but that was in service to "saving lives" and didn't put anyone in immediate danger
boomers dont want to think it could happen again because in their minds they all fought against it and defeated it. By proposing it could happen again you are insulting their fake legacy.
People believe the boomers about this for some reason.
In regards to the tommy stuff
You need to look at it from the perspective of the British. They are at least from their empire, there has been a fair bit of exchange through history, and for all the nepotism and cheating stuff, there are worse immigrants. No I don’t want them here but if I have to take em, if we need to take 20 bajillion immegrants this year, well at least these ones seem to have a stereotype of hard work/hard study ethic of sorts. More than can be said of other groups at least. It is easy to see how they might be perceived as better. And better doesn’t mean good
Praise of Indians and Asian immigrants is old liberal ‘model minority’ stuff. They are being praised because, in those perceived important areas (hard work, contributing) they are doing the right thing(with tonnes of caveats, yes I know, it’s relative) and integrating. As compared to say, the Muslim immigrants (Tommy’s focus) who by and large and stereotypically are not doing that and who are committing other crimes at higher numbers.
Bear or a tranny?
and if you reject it, everyone dies too bad.
It almost seems like spite yeah.
Because yeah shooting that little shit is the right choice. This thing arrives and tells you that you have to press a button (for a machine you canonically do not understand, you are relying on its explanation), after explaining how it is reaper tech, and its the same kid that appears in your dreams of oily shadows?
Shoot that thing, don't let it say another word, its the only smart answer. It's reaper tech. The head of the reapers it claims. Shoot it.
I still believe the theory though, that we were supposed to have a story revolving more around dark matter affecting the universe as there was set up for that in 2 with the Quarians. This got leaked thanks to journalists so they panicked and made the catalyst the new plot and mcguffin.
Yeah I heard that too, and it was a lot better. And there was some set up for it you are right.
I still maintain the whole game was bad, but with 2 or so great moments. Most people critique the ending for being bad, and they aren't wrong.
But that's not all of it, look at its story in comparison to 1 and 2. ME1 was this great mystery being set up against this horrible eldritch foe, just one of them was barely survivable, not much was known about them, and fighting just one took out 40% of your army. Absolutely amazing stuff with jank gameplay.
2 was a bit of a filler episode, more of a side mission with some reveals about their plans for humanity and filling out the relationships with the crew, as well as extra justification for fighting the reapers. Not as good as ME1, but still enjoyable and with better mechanical gameplay than 1, and filler episodes aren't all just a waste of time, they help you get to know the characters better and in so doing, raise the stakes even further. ME2 might feel like a bit of a waste of time in the scheme of things, but it was pretty good and served that necessary purpose.
But notice what none of them had? No mention of the catalyst.
This was a mcguffin from nowhere that makes no sense because they had written themselves into a corner and not introduced anything in the previous two games. Of all media, the thing that comes closest to the creation and then collection of resources across the galaxy to build the galaxy is palpatine. As in episode 9 palpatine. Suddenly, a way to defeat the reapers appeared. And then that quest visiting all over the galaxy to get it built.
Ok yes, the send offs for mordin, and the tali and legion thing were good moments, but they were good moments that could have been a part of any larger story. The broad story they went with failed from the start, not just the ending. The ending failed because the set up at the start of 3 (and the lack of it in 1&2) failed.
it was from btbw, who does have a bit of a jew focus, but it spans a year of posting, and isn't imp-tier.
That comic was innocent though, dom was still wrong.
Today's though, whew spicy tats XD
he was the emperor, n shit
Yes. When they say there are infinite genders, they are right, because it's their made-up bullshit. Are you really going to argue using Dr Money's degenerate framework? No, you are right, don't use their words. There are no genders, it's made up 60s lefty nonsense. There are 2 sexes.

The Bible is quite clear on that, God comes first. Our God is a jealous God
imagine believing that Chicago elections are fair lol.
They are famous the world over for not being legit.
More info on the Obama thing please
Limp Liberal though he is, this is the time when Lindsey and his passion for detailing and cataloguing this sort of thing comes in handy, as do the comments telling him how and where he is wrong: https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-bodies/ ,like with a lot of things, it seems to have been popularised if not coined by Foucault. The comments have some other potential sources and if I had the time we could dive into the etymology of this one, but 'from shitty lefty pedo pomo french philosophers' is close enough for our purposes and I don't fancy subjecting myself to their evil words to dig at where he might have gotten it from. because I have another hunch:
Ultimately, I think the comments are still wrong and that this particular rhetorical turd comes from what may be one of the deepest and long raging religious and philosophical divides, the Platonic dualists vs the Aristotelian hylomorphic view. All their shit tends to be able to go back to Plato in unexpected ways.
The dualism stuff crops up particularly in the trans stuff. It makes absolutely 0 sense from a more hylomorphic view in which your body and soul are fundamentally one in order to be alive and for you to be you (essentially, it's hard to explain). But in this view it's utter gibberish. But in a dualist view where they are separate, and indeed separable? Being a 'x soul in a y body', assuming some kind of amoral or corrupt or mistaken deity (whether that be a demiurge or uncaring mother nature deity or fate), it makes complete sense.
"the body is the prison of the soul" - plato "the soul is the prison of the body" - Foucault (there is definitely a bit of an inversion and flip and focus more on the body as good rather than the soul with Foucault)
The left has long had some wacky ideas about the two being separate, and also a prison from which they wish to escape. Transgenderism is a result and manifestation of this, and you'll note that 'queer bodies' is essentially the 2nd most popular after black (tied with 'brown bodies'), when you consider the underlying baseline amount due to scientists discussing black body radiation and a few other topics: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=queer+bodies%2Cbrown+bodies%2Cblack+bodies%2C+black+and+brown+bodies%2C+&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3
This is not a co-incidence or random quirk, it is linked to the way they view the world in fundamental ways.
xyz is terrible holding a sign...
Imagine not trusting the praetorian guard lol,
Only initial changes I'd do is get rid of Rule 16, post a link to the modlog on the side bar, and post a sticky reminding people the modlog is there, and to hold me accountable.
Yes, but let's get someone there just to keep out the brigaders for a few weeks first. That's the immediate need, let's put out the fire.
for a long time no need to farm
and then they had what, Llamas? At least as far as I read on the theory, they also didn't have much by way of stuff that is domesticatable, not many candidates. Extra little debuff.
they want everyone except themselves and 500 million or so exterminated*
that's one.
Lol that's just so they get the money too. You gotta meet the first threshold or you get nothing, so you set it low af.
I like when he 'ate what the dog left on the floor.
Let's go full autist: We'll be scrolling forward through each month from the first of the month for all of 2023 to see if we hit lib or trad points. I'm going to throw anti porn and anti prostitution in with the TERF stuff. And we're going hard mode, it has to be a purer comic that doesn't include the TERF or Israel stuff, no combos with other trad topics. Let's see how lib or trad this comic is now, excluding the TERF and Israel stuff.
Jan 2023. 12 days till trad. Some stuff seems anti tranny not just in a 'get them out of women's spaces' way, but 'get these perverts out of schools way'. But also handmaids tale styling, so this can't count just yet. The handmaid arc is a big one, coming to an end on the 12th, when it's then mocking jan 6 being a big event, and the next panel mocking all the supposedly counterculture musicians pushing the vax.
Feb4: 4 days till trad, drawing the link to the demonic in the RGB statue on top of the courthouse, and the next 2 days showing 'vaccine' takers all suddenly and unexpectedly dying, and going to hell
March: 7 days till trad. The month starts with anti trans, but links it to immigration, but it takes till march 7 till we get a anti pc speech and anti illegal alien comic that stands by itself.
April: 6 days till trad. It's anti rainbow in general till april 6th, where it's trump being stitched up for crimes he didn't comic
May: 2 days till trad: Mocking environmentalists and the EPA (as they drop to hell).
June: 7 days till trad. It's pride month, so it takes 7 days for the anti-rainbow corpo thing to wrap up, then it's 7-8 days till we see some demons go round bashing Christians till trying to possess Biden. But turns out he's already full (and here I was thinking there must be plenty of room up there)
July: 15 days till trad, it was mostly or partially anti tranny and protestors (had other themes but included trans) till then.
Aug: 8 days till we get near fed posting, nice.
Sept: 1 day till trad, we start on the gadsden flag sticker kid
Oct: 1-3 days till trad, it's a comic setting up a pro workout and anti fed infiltrator comic.
Nov: 19 days till wew spicy. Day 3 anti isreal and lgbt's combo comic is pretty funny but since the gaza thing happened in oct it seems that Nov is all combo comics. We do have some other themes featuring, like 'current day npc', 'pepe', but its all linked to the isreal thing. But you know what, nov 19 is spicy enough that I'm going to give him a point. He gets one freebie, 19 days till trad. Otherwise it's 24 days till trad with an immigration/biden devils one.
Dec: We came close on dec 9, but there's an isreal link. But with another handmaid arc and the war happening, we didn't get a pure comic for christmas, what a shame, he was doing so well. Deducting a lib point for having the protagonist succeed with witch magic in her fight against evil. Which also happened briefly in an earlier month now that I think on it, so we might deduct another one.
Summary: Look yeah, it is still a good 80% anti LGBT (trans in particular) stuff, that's definitely the focus, and then isreal after October, but this past couple of years, it's definitely come round to some actual conservative things, and the anti trans stuff is being tied to other things that are also getting their own mentions like, the vaxx, environmentalism, illegal immigration, policing and road protests, and free speech (twitter and speech was a big arc in the 2nd half of last year).
He did alright most months actually, and some were spicier than I remember. 10 to 11/12 for trad, 1 to 2/12 for witchcraft. The verdict is that yeah, he's come around.
proverbs 22:9 Alas for the wise man that goes to law with a fool! Between bluster and mockery, there is no end to it.
ayyyy gottem. Burn.
I like this, and we could do the reverse, bring back the previously condemned.
Give us the imp.
It might be better and have a lower kill count, but you're wrong on many points.
It is still fundamentally a form of socialism and it comes right up the the line on private ownership. It's still your factory, in theory, but here's a party member to dictate how 90% of it gets run, and who you can employ. It's partially yours, on paper. Better? Sure, but not by that much.
No, it sought to eliminate class hierarchies (it is, after all, a socialism) and it wasn't exactly trad in regards to sex and the workplace (sex is more complex, because they also highly promoted and paid for motherhood due to their other concerns). It's not all hierarchies, sure, but it is not as free of proto DEI stuff as you might think.
A significant part of the nazi belief was a socialist and sort of Malthusian understanding of the world's economics. They needed lebensraum. Not for any particular resource, or just space for hypothetical larger future generations, but because their economic theories said the world and economy was doomed and they needed more if the German people were to not starve.
It was all for the benefit of one nation yes, but it needed the space of all others.
