Yeah, I didn’t say don’t prosecute him, I said I was a little worried it might galvanize his base. It also might go the other way; it makes him look weak, and authoritarian strongmen can never look weak, plus it really dispels the myth of his vast wealth. But either way, pointing out this may be beneficial to Trump’s campaign doesn’t mean I said the civil/criminal trials against him should be dropped.
I’m not sure, “bring back debtors prisons,” is the takeaway here.
I’m a little worried this is going to galvanize his base, but it is still deeply satisfying to watch his life collapse around him, especially knowing that the criminal trials haven’t even started yet.
I think it’s about how conservatives and liberals read Animal Farm and think it’s a condemnation of communism, without bothering to understand what communism is or learn anything about Orwell’s political beliefs. They don’t read Marx, but they think they understand Marx because they’ve read an allegory for Leninism and Stalinism.
No, he’s pretty unpopular there, most polls say that Benny Gantz would beat him easily in an election. That doesn’t mean that they object to his approach to Gaza, or that Gantz would be any better for the Palestinian people.
Obligatory Undertale mention. I know it’s the cliché answer, and it’s fan base is…a lot, but it really is a great game.
Also, very happy to see FLT FTL get a couple of mentions here. Hardly any of my IRL friends have even heard of it, but it’s probably the best Star Trek game ever made (even if it’s not actually a Star Trek game).
In hindsight, it’s kinda crazy how Moviefone came out of nowhere to become completely ubiquitous within a few years, and was then made completely obsolete by the internet just a few years later.
“Hello, and welcome to Moviefone!”
Look man, 90% of this community is liberals and leftists picking fights with each other. If I can at least get them to start using the right words when the do it, I’ll call it a win.
That seems a little reductive. I’ve never moderated anything, but I bet if I spent years building up a community I would also find it hard to just walk away.
