PRP’s story demonstrates the (rueful) value of electoral work. People get in, do the work, see how the deck is stacked and how it plays out, move left.

Respectfully, you don’t know me. I am no MAGA and it’s not over.

In the 50+ years since the Southern Strategy, do you see evidence that the Democratic Party is capable of systemic change, much less of leading the country toward it?

The two-party system has driven untold misery at home and abroad. What most Americans see as our past stability, many other humans see as looting the globe and driving its people into poverty and servitude.

The idea that change can only ever come through voting and elected representatives, around here, that’s called electoralism. No shade, many people of goodwill thought that was the best they could do. The most casual reading of history shows clear alternative paths.

FYI the Indivisible campaign in the US has attempted your proposal, Tea Party strategy from the liberal “left”

CW: suicide

IMO Suicide and Mental Health, Steve Bannon and Philosophy/White Guys were all bangers. Several others made good points

I won’t defend the whole catalog but I sure as hell couldn’t pump out quality vids for 12 years

I’ll check out Tom Nicolas

feckless [Dems]

The US Democratic Party is a patronage network for political donations and jobs in the field. This operation is successful on its own terms.

Awareness of political realities will move the conversation away from the totally fake, very well reinforced narrative that they are an opposition political party in the business of opposing anything, much less anything risky.

I used this once

Hit me

I am a child so Sometimes a spoonful of sugar makes the theory medicine go down, you know? But yeah bad when such creators overdo it

Comment too earnest and real to make snarky clapbacks on “foot shortages” 0/10 do not recommend

Seriously though, the fog of irony and nihilism is so heavy round here it can make threads with integrity and humanity even harder to take

Organize and build community, worst case we’ll have someone to share the eulogies with

Ima check this out after Luna Oi

Robert Anton Wilson said GW and Jefferson correspondence on hemp cultivation mentions best practices for upping THC content

Even if false this makes a good story

Even if this is a substandard poopost it was a chance to give a shout out to RAW

Yooo well said

In addition, the more renegade your character, you take on more facial deformities. I’m told this is a direct cop from KOTOR and a parallel mechanic there for Sith vs Jedi decision making. Because as all citizens of Treatlandia know, good people are pretty and bad people are ugly. As I recall in 2, your character won’t reach the apex of power unless you are 100% paragon or renegade

Did anyone play Frost punk 2? I know little about the series

No. Not even once.

Please destroy ME in detail since I never played Dragon Age

Also what games or media did this kind of thing well

Happy December

People made thoughtful replies to my thread (https://hexbear.net/post/6897557?scrollToComments=false) which was heartening

Also I hate when neoliberals are smarter and better read than me. I guess they are just building an elegant house on sand

Has Left vibes without a doubt and more so as the thing goes along

Excellent post ty

Some smokin hot replies in this thread, very grateful

Saying “vibes” was a bit sloppy. It’s on my mind because a lot of chud/lib rhetoric is hooked on a feeling. (many lefties aren’t structurally different.) Something close to vibes is essential to these ideologies. The superstructure as I understand it is very diverse just like the base, things like science and art don’t follow the same rules as vapid influencer style “discourse” or ignorant MSM thinkpieces

Also I talk to libs, chuds and other fools a lot so I’m real interested in translating back and forth

I’m convinced that vibes cast their own shadows. Ideas that cause people to help or stab others drive real experiences. I feel like political ideologies or communities aren’t really of the same substance as hallucinations or fantasies… but I said feel, so I’m vibing, right?

IDK I’m pondering not propounding so still exploring the subject not advancing any thesis really, yet

Did not expect this fellow to be invoked on this topic. read both of these but I was even more ignorant at that time so could usefully revisit

Did any of us read Eminent Domain, Carl Neville? As I said I r noob so not clear if it passes muster theory wise, but I enjoyed it and creatively done + thought provoking

What of Andor? IMO it’s in a different category from prestige level slop.

Astonishing post btw
