If you’re really willing to throw your whole life away to throw a hissy fit, then good.
Personally I’m glad that all the conspiracy theorist anti-science pukes are being pushed to the sidelines. If you don’t want to do your part to help society, then you shouldn’t get to participate in it.
You are actively helping give a virus that has already caused humanity far more trouble than it ever should have more chances to further mutate. You are contributing to the potential spread of a virus that WILL kill at least SOME people.
The vaccine is FREE. It is WIDELY AVAILABLE. Documented adverse effects are LESS THAN minimal. There is no excuse not to get it at this point other than to be defiant for the express purpose of defiance.
You quote “principles and what I believe in”. What principles? That “I shouldn’t have to do what the big bad government tells me to do”? That’s a toddler’s reply.
I know I’m not going to change your mind so I’m not going to try. Just know that if you throw away your job, right to travel, etc. etc. away in defiance of a basic public health measure you deserve it for being a selfish ignoramus.
Oh well! I hope I did a decent job as mafia at least! Anyway, I have several people I'd like to thank:
The first is Cathead, of course! Your storytelling skills are exemplary! So vivid and full of detail! Each one sent shivers down my spine and I must say reading them was a real treat that I looked forward to each day. You were truly a God(head?) of your own world, one I was happy to be a part of! ^_^ Not to mention the fact that you stayed well on top of things despite your hectic schedule and never failed to provide each vote's results accurately and promptly, I know what a chore that must have been.
Next I'd like to thank Lord Gorgen for being a cunning and capable mafia boss! Thank you for taking the time to stay active and organize everyone's votes each night so we didn't have to! Hehe
A BIG THANK YOU to Panzer for donating all the contest stuff, and another thank you to Godhead for selecting winners and passing out prizes! You guys both rock! Seriously!<3
A thanks to Daisy for providing a much needed foil and rival for my character (Katarina).
Thanks to BraveKath for being a good friend and making this game even more enjoyable! Honestly I chatted with you more than with Gorgen lol.
Thanks to Wolvie for being a nice ninja and not killing any of us! >:P
And finally thanks to everyone who believed in me even though I turned out to be a bad guy! Because of you I got to stay in longer, write more stories, and have more fun! So thank you!
I want to take a moment to thank Cathead for running this game, and also to say how much I admire his writing ability- very imaginative! You have real talent! It has encouraged me to take a more active RP role. Too bad so many others haven't even joined in yet. =/
Side note: All these "Italian" accents are driving me bonkers, so I'm modifying my character slightly. Katarina is now a Russian immigrant. Any further posts I make will be fully in-character. Slavs'ya, comrades!
And this is why you have no f**king clue how government works.
The President is a figurehead, nothing more. Always has been. That’s why Trump was so dangerous. He was the best bad cheerleader you could want. He convinced the racists and crazies he was Jesus, alienated our allies, and made us look like chumps to our adversaries. Putin planned for Ukraine deliberately because his favorite fanboy was Americas commander-in-chief. If he had won re-election, NATO would be in shambles while the worlds biggest mafia boss counted his chips and planned his next big gambit.
The only real power the president has is selecting Supreme Court justices. Thanks to people like you, women across America are one step closer to Gilead while assuring no Republican holds office ever again.
Other than that, if you’d ever passed high-school government, you’d know that the EXECUTIVE branch EXECUTES policy. Nothing more. Biden isn’t responsible for your high gas and grocery prices, moron. That was corporate boards taking advantage of the COVID panic, just like I predicted they would all the way back in 2020.
I am not going to denigrate that. It’s essential, and it takes time and dedication to become skilled in things like carpentry, plumbing, electrical, agricultural. And you can make good money doing it- rightly so.
Frankly I’m of the opinion if you work full time, you deserve a decent life. I don’t care if you’re guarding nukes or flipping burgers- 40 hours is 40 hours. Time is the one thing you cannot put a price tag on- and time itself has inherent value. You can’t get it back- ever. The minute- or 20 minutes, most likely in your case- it took you to read this comment? You’ll never have that time back.
That’s why everyone deserves a living wage. You call flipping burgers unskilled? I call it spending 8 hours on your feet, thankless, getting yelled at by customers who didn’t get a burger without onions, berated by a manager who wants you to work faster, while you don’t make enough to afford rent.
“Oh well that jobs for kids in high school”
Funny how all fast food and retail is open during school hours and late on school nights, isn’t it?
I’m off on a tangent now. I felt the need to address conservative talking points on labor, which are retarded. Let’s get back to you:
You nail wood together and complete electrical circuits. Good for you. You also seem to think that you have a modicum of political understanding. You do not.
You, like most of the wannabe fox pundits on here, think in terms of black and white- sometimes even in ways that are contrarian- “immigrants are lazy and taking advantage of welfare. But they’re taking our jobs.”
There are also points where you’re just plain evil and I swear to god if it came to it I’d do cartel stuff to your face: “you don’t have a right to what happens inside your body”. Bitch come say that to my face. I’m 115 pounds soaking wet- I guarantee if you’re Mike Tyson you won’t leave that encounter alive.
But mostly you don’t have a clue how economics work, how logistics work, how government works- period. The electoral process or how decisions are made. Who has control or why. Basically, money has more of a voice than any human. That’s bad. I can spend hours squawking at you at why that’s bad.
So are you, you guttersnipe. As for me, this is my home. I have a right to be here, a right to fight for the change I want to see come to fruition; a right to be dissatisfied with the way things are currently, *and* the right to voice that dissatisfaction whenever and however I choose. If you don’t like that then it sounds like you’re the one who should get the f**k out.
There will be a time shortly after that when the people who committed atrocities in the name of “the will of the free people” will be lined up and executed like the corpulent festering swine they are.
And I don’t know what the f**k “majority” you think will be sweeping in the new era of nazism but I assure you, there are significantly less of you pieces of horse manure than you’d like to think, no matter what newsmax says. You people talk real big when you’re LARPing in the woods with your night vision goggles and cheap kevlar vests you pigs buy at the surplus store but dollars to donuts says if you fools actually ever try anything you’ll break ranks and run like the undisciplined jokes you really are the second someone fires a shot in your direction.
Fascists are cowards. Bullies are only brave in great numbers when they aren’t encountering resistance.
If you are a Nazi, sympathize with Nazis, or hold Nazi beliefs, you deserve to die. No ands ifs or buts. Just lined up in front of a trench and plugged in the back of the head. I don’t care how you justify it, I don’t care what cool ideas Hitler had, I don’t care what some black guy did to you when you were a kid that made you this way, just f**king die.
We wouldn’t have to resort to punching Nazis today if our grandparents would have just finished killing them like they were supposed to instead of pardoning half of them to work on weapons of mass destruction.
This song and dance has been gone through a billion times on this thread alone. Diehard rightoids don’t give a shit. All that matters is he’s their boy, and they’re going to defend him even if he shoots a man on fifth Avenue. That isn’t hyperbole- the rallying cry would be “what did that man do to deserve it?”
I’m fairly certain Trump could **** a baby on public television and still win a primary election at this point…
In the middle of a vast empty wilderness, struggling against the harsh elements to survive, a lone wanderer rubs two damp sticks together in a desperate attempt to create fire, and illuminate the darkness around him.
Like every other dumbass right winger on here, you don’t have a clue what communism even is. Even though I’m sure the topic has been defined and discussed frequently.
I’d say this is too dumb to be a sincere comment, but since 2016 nothing surprises me about conservatives anymore.
This is just becoming a circle-jerk. You aren’t going to convince people who don’t want to be convinced. I put in my two cents and gave up. I’m mostly here just to laugh at the Trump fan club’s pathetic attempts to cope.
Whats going to happen is going to happen, that’s all there is to it. Trump will either be convicted (likely) or he won’t. He will either serve time (doubtful) or he won’t. The whole situation is muddied by politics- which it absolutely wouldn’t be if it weren’t a wealthy high-level politician’s ass on the line (see the recent case about that kid sharing classified materials on discord) and our democratic institutions will bear the consequences.
Theres nothing any of us can do on here accept take bets and yell at each other. And I’m personally getting bored of the “but Hillary” and “but Biden” and “no you stupid c**t”- round and round we go.
Why is it always right wingers calling everyone else sheep? You braindead f**king morons who will literally blindly parrot whatever some bullshit podcast, conservative blog or Murdoch-affiliated news outlet opinion piece spews.
Anything but actual reputable sources. Because that’s unthinkable, they’re conspirators. You must place your faith in Qanon Karen and her insane rantings on youvebeenliedto.jesusqmaga.org
Trusting far-flung out-of-pocket bullshit vomited into the world by anonymous randos instead of mainstream, vetted sources- whether it’s about politics, science, medicine, or anything else- doesn’t make you clever. It makes you an idiot.
Anyone who watches Alex Jones and calls anyone else sheep gets -1000 social credit score. To gulag you go.
You utterly fail to comprehend the nuance of how government works and it’s just pathetic.
Of course we’d be “ROASTED”. None of us have any business having access to classified documents period. We aren’t public officials. You dumbbell.
Trumps crime wasn’t that he possessed classified documents while he was in office, or even that had had them afterwards. His crime was intentionally squirreling them away and pretending he no longer had them after he *left* office, then sharing the contents of those documents with parties unknown.
You pretend to be this big neutral “both sides” Switzerland type of dude but if you really weren’t biased you’d see clearly what the difference here is between what Biden or Hilary did and what Trump has done. You refuse to see it because deep down you sympathize with the bastard, maybe even like him. And you really, really hate leftists. You don’t want to admit that publicly because you see which way the tide is turning, but otherwise there’s no way you could be this f**king obtuse. No way in hell.
Oh, trump won’t do time. I’m sure of it. When he said “I could shoot a man on fifth Avenue” he wasn’t kidding. The indictments are symbolic, and in some ways, a victory, but the truth is the very wealthy and the politicians have always been in bed together. The upper classes look out for their own. The only thing they fear is losing enough face in the public eye that they risk civil unrest, and that can in some cases guarantee concessions- such as, “okay, we get it, you won’t tolerate blatant corruption and protectionism if it’s REALLY in your face so we’ll dial back on the fascism for awhile”.
I’d love for trump to die in prison. Hell, if I were divine god-queen of earth, I’d personally commit acts on his pompous, pasty carcass that would make unit 731 blush. But that isn’t reality. Reality is that an impoverished, desperate petty criminal can rob a liquor store for a few hundred dollars, die in a hail of gunfire, and be called a piece of shit n-word animal to thunderous applause while the bloated demons actually responsible for all the ills in the world live like kings and get called smart geniuses. That’s the way it’s been since the first clever hunter-gatherer convinced his troop to call him “leader” all the way through Rameses I, to Nero, to Henry VIII, to John Rockefeller, the Waltons, and the Musk family.
Only the threat of mass destabilization keeps these goblins in check. It has happened before. No comfy maggot wants to wind up like Marie Antoinette, or Tsar Nicholas, or some of the factory owners in the industrial revolution that sported Colombian neckties back when the first “unions” actually had a spine. That fear is still ingrained in the people who own us.
When Trump was President there wasn’t a stacked Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the lynchpin here. The SCOTUS is now heavily biased, blatantly so, even. The GOP are acting like members of a good old boys club and if they ever get the presidency and both the house and senate, along with the court, there’s nothing that club wants to accomplish that’s off limits.
We’d in effect have a single-party government, and we all know how that works out. If they had that amount of power for even five f**king minutes midnight on a Tuesday you can bet they’d put shit in place to keep it forever.
After that, everyone who the club doesn’t like- well, we’ve seen this play before.
“Biden, Current President, has allowed his DOJ to indict his main political rival”
Yes. That’s what happens when you break the f**king law. You get indicted. That should be true whether you’re a serf or the king. Otherwise you’re suggesting that certain people are *above* the law. Surely you aren’t suggesting that are you?
You can “whatabout” Hillary and Biden until the cows come home. Of course public officials sometimes misplace or mishandle materials, they deal with literal thousand of documents. But when the feds come to you and ask for them back, you f**king give them back and say “whoops my bad”. Biden did. Trump would not be in any trouble whatsoever about this had he simply done that, on one of the *multiple* chances he was given to do so. Instead he said “nah I don’t know what you’re talking about” and then later called up his buddy and said on record “I have secret stuff that I’m not giving back but it’s ok because I was President”.
I was never a big fan of Hilary. A politician like her is bound to have skeletons in the closet. And frankly if she was responsible for wrongdoing, then hold her ass accountable too. But smashing throwaway phones that at one point might have had sensitive information sounds like standard procedure for high level government more than it sounds nefarious. But if there’s proof, lock her up right alongside Trumps dusty ass. I’m not gonna cherry pick like a hypocrite.
But Trump, they definitely have shit on him if the feds are making a move. As buddy-buddy as he is with Putin I wouldn’t be very surprised if this is all actually mich worse than is being let on.
