libertarianism is about how the government should f off (appealing if you’re already rich)

fascism is about how all power should be vested in a single person who leads everyone towards the will of the nation (appealing if you’re stupid and a bit of a romantic)

admittedly today’s “libertarians” are often in name only

(inhales in bill maher)

See this is what’s wrong with leftists these days. They got too radicalized by their tumblr polycule echo chambers to understand that living in REAL WORLD requires COMPROMISES. I fully support orphans rights to stay on this god’s green earth. But I’m also an adult, I understand how some people think we would’ve been better without them. I mean, this whole dilemma could’ve been avoided if everyone had at least one parent, is this really too high of a bar for today’s youths to not be tiny parasite bastards? What I’m JOKING is it ILLEGAL to joke nowadays? Are you going to run to your central committee throuple to CANCEL me?

Anyway I think mars is a good middle ground

I wanna know how much time each panel took

Kind of a lose-lose situation tbh

I understand how it can be a lesser evil when the other (less democratic) party is doing it, but “safe” seats are also terrible for the in-party competition. Yay to more status quo candidates from the dems.

The one I read was a collection of silly sketches and some light leftist social critique, but he was Danish communist iirc and worked with the soviets a lot, so I’m not surprised he drew propaganda too

My dad had a small paperback of Bidstrup’s comics, I loved reading them! Especially since some of them were quite dirty 😆

goose-stepping will be done in the exact same uniforms but I do agree with everything else.

While difference between giving and following orders is meaningful, that does not free the latter people from responsibilities.

Obviously that doesn’t condemn every soldier for the horrible shit their country have done (Cambodia?..) but this “respect the uniform” crap is also ridiculous.

Perpetual mana machine? Magical power MLM? Cultist cooperative?

either way I’m in

SEDUCE ME

I love collective storytelling elements as a gm, hate them as a player though – I wanna relax, pretend to be a person and explore the world, not think about what makes a better story.

Blades in the dark which has a similar thing (I think) is fun but not in a usual carefree manner.

Ironsworn in gm-less mode is an extreme version of that

Early 20th century Italian fascists had a popular slogan “Me ne frego”, meaning “I don’t care”.

People don’t really change.

Im not really asking from a power-dynamics standpoint, more as a narrative tool. As a gm I change the world to make what I see as a better story (no cheating necessary I’m literally the universe).

Like, if the players do an ambush of BBE and (according to the rules) one-shot 'em, he’d have a shielding amulet leaving him heavily maimed but alive. Not cause how dare you kill my beautiful npc, it’s just kinda anticlimactic otherwise. (Unless the ambush was a huge challenge in itself. Then we’re good, murder away)

But maybe dnd crowd agrees that stat blocks are implicit part of the game and changing them is cheating idk

I haven’t played much dnd, do people expect stat blocks to be fixed? Like, is meta knowledge such a part of the game that its a dick move for gm to change it?

not rn its low on cyan

players reading way too much into every random detail: damn so you planned this the entire time??

me who’s still not sure what the plot was: hm? oh yea totally

Look, to live together we have to learn to compromise.

Here’s a list of your friends, cross the ones you like the least.

if you’re smart enough to know how dumb you are, you’re not that dumb.

or something idk

The problem since has been solved, I was replying to your initial position of it never bothering normal people, which is incorrect

“there you go” as in “thank you for explaining why a forced unexpected update from your os in the middle of your work could bother you”?

you’re welcome
