  • This is lifted from the novel “Alamut” that the game writers used for inspiration. The novel is about a fictionalized version of the Ismaili, a Muslim group that were referred to as assassins by crusaders because they supposedly used a lot of hash (corruption on “Hashashin”). We don’t know much about these original assassin’s beliefs, because they operated out of a fortress that had its library burned once conquered and so we only know about them through their enemies. The assassins in the book were intended to be an allegorical portrayal of fascists with a very cynical, power hungry leader (this maxim is his own personal philosophy) brainwashing young men to have overwhelming obedience and carry out any violence the leader asked.












  • God, glad this guy is dead. My former roommate used to do fundraising for non-profits and had to deal with the guy often. Munger was a far-right fascist, as you would expect (a lot of sharing viewpoints unprompted that sounded a lot like Musk now). But it was really mind-boggling because during some of the fundraising events the staff and experts would have to meet with donors, so my roommate had to sit back and watch as Munger tried to explain to literal climate scientists, how he figured out that climate change is fake and not happening.
