cart with all your beer on it on his way out. the paladin is transmasc-not-trans misotheist secret agent of kinda-revolutionary-kinda-dugallist france. he wizard is literally two spirit and a gay uptight British schoolboy/ancient appalachian party girl. The Americans worship the goddess of fire and conflict above all others and literally did the high fantasy Manhattan project to murder the god of forgiveness rebirth and being nice to each other when he popped into a dirt farmer and declared communism-jihad in canadappalachia. Everything is so Hegelian it hurts. There’s a joke ancap paladin subclass. The main plot is about the brutal violence of manifest destiny and its echoes through history, a stillbirth epidemic, and Americans all being howling fascists led by a shadow government of CIA telepaths. Doctor/scientists actually trying to solve the problem, who might even have a shot, are regularly lynched basically for being nerds.

I won’t even start on recent books, partially because I don’t look at publication dates for those, and partially because nobody else has ever read one. But let’s just say the nearest non-star-trek-branded equivalent to ‘star trek’ in literature (not a consideration in other media, went for 'within a decade) is the ‘culture’ series, which is falGsc(explicitly anarchist) where literally everyone is trans and drugs are a thing you get from your drug glands that grow in during puberty. Authority always turns out badly.

Very newsom. He’s so shit I can’t even watch the star trek cartoon.

Or like some sort of ‘we can just start offering general 4the amendment passes to cops’

Wait what? I don’t understand. How does this fuck us?

There’s some way this fucks us that I’m not seeing.

For making kids easier to rape, yes. Or finding kids to rape? For making raping kids easier. This is why I don’t like to think about elrctoralism; I find that whole process really awful to think about.

20 bucks on each fucker who passed this being a pedophile.

But… But what if the destructive urge is the creative urge?
