That’s ok…science will bring me presents!

"Because we CAN and its FUN!"

4chan won, they're going to go full mask off.

All that talent wasted on trolling a cozy game.

I'm sure someone much smarter than I have made this connection, but does anyone else feel like burgerland is both a colony (I mean, it is a settler colonial nation but you know what I mean) by the ruling class as well as an empire?

The United States seems to be unique in how it embraces the imperial boomerang almost as part of its culture. In political science there's this guns vs butter concept which is balancing how much to spend on defense and similar things (guns) vs butter (social programs, or pretty much everything else). The US subsidizes a lot of Europe's military and this country is almost happy to be Europe's personal attack dog, most likely to help it exploit Latin America and the Caribbean much more effectively. Domestically, austerity is practically a way of life. Little to no workers rights, abysmal and ugly infrastructure, a decreasing literacy rate, no universal healthcare, and education is now changing to be something only for the rich with literacy rates going down the toilet and a culture of fervent anti-intellectualism. All of this really makes you think "all that imperialism for THIS!?" But then that hit me: what if all this exploitation isn't solely the idea of the American elites. Sure, they most definitely benefit a lot, but I doubt that they're the sole beneficiaries as the ruling class is every bit as internationalist as the proletariat, so no doubt that American elites have a stronger sense of class solidarity than their so-called "nationalistic" fervor they so hypocritically claim.

I'm already aware of shit like segregation and both The Color of Law and The New Jim Crow are on my reading list, so I know that this is the case because of what the federal government as done to non-white communities, but ironically the imperial boomerang steps in and they do similar things to the very white people they claim to be fighting for the interests of. I forgot where, but a kkk member joked that if they ever got their ethnostate they'd just oppress each other.

Another kkkrackkka down!

She didn’t offer voters what they really wanted

Which is….

…oh, actually being a politician and delivering on issues is the crass tactic they’re talking about.

Found out about Webfishing. Pretty good game and the userbase is pretty wholesome.

Cozy game + LGBT support seems to be good enough tourist repellent, but I’m sure dipshit trolls are planning something.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: I thought techbros were supposed to be smart.

I never want to see Thielcels parade around like they’re the real technocrats and we’re all just rubes.

The only good thing about republicans in charge is that it’s open season for radicalizing libs.

I have a couple accounts for trolling and this is what I do. Any time there’s a major fuckup, I try to say something along the lines of “maybe the rich were lying when they said lgbt people are the problem.”

Oof, seems like I just missed it.

Will this be a regular thing?

As far as the best liberalism had to offer, here's mine: Thomas Paine, Rousseau, Henry George. John Stuart Mill, Robespierre.

I feel like most of them could be comrades if push comes to shove, but they exemplify the liberalism I would more than happily live under
