Except it’s not.
The Dems do the GOP’s job, yes, but they do it quietly and without ceremony where the GOP loudly proclaims it from the rooftops.
But the Dems are having a much harder time doing this as things get worse. There will come a moment within the near future when they can no longer pretend they’re the “good guys” because the average person isn’t going to fall for it anymore. There will be no return to normalcy.
pal some of us want to leave because we’re at risk of being murdered by our government, not because we have less treats

Some of us are actually literate!
Sadly a lot of 40k fans are only there because “space marine cool”.

The bourgeoisie are demons wearing human skin.
Substack is not the only website that will host leftist blogs but it is the only one promoting fascism while making money from it. This is a lame excuse that distracts from the issue by attacking the people making the claim rather than the evidence behind the claim.
I don’t like the Guardian either but this is disingenuous.
🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.
Okay, let me rephrase: as long as the art & writing of the game aren’t dictated by AI then I don’t have an issue with AI in gaming.
I should have clarified that point better.
You can oppose AI slop in art/culture without being against AI for practical uses like infrastructure, military technology, economic planning, etc.
Y’know: places where AI is actually needed and useful, unlike video games.
Please stop with these strawmen, this is ridiculous.
There was an insurgency brewing in Panjshir that saw ex-government officials work with local anti-Taliban forces. I haven’t heard much about it since it started, though. I do remember a lot of calls for the US to support them but IIRC the US wasn’t interested so unsure what is going on at the moment.
I’d put it in a museum dedicated to American propaganda and replace it with a statue of Huey P. Newton.
This is pretty much how I approach it. I either learn how to pronounce it correctly or just don’t say it at all.
I think the biggest mistake people trying to understand religion often make is they keep trying to look at it as an ideology or philosophy which is just a gross oversimplification.
Religion is a faucet of human culture that reflects our desire for community, inherent curiosity for the world around us, tendency toward ritualism/routine to bring order to our disordered existence, and of course the want for a good life that all people have.
It serves as a kind of food for the soul and faith can have a demonstrably positive effect on people.
For much of human history culture, government, and religion were all one and the same - each one interconnected to give a society its identity. What went wrong was the development of hierarchy that enabled the rise of a wealthy, privileged priestly class whose interests aligned with those of the ruling class. This led to the development of dogma that allowed priests to abuse their power. As our hierarchies evolved in new and more grotesque ways the clergy became further removed from the laity - who are the real soul of a religion and ultimately reflect what it truly is about - and thus became further removed from the very faith they claimed to be guardians of.
Religion was never the problem; the problem was allowing certain people to wield power they didn’t earn over communities and dictate who and how people could worship. The solution to modern organized religion and the abuses it inflicts on the public are to dismantle these conduits of authority. Not only are they unnecessary but they inflict harm on their communities - as well as those of others - while serving the interests of the bourgeoisie.
Once the charlatans are removed faith will return to its roots of organic development and will start reflecting the values of its community instead of trying to define those values in a way that benefits those at the top at the expense of those at the bottom.
The same friend I mentioned in the OP lives in London and she hates it lmao.
