    One of the most fun ttrpgs I’ve played was XXXXXtreme Street Luge.

    It’s a game about the underground street luge racing scene. There are no rules for street luging. Every scene takes place in a character’s mom’s basement, after a race. Everyone roasts each other for their street luging.

    You have a stat for how much like dwayne the rock johnson your character is. If you’re actually dwayne the rock johnson IRL, you can max the stat. A rule specifies that.

    Reposting popular material isn’t a reddit thing, it’s a human thing.

    There will always be someone who just discovered that whatever from a couple years ago and likes it enough to post it. The larger the user base, the more common this becomes.

    I’m saying the need to instantly and constantly denounce tankies is tedious and counterproductive. I’m saying that policing the boundaries of leftism based on dumb shit said online is a reactionary distraction.

    It’s not about defending tankies it’s about people who are constantly shifting the focus of conversation to the most mockable section of online lefties.

    The ruling class don’t waste their time distancing themselves from qanon, they focus on furthering their class interests and emiserating the poor.

    Liberals who are constantly calling people tankies are helping the ruling class.







  • state is, ideally, composed of elected representatives

    oligarch-led private armies oppressing people.

    They’re the same picture.

    Elections are a venue for competiting oligarchs - US elections are largely just a wealth check - with the bonus that afterwards people feel they’ve chosen their oligarchs and are less likely to notice that 90%+ of elected representatives only represent the interest of elites.

    I do the same thing at work when I need mentally ill people to do what I say. “You can do what I want version A, or do what I want version B, which one?” always works better than “Do what I want!”

    I agree that violence management is a very difficult problem with no easy solution. But I don’t think giving full control of legitimate violence to the rich is the best solution, which is what a state of elected representatives does.
