Even in the cases where they don’t have much legal clout the modern royal still gets a load of cutouts and are sitting on an assload of money, don’t they?

Is there any reason I shouldn’t start just actively identifying as pro-soros when dealing with more conspiritorially minded right wingers? I don’t really give a shit about anything but pissing them off as hard as humanly possible at every single opportunity.

And I trust those cities far more than everything else. Not to imply they're ran by the best and brightest, by any means, but that shit sucks a lot less than the gormless fucks running all those red counties

I love that guy’s style. It’s like he saw that David Dees collage of Obama resurrecting Marx and thought “god damn, I wish” too

The thing that irritates me the most is the way they just kind of throw all the cultural causes I consider important under the bus.
(I.e. buying into conservative culture war dreck and high-control cultural norms uncritically)

Sick cover art. Bet that shit took three days in all the photoshops
Also of course it sounds like a Rockstar North level parody of conservative media

Virtual-on OST - She's Lost Control
Between the Viper II's special move being called the She's Lost Control dive and Oratorio Tangram straight up quoting Everyone Everywhere in the ending, someone on the Virtual-On devteam really liked Joy Division/New Order.

Anyone have any recommendations for sci-fi/fantasy that specifically deconstruct the genre’s bent towards restoration fantasy?
These are video games, but Dark Souls and Warframe kind of hit on the sort of notes I’m thinking of. I feel like MOTHER 3 could be read as a critique of restoration fantasy, too, with the self-serving main villain’s attempts at rebuilding the old world by plundering a new world that’s moved on just kind of ruining everything for everyone
The Dark Tower spends a lot of time showcasing just how bad the golden age sucked, but Steven King’s politics are still too moderate for this angle to really fully be born out.

So Long, Astoria.
For anyone who actually wants a sequel for some reason, Konami made a NES game that’s pretty solid.

To-do: Start talking down to American evangelicals the way they do practitioners in other religions, particularly indigenous ones
Nice thing about not really giving a shit what happens to me or anyone else is that all this, then, has effectively zero consequences. A maximally inflammatory strategy for dealing with these people, then, becomes desirable. (Pissing them off as hard as humanly possible is all i've really wanted all along anyhow. The grand worldbuilding projects and philosophical pablum are all just kind of a front to get by in a society that usually expects you to have some deep reason for these things, and "I have a 20 year grudge with the right that i fully intend to be what dictates the direction the rest of my life takes" doesn't usually pass muster as a motivation under those circumstances anyhow.)

Yeah, I was kind of assuming the threshold would be if some senator's kid dies as a result of one of these campaigns, but you never really know.

I sort of wonder how long the whole "Directionless internet hate mobs" thing can last. One of these days they'll cross someone who has legal clout, and when that happens everyone else who uses the internet is gonna end up footing the bill.

Anyone got leads on podcasts that serve as direct critiques of right wing media, along the lines of Knowledge Fight, The Audit, or (at times) The Worst of All Possible Worlds? Can be anything from serious analysis to Mystery Science Theater shenanigans. Hosts getting as apoplectically angry as I am not required, but desired.
