I'm sorry, what? Maybe that's what he said when asked about it, but you read the LOTR Trilogy and the Silmarilion and they are ALL ABOUT inherent evil. Hell, in his cynicism the Age of Man is all about all the good things draining from the world because men themselves are inherently evil.

3/5ths compromise and the electoral college are a package deal, neither makes sense without both. Replace large and small states with developed states and slave (primarily agricultural) states.

It was so they could use their slaves as political currency to keep themselves in power.

The amount of earnest goodwill Valve has banked from not being as OVERTLY evil as other big gaming giants never ceases to astonish me.

They used a 15-year-old cliffhanger to sell a $1000 VR headset with a spin-off game that snubs the titular character's original actor and were LAVISHED with praise.

Time and again, we are presented with the same tableau: a three-inch mouse effortlessly subdues a 40-pound cat, flattens him with an anvil, denounces him implicitly as a “bully, idiot, menace,” and dispatches him with both moral and literal finality.

Well, you know how VR took off...

Because if it's the one I'm thinking of there's very little Patlabor in it. It's more of a horror story set in the same universe.

Almost like everything goes back to structures of hierarchy and privilege, and shaping ALL of culture around that. Weird how that wouldn't just apply to economics.

? Assuming for a second you are real, do you never wonder why no one likes you?

"I have asked you to name one major piece of Democratic legislation from the last 45 years."

And another lie. Do you see why I'm not taking you seriously?

Tell that to dozens of Black leaders of the civil rights movement the conservatives successfully erased from the popular consciousness.

Trust me bro is not an argument.

Said the guy that claims he can't tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans and uses as evidence a conversation with someone else he just plain made up.

Just admitting it.
