Can I say something about the TLOU2 controversy? All these insufferable gamer nerds got so pissed at Abby for killing Joel and hurting Ellie that a huge number sent death threats to Abby’s VA. In all the talk I’ve seen of this, I didn’t see anybody mention that Laura Bailey (Abby’s VA) and Ashley Johnson (Ellie’s VA) ARE CLOSE FRIENDS WHO PLAY/LIVESTREAM PROFESSIONAL FUCKING DND TOGETHER EVERY THURSDAY. Like how tf does a person get so fucking disconnected from reality it seems like a good idea to threaten Laura over a character she played hurting a character her friend played? And the best part? Troy Baker - the VA for Joel - was the best man in Laura’s wedding. They’re literally all incredibly close friends and these delusional morons think they’re somehow defending Troy’s and Ashley’s characters
Counterpoint: It’s a great opportunity to tell gamers about all kinds of fucked up CIA shit.

Tool up and find comrades. Time is running out for us.
This isn’t meant as a generalization we have many comrades out in the mountains and woods, this is meant as a reminder that wherever you are, you are not far from the fash.
Robert Evans’s war on everyone is a pretty good look at how the fascist right works and has gotten so strong https://soundcloud.com/user-234440623-899321285/sets/the-war-on-everyone
Eh, “Communism bad.” has been the majority American opinion since forever, that hasn’t really changed.
As much as things suck, we’re not back at 50s Red Scare levels yet.
