    In Sid Meiers Civilization, a cheap and effective mechanism of weakening your enemies is partisan violence. Empowering the vocal minority is US foreign policy 101. Why is it so hard to imagine the same happening to America.

    This fool is afraid of fucking EVERYTHING. weird.

    This is 100% my mom. She will brag about her guns and how tough she is, but at the end of the day she’s terrified of everything.

    It definitely affected my childhood because she didn’t want me to do anything because the world is scary and I might get hurt.

    My dad was drafted into Vietnam at 19, so once I went to university he was like ‘this is stupid’ and would send me money to pay for things like flying lessons because a) he had been a pilot and wanted me to do it, and b) he was sick of her rules.

    So his outlook was pretty much I was doing this thing at your age, you’re old enough to live your life, you’re smart enough to make (mostly) the right decisions, and when you don’t, you need to learn life lessons if you want to grow and survive as an adult in the real world.

    My Dad was awesome and I miss him a lot. Thursday will mark 15 years. Sorry, this is off topic, and TLDR growing up with these people as parents sucks.

    He also fears non-cis people, Anarchists, leftists, centrists, neoliberals (a right wing ideology), being paid a fair wage, worker ran economies, Unions, civil liberties, peace, countries defending their national sovereignty, Neurodivergant people, disabled people, most Europeans (as in people that live in Europe), native Americans, Asians, South Americans, Central Americans, and most likely if applicable his own children (who most likely despise him).

    If only we could get them to be less afraid of everything that they’re unfamiliar with, or familiar with everything they’re afraid of, maybe they would lash out in fear less.

      That’s a bandana. It’s open from the bottom to allow him access to life-affirming COVID-19 particles.

      What really upsets me is the bare arms, which are defenseless in the event of a vaccination assault by the local far-left antifa immunologist community.

        Some of them want all the Scovilles, because it proves what a macho manly man they are. There’s no in-between, though. You have either “This mint is too spicy” or “I want this hot sauce to put me in the ER”.

      What’s funny about all that “I don’t do pronouns” absurdity is that they don’t realize how ignorant it makes them look. I mean, they use pronouns all the time.

        Misgender them once and see how fast they decide pronouns are important after all.

          My favorite is to start using they/them after they declare they don’t use pronouns. Gets them FUMING cause most of the time they know if they correct you they’re fucked
