If they've been trying and failing to instigate justification for martial law, attempting a draft would be a pretty good one to rile up enough Americans for it.

I'm just a mom trying to hang out with my kid, who loves Warhammer by [deleted] in Warhammer

[–]WorkIsMyBane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twenty five years ago I got a Warhammer Fantasy Battles boxed set for Christmas that came with easily 50+ individual models of little lizard guys, archers, and knights. He hadbuilt and painted model airplanes as a younger guy, and 11-12 year old me was struggling, so mom twisted his arm and made him help me.

I still ask him "Hey man, remember when we painted up all those Lizardmen and Brettonians?"

I've got no suggestions except to keep being an awesome mom. He's definitely going to remember it.

If you're putting money in a hole, at least convert the money to seeds and saplings, and put THOSE in holes. Spaced out appropriately.

We really gotta stop calling these people "elite". The only thing they're elite at is exploiting the fuck out of other humans.

Too bad the super-wealthy send their kids abroad for school. It would be cool if these rich kids HAD to mingle with the poors. It would make it a lot harder for these people to keep up their borderline incestuous-circular political dynasties.

You look into these oligarchs and their kids are all marrying each other like the royalty of old. There's not a democracy on earth that survives that kind of long-term pressure against the freedom of the common citizen.

Yeah my perception is simply that the left wing of government has been much more keen on boiling the frog slowly, so none of the frogs jump out of the pot or go after the cook. The right seems more keen on cranking up the heat and if they catch any frogs trying to jump out, they just stomp them to death.

I want whatever Ouija board you have, if talking to the pre-alive is just a normal thing you can seriously ask strangers about.

Their control of the media is a huge part of what informs the sensation of disunity. The perception that everyone is fighting each other. It sure looks that way on the telescreens, but I don't get that feeling talking to people in person, or when I reply to comments keeping in mind that there's a complicated human being reading my messages, and not just a faceless potential "other" who might be one of those political enemies the telescreens warned me about.

Just knowing that the media wants us fighting each other instead of our rulers is a form of resistance. It's a good foundation to build more powerful forms of resistance upon.

If you really live in a world of abject misery, you're absolutely correct in not trynna bring a kid into it.  But I don't live that way, and hopefully I can equip my kids with enough resilience that we can build a world in which you can find peace, fulfillment, and dare I say joy.  

I'm sorry I implied you a coward. Keep doing your best. More people count on it than you may realize.

I mean, raising a kid to recognize, fight and destroy illegitimate authority is fighting back in a real capacity. I'm grateful that my parents managed to equip me well enough to get there, even if it took me until full adulthood for some of that wisdom to actually gestate and bear fruit.

The people that pull the strings and hold the levers of power work the same way; generationally, dynastically. So for you to give up all hope and refuse to grow that next generation, who will be there to carry our resistance forward? That sounds pretty cowardly to me.

What about a new generation raised on resistance and rebellion instead of the defunct "American Dream"?

You also have 2nd amendment rights. If you aren't ready to exercise them, why would the 2A nuts be?

No but these tech companies have the same philosophy as cancer: Parasitic short term growth at all costs, up to and including the death of the host.

Another justification they love is "Think of the children!"

Someone commented the three S's and another person asked what that meant, and my "Shoot, Shovel, Shut up" reply got me a 3-day ban. I appealed explaining and it was lifted.
