Will never understand Vatnik pastime of making the EU sound way cooler than it is.

I cannot even imagine the seething rage any Ukrainian must feel any time an American justifies voting that orangutan and playing god with the fate of their country over a transgender person being in a cartoon or some shit.

It's the almost all-important first point of contact people have with politics at this point. And that is nothing short of a depressing tragedy given how important the issues discussed in the modern day are.

It's not just about the effort put in, it's also about the target audience. I imagine most people who interact and view your content are for better or for worse already politically involved and probably entrenched.

anti SJW slop content targets and mobilizes apolitical people through pop culture.

I've literally seen this happen in real time, the trip from clicking on a video saying "Star wars sucks now because it's woke" to thinking "It's okay to blow up fishing boats and execute everyone on board with no due process in the Caribbean" is surprisingly fucking short.

No matter how well organized it is.

First impressions matter so much, and the right wing commentators made damn sure the first impression so called "normies" get of the left is some woman with colored hair screeching that what they like is problematic in some way, and the algorithm does the rest.

It just feels way too easy for them given the culture war issues and how good they are at funneling otherwise apolitical or involved people down a pipeline to extremism.

Feels like one stupid race swap in a Netflix production does more recruitment for the right than anything the left ever does.

Spectating V4 elections while not bashing your head into a wall challenge (impossible difficulty)

0BPM is stable.

The worst case scenario is the shooter getting away, that would be a very scary part. Since the precedent of killing a political figure and getting away with it completely cleanly could be horrible, possibly leading copy-cats into thinking they could get away with it too and escalating violence.

Considering nothing much came from January 6th I don't think there's a singular event that can be big enough to make substantial change on its own in American politics, unless it's actually of 9/11 or JFK assassination level magnitude.

They'll probably forget about it in a week or two. It's kinda how the news media operates, and there really isn't enough meat on the bone for this story to survive much longer than that, and election season is still miles away for it to have much of an impact there.

I knew he'd do anything to avoid debates, but I didn't think he'd go THIS far.

Doesn't that alone make this post dishonest by that point? Like the last line by that point just translates to "They can keep the non union VAs... but they do have to join the union" By which point you can't guarantee they will. And at that point you can't really guarantee the full cast will return.

To my understanding (which could be wrong)

Hoyo signs agreement > Genshin becomes a union project > non-union workers can't work on union projects unless they use a Taft Hartley (The have a max of 3) > non-union actor runs out of TH > Non-union actor has to join the union ($3000 + fees) or quit.

Can't wait for this little phase of yours to pass 🙏
