Your politics are a product of your material conditions, and whichever class you are in your rational political interests are at odds with the interests of the other class.

If you are a worker, you are at odds with the owning class. You cannot reason your boss into giving you the value you produce.

If you personally feel comfortable and it’s not a big deal to you maybe you can just ignore it. But political disagreement arises from the opposed interests of the groups that compose a society.

What divides us is fundamental. What unites us with our rulers is obfuscation of that.

Americans have a terminal case of coconut tree brain, and refuse to believe they live in the context.

What about religious people who believe their fundamentalist version of an abrahamic religion is also simulation theory for some reason?

I’m sure nobody being able to afford to learn advanced sciences will not affect the empire in the slightest.

Meaningful? Yes, nothing.

Technically between now and when the interest easement started some people have had less interest to pay and lower payments. But presumably that will stop too.

Thanks Joe.

Looks like we also lost Val. Wonder where everyone’s going.

Yeah that kinda sneaked up on me. I wasn’t expecting to be through Vol.2 before August. Feels good to know progress.

No! Hex is gone?! Did the horse come inside or did Hex wander out? I know they wandered around a lot but I hadn’t seen many people going outside once the pasture was moved to the hilltop.

If we’re only using the bolts for hunting we could use bone, if we wanted to save copper for other uses. But it’s pretty common anyway, not sure how much it matters.

When I predicted Zulban being a problem I didn’t anticipate it becoming so acute so quickly. Yikes.

Woooooooo

I’m all for resisting fascism. The question is to what end, what exactly does delegitimizing the center right democratic party’s opposition accomplish when they have a demonstrated willingness to target and sacrifice marginal groups in the pursuit of compromise with the fascists? Labour just won an astonishing victory in the UK. Unforced by opposition they are going after trans people, trans people who presumably helped give them that historic win.

By all means we should stop fascism where we can. But I’m not convinced doing it in this context, primarily as a messaging and PR win that will, let’s be honest, only benefit Democrats, really moves the ball.

Or maybe I’m just in a bad mood. Feels ominous here lately.

Americans have the memory of goldfish. I had someone tell me they like how genuine he is, they’ve completely forgotten him being never-Trump and getting dunked on for kissing Donald’s ass and begging for help to get his seat.

It wouldn’t be sporting to try to win while your opponent is milking an amazing PR development.

He’s not doomed if you sweetie.

Genuinely bizarre to see the facade of reason come unglued. Sure guys, he’s doing great, just look at him.

But have you considered that they fly their jets close to our spy planes that are hovering around their airspace? Menacingly?

Honestly I think he could weather this if that’s all that happens. We were supposed to see nearly 50 public calls for him to stop running by the end of tomorrow. I was pretty sure more would materialize today.

If they slow roll it they’re just letting him reassure himself and not spooking the flighty ones into publicly criticizing him. I can imagine them running out of momentum over the weekend if they don’t have something else planned. And then what?

It will be fascinating to see who blinks first- what is the red line for the rebels to cut their losses before they make things even worse, if it becomes clear the oatmeal brained man will not clear the way?

It’s great that this will be how he is remembered. He deserves worse but it’s something.

Added you to the roll call.

Sweet! Strike the earth! And feel free to dm me if you have questions about stuff. Assuming I did those things I may have an explanation.

I dunno if the fact the beast didn’t have eyes actually made any difference or what.

I appreciated going to the effort to retrieve your weapon only to turn around and bite your assailant. Just needed it for emotional support I guess.
