Reminds me of that lady who talked at the DNC about her and her family "fleeing communism", but her father was part of the Nicaraguan death squads or something?

Apparently she came off looking pretty good, I've heard from people around me. But if you're trying to appeal to people on Fox, it probably doesn't bode well.

God I wish this country would rebel about the fact our money is spent on these things instead of Healthcare.

Kinda wish he was hiding like the propaganda always said, but oh well. Gotta respect the man for going out that way I suppose.

That can't be. The front page of the Destiny subreddit says that Hamas is defeated. I'm sure they know what they're talking about.
Couldn't bring myself to open the actual thread though lol.

Sounds hilarious. I've only ever played MGS3 and it was one of the best games I've ever played, so I really should play the others.

Who is this guy? I see him everywhere on hexbear. Wish there was an emote source glossary or something lol.

This is me in my relationship right now. It's tough. 😔 Don't have a lot to say, except I empathize.

Haha thanks for that. This makes me feel slightly better about these ivy league assholes who spend forever trying to make our country worse. Imagine spending years in fraternity and debate club mixers sucking up to Federalist Society think tankers and business lobbyists, using all of your parent's golf buddies and contacts to get near power, all to then have to pretend this sundowning goofball is a genius to the public. Spending your days behind the scenes flipping through Spotify playlists trying to figure out how to reset the your boss so he can listen to your PowerPoint about the newest story on a made up crime Gambian immigrants in Plano, TX have maybe committed.

Same here. Although for me it was kind of cheating, since I was on the subreddit before and had no idea it moved here. Once I found that out, the bears had a leg up on dragging me here from my other Lemmy Alt lol. But I found that out only after hexbear were depicted as a boogie man to my other Lemmy account, and after I had a conversation with a couple about stuff.

Forsaken is great, but I never played Apocalypse to compare them together. I came in during nWoD, but Forsaken 2nd edition is one of my favorite game designs and settings of any rpg.
What's some books with an interesting vision of the future? I don't just mean more advanced technology, I mean the way it's organized. I find often people can't envision past the society we have now. There's that quote, "It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism", and it seems more and more true, but sci-fi authors seem best equipped to actually imagine beyond that. I've heard some sci-fi authors mentioned in this category before, like Heinlen, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Isaac Asimov's *Foundation* series. I haven't read any of them lol. Would have no idea where to start within them that fits this category, or what other choices there are that people would suggest.
I think that was his name. He just popped up on my YouTube recommended videos with an hour long video replying to a Hakim video about Ukraine. Not sure if it's countering or adding onto. The only people who pop up on my recommended list tend to be pretty cool because my algorithm has got me pretty figured out (it's how I discovered Hakim and other leftist video essayists in the first place, and recently revolutionaryth0t who I think has good potential), so normally I'd just give him a chance but that's a long video to watch for a new content creator, and if he sucks I don't want to discover by going through all his videos in case the algorithm thinks that means I like him lol. Has the algorithm kept up its good streak or messed up this time? I don't mind watching if he's a lib, as long as he has more good takes than bad takes, or is otherwise educating and entertaining enough (like I'd categorize Wisecrack or Some More News, or lots of non-political channels).
I'm watching the DNC, and it's made me even more aware of the power of liberal bourgeois democracies to let out a little revolutionary energy whenever it gets close to the edge, through concessional policies, like New Deal policies or whatever Kamala might do if she wins, or even the act of voting and campaigning itself. Do they have to go through a fascism phase first, or has there been a liberal bourgeois democracy that has successfully had a socialist revolution? Will it take new theory to figure it out?
I'm about halfway done with the last season of the Revolutions podcast and up to date with Blowback. I'm probably going to be looking for another fun history podcast to listen to soon to throw into my rotation with The Dollop, to break up the pop culture, comedy, or news podcasts. I recently listened to the Kissinger episodes of Behind the Bastards and they seemed pretty informative and funny. Also apparently it's by some old Cracked people, and I'm a fan of all those old Cracked content creators. But the first episode says it's about Stalin, so I'm guessing it's like in the progressive but lib direction? I don't mind, just want peoples thoughts on it before I decide to start or look for something else. How is it for people who have listened to it?
