Good observation! I’ve seen too many people claim that there’s every possibility things get better from here— which I think is far too optimistic. Sure, technically speaking, things could get better. But as you say, they could also get worse. Both are possible but the latter is more possible

Because they don’t exist? Or because they are fun and cute parts of media? Either way, AGREE

Oh no. Are they going to be banned soon?

Funny! Not super tasteful - but that wasn’t a very tasteful time in our history.

Sorry can you explain what an altered buffoon is. Otherwise agree with your sentiments entirely!

100% true. I also think we need to normalize kissing your friends platonically! This is historically very common in many societies around the world and is honestly super fun

Not a bad point! But on the other hand, it’s often said political power comes from “the barrel of a gun.” What can the Court do when trump refuses to recognize their decision (as is happening now)? Supreme Court army is the obvious answer imo

I'm so mad! I think we need to give the Supreme Court their own section of the military (NOT controlled by the "commander in chief") to enforce their judgements. Possibly John Roberts could lead?

Very unjust. That said, money is rarely a understood as a reward for moral character– in fact it's often the opposite! Might be better to shrug our shoulders and just "keep on keeping on"

Cool! Probably fell out of favor because she was a representation of the Ancien Regime. Not very popular folks once ol' Robespierre showed up. If only they could have worked together!

Tragic and I’m very sorry to hear. January sixth was not February fourteenth. Important that we recognize this

Good point! But I wonder if we encourage lonely young men to organize it might lead to an epidemic of “DSA guys” making other folks feel uncomfy at meetings. Maybe worth finding a middle ground— possibly a set amount of slots in organizations for reformed incel and the like

Lol! Roman citizens also usually got some land to till, but that just adds more problematic aspects to the equation.

Why is he so intent on going after our children? Because they can't vote? Understandable short term thinking, but very stupid when you consider these children likely have parents.

They actually just play a lot of Counterstrike and stuff, in my experience.

When the topic is my cat, the conflict is like, "where's my damn dinner!"

Historically plus size folks have been discriminated against for wearing long shorts/capris, but that's no excuse. That said, we do live in a very tense political moment, so I hope all of us can forgive each other and move on

Agree. Loved it all until recently and own thousands of dollars of merch. But it just feels weird and impersonal now. I'd like to support a more egalitarian popular media franchise instead.
