"for azeroth" used to go hard bc it was notorious warhawk varian wrynn saying it during the apocalypse and now its just everyone saying it all the time. the writers think the words hold inherent weight that can be evoked whenever they want. this is because they arent real writers
Explicitly.
Mao had an official tell him to his face his policies caused famine and mass death, and dude just had him thrown in prison and tortured.
Deng reformed China by specifically removing Maoist policy.
His era is one of the most documented cases of "This guy SUCKED."
Antisemitism is so funny.
You have to believe both that the Jews are inferior and also that if you pass one bill they don't like they can just light your entire country on fire.
70k dead in Palestine: "GENOCIDE!!!"
45 million dead in China: "Didn't happen, but if it did it was an accident, and if it wasn't then it wasn't a big deal because they were landlords or something."
They sold us an interconnected saga with Metzen saying “I hope it’s clear that we’re not messing around” and then gave us an incredibly sloppy rush job of vaguely related stories that have been almost universally panned.
Destiny says the far right keeps the far left alive on purpose
"The far right is very cognizant that people on the far left do not represent a threat to them at all. You can tell because they always use the far left to attack moderate Democrats."
"When they attack moderate Democrats they try to destroy them. Jimmy Kimmel had the FCC trying to get his show taken off the air."
"But nobody is bringing that kind of pressure on the very far left people to deplatform them. They like that they exist, because they can always use them as a cudgel to attack other Democrats."
There's this haunting tale by Arthur C. Clarke where a Tibetan temple hires some computer engineers to set up a supercomputer to print out all the names of God.
They believe that stating God's nine billion names is the entire purpose of the universe. And they've been working on it for millennia. But they reckon a supercomputer would be much faster performing this sacred duty.
The story ends with the two engineers coming down the mountain and laughing about the silliness of it all. Then they notice that "overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out."
I really love that story because it shows the hubris of technology and how we might unleash forces far more powerful than we understand through it.
I don't think that the far right and far left need to come together to fight against corrupt elites.
I think the far right and far left need to come together and learn basic numeracy and literacy, and stop being mentally deranged lunatics.
is everyone ready for TLT where orweyna sacrifices herself to become the world soul instead of xalatath and then every time we talk about the world soul we have to say orweyna instead. are we all emotionally ready for that
