The leaders of Western society have been corrupt assholes since day one, and the whole miserable project keeps trundling along anyway.

“Ignore the corpses and human misery, look at these made up numbers” is old hat for them at this point

Gorbachev legitimately deserves to be remembered as one of the great villains of the 20th century.

Will check out Collapse.

Zionist cry crocodile tears

I always refer to Norman Finkelstein on this topic.

If I had to pick just a couple, then Twin Peaks and The Prisoner. Both have interesting styles, both keep you asking questions rather than spoonfeeding answers, both were ahead of their time.

Batman: TAS was and is dope. The entire DCAU is the best adaptation of comic books to date. There’s a reason Alan Moore was happy to give his approval to For the Man Who Has Everything.

Shout out to Dwayne McDuffie too. Passed too soon.

Bob Barker ran me over, and when I cried out for help, he backed over me, shouting “Mess with the Barker and you’ll get bit, baby!”

Oh christ, you’ve really been through it with them then. You have my sympathies.

The whole system is pretty much designed to humiliate and punish those in need for seeking the minimum level of support. It’s a hellish bureaucracy overseen and operated by the exact kind of people you’d see working as file clerks in some fascist government.

Multiple doctors have written letters of support saying my condition likely won’t improve.

You’d think that’d be the end of it, but they’ll continue to argue the case sometimes. I haven’t had it that bad in comparison, but prior to my dad finally dying, they continually argued the toss about his deteriorating condition, including questioning if his mobility issues were really that serious/longterm (he’d lost a leg by that point).

I’m an occasionally psychotic (in the medical sense) agoraphobe with serious substance abuse issues. If that’s not too offputting, I’m free to talk pretty much whenever.

I can relate to endless benefits assessments thing btw. They really do make you fight for every damn penny.

Don’t lose hope.

Lol, the first source he cites in these is wikipedia, then perhaps one book. For some of them, the only source is wikipedia.

Not beating the allegations with this one, champ (that’s short for champion)

“Pay no attention to the colonialism behind the curtain!”

The Baron was a lot more fun in Lynch’s Dune as well.

Piccolo gang represent

Also my choice for best character. Watching him develop from enemy, to rival, to friend, to eventually mentoring and becoming a second dad to Gohan was great.

And yeah, it’s a shame that he eventually becomes fairly irrelevant as the story goes on (like most of the non-saiyan fighters)

It’s funny. When I was much younger, I disdained DB and preferred DBZ because it was more “serious” or something. Now I find DB, with it’s focus on adventures over fights and relatively lower stakes, to be far more entertaining. It’s also generally much funnier.

Goku from DB is a great choice btw.

I do wonder how the question was posed. I don’t think many people would openly admit to supporting fascism, but if you broke the question down into certain policy choices I feel like the number would skew higher. But that could just be me.

You can do the same thing with communism. A lot of people like the policies, but shy away when you attach the word “communism” to it thanks to decades of indoctrination.

I want him to keep accruing minor ailments/injuries - broken pinky from wrestling with an attacker, some 1st degree burns from a bomb going off, sprained ankle from dodging a knife wielding assassin, IBS from some expired poison, etc. I want to see Trump give an address while looking like Mr Bump

It does indeed suck, but it beats the alternative. I just started eating a lot of fruit and vegetables to fill myself up.

Should be “going to a music festival outside a concentration camp”

Janet Yelling about some bullshit again, more like.

You are deranged.
