In some ways this is the government now
r/Lollapalooza 3 yr. ago DaL 028 Join [deleted] I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa... Question I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

The video is an uncomfortable watch, but an important one nonetheless.

Hearing Cathy tell the story of what happened to her is an important part of Magic: The Gathering's history, one that needs to be known about and acknowledged: youtu.be/-WVnrKRsuqI?...

I think I would take reactionary centrists more seriously if they could cite one (1) example of progressives pushing for social change the *right* way -- using just the right slogans, supporting just the right policies, protesting in just the right fashion.

Even in Magic: the Gathering it takes two incomes to pay the rent. What happened to escapism?
