rugged individualism is by far the most bizarre belief because unlike every other position good or bad which can be traced back to some part of human development over the evolutionary process, this one is truly alien, it's a rejection of the primary advantage our species had that helped us take over

It might be quiet on the national stage about this topic, but there are still movements at local levels bought into the unfounded claims about election fraud.

They were encouraged by outside activist Clements to “pack the room” at that Board meeting in order to “create drama” between community members and their elected and appointed officials, which can then be “amplified” through publication.

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

As I told someone on the fence today, I’d rather be disappointed in a president not living up to my ideals than spending every day praying that a maniac in the White House won’t enact the terror he has promised.

Look I am all in for defeating moron fascism and stopping Trump, even if it means voting for someone I don’t like, but that does NOT extend to supporting Gavin Newsom, stop trying to make it happen.

Periodic reminder that fascists literally can’t deal with or counter humor and satire so we should all probably get back to calling these people dip shits, weirdos, and other things to really neuter their ability to try and command any kind of attention going into the election.

The attacks you’re seeing on the Harris and Walz families from the online right are reflective of a different ideological orientation towards family as mere objects that are meant to reflect the greatness of the husband and father, not people with their own lives and emotions.

And this is how fascism wins. It convinces moderates to stop using the correct language to name what our enemy is and make no mistake. Trump and the Republicans are a fascist anti-democratic enemy to every real American who believes in the Constitution and rule of law. Do not stay silent.

You cannot rally against the homogenisation of modern triple-A games AND insist that From Software needs to include an easy mode in their games.
It's the same discussion. Either developers can be free to make games that don't appeal to the widest possible base, or they can't.

A good political communications thing to do is just find some basically apolitical niche of people and find a way to talk to them about shit they care about. E.g. any politician in the country could get an interview with the largest video game outlets by proposing regulation of microtransactions

The Sony fuckup with helldivers, and the community getting them to walk it back is a perfect example of what a union with middle management on their side can do.
Remember, collective action works when it comes to bullying corpos. We should do it more often

Berating people who are talking about not voting because of disappointment has never and will never be an effective strategy.
Why not acknowledge the basis for disappointment and put pressure on electeds to do better, deliver more, and earn their support?

There's a lot of insanity in the world at the moment, but a good thing I'm holding onto is the high likelihood of a contract agreement being approved by my employer. I've spent 14 months on the negotiating team during some wild moments and it's a bit unreal that it's almost settled.
