It would be better to say it’s broadly irrelevant to the average person. While obviously important to trans folks and their kith and kin it’s not exactly all that relevant to most people on the day to day. It’s like arguing about the finer points of middle bronze age metal working in Abkhazia.
At least in theory there’s always the issue that Republicans will use a blow to any minority to further take action against all other minorities.
Except for Rei, I’m pretty sure they are underage not sure though. Look my brain turns off in a weird way when I watch anything with sufficient ultra violence, weird sexual stuff in Hellsing for example is entirely ignored in favor of giggling while Nazis get torn apart.
If you think the moon landing conspiracy nuts are absurd let me tell you how many people believe in young earth creationism. It’s somewhere around 35 percent. Humans are stupid and I dream of abject slaughter, that aside both of these are the direct side effects of an entire industry of conspiracy peddlers. Want to weaken this nonsense try creating pressure against asswipes like Rogan or however you spell that meatheads name.
At the very least it could result in a pulling out of Iran and blocking any further attempts to fund Trump’s nonsense. Hell if they need to it’d make holding up funding a lot easier since a lot of agencies work on rather short term budgets, sure ICE may have enough budget for ages but what about say the ATF, Secret Service, or military?
Which is why I unironically wish to destroy them in particular. Not particularly picky either preferably it’d be legalistic or naturalistic but frankly if someone wanted to blare pumped up kicks and go for a walk I wouldn’t care.
The mainstream Dems as a block are rather liquid, a lot of them would fall in line if the winds blow hard enough. The problem is true asswipes like Schumer.
I feel like that’s under the banner of being called hell. But probably good to point out by itself as well.
Also Utah if you want to live in hell and be surrounded by morons I mean Mormons.
In theory he has power but I’ll remind you that his position is also quite weak. He barely got the speaker position and could easily be removed if he pisses anyone off on the Republican side. Even if he wanted to do something he’d at best be shouted down.
Not defending him mind you I want to hang and spear him but it is the reality of his power, he is less a leader and more a lightning rod.
Also most English speakers can’t read Cyrillic, even myself. I can read Runes and sound out the Hellenic alphabet but once ya get to shit like Cyrillic and Georgian I’m lost.
Yeah it was usually independent boxers being brought in hence why I said it’s weird that UFC is involved at all.
Not my fault the folks who came up with the prize shoved peace into the name, just noting that the invention of dynamite is 100 percent of great enough importance to earn a price being named after the inventor. Personally I think we should name each fields prize after a notable and respected person within the field for example Curie prize of nuclear physics, Sagan prize of astronomy, Darwin prize of biology, Tolkien prize of English literature et cetera. Fuck you Fritz Haber, you don’t get a prize you may have fed more than have ever died since civilization but mustard gas is horrifying get fucked.
You act like dynamite wasn’t one of mankinds great inventions, like unironically the dude deserves far more credit than he is often times given in the modern era. Everything from bumfuck highways to the great canal works of the 19th and 20th centuries would’ve been borderline impossible without dynamite.
The stupidity of this aside, this isn’t the weirdest thing historically. Like boxers were often brought in to train soldiers in hand to hand combat for example. But the fact its UFC in particular is kinda the problem here, it’d be less notable if it was just mixed martial artists being brought.
I’m really hoping some dipshit Republican shoots this asswipe before the primaries that’d be funny.
They better come faster or I’m raiding their fridge and leaving naught but vegetables.
Y’know maybe you’d be more convincing if you weren’t being condescending. At no point have I been a particularly ass in this conversation at least by my baseline standard. I’m firmly done with this conversation.
Yeah I don’t think we’re going to make too much more progress in this conversation since I can see that we disagree on too many baselines. Namely violence but also how much weight you put on the term revolution. For violence I’ll just say I would happily purge and resettle Utah and large chunks of the south so as you may guess I don’t much care about murder, terror, and torture so long as I agree with the end goal. Also I put basically no weight on the term revolution, revolution is just revolt with some extra letters a monarchist revolt against a republic is still a revolution if successful.
The past influences the present but sadly time is apparently linear so the reverse inherently is not possible. Also bringing up Ford and IBM is kinda well outside the period of the initial 50 years of the US existing, yes the US has had massive ties fascism both in its proto and fully formed variants. I’m not defending the modern US by any means and I’m going to make it explicit and state I consider anything within a 150 years from present to be modern, that’d make something like say The Wounded Knee Massacre modern.
I consider the promises of the revolution and it’s true potential dead by the time Andrew Jackson was president and more or less solidified by the Trail of Tears. Everything good past that point is simply resources and progress to be exploited and taken advantage of by whatever successor states form when the US collapses. There have been multiple points of salvageablity but all of them have been failures.
My point is entirely on the fact that the US wasn’t inherently fascistic in its first 50 years because the ideologies that did more directly lead to fascism were not the big name revolutionaries. By the time of the civil war for example, yeah the Confederates were out and out proto fascists same fucken retoric as well and since they weren’t purged the tainted the rest of the US.
I suspect it’s a weird inverse of survivorship bias. Just using murder as an example, 170 years ago my ancestor killed a military officer and got a 10 dollar bounty, 70 years ago my kinsmen buried bodies in the Mojave and no one took notice, nowadays someone who kills 3 random people outside of a mass shooting is very irregular and worthy of notice. You notice a speck of dirt when something is otherwise spotless.
