There are no good guys in this story, but one of the bad guys is a fascist (and this time it’s not the one with the Italian name).

Loving the resolution difference.

I think he makes a compelling argument, but he’s taking a great deal of liberty with his definition of “nihilism”, which is very pointedly not the nihilism that Nietzsche defined, so it gets confusing. Nietzsche would have despised trump and his followers, just as he despised the nazis who appropriated and perverted…

The “trump as abusive boyfriend” thing isn’t exactly new, and there’s plenty of reasons it’s an apt metaphor. The gaslighting also falls under this characterization. The part I hadn’t seen yet is the press as bystander/friends that “don’t want to pick sides”, which just perfectly fleshes the horrible picture out.

This is a perfectly reasonable response in a sea of knee-jerk reactionary nonsense that is this comment section. Sorry, guys, but I really don’t get you right now. We can (and should) ask for campaign-finance reform, transparency, and so on from our candidates without it automatically meaning we’re just trashing…

Holy shit. This is the perfect analogy.

That was my impression as well.

I’m similar, but I have to admire his willingness and foresight to record the entire thing for evidence.

Republican “humor” is all about punching down.

I’ve been saying since before he was elected that our reality has been hacked. I don’t suspect time-travel, though. It’s more like information warfare.

It’s not so much “faith” on my part as simple scientific skepticism. I’ve certainly researched a lot of weird shit in my time. I have some pretty peculiar notions regarding the nature of spacetime and reality that I’ve arrived at from a synthesis of some of the more “fringe” theories. David Bohm is one of my personal…

Thanks. I’m still rather skeptical of time travel for a number of reasons. Even if you could (and I have no reason to believe FTL gets us time travel), the possibility of someone fucking things up massively is a bit high. The idea of probing information from the past is interesting, but you lose information in sending…

What if you pretend to be someone pretending to be a political candidate? Let’s get recursive with this shit.

This is good. Lyrical, even. I have a question, though: what sort of technology are you envisioning that would recreate you after you’re long dead?

Take your damn star, you rotten bastard!

Christmas is the fucking Borg of holidays. Damn them to hell.

HOAs will drive anyone mad.

Okay, now THAT is properly horrific.

What the fuck I need that NOW!
