It’s sort of a lose-lose game, though. Submit to humiliation and you implicitly endorse it. Retaliate in any way and they get to justify their escalation to violence.

The Genital Inspector is both the tip of the spear for these fascist sex pests and the cannon fodder for a front-line fight. Influencer culture rewards them for becoming a spectacle of martyrdom when outraged people push back. And the far-right legal branches sweep in behind them to crucify civilians who resist.

If you look at the Israel-Palestine conflict, it functions in much the same way. Settlers roll up to a Palestinian neighborhood to cause trouble. IDF soldiers stand behind them, filming the scene. The settlers pick fights, break into homes and shops, tear down olive groves, and otherwise act like rotten little shits to everyone in the area. Anyone who confronts them gets jumped by the IDF or shot. Then the B-roll airs under the caption “Insane Palestinian Terrorist Attacks Humble Jewish Vagrant” and Israelis rally behind the settlers while Palestinians have to explain the slanted coverage and doctored media to an incredulous audience.

Listen, we’ve all been here.

Nope, it’s R’lyeh

I’ll never understand why people don’t just make playlists of music and save it down locally.

I had no less than sixteen hours of music in CDs stuffed in my glove box back in college. Would cycle through that maybe once or twice a month. Maybe I’d throw on a little NPR if I was curious about the news. But why on God’s Green Earth would you subject yourself to the garbage radio networks available in the modern era?

Until you dial in to one of those give-away events, sure.

You can sue them.

Excited to collect $.26 in damages after six years in court.

Impossible. I was told Trump gets his marching orders from Vladimir Putin because of the Pee Tape.

Slay the Spire used goofy little MS Paint doodles of the thing they intended to fill the role of the asset. And then those doodles became unlockable as you progressed through the game. I found that funny and cute.

That said, I’m not going to lose sleep over it one way or another.

From what to what? It’s always been about sports gambling, with war profiteering as a side-hustle.

Are you kidding? All of this describes someone from Manchester.

Guy Richie made his career on movies about this kind of British person

Data isn’t very valuable if you can’t transmit it.

At some point you need to trust someone

Hehe. Of course not.

The double tap strike is deliberately employed to murder medical staff and to punish the enemy for showing compasion.

It is paired with the Hannibal Directive, as a proscription to ally and adversary alike to offer no quarter nor to expect it be given.

It is the policy of genocide, imposed by a leadership that can only see victory in terms of annihilation.

And women earned rights in the UK before the US

Rights are very different than status.

Then again, racism was on the decline here

That’s debatable.

You mean high speed rail and electric cars?

I’m not a mathematician, but it appears to my untrained eye that 2/3 of Americans want Universal Healthcare

What does that look like in implementation?

Medicare For All is generally unpopular among senior citizens. Medicare buy in is more appealing, but does little to curb price gouging in provision of care. State ownership/management of care facilities is easily subjected to scandals that cost political advocate their jobs (the VA being a classic modern example).

So what’s the plan?

Rowling spends almost every bit of income she gets on funding anti-transgender organisations and literal fascists

I think you’re underselling how much she spends on country club memberships and private planes.

The undercover agent kills a secretly terminally ill teacher to protect a young boy who is being jumped into a fascist gang.

It’s bad storytelling (because the stakes have been ratcheted so low) not bad politics.

It’s most probable that Rowling is actually trans, but refuses to accept it.

I’ve heard this speculated extensively. It would certainly be ironic.

But I’m more prone to believe she’s one more British Fascist, poisoned by money and a growing circle of reactionary hysterics.

She has even said that she wished she was a boy

A lot of that stems from British entrenched misogyny. Wanting the privileges of masculinity, as much as the actual biology.
