The shutdown is Republicans fault, in fact, they're stupid ugly people that are villains in videogames.

Afraid is the wrong word, but autism isn't good. It's bad, and if there's a way to make it stop happening as frequently going forward that's a win. Vaccines haven't been properly studied, and if we can make them safer, or at least get it on the record that they're not currently as safe as they should be...another win. And the pronoun people have been an utter disaster, including to themselves. But, yeah, these are all real issues, that are just swept under the rug for political reasons by this poster. "Here are some issues I'm dismissing out of hand, let me move on to my pet issue."
Wow, after the liberal slop, I wasn't expecting this level of racism! I'm literally shaking right now.
I hate these people and their revisionist "logic." Yeah, corporations can be bad, and make good enemies in stories. Doesn't mean "capitalism bad." No, you're not "ANTIFA." Which isn't a group, just an idea, right?! Don't you "dress up in drag" once, as a disguise, or something?! Good guys aren't "SJWs," weirdo. Fantasy world beast-folk types aren't furries. This is absurd, and I hate these disingenuous faggots.
I love the above, in combo with the Socrates quote, too. Poetry! Leftists are the prime abusers of language, and it's not even close.
Everyone on the left freaking out about Hegseth's speech is amazing.
He's 200% correct, and anyone who thinks this is "fascism" does not belong in functioning society. It's amazing how 'the military should be effective and not fat' is something they think they can stir up outrage over. I'm anti-war, but I still want a competent, non-retarded, and non-fat military. Anything less is dereliction of duty, through and through.
AVALANCHE's attack on Shinra amounted to a bee stinging a behemoth. In response, Shinra crushed their hideout under a city-sized plate. Barret even admits "saving the Planet" was an excuse—what he really wanted was revenge for Shinra burning his hometown to the ground.
Of course, they would know that if they'd actually played Final Fantasy VII*. Fucking tourists.
*OG only. The Compilation, including the Remake trilogy, is not canon.
And he's not actually saving the planet either.
The reactors aren't killing the planet. Sephiroth is. It's like these people never even finished the third disk. Seph is percolating in the crater making himself a god, guzzling up the life stream to do it. That's what is killing the planet just like that's how Jenova killed the planet she came from.
Final Fantasy 7 is a story about putting a stop to a sentient galactic virus.
I think the reactors were still hurting the planet, just less than Sephiroth/Jenova.
Here's why I think not.
Because it's just magic. Materia are just solidified, crystalized Mako in that universe. That lets regular humans use magic. They don't entirely explain the process behind it, but the "what" of is pretty clear.
The Cetra could use magic, which is drawing on the life stream and using it, naturally. This didn't harm the planet, and if did the Cetra wouldn't have done it because they worshipped the planet.
Magic isn't a permanent expenditure of the life stream. You don't cast Firaga and then there are just a few less total souls for everybody to share, forever. It filters it's way back to the greater whole of the planet by whatever means.
So using it for electricity wouldn't be a permanent expenditure either.
I fuzzily recall a piece of exposition that natural Materia would take years to crystalize. However, Shinra's Mako extraction and Materia manufacturing put a heavy strain on the Lifestream to where it doesn't have time to replenish itself.
That's why the area surrounding Midgar (and Mako reactors in general) is a barren wasteland, and it's the first thing you notice once you leave Midgar to explore the world proper.
But again that doesn't grok with what we know of the process. Using it, at all, filters it back in. Whether it's through the death of sentient creatures or the use of magic. Taking more and using it up equally quickly equates to the same thing.
It's about whether when used it is expended permanently, or if it goes back. It's also about how Jenova perverts that process by absorbing the "blood" for itself.
That's Shinra's true crime against the planet, archaeology. They dug this thing up and the cycle of parasitism started over. Shinra's actions didn't result in the Weapons awakening, it was Sephiroth that provoked that reaction.
And the whole thing really is about Jenova. FF7 is a cosmic horror game when you get right down to it. Jenova has destroyed who knows how many other planets in the universe, and who knows if it's even the only one of it's species. It's such an inherently destructive force that even putting it's cells into someone can potentially transform them into the same kind of galactic threat, ready to destroy entire planets and use the fragments to sail the cosmos until another victim is found.
With names taken right from the Zohar even. Make Grug think.
Its always funny to see Lefties try to champion AVALANCHE's actions as if they game itself doesn't immediately make it clear in no uncertain terms that not only did they accomplish nothing but they caused infinite suffering and death to everyone around them who got caught in the retaliation.
Its actually a perfect representation of how fruitless terrorism usually is, if not fully evil because of how many innocents you nonconsensually dragged into your little war. But that also criticizes the Lefties a little too accurately, so they can't comprehend it.
Spoiler, they don't belong in a functioning society. We used to have a system to lock up these people, we should bring it back.
The best part is, the picture of Trump was part of that quote. It was meant as an insult that a man nearing 80 is not prepared for war.
Ah, niggers.
Not too afraid to keep importing them. Not too afraid to keep letting them out of jail. Not too afraid to protest police who know what the problem really is and are willing to solve it.
Just afraid to tell the truth about it.
Final Fantasy VII makes a point of saying that AVALANCHE's terrorist activities were completely pointless and morally wrong, and all they accomplished was getting a bunch of innocent people killed. SHINRA Corporation didn't care in the least bit about losing a couple reactors or even a full sector of the city because they had other plans in mind and saw Midgar as a stopgap for something bigger. Near the end of the game, Barret even admits there was nothing right about what he did.
And if we're going by what the shitty remake is doing, which this memer most definitely is because I doubt it's the type to play anything made before 2020, then it's still not doing the argument any favors. In the remake continuity, AVALANCHE are completely ineffectual, and if left to their own devices, would have only committed some minor vandalism on the reactors that SHINRA would have had no issues repairing. All the big explosions that happened were the result of SHINRA blowing the reactors up themselves in tune with AVALANCHE's bombs, and AVALANCHE as a whole is only ever able to operate because various political factions in SHINRA, some in opposition of the others, let them for their own corrupt reasons. Comparing Antifa to Remake!AVALANCHE is tacitly admitting that it's just a tool of the very corrupt politicians they claim they're fighting.
I'm so glad I never bothered with the remake considering how pants on head retarded the story turned out.
Being an oldfag FF7 fan feels like watching a slow-motion train wreck.
Seems apt since the original opening sequence started with a low fps train.
Advent Children was 20 years ago. The train wrecked before most zoomers were even born, and everything after that has just been them repurposing the wreckage for mockery.
It also brought in left wing alpha and Gen Z'ers who have zero problems with all the faggot changes.

There's a bunch of shit that was missing from the original game as well - looks like someone did a retranslation mod that adheres to the original release Japanese story and not the localized version.
Suddenly, I'm not as interested as I was before clicking the link.
Newsflash:
Every government shut down, from 1995 on, has been due to Democrat unwillingness to compromise on spending.
EVERY SINGLE ONE.
The difference now is, the media relations arm of the Democrat part, also known as news media, does not have a lock on information dissemination, and people can see, now, what is really going on.
And what did we learn from each and every closure? All it caused was have a paid vacation for most employees and stopped people from going to the national parks. It really can stop running for the rest of Trump’s presidency and no one would honestly see much of a difference (it might freeze needing to pay taxes but that’s a plus.)
While this is largely correct, I think it's wise to temper expectations. Lots of skeleton crews are stilling going into the office throughout the shut down and I'm sure there's plenty of shit that if it fully ground to a halt for a full year would eventually see effects further on down the line. Think along the lines of emergency/disaster preparedness and the logistics around that. Sure we can respond to the next disaster because we've already got a stockpile of resources and a gameplan, but the one after that when no one's been working the warehouse to restock or the office to plan how to coordinate communications and personnel? Maybe that one doesn't go so well. Stuff like that that wouldn't see an immediate effect but would be important when the consequences finally did materialize.
But again, you can pretty freely cut anyone who works on powerpoint slides without worrying.
IRS is mostly open and unaffected by the shutdown.
Can’t just let a man have some hope in these dire times…
There is no hope, only the distant honking of clown cars...
It's not about fear, it's about maniacs like you ordering us to abide by your commands or you'll fuck our kids and shoot us in the throat.
That's the issue I have.
I see the wordy meme still lives. That Stranger Things pic of the girl with the sign originally doesn't have much text on it. In true meme fashion it now has a thesis in a font for ants.
An antithesis of the original idea you might say.
Wow, new FFVII lore. Didn't know any of the Avalanche members were pedophiles.
I thought the debt ceiling was postponed forever. Why are they bothering with the shutdown farce now?
It's that time of year.
For real. I remember when I first really heard about it happening when I was in high school, half my goddamn life ago. It seemed like a big deal then. Now it's basically routine.
The leftists are having their monthly periods?
Wtf is the ryder cup
Golf.
I don't know either. A fries seemed very passionate enough to make that though.
