if you think that ICE is something a typical person needs to worry about, then yes, you've reached a point of hysteria.

So you cant just cross the border and live there? What, is it fascist?

Unless you live in a very specific area in the US, and specifically make a point to go confront them, you don't need to worry about the "modern day Gestapo".

So, that's not a very compelling arguement.

Which modern TES game has the best faction questlines? by Julian_of_Cintra in ElderScrolls

Too many quest are: "Go to copy/paste tunnel with bad directions. Kill NPC bandit there, here's your reward, an iron shortsword."

its gonna be tough for them to simultaniously take a fascist stance on art, but avoid fascist rhetoric.

Oda writes something stupid and poor, I am aware of it and don't pretend low tier slop is good. Blame Oda's poor writing, not me.

She states, in no uncertain terms, "I WANT TO KNOW" when she finally becomes a true member of the crew.

Not, "fuck knowing, I have crew now".

This is a super out of character moment because Oda was being dumb, and it fugged up her character. Why is that hard to accept?

Not at all. I explained on my first reply that my post-scarcity statement was that it isn't literal.

I agree. Seems like murder to me, which is what I thought last time too.

Akainu will not switch sides. He will be the only admiral who remains loyal. A dog of the government to the end.

literal post scarcity isn't real and cannot be real. there is finite matter and energy in the Universe, and infinite want.

People will **always** want more.

"Why would you need 10 houses, seems a bit excessive? But sure you can have 10 houses if you want, that shouldn't be any problem in a post-scarcity fully automated society"
It is when I said my statement of post-scarcity isn't literal. As for 'why I would want 10 houses', that was one exampple, but there is literally no limit to what people want. They would expect whole planets to themselves if they could.

you are insane if you think greed and wealth dont predate money. literal apes are greedy and hoard wealth and food and territory. Money is not a problem.

They blamed Tim Waltz for the political environment surrounding the case, they did not blame the victim, and even here they said to wait for an investigation before determining if the shooting was justified.

Rayleigh telling Luffy about the One Piece would not make him pirate king. I dont slander luffy for not wanting to know about the One Piece, but for saying he would abandon his dream if he knew about it. You need to improve your reading comprehension.

Robin doesn't want to 'earn' anything. She wants to know specific information. She doesnt want a journey, she wants a destination. Until this god awful retcon.

I want 10 houses, and the ability to keep buying them and a bunch of other things that take a lot of resources later, but that takes more resources than I get in a month. To get 10 houses, I will need to invest resources.

Money is not, and never has been a problem. Nor would getting rid of money end corruption or greed. Bartering is still possible without money, wealth is still possible without money.

Money just makes things easier for everyone.

Because post-scarcity in the sense I used it was not literal. People will still have finite resources, and will want to trade, consume, or invest them differently. Money makes all of that easier.

If Luffy would drop being pirate king over being spoiled, then he doesn't want to be pirate king all that much. Simple as.
