  • Fascism is capitalism in decay. Modern conservatism is still an offshoot of liberalism (as compared to old conservatives who were attempting to conserve monarchy). Liberalism is a capitalist ideology defined by promotion of individual rights, civil liberties, and most importantly free enterprise and markets. Fascism is capitalism in decay because those in power will use that power to maintain their rule, through whatever means necessary. For Trump, that was Jan 6th, which is a new low for US politics, but he’s not alone in manipulating the levers of power, and neither side seems keen on removing powers from themselves when they get in power.



  • My friend, more groups were killed than just Jewish peoples in the Holocaust. Are you advocating for a state for Roma people also? Where should we get that state to give to them? There is and has been no such thing as “open” land for centuries, since the completion of the partitioning of the world between imperialist states in the previous centuries. So, by advocating for state creation, you are inherently advocating for dispossession and expulsion of those who live in that area.

    What about the indigenous Americans whom have suffered the worst known genocide in human history, should we pick a place in Europe and give them a country there by kicking out the historic residents of that region? Why is granting a people statehood your only perceived method of preventing violence?

    How and where can you set up this mythical state without inherently requiring the kinds of oppressions and violence we see in Israel?

    If the media didn’t want him to win, they shouldn’t have called the race before even 10% of the state got a chance to vote. There’s going to be hundreds, possibly thousands of people who left caucuses early when they heard the race was called. The media is not only complicit in his win there, they have also exposed themselves to retaliation from campaigns and voters alike.


  • I haven’t scrolled all the comments yet, so apologies if this has already been mentioned, but Dragon’s Dogma passing a lot of those checks, if you can get over some minor jank. It’s definitely an action oriented adventure role playing game, where you can get quests to take out minor enemies, but also can have epic battles against dragons and giants.

    A fun mechanic is clinging to and climbing larger enemies, you can for example jump up and grab the neck of a dragon and hold on while slashing at it. Or you can have your allies hold down an enemy so you can get a critical hit on it. The pawn system for allies allows you to customize and develop your allies to suit your needs and playstyle, and you can recruit other players pawns who come with their own memories and knowledges, but their voicelines can get a bit repetitive. Expect to hear “This enemy is weak to fire” a lot…

    Overall it’s a unique and interesting game, worth checking out if you haven’t. Especially if you can get it on sale for cheap.
