So everything now hinges on centrists and “moderate” conservatives not supporting fascists?

Terrific! It’s not like that has ever happened before

Maybe not quite yet, but if Trump does win then Project 2025 will certainly mean that they’ll be authoritarian before you can say “well fuck”

That’s certainly a way to read this I suppose

I actually don’t know much about him except that he’s now the Führleader of the SD and supposedly a “moderate.”

The problem I have with conservatives claiming to be moderates is that even the ones who believe murdering minorities and leftists is a legitimate political platform think that they’re “moderates”. Must be something to do with conservatives being spineless fucks.

Could be, the time does look approximately right since it’s from 26.6.

Frankly it’s hilarious how people especially on the more, er… fringe side of the leftist spectrum seem to think that the CIA is behind everything. Feels like for some people spilling their coffee means that it happened because the CIA made the floor slippery. Also every time a country like eg. Ukraine decides they’d very much like to not have a brutal Russian-controlled puppet government, or there’s anything even resembling a coup in South America, it’s somehow the CIA’s doing.

And no, I’m not saying the CIA hasn’t ever done anything nefarious or won’t do so in the future; they’ve definitely done a lot of nasty shit in their time, but they also tended to overstate their own importance and success a lot.

I saw a gAmEr complaining about all the woke things in Starfield, and he listed things like “unattractive females” and “accents”.

So yeah, if feeeeeeemale in my vidya no make pp hard = WOKE POLITICS. Also if foreign people in my vidya = WOKE IDEOLOGICAL PANDERING

You didn’t “show evidence” you utter fucking cabbage – you just went conclusion shopping on Google to find the first fucking piece of unsourced “trust me bro” garbage that you thought would support your opinion.

And it’s not like I’m Jewish or a leftist; surely the brownshirt leopards won’t eat my face

According to conservatives “politics” is apparently only something the nasty evil Others™ do, just like everything everybody else does that they don’t like is “ideology”.

Because studio executives – just like the executive of most other companies out there – have realized that they don’t need to actually innovate or risk putting money into uncertain new projects, when they can just take something that’s already been done, try to pretty it up a little, and then sell it to people who’ll go see it based on name recognition.

Why take a risk with new IP, when the old IP that sort of worked is already there? Just give it a new coat of paint and sell more of it instead, fire some workers (I’m sorry, “rightsize” the company), buy another yacht. Problem solved.

Approximately for the same reasons as Jews, leftists, and other “undesirables” would have been freaking out in the late 1910s, early 1920s.

Mom, they’re taking NCD shit seriously again! Tell them to stop!

Every time somebody says something like “I could have done that” (especially if they’re being dismissive of somebody’s achievement), it brings me great pleasure to say “but you didn’t.”

I’m in my 40’s and trans, and ever since I was a child I knew I didn’t fit my assigned gender and it just felt… wrong. Took me a long time to understand this was me being trans and not me being “broken” somehow, thanks to a conservative upbringing, but basically I’ve known all my life.

What, you don’t have a poop roller?
