  • cheaper

    If you want to live to old age (I’m ambivalent) you literally cannot afford to not have a revolution. More on this later.

    easier

    Nope. Those supply lines are crazy, the contrivances of insurance and IP law require so much bureaucracy, and then there’s tje side effects; of both capitalism and the drug.

    healthier

    Los Angeles kinda burned down and was drowned by toxic smoke last winter because we spent all the city and county money on cops to protect rich people from hearing the poor say “please stop” at scale and nothing preventing or preparing for the disasters our city/region is known for, that my grandmother, who had never been here, loved songs about. Best economic system. We’re rebuilding in the same places, with houses just as flammable. The people know it’s dumb, but the wealthy make the decisions. There was toxic fallout over the entire god damn city. It got everywhere. I’m almost certainly getting at least one cancer about this.

    This summer those cops saturated us with so much tear gas it poisoned the water protecting capital’s geopolitical interests from people asking the government to stop paying to blow up hospitals with their tax dollars. Billions of dollars annually. Basically the only industry employing certain kinds of engineers. To blow up hospitals. So healthy. So cheap. So safe.

    Today (technically yesterday but my sleep schedule is fucked) theres a potential for flash floods and I got emergency warnings about ‘debris flows’ which is like mudslides/flash floods but of toxic waste that nobody cleaned up because there’s no profit in that.

    We aren’t special. This shit happens everywhere.

    depression makes revolution harder

    Yeah, it does. But wanting to die can also be a strength, and capitalism causes and worsens depression.


  • The USSR covered 11 time zones, and at a less severe latitude the sun would not have set on its continental mass. It was and ts successor is more rural than the united States. For all the many many many many problems it had, this was not one of them.

    This is a problem, like school shootings, that Americans choose to have. Presumably because Americans are orcs.

    You are wrong, everything you believe is propaganda lies, and you are hostile to even the idea of understanding the real world because you value your delusions more highly. Stop spreading lies.









  • Axe with increased crit range (both sides)

    Flaming sword (no off switch; do not keep near oil, pa}er, etc.

    Shock arrows with electrical damage, stun on crit, compulsion to say some wsgelord shit next time youre talking to a new person each time you use one (non-stacking)

    Cold spear, extra bonus damage beyond normal, weather table is always like two steps worse (please get it the fuck out of the city!)

    Holy sword-but the sword has incentives to make you act like a cliche of how not to play a paladin

    Wand of magic missile (can only target abstractions)

    Wand of fireball (two charges per user. Not usable by everyone; made by an angry dramatic kinky trans woman)

    Immovable rod (no off switch)

    Staff of teleport (fixed targets for each charge, comes with the list. Maybe.)

    Tome of stat boost (obnoxious)-comes with compulsions (gym bro[toxic], yoga[toxic], raw milk/crunchiness, quoting Nietzsche or von neumann or something at every opportunity, talking in parables, cringe political opinions)

    Bracers of archery, must attempt to do everything with an arrow, thrown knife, or other projectile if even remotely plausible.

    Cloak of resistance, resists being worn, being taken off

    Magic carpet (ugly)

    Magic carpet, slightly funny smelling, totally not from an extraplanar brothel, loses its power for a week if washed.

    Glasses of true seeing (also everyone’s naked)

    Glasses of ‘true’ seeing (or high tech HUD in a cyberpunk setting), functions as normal, but also projects useful information like phrenology charts, relevant conspiracy theories, the best applicable slurs all in a helpful opaque overlay.

    Container of endless water (gross) theres like chunks of algae and stuff, a little silt, definitely at least brackish.

    Flagon of endless beer (insultingly cheap, but will still get you drunk. Eventually.) Loojs exactly with, and is magically connected to its twin: flagon of endless actual-cat-piss

    boots of haste-functions as normal, but when given the option, you must always choose ‘fast’ over ‘good’, cannot delay actions, etc.

    It is slop though. It lacks interiority, the detail and embellishments and shading methods what is or is not included do not convey information, are meaningless. It is an image without history intention or interiority. It does not draw on complex extant systems of meaning (even a kids show), it dies not help create systems of meaning. It is a throwaway homogenized forgettable hollow sludge mess.

    Maybe thats fine for some things, maybe it’s not, but it’s still slop. Nothing can make it not-slop. Fuvk you, dont talk about art if you dont even understand information.




  • Because you lived in a car centric shit hole with no backbone rail.

    Fucking car brain infrastructure blindness is so reliable. Like you can’t see the massive constant costs of car infra, you think the roads never need repair and fuel just fucking appears, engine repairs aren’t orders of magnitude more expensive than anything else, and there’s no opportunity cost to other modes of transit, but laying an inch of track or cutting bike trails is just so fucking expensive. You are the problem with the world. You are why we have climate change. You are why everything is so fucking shit and everything everyone owns spies on all of us.

    Please stop. Please just fucking stop. You can’t see shit, your experiences are not valid, your instincts are the products of ad campaigns, and you are reliably aggressively spectacularly incorrect in harmful ways. Please stop having opinions, stop voting, stop speaking on any topic you are hostile to the concept of understanding.

    If you’re determined to never think or observe, please defer in matters of reality to those who at least try.
