In the original Matrix movie, the spoon represents an essentialist view of gender and in a wider cis-accessible sense, the ruling ideology. By understanding that there is no spoon, Neo banishes false consciousness and achieves the full potential for self-actualization and unlimited kung-fu skills. In this essay, i will …
I can’t stop calling this guy Furzgesagt
Yeah sure, the guys who would fall for “hey, we do not give a shit about your material problems, do you want to pick up a rifle and be a murdering tool of our empire instead?” will pick fascism with lanyard cringelord aesthetics over mask-off fascism. How far does this ridiculous dork have his head up his own ass to convince himself this plan could work?
pretty sure he’s with Trump, I’ve never seen even district management dress like that.
Yeah, that guy looks like SS to me (still can’t believe Amerikans literally call the personal guard of their political leaders the SS)
Particularly bad episode of Kitchen Nightmares meets the energy of Frittte Girl from Disco Elysium
The modus operandi is less West Bank and more cult compound, or just large parts of the nazi scene in a Western city buying cheap, abandoned houses in an almost-ghost town in the East. I can dig up sources, but i don’t know anything in English about this.
As a card-carrying weirdo sex German, i object to being compared to Rammstein.
But yes, it shouldn’t surprise anybody that people who spent their youth as punks and goths in East Germany regularly got into fights with nazi skins, the fash basically tried to conquer that place immediately after the DDR fell and that has always included lots of street violence. Basically every leftist space there has been won by punching nazis in the face until they mostly gave up on the area, and after more than 30 years of fascist organizing and downright settlement policies, and tons of leftist or just not-fascist people moving away from dying towns ravaged by neoliberal shock treatment, there aren’t many of these places left.
a woke dog that sprays me in psychoactive chemicals to tell me things like “the working class needs you” sounds like a pretty cool pet, ngl
“Container, container”-Song from Disco Elysium intensifies
“Who does your gut tell you the source of Revachol’s problems is?”
“Uhm … the wokes?”
“Yes, them, but also … Wöjacks.”
“Wöjacks?”
“Yes, Wöjacks. Jacks of Wö.”
Because they’re committing war crimes against Italians:
A primary cause of Italy’s reported embargo and Meloni’s open declaration of it is Israel’s recent attacks on peacekeepers in the United Nations’ Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL), to which Italy is the largest contributor of troops.
Before this, Italy kept signing arms deals with Israel in spite of the war crimes in Gaza.
That’s actually less complicated than how weed legalization works in Germany. I can legally light up a splif when i step out my back door, but not when i step out of my front door, because smoking in public has extremely specific zoning restrictions and you constantly go from a “fine to smoke” to a “smoking is a misdemeanor” zone. There are interactive maps that show you were it’s legal to light up and everything.
Yeah, that’s about what i would’ve expected. I’m also expecting this to have gotten better in 5th edition, at least this goes for VtM. I haven’t looked into the new edition of WtA yet, but the sales blurb reads like this:
Gaia is dying. The ices melt, while the seas swell. The heat rises, while the forests wither. Extinction threatens millions, in favor of the few.
Honestly, i’d absolutely play a game of “angry working class puppygirls blow up a pipeline in the Rust Belt” with my friends, the question is how easy it is to play it like that instead of “having antibiotics is weakening the gene pool.”
I am glad i have no idea who this guy is, but from what i’ve read about him on here in the last two days, i’m getting the impression that being the most extreme carricature of a gamer drowning in his own filth is kinda his brand.
It should be noted that they are all firmly at the neocon end of that pipeline, and that most of the membership today never were trots or any other kind of marxist to begin with.
In some cases, it’s a lot worse than that, clan Ravnos was made up mostly of Sinti and Roma people and their clan weakness was literally “you compulsively commit crime”. They axed that part in 5th edition, which is at least aware of a lot of the criticism around the old stuff, but the new version of the clan isn’t exactly stellar for other reasons.
idk if people who have English as their first language feel the same way about it, but conker, especially in a phrase like “men’s world conker championship”, always sounds like some regional British slur to me.
oWoD had a ton of problematic shit like this, we’re talking about a universe were an entire vampire clan is one giant antiziganist stereotype. I can’t say much about any edition of Werewolf, but Vampire was bad in this regard. The “white” in White Wolf can be extremely prominent at times and i’m absolutely, with 100% certainty, expecting the older Werewolf stuff to have ecofash “humanity is cancer” moments in it. It’s a purposefully edgy game from the 90s, it’s a given it hasn’t always aged well.
With WoD in general, it’s in the nature of the game that you absolutely should do a Session Zero where you set boundaries for the content. It’s a horror game, in the case of Werewolf it’s about turning into an unstoppable, instinct-driven death machine with anger issues, it will get intense at times when your group gets deeply enough into it and that only works when you establish ways to deal with players being overwhelmed and set hard limits beforehand. And that includes politics, ethics and how to deal with topics that have problematic implications. It can mean leaving certain aspects out of the game, or changing them, or making a certain attitude towards them part of your chronicle tenets.
It’s funny how literally every single org, pundit, party and news outlet that tells me how much Palestinians supposedly hate me is also hell-bent on making my life as a trans person as hard as they possibly can, and by funny i mean i want to send in the mfing tanks.
