This is what living in a city does to a mfer. Everyone knows its the trees swinging their branches makes the wind.

I gave up after the 2nd episode of the second season. It felt like the person running the show actually hated the books. It felt like sabotage.
The witcher is pretty bad.
Dangerous Dave.
Calling out imperialist running dogs isn’t toxic. Just like being aggressively anti-racist isn’t toxic. If a person upholds capitalism, which is by nature exploitive and anti-egalitarian, they are toxic and deserving of rebuke.
“I refuse to change my offensive language despite people telling me it is offensive. I think I am cool because I am using abusive language to make people feel uncomfortable. I am proud of being exclusionary and my self worth is tied to being offensive to others.”
Is anyone really complaining
Yes. The op is bothered by the use of casual racism. Many people in this thread are saying that racism bothers them. Does racism not bother you?
Being open to other points of view is only good right?
No some points of view are not worth considering. Bigotry and racism, just like the viewpoint that its good to eat your own excrement, are view points of no value.
White knighting and telling others they are doing it wrong suppresses what should be a chill creative club.
Wanting to not be exposed to racism and racist slurs is not white knighting. Just because this specific racial slur doesn’t target me doesn’t mean I am unaffected by it. It is called empathy. Even if I was a sociopath I would be against all racism because I don’t like to experience racism happening to me. I would be against the racist term “Ricer” because I don’t want to normalize any racially slur because I may be the next target.
Racists and offensive language are suppressive and any community supporting those things is not chill.
“nothing is good if I’m not hurting someone.”
In the long run, it means revolution I guess. But in the meantime, how do we stop old ladies from getting murdered over pride flags (to use a recent example)? Cristofascists and those that profit from them winning elections legitimizes their hate. It empowers the twatknuckles that support them. Even dumb crap like calling COVID the “Chinese Virus” spurs on hate crime.
Has voting stopped this?
How do we deal with that?
Organize with other people who want a new system. Convince other people that nothing is going to get better by voting. Make connections with others groups who are doing the same. Build/join a network so that you/they know when critical mass is reached. While you wait for revolution, do what you can in your local community to make people’s lives better. This will also help pull people to the cause.
Also be ready to be a partisan because fascism rides electoralism to power so things are likely to get worse before they get better.
Is it wrong to pirate movies
Don’t hate us because we post like gods gift to the internet.
You just cant match the raw power of our posting skills and that makes you feel weak and pathetic. As it should.
Dude! that sucks. Have you tried telling her that gold and realestate are the only sure bet? Start telling her lies about a guy you talked to on the internet who invested in actual physical gold and used the profits to buy his house outright.
The people counting the votes see the dissent. Low voter turn out delegitimizes the system. If only 30% of people voted it is easy to say the system is corrupt and that outside pressure is justified. If 30% of ballots are being thrown out it calls into question the entire system.
If “bad country” reported that 30% of their ballots were discounted the USA would slap sanctions on them and start banging war drums.
If you aren’t working for yourself you are getting ripped off.
Police and banks don’t care about drug users. Crypto only makes things easier for dealers. I bet more crypto gets used for trading CSAM than for drugs.
Any legitimate vote is defacto consent for the system. The biggest stand you can take in a voting booth is spoiling your ballot with obscenities. It is abundantly clear that “harm minimization” doesnt work. Voting for a lesser of 2 evils is still voting for evil.
So you are against prostitution in practice but not in theory?
Crypto as an extralegal means of moving money is totally useful.
How is another way for billionaires to avoid paying taxes not a scam?
I’m not pro establishment
I just continue to legitimize the establishment in word and deed.
I thought different languages had all the same words they just swapped the letters.
