    I get you, but as someone who just started with the litrpg genre because i avoided it due to the people who liked it, I’m just saying that sometimes you may be missing something you love because most of the people who like it are dumb and most of the genre is garbage.

    BBT is a bad show, but that’s not a good reason not to watch it, that’s just a dumb person who can only relate to reality through media references.

    Just to be clear I’m not saying to watch it, but that a stupid person liking something isn’t a reason to reject the thing…


  • That’s the thing, even if that was their goal there was a path through existing structures for that. The CHIPS act was designed to onshore technological manufacturing, CHIPS sucks as it’s more trickle down bullshit, but it accomplishes the goal within the American hegemonic project. They had the plan to continue to transfer wealth to the rich under existing structures and still onshore manufacturing.

    I’m honestly not even sure trump is a Russian plant anymore, their decisions are just so stupid. America relinquishes it’s role of world police and Europe is forced to create a unified military to counter Russia, how does that help them in anyway?

    There is no plan, no one ultimately benefits, it’s just short sighted idiocy…



  • But you must realize this sign is explicitly telling you they’d rather be at brunch, it’s only when their comfort is interrupted that they will move. If your protests interrupt their brunch they will turn on you…

    I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

    I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.
