You're absolutely right in all points. That's why we all generally choose path B.
Just, perhaps, keep in the back of your mind that option A will need to come sometime soon, or else it'll never come at all.
Inside you are two stories.
The first is the legend of the hero. The hero wants to do good, to defeat evil, to be morally and ethically righteous and upstanding, and to do so because it is right, not because someone or something forced or expected you to do so.
The second is the cautionary tale of the good man who did nothing. Who raised all the reasonable objections, evaluated all the reasons not to, and walked away.
Our modern society is the logical end result of the majority picking storyline B over storyline A. We, all of us, are in some small way complicit for what our leaders have done to us.
I'm not saying that to hamfistedly try to shame people or anything; like I said, "we" not "you", I also hold a corner or the blame here. I've also generally chosen the B route.
I'm merely saying we aren't getting anywhere until a bunch of us choose A all around the same time.
I can't tell if you're a bot or merely so unaware and so lacking in self-reflection as to be utterly indistinguishable from one.
Sir, if you can't muster a real response, don't open your damned mouth.
Well, yes, fiction can stain the surface, and even pool in the empty skull crevices of those of small and smooth brains.
But you miss the point. The point is that these surface level manipulations do not, and as they are cannot, overwrite deep seated biological desires and imperatives.
Its why even the staunchest girl-boss strong independent woman feminist ends up with a dozen cats, or why the most accomplished monk takes apprentices. You can't media your way out of your instincts.
Due to my rampant xenophobia autism, I've spent the last decade buying "made in America" and locally made stuff whenever possible.
If you give up on cheap chinese pig iron and plastic, you can get almost everything you need without paying a dime in tariffs, and if you pay more to buy durable, high quality stuff, you'll only ever buy it once.
For example, I've bought furniture from the Amish and had it drop shipped across the country, simply because I know I'll still be sitting on that chair and eating at that table in fifty years.
Mate, Europe has more shit on the street then America does. They're absolutely infested with goat fuckers and jeets, more so then we are.
Dude, people seeing satan and triple sixes everywhere for two and a half decades is how we got four to six generations of children specifically radicalized against christians and christianity, to the point where they'll invite fucking mudslimes in with open arms to spite you.
You need to take your meds and calm down with that. It doesn't earn you any support from anyone who doesn't already agree with you (or at least suffer from the same paranoid obsession).
Betrayal is betrayal. You don't need the magic talking snake guy to make people do evil, repugnant shit.
Hard disagree.
What you're arguing is a horseshoe theory-proving variant of "violent videogames are too realistic and will implant violent urges in people".
This is a video game. It's fiction. People, even low IQ people who can't reliably identify that just because they read something in a book or saw it on TV or heard it in a sermon doesn't mean it has any bearing on reality, will still subconsciously understand that this is fake. That this is an artifical depiction of part of the human experience.
This no more "siphons" the desire for fatherhood than does seeing a great father figure in a movie, or reading about one in a book. And there isn't any weight to the "but video games are interactive media" argument here, either. You push buttons on a controller, and the funny man in the screen carries out pre-programmed actions. There is no touch, no smell, no weight or physicality, and frankly not even the full depth of sight or hearing to this play act. You'd get more watching an actual stage play.
Perhaps, perhaps if we had some sort of sensory hijack full-immersion VR technology, you'd be right. "Ideal space isekai slow life with your ultimate elf waifu and robot child-figure VR" would fool the brain and artificially satiate the urge. But we're so far from that that it's not even worth discussing yet.
Because you can't communicate like a white man, so he's stooping to your level.
I'm not ready to call her a whore because she's dating a single jew, and I'm not quite willing to casually make the leap that she's being whored out by her boyfriend and, as you put it, sucking lots of cock and taking it in all holes from random men, just because he has a jew daycare job title.
I know how hollywood works, believe me. I simply think this specific level of reflexive negativity forms bad neural pathways in your brain, habituates you to seeing evil everywhere, and constantly floods your body with stress hormones.
So I think it's better to disconnect and reset a bit, is all.
I'm perfectly aware, unfortunately.
I simply think that having this be the knee-jerk reaction suggests too much time spent marinating in the darkness of the net and the slime of following politics, and that it would be best to disconnect for a bit.
I also assume she's done SOMETHING to get to the top, though I wouldn't call her "average". We all do shit we don't like to get by.
But immediately jumping to "she's just a jew cum dumpster" is a few steps too far, even for me. Maybe I'm more comfortable lying to myself, but I like to at least pretend the world has some goodness and decency.
There's being blackpilled, there's injecting refined blackpill solution subcutaneously, there's carving open your chest cavity to pour in industrial grade liquid blackpill distillate...
And then there's this.
Brother, I think you're due for some grass touching. No good comes from a life slathered in that shade of vantablack.
Its a lot harder to get people on board with swinging the axe than it is getting people on board with telling someone to leave and never come back.
Since, you know, most people lack the courage of their convictions and the stones to weild the headsman's axe.
Its not an option to choose an MC, but rather a party member you pick up later in the game who you can choose to actively control. You can also pick up an Orc-looking guy who's a survivor of your tribe that gets obliterated by bad guys in the first five minutes if the game.
The main character remains the protagonist, Kliff, who's a Evil White Male of a vaguely highlands Scottish/Pict persuasion.
I don't think this is "much needed". In fact, I'd argue that this is firmly in the realm of "random bullshit".
We complain about they/thems in games. We complain about worlds that don't react to the player. We complain about shitty worldbuilding where NPCs react to the player in a shitty blank slate, regardless of whether the player has a male or female PC.
Crimson Desert sidesteps all that bullshit by giving you a well defined player character with a backstory, beliefs, future plans, and goals.
Why the fuck, other than for gooner brained "hurr durr if I'm going to look at a charcter for 100 hours I'll want to stare at ass and tits" bullshit would you willingly go back to the blank slate bullshit? Why BECOME the they/them character, if it's not forced upon you?
Yes, I know this is a single player game, and fuck it, do whatever you want in those because it's your game, your fun, but calling it "much needed" is nonsense, and it's nonsense I'd place on the level of those "much needed" shirtless Leon mods for the last resident evil game.
Sorry, it's the sort of stupid thing that makes sense in your head when you're two thirds asleep after work.
I was thinking, kind of how you can tell hindus to fuck off by putting beef on or in things, and how you can tell muslims to fuck off by putting pork on or in things, you can tell jews to fuck off by tossing shellfish into or onto things (since shellfish is always unholy), and somehow my brain leapt from "throw bacon at muslims" to "throw clams at jews" to "but wait, clams are hard, you can accelerate that projectile...", and, uh, here we are.
Dude, and I'm saying this as someone antisemitic enough to put clams in a slingshot, this is one of the most retarded reaches I've heard all month. This is just the right-of-center version of "Darth Vader says trans rights!" ultra cringe headcanon interpretation of characters.
Its a YA cartoon story. Its not secretly le heckin basederino secret depictions of the JQ.
Sometimes the demon vampire thing is just a demon vampire thing.
Glory be to GOD
So, has he actually just gone mask off as an apocalypse worshipping evangelical nutjob, or has he become convinced that the average American would support a religious war in the sandbox?
Because this is a fucking unhinged thing to say in a tweet about foreign war escalation otherwise.
Humans have never been equal; for individuality to exist, differences must exist, and those differences create advantages or disadvantages depending on context. Equality could only exist in a world with no meaningful variation at all.
Once you accept that the atomic unit of society is the tribe,
Brother, while I agree with a lot of what you've said, I must point out that these two statements are mutually exclusive, and you undermine, rather than support, the latter with the former.
The smallest unit of society MUST be the individual, specifically BECAUSE people are unequal. Tribes are formed when enough people, who are all unequal, willingly set aside enough of their differences to form a tribe. If there exists one or more contentious concepts on which only some individuals are willing to agree upon while others are not, multiple tribes are formed, and begin to compete.
The tribe is the smallest molecule of society, certainly, but not the atomic unit.
If you, hypothetically, had three men alone on an island, and each of the three had wildly competing ideas, they would end up in an arrangement that, from the outside, looked like the worlds smallest diorama of tribal conflict. You'd see disagreements, alliances, betrayals, trade, and everything else.
And nuke the last man standing for good measure.
I forced myself through everything up to Blood Omen 2 within the last two weeks so I could show the missus the plot.
The sound of Raziel moving blocks (thunk, think, griiiiinnnddd, patter patter, griiiiiiinnnddd, patter patter...) Is burned into my consciousness like a brand. Even Kain screaming Vae Victis over and over whenever you did a three hit combo in Blood Omen 1 wasn't that bad.
I can't wait to get back up go Defiance. That's the only game that doesn't make you want to stop playing because of the...questionable gameplay decisions. Like Soul Reaver 2 giving the enemies more combat options than the playerzl, forcing you to essentially go "hehe, wraith blade goes brrr" for every encounter.
Are you incapable of holding two distinct thoughts in your head simultaneously?
Israel is an enemy of the west, absolutely. But so is Islam, and anyone who follows it.
Amusingly, we have a good number of people on this board that have brains as smooth as the average leftist, with the few grooves worn into the gray matter being simply...more palatable, shall we say, to the general consensus mind of this board.
All that is to say, it surprises me not at all that you and the other guy had to explain that, no, not everything is a heckin media referencerino.
At the risk of fedposting, the only proper response here is to hang the assailant. This isn't "alleged", we have video.
For good measure, hang the accomplice yelling "do it" and the mother as well. They're 85, 90% as guilty, and it seems the only thing pavement apes will understand is collective corporeal punishment.
We need to take our society back. We can't keep living in the goddamned jungle like this.
