Obviously it's short for Fa-la-la! They did the War on Christmas!

And you ask them why people are calling them Nazis and they say something like "just because I think trans people don't exist, non-white people are inferior subspecies of human, and the Jews are destroying society from within doesn't mean I'm a Nazi!"

It is now illegal to say the economy is bad. If you do, our beautiful, "hot" troops will shoot you in the face. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

they already look soft on crime. "Democrats look soft on crime" was already the conventional wisdom WHILE CLINTON WAS SIGNING THE FUCKING CRIME BILL. "Dems soft on crime" is REPUBLICAN MESSAGING UNCONNECTED TO THEIR ACTIONS.

Washington Generals shit right here

You can't really be "good at fascism" because fascism isn't a sustainable form of government, but you can still make a hell of a lot of people suffer while you fail at fascism

Arguably the most successful fascist was Franco, and the system he set up completely collapsed after his death because the force of his personality was all that was holding it together.

At some point, a Dem mayor or governor is going to have to order their national guard to stand down, or the police to arrest ICE for lawbreaking, and that will be the inciting incident

Yeah, but established players get turned off by the amount of licensed stuff coming down the pipe and quit.

Watch out for the guy in the inflatable frog suit. He may look harmless, but like the animal he is emulating, the cute exterior hides a deadly poison

Who could've possibly seen this coming?

For now, yeah. But everytime Maro has promised UB won't move beyond a certain threshold of relevance to the game, it has passed that threshold, and now we're looking at a game that's more than half licensed IP cards in standard

I'm mostly worried about the game turning into Western Weiss Schwarz. At what point does WotC decide that having original lore isn't worth the investment and Magic just becomes an IP crossover game?

Graffiti and homeless people still exist, so the cops must not be able to do their job: executing people in the street for looking unkempt

That may have been true from the 40s-90s, but nowadays, most of the discourse involves Islam and wanting to "civilize" the Middle East
airdeez121.bsky.social
Some Jewish communities, of course. Mostly Orthodox ones
airdeez121.bsky.social
This is especially true in Jewish communities where it's a combination of "we are biblically commanded to love Israel (even though it's debatable if today's Israel is the same thing as the biblical one)" and "those savage Muslims hate Jews and want us to die"

Bringing about the Rapture is a motive for a small number of very powerful people, but most pro-Israel sentiment is leftover Islamophobic from 9/11 and the GWOT
