Don’t be put off by the comparisons to dark souls, the main reason I said it is relaxing is the very lenient way it deals with its survival mechanics. Especially if you have a decent sized group you could totally just farm and play viking stardew valley.

Not sure which season you are referencing but Valheim is really cozy and a very relaxing take on the survival crafting genre.

If someone drinking a pint could blow a potent cloud of second hand pint into my personal space

Yeah but someone having drank a few pints can and do frequently blow through intersections and into people’s personal space killing them instantly.

I’ve lost more people that way than to any other substance abuse. I think you’re right that it’s not equavalent: Alcohol still infinitely worse

Okay but I don’t smoke indoors, if I am on the street and someone is coming my way I will put it out or move away. Only one I am punishing is my self and as for its harmful effects I am a fuckin adult I can do what I want if it isn’t harming someone else. I am also a strict abolitionist when it comes to drug crimes of every sort. Prohibition is only ever a tool of repression and that goes for ALL drugs so fuck that.

You want to treat the problem? Fine, treat it without punishing the users but the system that causes people to seek reprieve in various vices.

I would sooner be in favor of banning alcohol even though I like it.

First they came for the cigarettes but I did not speak out because I was not a smoker, then they came for blunt wraps but I did not speak out because I was not a stoner, then they came for the vape juice but I did not speak out because I was not a frat guy who wears wraparound shades, then they came for my nicotine gum and there was nobody left to speak out for me.

Seriously though smoking bans are dumb and just lead to more ways to punish poor people.

I miss the chinese F2P battlefield 2 version

You’d be cheering on the slaughter of participants in the Warsaw ghetto uprising you disgusting excuse for a human being.

I don’t care that they probably scapegoated a few of their own to appease the fascists at the helm of the zionist project. Anyone that takes this probably bogus claim seriously only serves to justify genocide and future killing of aid workers.

And frankly if they did participate good for them for laying their lives and livelihoods on the line to try to do whatever possible to help liberate the subjects of genocide.

TLDR you should be ashamed for spreading an unsubstantiated claim whose only purpose is to justify one of the most horrifying acts of imperial violence since the Vietnam war.

This sounds like bullshit. There are no actual sources included or evidence provided besides “trust me bro” and th only thing this article serves to do is to justify prior and future attacks on aid workers.

This all smells like encouraging voters to stay home because “both sides.”

God you people have a one track mind. No I am begging people to take more action (and responsibility) than just going to the voting booth once every 2, 4, 6 years etc.

Join a revolutionary party, join a mutual aid organization, volunteer whatever free time you can to actually doing something about issues you claim to care so dearly about. Maybe if you are of the privileged demographics put your body on the line to defend those targeted by state and or fascist violence.

Stop pretending like the only politics is liberal bourgeois democracy ffs. It’s sooooo god damn tiring.

And sure vote if you want to but stop blaming the people for reasonably checking out of this broken system while still doing the more important work of direct action for not endorsing literal genocide.

Like it or not that is materially what your vote does. It endorses the policies of the person you voted for. All of them.

cool no answer just a pithy condescending personal insult got it.

Motherfucker literally argued against hypothetically killing Hitler.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist fucking bleeds. I may still be an anarchist but I’d sign on with comrade Stalin at this point.

These people deserve the same fate as the Nazis. Yeah yeah I am being uncivil. Fuck if I care, civility is for cowards. What the fuck you gonna do vote me off the internet?

I’m losing my shit here lmao liberals literally condemning the hypothetical killing of fuckin HITLER. What the actual fuck dude.

Things that can’t be dismissed online.

OH GOD NOO NOT THE GENOCIDAL POLITICANS NOOO

Yeah you’re not wrong but the whole OP was about voting as harm reduction which I fundamentally disagree with.

Fascism arises because of the collapse of institutional legitimacy of liberal institutions. That’s how we got trump and that’s how we’re gonna get what’s coming next after him, that’s gonna be even worse, because if you think that there’s not gonna be more ecological and economic catastrophes in the future that liberalism is wholly unsuited to fucking deal with and that that failure is not gonna lead to fascism filling that fucking hole, you’ve got another thing coming.

And that’s what these guys are. These guys who marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of the sort of zombie neoliberalism that we’re living in which is that we’re coming at a point that there’s gonna be ecological catastrophe and it’s going to either require mass redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world or genocide.

And these are the first people who have basically said, “Well if thats the choice I choose genocide.” And they’re getting everybody else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that’s gonna be ok when it happens. Why they’re not really people. When we’re putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away so we can watch them die with clear consciences because we’ve been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

On the other side of them you have people who are saying in full fucking voice, “No, we have the resources to save everybody, to give everybody a decent and worthwhile existence,” and that is what we want, and that is the fucking real difference between these two.

Paraphrasing Matt Christman.

In short by holding dear to these liberal institutions we are inadvertantly accelerating the rise of fascism.

I am saying neither will do less harm.

So why are you still bothering trying to tell people to vote for these ghouls?

I am mad and throwing civility out the window but I am also genuinely curious.

How do you hold those two contradictory thoughts together in your brain at the same time?

Please be civil

I will try to respect your rules better but I fundamentally disagree with civility/tone policing when it comes to literal genocide and people advocating voting for people facilitating said genocide.

Like I said before I got heated and that person strawmanned me saying I was advocating political assassinations. There is a world of action that needs to be taken outside of electoralism and focusing on elections and voting is something I feel is a distraction from What Is To Be Done.

I AM BEGGING YOU TO FUCKING DO MORE THAN VOTING AND STOP THINKING THAT VOTING IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING HOLY SHIT MAN.

I HATE that you fuckin libs think that politics ends at the ballot box and then when I say this this motherfucker makes up a strawman about me advocating political assassination.

You people are fucking useless.
