slurpyslop,

historically "vote for us because we're not them" is a very ineffective way of winning elections

slurpyslop,

and one of those elections he won?

also, during the 2020 campaign, trump's base's biggest complaint was generally that he was running on a platform of "i'm not biden", so i guess both cancelled out

slurpyslop,

trump's platform seems more to be "the election was stolen", which his base believes

biden's base on the other hand is horrifically split over his mishandling of israel, and arguably the demographics that are credited with democratic wins in 2022 are most effected

his poll numbers are in the shitter, and over the last two presidential elections polls have been incorrectly biased towards the democratic candidate

slurpyslop,

i do find it slightly horrifying that in romania they can just decide to put you in prison indefinitely without having to prove you did anything

slurpyslop,

i'm not defending tate he deserves to rot in prison

i'm saying that a government shouldn't have the power to just dump you in prison without having a reason for it

when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged

being absolutely fine with a system that allows that because in this instance it happened to fall onto a guy you don't like is brain rot

you think the osu protestors that were just released without being charged would've been released at all without a law requiring them to be charged within 24 hours?

banning and deleting your multiple accounts troll accounts defending Tate

i have literally no idea what you're talking about and it makes you sound unhinged

slurpyslop,

when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged

slurpyslop,

it's absolutely baffling to me that tankies can look at us hegemony, and then at all the problems that arise from superpowers throwing their weight around on the world stage, going back to pretty much the point the concept of a "great power" came into existence, and then go "china will be different when it's in charge"

slurpyslop,

yeah but ultimately it doesn't matter because the end product is good on the whole

i feel those kinds of details are exactly what meddlers would want to meddle in, when the entire argument of the article is that the game manages to be good on the whole not despite its lack of meddlers but because of it

slurpyslop,

if you respond to "touch grass" with anything along the lines of an imperious "hah what fallacious and illogical reasoning" while pushing up your glasses on the bridge of your nose like an anime villain, then yes i think it might be meadow time for you

slurpyslop,

you can be incredibly passionate while still having mbas breathing down your neck

if you don't think there was a ratio of developers to neck-breathers of at best 2:1 at blizzard you have more faith in their internal management than me

slurpyslop,

larian isn't making bg4, and hasbro are

absolutely

going to fuck it up trying to milk it

slurpyslop, (edited )

insisting on the use of "/s" to denote sarcasm is actually a worse crime than anything mao or stalin ever did

no i will not be taking questions

slurpyslop,

if it means my children will grow up in a bright future of /s-less sarcasm, then i go gladly to meet my fate

slurpyslop,

voting for a government that's enabling a genocide is voting for that genocide to continue, no matter how you decide to answer on a poll

slurpyslop,

Hate to break this to you but they do not hear you and they never will.

You're arguing that your vote doesn't matter. If that's true, why vote at all?

Your vote can't simultaneously be important enough to swing an election, and insignificant enough that the democratic party is fine to just ignore it. So which is it?

slurpyslop,

you can talk around it with all the mental gymnastics you like, but ultimately voting for biden is a signal to the democratic party that their base doesn't care about genocide enough to not vote for him, which is all they care about

slurpyslop,

why would you assume a change of policy at all over any timescale if you keep electing people propping up a genocide?

slurpyslop,

implying palestine will last until january

oh ho ho

if you're fine with the trade off, make the trade off and vote biden

just don't pretend the trade off isn't happening

slurpyslop,

why would you expect substantial change at any point if you re-elect a party after they spent a year propping up a genocide?

slurpyslop,

continuing to vote for the mildly genocidal party is not going to make the mildly genocidal party less genocidal

slurpyslop,

i don't think the current round of genocide will last until january, no, whether or not a state called palestine is left standing or not

you're trading in the lives of the next palestine

slurpyslop,

an incumbent has literally never lost a primary

biden was always more or less guaranteed to be the democratic nominee if he wanted to be

slurpyslop,

the math is pretty clear

for the immediate next election cycle, yes

for the next time there's a palestine, very much no

slurpyslop,

palestine is a unique situation? buddy there's literally three attempted genocides going on at the moment. it's not unique by any stretch of the imagination
