Getting caught up on the Archon Quests in Genshin and “The Scarlet King allowed the dark forbidden knowledge to infect his people but thankfully the Dendro Archon in her mercy sealed away the forbidden knowledge to save her people from its dangers.”
Me: Oh yeah, Mihoyo is a Chinese company. I hate this.

130th day of one-person relay protest in front of the Israeli Embassy! Thank you to Progressive 3.0 for your hard work today. On the other side, a press conference and propaganda campaign was held denouncing Israel's full deployment of ground forces in Rafah. The one-person protest will continue until Israel stops genociding Gaza residents.

Dream Show 3.0
For dream show challenge by @singledarkshade My cast list was Pierce Brosnan (Percy Jackson), Lana Parilla (OUAT), John Harlan Kim (Librarians), Simone Ashley (Bridgerton), Colin Morgan (Merlin), Pearl Mackie (DW), Kyliegh Curran (Secrets of Sulphur Springs)
Title: Real Royals of the Realm
Synopsis: This mockumentary fantasy comedy shows stars the Royals of the Realm. In the Realm, the best known stories are how the King was tricked into marrying an Evil Sorceress but then fell in love with her and how the youngest daughter was stolen by a dragon ten years ago. Ever since, the king and queen have held an annual joust to try and find a brave knight to save their daughter. But it's been years, and no progress has been made. Some say the king is incompetent, the queen is power-hungry, and the remaining princesses are strange. For this year's annual joust, one director has full access to the castle and the royals, getting their honest opinions, understanding the inner workings of the royal politics, seeing their day to day lives, in an attempt to bring the people closer to their royalty. Or perhaps the people will choose to overthrow them in favour of democracy. This documentary will decide.
Main Cast:
Tumblr media
Pierce Brosnan as King Nicholas Alexander Arthur: King of the Realm, when he was younger he was bewitched and tricked into marrying an all powerful sorceress. But by the time they got married he truly loved her (much to her surprise) and they had three wonderful daughters. When their youngest was stolen by a dragon, the king created the joust. To find the brave soul who would go after his daughter...but it has been years and he's rather forgotten his kingly duties.
Tumblr media
Lana Parilla as Queen Isadora: A former evil sorceress who wanted power but then after bewitching the king, she also fell in love and was convinced to stop destroying commoners. She's now Queen of the Realm and...bored. Her husband the king is old so much of the royal duties fall on her. When she wanted to be an all ruling being, she hadn't realized how many small qualms she'd have to deal with. She rolls her eyes a lot when people come to the king for help and she's the one dealing with the problems.
Tumblr media
Simone Ashley as Princess Amara: The eldest royal daughter, she takes on after her father rather than her mother. She would prefer to be in the joust rather than watching it from the sidelines because it's "what princesses do". She was old enough to remember her sister being taken and wants to find her because these tournaments go nowhere. This year, with the help of her sister Jade, Amara has decided to enter the joust under a fake name. Amara will prove to her parents that she's ready to lead the knights to battle.
Tumblr media
Pearl Mackie as Princess Jade: The second daughter of the royal family. Jade takes on after her mother and has magical power, namely communicating with the dead. It's a handy little gift and she has many ghostly friends rather than living. She enjoys learning more about magic, growing her powers, even if it does make her look odd to the people when she suddenly starts talking to ghosts at breakfast.
Tumblr media
John Harlan Kim as Eli Jenkins: The ghost butler that keeps the castle running. Personally, he's really quite pleased with the Queen and Princess Jade. Before there was magic, he just roamed the castle halls watching the staff be incompetent. Now thanks to Jade's powers, people can see him again and despite his young looks, he can be in charge of the castle staff. He also knows all the gossip.
Tumblr media
Colin Morgan as Gabriel Moore: The director of the documentary. Originally, this was meant to be his PhD thesis assignment and then somehow turned into propaganda for the royal family. Though, he must admit they are quite fun and dearly miss the youngest princess. He'll often document himself and share his findings with his friend, Harper
Tumblr media
Kyliegh Curran as Harper/Princess Ava: The missing princess, and as it turns out, she is the dragon itself. Apparently, her mother's powers manifested in her as shapeshifting. Ava didn't mean to run away, but she turned into a dragon and panicked and then everyone wanted to hunt her down. Ever since, she's been living as a commoner as Harper, adopted by a nice lady who lived at the Realm's edge. While Ava does remember and somewhat miss her royal family, she also believes in democracy and often is leading the revolutionary protests and scoffing at the annual jousts.
Fun Facts:
The King has multiple names because his mother felt it would make him seem more important
The Queen makes harmless comments that she should turn the commoners into frogs or rats, apparently they don't like her jokes
Eli looks young but with his ghostly years is closer to 100 years old and really does act like an old man
Really at this time it's unclear to the writers whether this is modern magic or medieval magic which just happens to have cameras. The latter seems more fun
Probably one musical episode due to Jade's magical spell mishap
Amara is cool and collected where as Jade is much more creative. Ava would have balanced the two out
The show gets cancelled after a short season, ending is ambiguous on whether there's a revolution or the royals stay in charge. However, Ava is reunited with her family

im sorry for the non-voltron related question, but im curious !! who are your favorites from genshin impact & honkai star rail???
Genshin faves:
Kazuha was a mainstay on my team for like a solid two years but then Sumeru came out and I became a dendro main 💔 last year’s summer island event had me in my feelings so deeply, you have no idea
I think Alhaitham is one of the funniest characters ever. I love characters who would piss me off if they were real. Probably my best built character even though I use Harbinger of Dawn on him
Kaveh. I’m sorry I’m not immune to babygirl Kaveh propaganda 💔 they’re doing crazy things to this guy’s ****** on Twitter. I don’t actually use Kaveh though because I’m terrible at bloom comp
Honestly I love all of the Sumeru characters so so so much the 3.0-3.2 story was just so damn good. I am obsessed with the Tighnari&Collei&Cyno found family dynamic. I honestly don’t care about Fontaine LMAO I want to stay in Sumeru
Right now my main team is Zhongli (shield) Alhaitham (main DPS) Nahida (sub-Dendro) Raiden Shogun (E bot).
Star Rail faves:
SR is still pretty new so my favorite characters are basically the ones that I like using the most.
Jing Yuan is my best built character. The amount of time I spent on relic farming ohmygod. I also have his signature weapon 😎 one day I would like to e1 him. Story wise I think he’s a really funny character and I also love his English voice actor so much
I think Asta is such a funny character and she has managed to surprise me a couple of times in some of the space station star quest. Also she is just so damn useful as a support character and I need to build her more
I’m obsessed with the Blade & Dan Heng dynamic. I haven’t started the latest story quest yet so no spoilers plsss. I pulled Blade on the first day of his banner but I have 0 resources for him so he hits like a wet napkin rn but that’s okay baby take your time. I’m now saving up to hopefully get Dan Heng IL 🤞🏼🤞🏼
So far I’ve had pretty good luck on my pulls ❤️❤️ I got I think Gepard? i forgor exactly when I tried pulling for Seele but I was able to get JY pretty early on and I won the 50/50 for LC and Blade 💯💯 god I hope I get IL. no I have no idea what team to put him in
Obviously my team changes around a lot depending on the enemy weakness but generally I run Clara/Gepard, Jing Yuan as main DPS, Luocha as healer, Asta as support
Looking at these lists… guys I promise I’m a lesbian

Welcome to Cybertron's Worst Bosses 3.0!
This poll covers post-Dark Cybertron exrid up to the beginning of Combiner Wars! Optimus Prime & co have returned to Earth in search of Alpha Trion, etc. etc., you know the drill
Propaganda under the cut!
Optimus Prime: This arc is the beginning of massive turnover within the Autobots, but we can't judge Optimus for what's going to happen. Despite him being very present in this arc, it's mostly him reacting to whatever Prowl is doing rather than taking initiative himself. He leaves for a while (honestly valid. who wouldn't want a break.) and leaves Prowl in charge (what were you thinking, man).
Galvatron: A Racist. Hates combiners, dislikes beastformers, et. al. Kills Daniel Witwicky and immediately lies about it, which I personally find really funny.
Starscream: Starscream only appears twice in this arc, once to insult Prowl and once to be gay with Wheeljack, but he's always scheming.
Marissa Faireborn: Her chemistry with Thundercracker is unfortunately overshadowed by the fact that she's in charge of the organization that's using the corpses of his former friends/fellow soldiers to create an army.
Soundwave: The only actual leading Soundwave does is hooking up with A Racist (see: Galvatron), which imo makes him a pretty strong contender for a terrible boss.
Prowl: Outside of that one chat with Optimus, he's struggling to have a meaningful conversation with anyone who isn't a constructicon. Like Starscream, he's ALSO always scheming, but his schemes have moved from the long game to the short term. While I think a mutiny arc was planned (and cancelled) for exrid, unfortunately we can't judge Prowl for things that only happened in my head.

Amid Robert Rundo’s Extradition, the White Supremacist Active Clubs Network Remains a Threat
Robert Rundo, co-founder of the white supremacist Rise Above Movement, is back in the United States, extradited to California from Romania to once again face federal rioting charges. Rundo, who left the United States for southeastern Europe after his criminal case was briefly dismissed in 2019, remained an active participant in the transnational white supremacist movement during his time abroad. Rundo’s time in Europe was characterized by his emergence as a prominent white supremacist leader, driven by his development of “white nationalism 3.0.” 
This decentralized model has resulted in the creation of localized white supremacist Active Clubs, which promote fraternity and a so-called white “warrior spirit,” while also engaging in physical training for what members perceive to be an impending race war. Rundo also established a propaganda arm, Media2Rise, and an online merchandising entity, Will2Rise, to create a white supremacist brand that could expand Active Club messaging and deepen connections between Active Clubs and other white supremacist groups like Patriot Front.
As Rundo returns to the United States to face federal charges five years after his initial arrest, the Active Club network, now the latest iteration of his white supremacist movement, represents an enduring threat and legacy that will persist long after the founder’s potential incarceration.
The Rise of the Rise Above Movement
Rundo co-founded the Rise Above Movement (RAM) in 2017, alongside fellow white supremacist Ben Daley. RAM quickly established itself in the Southern California white supremacist scene, growing from a small crew of right-wing gym enthusiasts to roughly 50 active members. Rundo’s strategic messaging in the early years of RAM played a key role in the group’s initial success, establishing the organization’s brand as the “premier MMA club of the Alt-Right.” As part of this branding, RAM focused on mixed martial arts (MMA), race-based physical fitness, and transforming keyboard warriors into real-world street fighters. Rundo and Daley’s framing allowed the organization to expand its influence beyond the borders of the United States and network with a growing white nationalist fight scene in Europe.
From its inception, RAM sought to act as the “violent vanguard” of the white supremacist movement, taking the mantle from the prominent skinhead gangs of the 1980’s and 1990’s. RAM members functioned as street fighters who wanted to commit acts of violence against those they regarded as their adversaries. They positioned themselves as white patriotic crusaders who were fighting against the perceived threat posed by “communists” or antifa and advocated on behalf of a perceived victimized white population in the United States. 
In 2017, RAM members were part of a series of violent clashes at rallies in Berkeley and Huntington Beach, California. On April 15 of that year, a fight broke out between white supremacists and anti-fascist activists at a rally near UC Berkeley, which resulted in 20 arrests and at least 11 injuries. Rundo was arrested during the event on suspicion of battery of a police officer. Though these charges were later dropped, he celebrated the violence of the day — which became known by white supremacists as the “The Battle of Berkeley” — remarking that the event signaled an “awakening in the White American consciousness.” In August 2017, RAM members also traveled to Charlottesville, Virginia to take part in the deadly “Unite the Right” rally. Three RAM members would later be charged and sentenced for provoking and engaging in fights as part of their conspiracy to riot.
On October 24, 2018, Rundo was taken into custody after he and three fellow RAM members were charged with planning and intentionally engaging in violent attacks and assaults against counter-protesters at various political events in Huntington Beach, San Bernardino, Berkeley, and more. In 2019, the case was temporarily dismissed because the judge ruled parts of the 1968 Federal Riot Act unconstitutional. An appellate court subsequently overturned that ruling.
The de facto Leader of a Decentralized International White Supremacist Network
Rundo fled to Europe soon after his criminal case was temporarily dismissed. While living outside the United States, he reportedly lived a transient lifestyle in eastern Europe. During this period, Rundo sought to maintain relevance within the U.S. white supremacist scene, as well as secure means to finance further extremist activities.
Starting in late 2020, Rundo began to shift his focus towards creating a decentralized international white brotherhood, called “Active Clubs.” Rundo explained this shift in a December 2020 essay, calling it “White Nationalism 3.0.” Rundo imagined a movement of small white supremacist cells that would focus on local-level engagement, making it harder for researchers and law enforcement to identify and shut down their operations.
White Nationalism 3.0 was a departure from many of the traditional white supremacist groups of the past. The model also distanced Rundo from the movement, making it difficult to tie him to any one crew’s illicit activity but allowing him to serve as a de facto leader from afar. The Active Club network reflects a larger trend driving the current white supremacist landscape: replacing hierarchical organizations with decentralized and localized cells. Local regional crews will carry out the group’s core goals while simultaneously pursuing their own local objectives. This “do-it-yourself” white supremacist activity has grown in prominence in recent years, largely in response to federal law enforcement actions targeting hierarchical white supremacist movements like Atomwaffen Division and The Base.
Active Clubs are largely the ideological successor of RAM. They promote a white supremacist worldview that is inspired by the prominent “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, advocate for raising “white racial consciousness,” and train so-called white “warriors” for an ongoing war against a system that they claim is deliberately plotting against their race. These Active Clubs are deeply rooted in physical fitness and influenced by Rundo’s time in the European MMA-ultranationalist scene. According to Rundo, the Active Club network was meant to “fill the gap” among American white supremacist groups. This decentralized network of European-styled MMA athletic clubs represented a clear organizational shift. RAM was limited to Southern California, but the decentralized Active Club network has now established new nodes across the United States and even abroad. 
In addition to launching the Active Club model, Rundo wanted to build a white supremacist brand empire that would allow him to raise money for his activities abroad, while also bringing the white supremacist community together under stylized optics. Rundo launched Media2Rise in the summer of 2020, a media production arm that serves as a white supremacist news platform. Media2Rise crafts stylized documentaries covering white nationalist events and leadership, such as those by the white supremacist Patriot Front or the National Justice Party. In 2021, Rundo founded Will2Rise, a far-right merchandise company selling everything from clothing, stickers, and even soap sporting white supremacist slogans. The clothing line has since become a staple among white supremacists, regularly being worn by members of groups like Patriot Front, the National Justice Party, and, of course, Active Clubs.
Looking Ahead
Acutely aware of the threat of criminal trial, Rundo set out to create a community resilient enough to withstand any potential arrests of key leadership, including himself. As of August 2023, ADL data shows that Active Clubs claim to maintain an active presence in at least 33 states, including Arizona, California, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. In addition, Active Clubs continue to emerge abroad, in countries like Lithuania, France, Estonia, the Netherlands, and Croatia. While the true extent of Active Club membership is opaque, it is unlikely that any resulting prison time for Rundo, or further arrests of key leadership, will significantly stymie this growing decentralized network.
Rundo’s arrest and extradition have become a rallying cry within the international white supremacist landscape, who view the legal process against him as an injustice. “Free Rundo” stencils, stickers, banners, and graffiti have been distributed across the United States and Europe, framing Rundo as a political prisoner facing “federal hoax charges.” Immediately following Rundo’s arrest, individuals associated with Will2Rise and Media2Rise released a public statement: “We can assure you that although one of our movement’s most dedicated activists has been detained, our struggle still continues.” Will2Rise is now crowdfunding for Rundo’s legal fees and brand empire. “Free Rundo” demonstrations have been held in Russia, Sweden, Canada, and more, illustrating the degree to which his influence has expanded.
Regardless of the outcome of Rundo’s trial, new Active Clubs continue to form in both the United States and abroad, while the Will2Rise and Media2Rise franchises remain active nodes for the white supremacist ecosystem. The Active Club network in the United States continues to be one of the most active elements of the white supremacist landscape, regularly organizing fight nights, distributing propaganda, and hosting demonstrations. Perhaps most concerningly, Active Clubs are increasingly targeting LGBTQ+ events in their offline activities. Recent incidents in Montana, Wyoming, Washington, and Oregon have seen local Active Club members protesting drag queen story hours and Pride festivals. As anti-LGBTQ+ narratives and conspiracies continue to serve as potent drivers for extremist mobilization and violence across the United States, the addition of Active Club members seeking to return to the violent origins of RAM only further increases the risk of extremist-related violence within the United States.

ww3 but it’s just the tumblr mutuals fighting for roc to come to their country. in unrelated propaganda
Tumblr media
and all my love to ireland but hear me out. hear me out
MONTREAL: already has history as a popular f1 racing location and so it wouldn't be unfamiliar
QUEBEC: vested interest in keeping itself separate from the rest of canada so there's appeal in hosting roc as a #NotLikeOtherRacingHosts girl
CIRCUITS: we have so options available and all roc would need 2 do is choose.. circuit mecaglisse? mont-tremblant? gilles-villeneueve? you name it baby we will have snow on the ground and treacherous driving conditions tailored for ur electric cars
MONTREAL, 2.0: i am in montreal and hosting here would mean i can go. probably
QUEBEC, 2.0: the timezone would benefit both north americans AND people living across the pond because all of us can watch and it's not like one group needs to wake up at 3 in the morning. or pull all-nighters as i have two years in a row
MONTREAL, 3.0: we speak english also and we're friendlier to tourists than like toronto
QUEBEC, 3.0: poutine. literally i don't know what other reason anybody needs

from what i can tell from your condensed sumeru post it's been pretty complicated, is it? i've gone through the experience myself and aside enduring very long (but lore-rich) quests it's quite so-so if you glance away real-world matters 💀 what do you think?
i think sumeru is trying to introduce a whole lot all at once, both in terms of story and gameplay, and a recurring thing im hearing from people i play with is that it feels exceptionally long.
in terms of gameplay and story quest chores, i'd actually put it on par with liyue's. you're ultimately doing normal rpg stuff! talk to a bunch of dudes, meet new dudes, fetch an item to go do a thing while you get info-dumps on how the world works.
but, i also think sumeru is an extension of some of the concepts we saw introduced in inazuma only its been turned up even further.
gets long so, gonna put a cut:
in inazuma, if you explore all the islands and pay attention to found notes and books, you learn that inazuma was actually multiple cultures that were then (forcefully) put under the dominion of the electro archon. for its archon quests, you are witnessing an active civil war between watatsumi and narukami that is the culmination of centuries of built up ill-will and resentment towards the shogunate. the revolutionaries are sympathetic and you support their cause but ultimately the goal is to end the war before more people die.
inazuma used to have many other gods, but like everywhere else in teyvat, the archon war led to a huge upheaval of so many people as their gods were slain. the game acknowledges that there are people who really do not want to seek the guidance or protection of a god who slew their own!
we also saw a bit of this in liyue, with havria, the goddess of salt. descendants of her followers are still grieving her and blame the geo archon for her death and believe he has even tried to cover up how she died. it is known that rex lapis, morax, was a powerful war god and killed many others, tho in this one instance he was not involved in havria's death.
now, hopping into sumeru spoilers, so far in 3.0 they are establishing that sumeru also once had many many more gods, and that the desert gods in particular were known to both be man and beast (accurate for the egyptian gods! that was kinda their whole deal, and it's not a new concept in genshin where inazuma had many animal deities and liyue has the illuminated beasts).
but, like elsewhere in teyvat, these gods died out and were replaced by the dendro archon. there is already reason there for there to be a divide in the people, we have already seen a nation where some just do not want to accept the dominion of an archon.
only sumeru goes a step further! the akademiya has also established itself as a controlling power, more-so after the death of the previous dendro archon during the cataclysm. and they have -forbidden- the discussion of many topics outside of the academy! if you are not a scholar, you are not allowed to speak the name of some of the old deceased gods of sumeru.
akademiya scholars, styled after the romans, are only interested in retaining knowledge they deem "useful", and a driving force of the plot is them spreading propaganda that dreams are useless and tightly controlling the flow of information in sumeru. they do not believe traditional dance, art, or storytelling is "useful" and are clearly antagonists for it. they also tightly regulate what sort of technology is allowed to be used by common citizens. setting up a power grid so civilians can use electricity is forbidden, but it's allowed for private researchers if applied for. the development of machinery and robotics is heavily restricted, to be destroyed if people outside of the academy are dabbling. etc.
now that we have that set up, it makes complete sense that the eremites, the many clans and nomadic people of the desert, Do Not Like This. people are diverse and like many other groups we see in genshin these people have internal disagreements of their own. we are introduced to eremites who eek out a living by co-existing with the new order of sumeru, being sellswords or continuing their crafts and keeping to themselves. there are bands like the bandits we've fought everywhere else in the game, and their motivations are similar, "making a living the new "normal" way sucked so now im just gonna steal". but like it's a wide spread and genshin has portrayed thieves as misguided and even sympathetic at times.
but, there is also a group who so strongly oppose the academy and the dendro archon that they are willing to go to pretty violent means. and they are likely being enabled by organizations that will profit from the chaos, something we also saw in inazuma with the fatui actually selling weapons to the resistance.
and the thing is too that the eremites are ultimately also presented as sympathetic! they are being told their way of living isn't allowed and the very names of their gods is only acceptable in a controlled environment that treats them as statistics and curiosities!
so while i am still upset by playable character representation and what kind of slip ups the writers will have with the second half of sumeru's story, ultimately the overall trend is "people are diverse and that should be embraced"
and that's just all the stuff the main archon quest has brought up! there's still a whole ton of other world developments going on with the aranara and the hidden robot quests that im still digging thru.
so, yeah, sumeru has a lot! i think it is pulling from the entire SWANA region AND also tying in other influences like greece and rome, which makes it very dense. there are so many references to so many things. it's a lot to unpack.

I started talking on discord about the rebuild of evangelion movies with some people so you are getting the same text wall as before just said in a slightly different way. I sadly can’t guarantee this is more coherent than the previous walls of text:
i just finished watching the evangelion rebuild movies and now im chewing on furniture like a dog. evangelion rebuild really be like: maybe touching grass would fix you. maybe if you touched grass you wouldn’t be like this. still going feral here. i started watching 3.0+1.0 at like 10 pm and didnt finish it until 3am
yes i really enjoyed the movies. i was rather confused how much world building the 2 continuities shared because they seem to share some parts but not others. overall an excellent experience. most of the changes i am in favor of. By different worldbuilding i meant how adam(s), angels, the seeds of life/wisdom all mean different things and have different relationship depending on the continuity. or how the whole second impact was different, in the anime it was contact with the one and only adam sealed in their egg in antarctica where as in rebuild there were 4 adams. and in the anime both angels and evas are made from adam (except 01) where as in rebuild there isn't that a direct connection angels are just prophesied. so what units 01 and 13 are doing is becoming adams/gods where as gods in the anime was probably referring to the first ancestral race. there's also stuff like how kaworu is only an angel in rebuild where as in the anime he's adam's soul shoved into a lilin body and the anime makes it clear that angel is an arbitrary label that nerv is using as propaganda to designate an enemy. there also doesn't seem to need to be the pilot's mother's soul fused to the eva, more just any soul in rebuild. there's various other small things but it meant i'd interpret a scene one way based on knowledge of the anime and then 5 minutes later have to rewatch it because woops i need to see it under a new perspective. confusing to constantly be analyzing what's shared and what's different worldbuilding wise. but its inline with rebuild's themes of this is all fictional and the story (and worldbuilding) belong to the audience so i do applaud the movies for pulling this off. The simpler remade worldbuilding makes rebuild accessible to new people and it makes the movies able to stand on their own with out 15 books of supplementary material.
rebuild went very post modernism with emphasis on how the interpretation by the audience forms the reality of the fiction, the acknowledgement of the characters that they are fictional. so it leans into the meta and takes the audience out of suspension of disbelief purposefully to remind us this is fiction. and this shift is reflected in moving the focus away from worldbuilding. on a conceptual level i don't think either concept is inferior. personally im a sucker for worldbuilding so that part of the 1995 anime appeals to me. however from an execution stand point rebuild did a far better job, not only with this theme but all of its other themes too. the 1995 anime was successful in delivering its themes too but wow was there so much other stuff in between to get through. Not to mention the actual production meltdown that gave us the infamous powerpoint slide show presentation. In the anime halfway through they just gave up on making events comprehensible and it was big shinji depression times for the rest of the show
the 1995 anime was really weird about women and it always felt really slimy having the female characters be defined by their relationships to the male characters, the strange obsession with pregnancy and a woman's reproductive capabilities and i am so happy rebuild toned that all down. while motherhood continues as a recurring theme its focus is shifted to human connection and family and like caring for one another instead of all the weird bullshit and impregnation metaphors like when gendo implants the adam fetus on his hand and sticking it in rei3 to fuse into one being and start instrumentality.
the shinji gendo fight very much was about the fictionality of the movie. the animation of the evas always made them bouncy and massive like they have a lot of mass but in this scene thye used live action capture so it looked like actors in costumes on set with a miniature town and then shinji crashes into the backdrop/greenscreen and oh they actually are on a set. big YES to the final "fight" of the big mecha action series being two emotionally stunted dudes having a heart to heart and talking it out (Even if i do not care about whatever comes out of gendo's mouth).
rebuild is more direct in its themes than the anime. in the anime shinji only really starts understanding right in the final scenes of end of evangelion that connecting and building relationships is extremely hard but worth it. the omedetou scene doesn't count because no one understood it. where as rebuild it happens in the middle of 3.0+1.0 so shinji has the rest of the movie to talk about how even though you can never truly know another person, its only as an individuals that we can get to know and compliment each other and that process is worth it. Everyone carries their own pain, its not just you. you are not alone. and the solution to pain and loneliness is reaching out to others about their pain and loneliness.
yeh... yeah idk what to make of the timeloops kaworu's been going through. there's so much massive unexplored potential. this and the time between the near third impact and the actual third impact we are teased and hinted at so much but shown like 5 lines. i remember like a decade ago (before i got into eva) when people were losing their shit over that one line in 3.0 where kaworu implies he's been on a journey through the multiverse to find a timeline and make shinji happy. and i mean anno more or less gave his creative blessing to derivative works with 3.0+1,0. but yeah interesting that it is shinji and the characters and evas as concepts that bind the timelines and multiverse together, it's not a shared history with diverging timeslines. I could say that evas are everyone's secret dead twin from the mirror universe that have crossed over and make asuka a talking dog and anno says that just as true an evangelion story a what was actually published. and the implication with the timeloops that by writing shinji’s name next to his in the book of life, kaworu made them and the other major character the constants in the multiverse, not the adams or the angels or any of the worldbuilding or the backstories of the characters. It's just them, the people holding the timelines together.
anyways i really liked rebuilt. I watched the 1995 anime a few years ago just because i was curious to see what all the hype was about and it was ok but i enjoyed thinking about it and reading wiki articles more than i actually enjoyed watching the series. but i actually really enjoyed watching the movies, it was fun, it was engaging, they're good movies. They’re Good Movies!
rebuild also adds environmentalist themes. in ... 2.0? when they visit the marine animal refuge laboratory the question of humanity's role is destroying, preserving, and rehabilitating natural systems comes up. stewardship of natural systems. In that marine species only survive in tanks now. this shows up is a couple more places but the biggest is when asuka, shinji, and rei visit village 3. theres also a discussion of purity and disease in relation to species of earth especially with seele's plans that impure life should be wiped out and replaced with pure lifeforms. the aquarium also acts as a character study for rei and asuka since they are both clones carefully monitored by nerv, their whole lives controlled just like the aquarium animals. rei literally can not live outside of her tank for long, and for asuka its about a place to belong and exist in or having no where else to go. also parallele to what happens to humanity later, in that they can only exist is non-corified areas that are maintained by a barrier.
asuka: the changes to her i find very interesting. they took away her parental issues of abandonment (mommy AND daddy issues wow) which drive her in the original anime to the point of breakdown and catatonia. Instead rebuild gave her existential angst cloning blues and hey wow she actually ended up with better mental health (most of the cast made it out better in rebuild actually now that i think about it). in the 1995 anime asuka is a direct opposite contrast to rei. moon/sun, color schemes, personalities, backstories. but here they gave rei and asuka the same backstory! and im still turning it over in my head (rotisserie style). also asuka shikinami was made for a purpose but made it her own in the end and found her reason to keep piloting. in the anime asuka is haunted by the abandonment by her parents. she tries and fails to weaponize her sexuality in an attempt to be wanted you see her try with kaji and again with shinji, she wants a boyfriend or at least the male attention without really understanding what it means to be in a relationship. and its implied this is partially out of her daddy issues. im not sure what to think about the asuka shinji relationship in rebuilt yet. hmmm i will need to think on this more.

Finding Real News/Detecting Fake News
Oskar Almazan's insight:
Wikipedia defines fake news as: “Fake news is a type of hoax or deliberate spread of misinformation in social media or traditional news media with the intent to mislead in order to gain financially or politically.” “Fake news websites ... deliberately publish hoaxes, propaganda, and disinformation — using social media to drive web traffic and amplify their effect.” Fake news takes all forms - print, online, podcasts, YouTube videos, radio shows, images - any format that can convey information can convey disinformation.

Earthquakes - Tectonic Weaponry?
Tumblr media
😲WATCHING: Earthquakes on the Rise - Taiwan hit on April 3rd and the Northeastern part of the US.
Even up here in Bethel, ME I felt the effects of the NJ Earthquake today. Very small and brief; but not something that we normally see up here. It was nothing compared to the ones that I have known in CA.
I started to make a post on this a couple of days ago, and now I know why I didn't; since this one just happened. I was searching through the codes once again looking for the connections. 2 days ago, I was just finding numerous references in the yearly and monthly codes connected to the past resurfacing again. So, it wasn't fully connecting in; even though, I had seen some connections in the Taiwan one making some connections to the past; but hadn't got the "aha" coming through, so I just let it go. It was apparently the strongest earthquake in 25 years in Taiwan being only about .2 under the one 25 years ago.
Now today we have an Earthquake that hits NJ with effects coming all the way up here into Maine. Interesting notes on this is that the epicenter was less than 7 miles from Trump's International Golf Course. Also, the FAA issued ground stops at Newark Liberty Airpot in NJ and the John F. Kennedy International. Airport at NYC. RawsAlerts reported this being the 3rd largest earthquake in the state (not sure if they meant NJ or NY) while Fox was reporting the largest earthquake in NJ since 1884.
Now we know that certainly earthquakes happen naturally; but most "natural" ones are less than 3.0 and have a variety of causes often times connected to Wastewater Injection. Yes, larger ones happen too; but we want to keep in mind that they were not that frequent until 2009.
Stay with me on this.
I kept feeling like there was some sort of "weaponry" that might be getting used in these cases with them so close together. So, of course, I started searching for military and other "projects" and weaponry being experimented with only to come across Tectonic Weaponry. While the propaganda supporters like Wikipedia want to say it is "fictional" or "hypothetical"; in reality it is not. Tesla was actually exploring this technology in 1898. Communist Rulers of the former Soviet Union were experimenting with this technology as early as 1960, then again in the 1980's and 1990's. HAARP also has this capability. Are we to really believe that these "projects" were fully abandoned and never followed through on with all of the technology? Given that we already have many technological and energy-based weaponry used for decades; this is not really such a far-out concept.
Let's now also consider that the 2010 Earthquake in Haiti was also one that many people questioned.
Hmmm - I guess those aspects of the past really are connecting.
Let's consider a little timeline here
1973 almost no Earthquakes over 3.0 magnitude 1987 program launched by the Communist Rulers of the former Soviet Union 1990 testing for the Mercury Project on creating earthquakes supposedly began and was to be completed by 1992 1973-2008 the USGS says that there were only 24 earthquakes per year that were greater than 3.0 (of course this is the U.S.) 2009-2014 the USGS says it started taking a sharp rise to an average of 688 per year that were greater than 3.0 (their grid only took me this far and of course they want us to believe that for the most part this is just totally natural) 2010 - the Haiti quake - well we all know the great corruption around Haiti, if you don't you have your research cut out for you.
The point here is that since the development of technology over the decades that has the ability to create Earthquakes we have seen a sharp increase in devastating Earthquakes and the Tectonic Weaponry and HAARP both have the capability of creating Tsunamis; so interesting how the bigger quakes and tsunamis go hand and hand.
So, onto the code piece - from The Code Journey 2024 Edition - monthly info what to focus our actions on - which was written approx. 1 year ago.
"This month shows that we are likely to get some hard lessons. Power battles get nastier than normal as inferiority/superiority rises." Those in control are likely to misuse their power if they are wanting to control others. They become more abusive and seek out ways to victimize people."
"Competition energy is strong; especially where there are strong insecurities....They encourage us to take command over our own life; and support us in being self-sufficient, so that we can be free of the abuses from those that are not working in integrity."
What this is showing us, is that most leaders in power have an inferiority/superiority issue. When we combine this insight with all of the connections active to the past, we find that past technology is brought to the surface and used/misused to control others and to victimize people. Competition energy is always nasty, and in the global arena or among world leaders often costs the lives of others or creates great misfortune for the average people. If there are leaders that are trying to hold onto to having command over their own country they could send "warnings" using HAARP or Tectonic type of weaponry as a means for trying to free themselves from the abuses of those leaders working corruptly. A tangled mess for certain; and only time will tell who is on which side of the fence. I do feel that this technology has been getting tested more again. Let's not forget the Soviet Military Program that mapped the world during the Cold War. If you combine those maps which "mysteriously" ended up in Washington DC - or copies of them; with Tectonic Weaponry, then you can direct an Earthquake or Tsunami to hit almost anywhere that you want and would know even military bases and things that are kept secret on normal maps.
So, let's just consider what has gone down in the last 1 1/2 weeks as it connects in America:
March 27th the Francis Scott Key Bridge was destroyed - he wrote the Star Spangled Banner
April 4th - Statue of Liberty struck by lightening
April 5th- Newark LIBERTY Airport and John F. Kennedy Airports get shut down for an Earthquake - remember that JFK was very instrumental in freedom and liberty and was assassinated, his son JFK Jr. Assassinated, Robert F Kennedy was assassinated and now RFK Jr. is the independent candidate for President
April 5th - Epicenter of the 4.8 Earthquake is less than 7 miles from Trumps International Golf Course in Bedminster NJ - Donald J Trump being the Republican candidate.
Do you believe in coincidences - or is someone trying to send a message that our freedom, liberty, and those standing up for it are under attack? Do you really believe that mother nature just suddenly and naturally started having a lot more larger quakes at the same time that Tectonic Weaponry came into play?
Perhaps there is nothing to this; but my gut says there is a lot more to it.

Serious Number: How Many Kinzhal Missiles Have Already Been Intercepted by Patriot? - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/serious-number-how-many-kinzhal-missiles-have-already-been-intercepted-by-patriot-technology-org/
Serious Number: How Many Kinzhal Missiles Have Already Been Intercepted by Patriot? - Technology Org
In the spring of 2023, Ukraine received a powerful reinforcement for anti-aircraft fights – Western partners handed over the world-leading Patriot air defense systems. Now we clearly know that this system can even shoot down Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and most other ballistic rockets, as its capabilities and high efficiency have been demonstrated in real-world combat situations many times.

The representative of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ihnat, recently explained the successful use of the Patriot air defense system in Ukraine. By November 27, thanks to this advanced American missile platform, Ukrainian soldiers managed to shoot down 15 hypersonic missiles of the infamous “Kinzhal” type.
This number is important, because the reserves of these missiles in the Russian army are far from endless.
In addition, Ihnat noted that with the help of Patriot, dozens of other ballistic missiles were shot down in Ukraine. He emphasized that this defensive weapon received as military aid from the U.S. has already proven its worth.
“We already have 15 downed Kinzhals. In addition, dozens of ballistic missiles flying towards Kyiv were shot down,” Ihnat spoke.

The Kinzhal missile was shot down for the first time on May 4, 2023 – when the Russians tried to attack Kyiv with it. On May 16, the Russians launched 6 Kinzhals nearly simultaneously, but none of the missiles hit the target.
Russian propaganda promoted Kinzhal as a missile that has “no analogs in the world” and is “impossible to shoot down”. Russian propagandists also called the Patriot an “obsolete” system.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, in 2023 as of November, Russia still has about 80 Kinzhal missiles in its stockpiles. The Russians can only produce 1-2 missiles of this type per month.

Okay, so we live in a culture with relatively high expectations of people in social interactions, but, wokeness ended up becoming the prevailing social order in it.
We are being groomed
6/7
That is a *lot* of things I have to block here - this is all sponsored content
Update
Is this the first time they've changed the tab "sponsored content" to "radar"?
They're trying to hide the fact.
[It's permanently changed now.] [This is literal gaslighting.]
Update
For all the proxies the issue of climate change is utilized for, climate change is a good thing.
6/8
I've cut off updating from the news for the past day or so. I have a feeling.
Also, over the course of more than the past three weeks, there was a song put out called Video Games! - I only saw that three weeks after the fact, but it was about being past playing games much anymore, and now there's a headline, "Bill Gates says it's okay to start calling him a gamer now", as of yesterday. This appears in the search when I go up to play Minesweeper.
The rule of thumb is they play both sides, but I really got the impression it's the establishment encouraging - and you have to get more specific - games as an obsession.
Update
I just realized there's something very insidious about that renaming of the tab from "sponsored content", which it is, to "radar." It sounds nuts to people who are newcoming, but there is a system in place, noticeably as of summer 2021 when my gangstalking ramped up to something historically unprecedented, that will prepare advertisements based on my underlying feelings. That's why these tabs I've been calling out now being named "radar" implies this as their intentional function.
For the most part, not much has happened with this.
But it's the fact that I thought myself, I keep the pulse on the establishment by seeing how they use these things to react to me. If the establishment finds something more fitting for LGBTQ pride, then don't do it. That's serving as the justification to have it named this way - that personalization trumps any - in theory - hiding of the fact that it's all sponsored content.
At some point an anon said the jewish power structure is essentially built around the assumption that a paid lawyer in some foreign country will vouch on their behalf that people like the Rothschilds do have rightful ownership of the West by effect of financing.
So having something like "radar" for propaganda which can be augmented - that sounds like they're trying to normalize this power structure.
Update
The Minecraft launcher icon just got changed to a Creeper head
6/9
I've spent some amount of time over the years searching for an experience that makes the original Doom feel like a Roguelike game but in real time. The base file for Complex Doom really did this, I think, but it's unbalanced.
I actually looked up the question, and there are some games that were recommended, but not that many: Borderlands, Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Update
I tried the different basic presets for Project Brutality, and Man and a Half difficulty with Alternative dynamic spawning worked fairly well
Update after dinner
At the alternate Wal-mart, the rum they had, including a lot of the whiskey and other things too, was only about 35% alcohol by volume. Because it was the only one with a significantly higher amount, I got two Captain Morgans because they were relatively cheap.
Tonight, I have gotten the latest version of GZDoom so I can play the latest build of Project Brutality.
This substance is just diluted enough, I might be able to down it raw. I probably won't, though.
GZDoom is having an issue where it starts up every time at 320x200
[BUG] Video mode pixel scaling width and height no longer save to settings file · Issue #1896 · ZDoom/gzdoom · GitHub
Ignoring that for now
We will be reviewing Project Brutality 3.0 with the dynamic spawn preset Chaotic Random.
Update
I got the flamethrower where there was originally the chainsaw, and every other frame was missing. Then when I use it, the game crashes and I have to restart my computer.
It will probably be 500 years before I get my next computer capable of running Doom Eternal.
Okay, so the thought was that if a mod for Doom managed to be balanced in being as clenching as Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, that would actually balance out the experience of Doom to the point that it would rationalize having, for the sake of example, the entire shareware episode done up as a single hub, constituting the entire moon crater on the intermission map, maybe even including the secret Xbox map for whatever reason. That way exploring would be more like actual downtime from the action sequences and not just boredom.
Update
Don't let the first-time chaingun animation play out, don't use the alt-fire on the rocket launcher, and don't use the flamethrower at all.
Update
Using LZDoom proves that in theory an older version of GZDoom will make the current version of Project Brutality run just fine.
Update
It looks like 4.8.2 is the latest stable version of GZDoom, at least in this regard, being able to play Project Brutality
If there's some reality in Welcome Home, it might be a good place for Common Filth's take that we should pick up the pieces in regards to the Sexual Revolution. Talking about that era it's in. I know, I saw the original poster's stances, but regardless
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
What even is my target audience
Do I want to accept death
Moments when you felt like futurism was attainable by humanistic means - thought I'd post that over the noise of "TFW" memes
Update
If it ever comes down to the issue of all this being me being a narcissist, as I come up with these things, the mentality is more like don't let them stamp the flames out, on things that could be - but there's also that saying about how leaders who have the most utopian standpoint are just grifting as opposed to those down-to-earth
I wish I could find a way to encode my statement, as if the past encodings in hexadecimal stopped anybody
Unfortunately, I can't
Well,
as a matter of fact, since the time I forwarded this documentary, it was taken down off of YouTube, but it's still up on the Internet archive:
Questioning The Holocaust Why We Believed Part 1 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
No, I'll honestly gauge my commitment to *tumblr* based on their willingness in *this* regard. Done.
Update
Ironically, I wish I had a better philosophical understanding of things, because the idea of the recreation of my own dreams similarly to the other idea could be rationalized by a deep-reaching-enough understanding of how the world and its history works under the hood. But I don't.
I honestly wish I could find a way to keep myself in my own ends occupied. I feel like everyone else has their work cut out for them. That's not a privilege - I have *ever* had. It's tragic
Oh, yes. That the Holocaust numbers could have been greatly exaggerated was something I heard from my very own history teacher back in high school. St. Louis, among other things, is very racist historically.
Update
So back near the end of high school, I forward this very same video as from the Internet archive onto Google+ when that was new, and after that I experience my very-first-ever in-family gangstalking, and I think, what gives? Something's strange
Update
Do you think it's ridiculous that I think in agreement with Common Filth we should pick up the pieces since the Sexual Revolution when I have hentai
Update
Now I can't tell what's causing the game to crash.
6/10 night
The way this mod eventually visually glitches out is just like an NES.
6/10
There is an option in the set video mode menu about the notebook switchable GPU - setting that to high performance might prevent some of the crashes
Update
I just turned down the upscaling to Scale2x with none (trilinear) filtering
With the issue of LGBTQ, there's more than one factor, but in short I can just say, I've heard a bit about how in past societies, men could give each other a casual kiss, and that wasn't repressed. In situations like that, you wouldn't have these desires to be taken out in these kinky ways.
And it's been said kids in schools these days have more psychiatric issues than inpatients in the past. You can say that's just because we diagnose more these days, but there is so much more repression. The last thing you need is a predator encouraging their vices through sexuality.
I don't know why it got me thinking like that, but even in subtle things, Minecraft gets it right: if you feed farm animals that are adults, which gets them in a mood to breed shortly after, it shows hearts, but for kids, it just shows a green sparkle.
It really shouldn't come down to a frothing "keep that shit away from the kids", because their teachers are already in schools bypassing that - it's that it's just not natural
Update I know there's something in that, like why did we tell women that feminism would be empowering? But that rages on
Update
If that is every school, then this is definitely an "everybody out of the pool" moment for education
Update
I don't know. Some tracks in Warioland II are deeper than what a Gameboy game has any right to be
Update
Well, I have nothing to say
6/11 night
I don't like that the parts of sleep where you're actually not restless, you never get to experience. I never get that, in life.
If I have to come up with something to say, there was that creepy no-face-texture Mario 64 Mario with the sound cue that shall not be named. Have him go "what's up with that? Y'all cowards don't even smonk crek"
no
Give Right Wing Watch something to talk about
I've given up on life.
I've saved the rest of the two bottles of rum for Sunday proper
Hopefully that will kill me, etc. - if that doesn't do it, use this bat
Update
My God doesn't love me. I'm unloved by God
6/11
Well
Since "I Eat Ass" might as well be the national anthem of the entire white world right now, I thought of making versions of songs like this so distorted it's borderline unrecognizable
I EAT ASS (FULL SONG) 11 Semitones by RandomClam24 (soundcloud.com)
There was some video footage of a feral black man saying to the cops, "*erase* me"
Update
I am now at Doom II with the review of Project Brutality on Chaotic Random, at the difficulty Man and a Half.
With regards to drinking, I'll have you know when it comes down to the act of anything, I'm overly conservative. But thank you for worrying about me.
Update
Part of the plan was to get to know the experience of being really and truly drunk so that I could relate to the experience, which never happened, but that experience that one time recently of nearly falling asleep just to have a vision of the near-to-immediate future told in a kaleidoscope of moving bug legs, like that's the decision-making process behind the gangstalking preventing me from doing things - that was a kind of consciousness where even after waking up, it felt like if I were looking at a window, it would be appearing as the background behind it.
I got a full Captain Morgan left. Yeah, that sounds like a not terrible idea
Update
How am I supposed to know the point of getting passed-out drunk without passing out
Anyway, yeah, I don't condone - I think
Seriously, I started thinking recently, when I'm just sober, what am I, chop liver?
I asked both my sister and my mom if they heard of who John Carmack is, and they definitely didn't. That's the celebrity that could be achieved by being a computer programmer, and they've never heard of it.
One thing I wanted, in conception of my personal dream project, was this idea of decided forms of rendering at different tiers, based on graphics in the past, that would make for what I thought of as a magic touch. That's what I wanted for a personal studio setup. But isn't that disproportionately high-expectation
With the way I limited the actual sketchwork to sharp, thin pencil strokes, I think that really was the mentality.
I've been spending time recently on 7th-gen gaming PC graphics, with this new notebook. It's from 2022, priced at $500, so it can handle them.
For starters, how does even PS3, the console most emulated artistically, age compared to the PC ports of its own games?
Update
Honestly, for all that, by now aren't there already games that could just be recommended instead? I liked the Wind Waker.
If I were to be serious about that, there are some vibes in the project that I was reminded of with the open-area segments of Quake 4 with the vehicles, but that was too preoccupied with having to aim at spammy things.
What I really wish, in order to be able to sketch these ideas out, is that I could express myself in ways that aren't immediately taken as a commital.
It's like, there are people whose OCD prevents them from committing to doing anything. That lack of commitment is a problem here.
Maybe the reason I don't commit is because I realize in their current form, my ideas aren't enough to entertain anybody.
Maybe some of them could work as indie horror
Oh hey, I don't think indie horror ever coincides with open-world genre, otherwise
"5 hour bitch I need energy
Don't fuck with John, fuck with Kennedy"
There, does that get your working spirits up?
Update
What I didn't like is that each engine that there is has a distinctive look to it, meaning you'll be working within its confines; there's nothing that feels universal about it. I had gone over it before and thought the Bioshock series originally using Unreal 3, or the Unreal Development Kit, which is still out there for download, had a somewhat universal look
Because there's a song that felt this way back in art class in late high school that our art teacher played, I just remembered the lyrics, and the song is Counting Crows - Round Here - "She says she's tired of life - she must be tired of something"
Update
I don't want to be pretentious, but maybe realistically this is one of those projects that eats up colossally too much resources
I think that's why it just checks out: if there isn't that feel of "simple yet effective", something like this is going to eat up a *lot* of effort
Update
What I said before - my life as an atomized individual is not even that important.
But some things I have experienced that are too big for this one life alone.
I just had to come out with that because I've never said that before.
I mean I've been implying it for a while.
Update
There *have* been - people who have started up crowdfunding for projects and then just ran off with it. I feel the need to prove that there is a payoff for even the most basic investment, so that no excess time is wasted.
Also, I'm not going to do a crowdfunding.
Honestly, if the goal is to come out with things, maybe I'm just too much of an emotional roller coaster.
Even if I did a "buy me a coffee", which would make some more sense if I did such a project - and there would never be subscriber paywalls - I'm more seriously concerned there would be means taken out to screw me over financially because I gave out my debit card information to a website.
For those who don't know, there was that story with PayPal introducing $2500? fines for every speech they deemed offensive to its reputation, which damaged its finances with tons of people cancelling their accounts. My gangstalking has been so severe, with the exact timing of it, I was thinking that was specifically because I set up an account.
Whether it's this or me getting a job, this is life.
Update
That sounds very vain. At the very least, there would have to be preliminary releases beforehand.
One thing about the original Doom is that the original three episodes are relatively easy compared to any other content for the engine. Then, even Doom II seems easy compared to episode four.
Partly, I just want to know a mod is balanced
Update
When Denzel Curry - "The Game" released, apparently there was enough consensus there that some people made their profile name "Hambone Movement" - I don't know what happened, what went wrong
I thought I was within reason.
Update
I remembered that when trying to appreciate the Warioland II OST a bit more extensively.
I asked my mom a bit recently, do you know the word jigaboo, and she said something like it's not something you would want to ask a black man. Is that the impression I created
Update
One thing that I should probably note before that's gone: if trannies supposedly have the most profound experiences in order to justify the most heinous sexual encounters known to man historically, why does that conclude with them being the most important aspect of their atomized lives, as opposed to them seeing something bigger than themselves? Calling bullshit
It was only in a foreign study, which is not legal in whitopia - whitopia - that it was demonstrated they're systemically narcissists
Update
There was a point in time early on when my racism from my mom disproportionately defending a black kid who was a total cunt to me was applied to Wario as the inverse of Mario
Update
Advertising black businesses on mobile devices specifically as black-owned businesses was bad for black businesses - and that's for all your social justice - and I'm not even trying to defend that
It's not repairing race relations.
Are there people who think we just need to go harder on social justice because of that? ("Obviously hasn't done enough")
I don't have a solution
But did you notice how things were better off in the past few decades
And then of course personally - I can't make a claim like I'm going to solve things peacefully when I said before if you back down on Total Tranny Death (TTD), someone might mistake you for a liberal - if you cave even a little, the mainstream tries to make you into what they want you to be.
Oh my goodness, is this grounds for getting taken down: yes, there's the *artificial inflation* of the fact that minorities, of all kinds, are getting hired disproportionately. How's that on the outside world?
And who is thinking in these terms?
Update
Based on my heritage, would I be deemed a supremacist or not? I come specifically from a lineage of middle-to-upper-class white people that sailed away whenever a catastrophic battle event broke out, and the overall bloodline sums up to half British, half German. I don't even identify with the people I live around so much as my family.
Update
Whenever - every time I open a new internet tab, with these news articles - "niggas steady barking but you know they mics for the cheese" - things we all know, needing no violent emphasis, by which it could be dismissed as just crazy
Some things we should just know
For people who are completely uninitiated, how non-mainstream do you have to go to get news that isn't fabricrated on some level, to where if it's right, it's like how a broken clock is always right twice a day?
First, don't go on the Bing homepage.
Fox news is also controlled opposition.
I'm not going to shill for any of these alternative news sites, but there are plenty of them out there.
Maybe a risky statement: don't you think the paradigm that people based their trust in news on as "reliable news sources" is very vain in that it favors those who have the most funding?
Now try this on for size: we benefit Tikkun Olam by resisting the current state of Tikkum Olam
I don't see the point in feeling emotional over this when it's already been established, but then, I think there's some truth, mysteriously, in the way vaxxers acted during that time: "I'm not immunized unless *you're* vaccinated!"
