Um, it was the Interior Ministry that defeated Ashina. And the person most directly responsible for weakening Ashina is Owl. Almost everything Wolf does to damage Ashina was Owl’s manipulation.
Genichiro’s whole motivation relies on Ashina being doomed, and that was long before he knew who Wolf was. Ishin also explicitly knows that his shogunate is on the clock and makes little effort to save Ashina or himself.
I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....
For some reason began going down a rabbit hole thinking about this. Let’s say you are blind, and reliant on a guide dog, but end up in prison for a non-violent crime like possession of illegal drugs. Are you allowed to keep the dog? No, right? But if you are entirely reliant on the guide dog to perform daily tasks, how do you...
Ironically medical care is a right to prisoners but it’s not for everyone else.
Medical care in US prisons is largely handled by a few for-profit companies that make money by providing inadequate care or refusing care at all. Prisoners routinely die from medical neglect. Healthcare behind bars is more capitalism, not less.
Oh, and healthcare is not a right, it’s the State’s duty to care for people in it’s custody. That means prisoners have no agency over their care. For example if you’re arrested at an accident, the EMTs gain consent from the police, not the patient. This is how EMTs can administer anti-psychotics and strong sedatives on the sidewalk after the pigs have kicked your ass.
James “JP” Staples has been expelled by Phi Delta Theta. When a Mississippi frat throws you under the bus for being too racist, you’re not going to have a good time.
If you want an institution that keeps the peace, protects citizens, and is accountable for use of force, then you’ll have to create one whole-cloth. Because the police are not that institution and they never were intended to be.

Just going to point out the irony that modern Europeans are descended from migrants that infiltrated the Continent and interbred with the locals until their genes and culture were dominant.
It’s kinda hard to describe. I recon it’s a parable about American colonization and the genocide of the native people. Like a map of how a project like that gets done and who benefits from it.
It’s like a melodrama in that it’s light on plot, and character motivation, but without the extreme circumstances unless you count the pervasive, persistent, and senseless violence. (that the characters themselves barely seem to notice) Not exactly a supernatural tale, but filled with dream logic, oh and the literal Christian Devil is one of the main characters.
This is the only book Ive ever read twice, back to back. I got to the end and was like WTF, turned to the first page and started again.
Satan plays the fiddle. This is not just the country song, but folklore going back to Medieval Europe. The early Catholic Church frowned on dancing which the violin was associated with.
In the 19th Century, Nicolo Paganini was rumored to have gotten his talent on that instrument through a pact with the devil, which may have inspired 20th century folklore about Robert Johnson and the crossroads.
Edging plutonium into criticality with a screwdriver is like lighting a match to get a better look at a stick of dynamite. It’s embarrassing that it got two people this way.
