one of the enemy types in days gone is 'anarchists.' they act like any other group of bandits except they make little stone cairns (?). you get missions to kill them by the dozens. often no justification is given, it's apparently supposed to be assumed anarchists deserve death

weird because the main character is an outlaw biker type guy who is supposed to distrust authority and dislike the military, but when a character from the military camp calls him & is like "go wipe out this anarchist camp" he's like grr. darn anarchists. with their darn cairns

sometimes he shouts "you want some anarchy, huh?" when he's shooting them. i think the game thinks 'anarchist' is synonymous with 'violence liker'

oddly there is also an apocalyptic violence-liking cult in the game, which makes the evil anarchists seem kind of redundant

even the wiki is confused

if you think both parties are the same, consider this: [a systemic problem that exists regardless of who is in power]

joke clarification for liberals: this tweet isn't saying that both parties are the same in every regard. thank you

clarification part II: okay so the point of this tweet is that people often argue ineptly against the idea of both parties being the same by misidentifying systemic issues as solely caused by one party. it is not saying both parties are exactly the same (see clarification pt I)

the lib dems are helping brexit. thread

when i complain about the lib dems, i'd like to make clear that i mean the party leadership, not the voters or the local-level campaigners, who i'm sure are mostly fine people who earnestly believe in cancelling brexit

the lib dem leadership, though, is absolutely not helping to stop brexit. whether by incompetence or malice, their actions are working towards making sure that brexit happens. as an ongoing example of this, let's look at canterbury

i encourage people to discuss why political video creators with the most support tend to skew white & male, even on the left. nothing to get defensive about, there. a few thoughts:

a good chunk of it is those societal biases in favour of white male voices that aren't checked at the door. acknowledging something doesn't make it disappear overnight, sadly, even among an audience that would like it to

it's obviously fine to have individual preferences for styles and approaches between creators, but we can't ignore that the sum of these individual preferences adds up to a bias
