You can say that now. But nobody (to a significant degree) probably thought like that until 2016.

In every single fucking one of these games or movies, there's always the reasonable voice of good, and it's almost always some kind of reporter figure. There's a reporter in Fallout 4, there's a reporter in V for Vendetta, there's always a goddamn reporter. And this reporter is always the same archetype - scrappy, possibly disillusioned, who wants to speak TRUTH TO POWER! and we need to SHOW THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH!

And then there was the reporter in Babylon 5 who "risked everything to get onto B5 and get the real story from their own mouths" and "subtly get the truth to the people in ways that won't get them shut down."

... and proceeded to go full pro-authoritarian propaganda.

Wow, that's actually something I didn't realize at all, having never watched B5 until now, but I definitely hear it. Just finished the fourth (and some would say final?) season.

Respond to said doctors in kind. That'll start changing minds fast.

Not only that, didn't doctors LOSE their licenses for making the prescriptions?

At the rate things are going, they are going to "suspend the election for public safety concerns."

Sure, it'll be shit, of that there's no doubt.

Still better than what's being produced now by the "mainstream."

Because the Kendom is portrayed as evil, when it's the only thing close to a reasonable society in that entire shitpile?

If they don't learn to shut their fucking mouths and give the people what they actually want, then yes.

Nothing will ever be done about it until THE FUCKING TAXPAYERS cut the government funding at gunpoint. As an overall spending ultimatum, not just an abortion motion.

It all ends once the people decide they're not paying rogue governments anymore. Abortionists will actually start to take care of their bodies properly, once they start getting billed the REAL cost of abortion.

In what fucking universe is "killing the farmer" the act of an oppressed man?

Blackrock

As far as I'm aware, has already pulled out of most of their "venture capital" expenditures, because it clearly wasn't working. I could be wrong though.

Pretty sure "pan" is the word for bread in more languages than "bread" is the word for bread, so I figured that might be where it got its name.

KOTOR is the single player game. The MMO is just TOR. And KOTOR 2 was long before Disney. Long before Mass Effect (oh wait, 2 was Obsidian rather than Bioware, wasn't it. Another sign of just a rushed sequel)

Oh, wait, so that wasn't the statue in question? Goddamn, I'm an idiot.

Not just "a religious statue," THE Jesus statue. I dare you to name a more iconic Jesus statue.

EDIT: I thought this was the Brazilian statue for some reason.

It won't have Talon Karrde, the Noghri, the Solo Twins' birth, Mara Jade, Jorus C'Boath, ysalimiri, etc etc.

Hell, I'm trying to look into other things, Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn's top man other than his Noghri bodyguard) no longer exists either, does he.

You mean RotS? She wasn't even attached to Anakin until the time in between the two.
