Why

Great resource and very timely. Thank you!

I have one of these on my desk and I always show it to people thinking it’s cool but they invariably react with discomfort.

Thanks. Unfortunately that’s how the system works so I don’t know if I can blame him too much. But it also demonstrates why politics can’t start and end with electoralism. We need to have a base of power that is outside of these types of pressures, which can match the pull of the institutions politicians are subjected to.

True but I do feel like the issue described in the meme is one that I’ve rarely seen questioned. Ultimately, D&D was designed to be a game about murdering the bad guys, and while you can play a different type of campaign if you really want to, it would be a bit like using your mattress as a raft.

So for me as someone who is fairly committed to nonviolence outside the game, it’s just too difficult to run a campaign that really shakes the foundations in this way.

But how would you get access? Government worker I guess?

Bats > cars

No one tells me to put clothes on.

Most outlets seem to be reporting it’s a romantic relationship but I’m not sure what evidence there is for this, if any.

Well, I don’t have direct experience but I’ve heard from some trans women that some conservative men have an obsession with them exactly because it is transgressive. So I’m not sure if it is more or less uncommon.

What did he do?

This probably won’t help but I get excited when I see people in these mobility scooters. It’s nice to see options for people with mobility issues to get around without having to drive (or be driven) everywhere.

I think we gotta normalize considering these being rad as hell but I know we’re not there yet.

I agree. This person is a conservative. The other “conservatives” are just fascists who inherited the label and it no longer fits.

I’m assuming this is a joke but is it actually possible to see such files somehow?

Lots of MAGA people date trans actually. We really don’t know anything concrete about his views or why he did this and people need to accept that.

It’s called motivated reasoning. If you asked them outside of this context you would get the correct and obvious answer but now that their pet theory depends on it they will pretend there is no such thing.

Boy, conservatives sure love their free speech.

None of this relates to what I was saying. The UK already had its own sovereign government, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to leave so easily.

I’m just saying the feds didn’t have so much power people wouldn’t pay so much attention to them and would pay more attention to their local stuff. Which would be good for democracy.

I’d like to see government focused on the neighborhood level whenever possible. Only move up to the next one if there is an unsolvable issue.

This is not the only change that’s needed so it won’t fix everything on its own but it would allow people to make much more effective decisions about their own lives instead of people in Kansas deciding things about local DC law enforcement like we do now. That’s bonkers.

Fuck Charlie Kirk, fuck the right, fuck WaPo, FUCK BEZOS!

Support independent media. The regime is tightening its grip on mainstream outlets. Dissent there becomes more difficult every day.

You’re in an echo chamber. There’s been conflicting evidence but no clear ideology that I have seen confirmed. The left is only focused on the evidence he was a right winger and if you go to right-wing forums they’re fixated on the things that suggest he was left-wing.

But we really don’t know for sure. Which still makes Trump’s actions unhinged but that usually goes without saying.
