Just because you can’t imagine getting off your ass and building a better world doesn’t mean that everyone else shares your love for learned incompetence and your defense of fascists.

I see you didn't even manage to get that lever pulled last election because genocide isn't very popular regardless of your cheerleading. Pulling the lever would've never stopped the genocide, but derailing the train would have. You didn't want genocide to end, you just wanted to go back to brunch.

You know, at least back when Lincoln was president, voters at least had a spine to do something about issues they were ethically against. They were willing to completely abandon the Whig party to back the new republican party (which killed the Whig party). This isn't a fundamental change to the system, but even still it is farther than you'd be willing to go to prevent genocide. Perhaps what leftists need is for people like you to be less chickenshit genocidal white supremacist sellouts who hem and haw about the correct way to do genocide to prevent as much blowback to yourselves as possible as you live in the luxury that has been paid in the blood of the global south.

Or maybe ask me which state my "lever" was in and realize how futile your argument is for the majority of states and the majority of the population. Even if we had universal popular vote to determine president, as you seem to assume, that doesn't remove the fact that the two choices were both supporters of genocide and the train deserves to be derailed and the track destroyed.

there is no option for a magical third choice.

There's no lever you can pull as a third choice because the lever only operates inside the bounds of the "system" of the rail network. It's working as designed. So break the rails if it is an inevitability that people get tied to the tracks.

The system is just as immutable as the divine right of kings. Choosing to campaign on lever pulls within the system instead of focusing on systemic restructuring tells me a couple of things: 1) You aren't tied to both sides of the track. 2) You're fine with giving validity to a system that bakes genocide into itself because your comfort relies on someone being tied to the both tracks, and at the moment, that isn't you.

Refusing to pull the lever doesn't prevent you from working outside the bounds of the rail network. It might be worth considering that instead of the belief in slowly changing the democrats with slow constant pressure, the system is changing you to be more accepting of the unacceptable.

Go report the Wikipedia page for Kilroy Was Here for not being complex enough to be culturally significant (despite its actual cultural significance), I guess.

Oh my god look at all the allies hitler had. /s Even the US wanted to help them out with operation paperclip. Maybe the fact that the Soviets killed 75% of Nazis was just a bit of nazi infighting in your eyes.

[edit] lol whoops by the time I found the image and posted, cowbee had already made a much better comment with the same image

Hey maybe stop calling people speaking a language other than their native language illiterate if you’re trying to not seem racist.

(Not that what they said is off topic at all- it just seemed like you needed an excuse not to engage with the points they brought up directly, so you default to smug chauvinism as a smokescreen.)

This is so flagrant it feels like bait.

Hasn’t GM OnStar vehicles had this tech since 2009?

I've already learned Resolve and Motion, so I'm just waiting for my current project to be completely picture locked and out the door, then I'm done with Adobe for good! I almost have a countdown timer going I'm so excited haha

"Either hundreds of millions of people have always predisposed to the lure of the fascist, in which case the entire democratic endeavor is doomed anyway, or something of corporate liberalism has brought us here. Whatever the quality of its rhetoric, any politics that buckles at the prospect of even mildly inconveniencing the rich, or resisting an ally's genocidal intentions, will always face an uphill battle against a politics that actively embraces malice. "Yes We Can" is a conditional. "Yes We Will" is not."

One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, Chapter 3

Back in the day, Avid (the company that makes professional software like media composer and pro tools) sold a NAS system called ISIS (Infinitely Scalable Intelligent Storage). The studio I worked at had a different system, but the head of post production still called it “the ISIS” because he got used to calling the network storage that.

And now for the final question of our game which always pertains to real life skills. Buzz in if you can find the incorrect part of this statement: "Developing an accurate view of the world is difficult if you don't have a method to verify information. One surefire way to know what's going on thousands of miles away is to trust anonymous sources and NGOs at their word when they tell you through western mass media and without any proof that our adversaries are doing evil things."
