Hello to everyone following me because you clicked on the Lancer TTRPG Creators Starter Pack thinking "eh, why not," you may know from things like "nothing" or "who the fuck is this guy?" My name is Kai Tave, and sometimes I work on the #LancerRPG in various capacities. Here's the stuff I've done

This is, of course, to say nothing of the myopic ahistoricality of boiling Indian independence down to "Gandhi preached nonviolence, there was a march, and the British Empire shed a noble tear and freed them all, the end." Genuinely and unironically, open the schools

There is a greater chance of the Rapture actually happening then there is of the United States of America ever developing anything resembling a conscience

When people talk about "fedposting" it isn't always as literal as it is with Asha here, a no-fooling former FBI agent, but even if she wasn't, it is quintessential fedposting to go "you should all throw yourselves head first into the blood machine, maybe it'll make the people in charge feel bad"

Aaron Bushnell literally immolated himself in broad daylight to protest the Palestinian genocide and every single person with their hands on the levers of power in this country gave a great big collective shrug and went back to business as usual

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

You do sound ignorant when you compare an institution’s powers today to its actions over half a century ago, under a completely different legal regime. I realize most people may not understand why that matters, but to me it sounds soooo dumb. Sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️

I mean at least pick an example in this century

tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · Aug 27

You called people ignorant for observing reality instead of favoring nostalgic norms.

People do tend to object to being called ignorant when the speaker is the one with her head in the sand. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Notice that you don't even have to insult these people to get blocked, just pointing out verifiable historical fact is enough

And let's not forget how we got here: people who didn't vote for Kamala or sat out the election/were "uncommitted" feel this is an appropriate way to "punish the Dems" but all it's doing is hurting extremely vulnerable people.

I think it's a mix of that and a mix of some of them genuinely thinking history really had ended, being completely unable to handle the fact that it hadn't, and are now angrily lashing out at the easiest targets. They spent their whole lives checked out, zero awareness, and now the assignment's due

I don’t really understand the people who think we shouldn’t situate the current moment in context of the last 25 years in American politics, including the actions of the three Democrats who were president during that time

From Tom Homan's Wikipedia page:

Early career

In 1983, Homan became a police officer in West Carthage.[5][7]

In 1984, Homan joined what was then called the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. He served as a United States Border Patrol agent, investigator, and supervisor over a 30-year career.[7] He quickly transferred from the Wellesley Island station to the Texas division and spent five years as a uniformed agent in California and Arizona.[8]

Homan was a supervisor on the Texas border with Mexico in 2003.[8]
Obama administration (2014–2016)

He was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement's executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.[7]

By 2014, under the Obama administration, Homan began to argue that separating children from their caregivers would be an effective means of discouraging illegal border crossings. The journalist Caitlin Dickerson describes him as the "intellectual father" of the policy, which he outlined years before it was adopted by the Trump administration. "Most parents don't want to be separated", Homan told Dickerson. He argued that this fact made separation an effective tool for immigration enforcement: "I'd be lying to you if I didn't think that would have an effect."[9]

In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. The Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."

"Fighting for democracy and the soul of America" but infinite bombs to do genocide on anyone else, real cool moral framework there

What's incredible is that if you point out that a business model where you burn infinite amounts of money for no return is a bad model that should call the business into question, YOU'RE the one who gets shouted down as an unthinking reactionary

The reason nobody likes or respects you people, beyond all the other extremely blatant reasons not to like or respect you, is because every single one of you is disingenuous as fuck. "I clicked a pornbot by mistake" isn't why people keep bringing that incident up and you aren't fooling anyone

Oh, so it was just a little oopsy-woopsy that led to you also "misclick" banning the bot creator without any response, is that it?

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 1d

1) This was a spam network shared internally at Bluesky for investigation on spam likes. 2) I misclicked/unclicked, but a harassment bot picked it up 3) I continue to be harassed about it a year later

I'm offering a genuine response that I don't see the need for this continually to be raised.
