Don't lump anarchists with way too online MLs.

Ngl, i'm just going to assume you are a neo-lib who is going to back away from those other symbols as soon as you see a homeless person just walking down the street. As an ND Queer who grew up in OK and now lives in a liberal area, it's all the same shit. I've seen plenty of American flags being waved next to pride flags and shit but these same people will call the cops cause someone looks "fishy" in their neighborhood (and the fishy is being Black, but hey why do any introspective about your role in the racist system). I've never seen anyone who flies the American flag that didn't come from someplace of privilege that will say "BLM!" or "Love is Love!" and then turn around and say "Maybe some conservatives have a point" or whatever.

Just letting you know, if you fly an American flag regardless of whatever else, a lot of different marginalized people are going to side-eye you and not trust you. You can't "take back" something that is embedded in the very fabric of the creation of this country (hate, bigotry, fascism) without societal changes to the basic foundations of this country.

oh my god, people like you still exist? Fuck off

agreed

sure, but the series and Square are by far very different than they were in it's heyday. Square has really been racking its players over the coals with shitty tactics lately and has signaled pretty loud and clear that they don't care about games at all and are just trying to get money out of you (I mean all major companies are like that, the others are just better at it and shut up about it) I said Tears of the Kingdom because it's the current high selling game, that's what they wanted this game to be and I honestly don't know why you'd even hope for something like that when handling business the way they do. (as people have mentioned they'd play it but do not have the system.)

It's Square, they wouldn't of been happy unless it sold as much as Tear of The Kingdom

yep, honestly i'd prefer to handle the issue of America not being where it needs in a more...direct way (like having cocktails on the boss's lawn), however, the people are not there yet and we need to continue to organize and open people's understanding of how they are being played. Thrown that out as a suggestion as something that might work as of right now. Though I will say, it is nice to be reminded that there are people I can be a little bit more open to the whole "our political system is illegitimate" (and that's the nicest way anyone can put it). Been organizing in a local issue and have to walk around big scary words like "fascism" and "socialism" like i'm playing minesweeper, that i forget that some spaces it's not necessary.

This implies that I consider the Republicans any short of type of legitimate. The only thing I care to do with the nazi party is to treat them as nazi's should be treated. While the younger generation would probably agree with me, we are not quite where we need to be with that. So if i'm talking about anything in regards to handling politics in any way that isn't a riot, i'm going to be referring to Democrats...who the vast majority are also not legitimate but many people are not ready to hear that yet, so I offer the suggestion I have at the time. I do agree with you mostly. I would greatly like to burn it all to the ground and build something better, but until the people are there, i'm going to suggest things that might work in our current climate while suggesting people organize and work on opening people's understanding on the fact that our institutions only exist to serve the ruling class. Let's just say I wait for the day that we can have cocktails at these people's houses.

are we ready to admit that Joe Rogan is basically just a right wing podcaster now or are we going to continue this stupid dance of "no he's just a centrist telling it like it is"

No

ACAB

I think we really need to start shoving the noses of Democrats on how much China is beating our ass in just about everything in regard to infrastructure and going green. Pride is about the only thing i can think of that might make the Dems do something other than the barest of bare minimums on these things and point out how the supposedly "bad" country is doing better then us might get people to think. idk anything to challenge American Exceptionalism
