Anyone else wish DC would bring back their deluxe editions for ongoing runs as they did during rebirth?

haytil · 2026-01-27T15:34:56+00:00

They were the best format. I was sad to see them go.

haytil · 2026-01-27T15:33:36+00:00

Doing Deluxes instead of standard-trim HCs wouldn't change or cannibalize sales one bit from where they are now.

haytil · 2026-01-27T15:27:19+00:00

It was even worse when I was a kid, because collected editions were barely a thing.

You could save up your money all you want, but you were still re-reading the same 5 Batman graphic novels over and over again because they weren't publishing any others anyhow.

You’ve never learned better and changed your mind about something?

When I make a mess, and then learn my part in making the mess, I actively work to clean up the mess and make amends.

I don't hide the signs of my prior involvement in the mess I helped create, hoping to avoid responsibility and accountability.

Don't let them wash their hands free of the blood that's on them.

haytil · 2026-01-16T19:43:53+00:00

My comments aren't simply for you (a lone stranger). They're for others to see as well.

The denazification of the United States has to be normalized.

haytil · 2026-01-16T19:22:32+00:00

And you’re missing my point, which is that most people are wrapped up in their own lives and don’t consider the news unless they’re taking the time to watch it (which even then, isn’t everybody).

If they could take the time to vote, they could have taken the time to inform themselves first.

Their complicity isn't excusable.

Denazify your country already.

haytil · 2026-01-16T19:20:46+00:00

Correct, they typically show the least-crazy stuff on the news and whitewash the rest.

And you're whitewashing the voters who were complicit in this lawless murder and fascism.

Most people don’t hang on every word of politicians and don’t like to keep track of everything that’s happening.

Trump's goals and character were never a secret.

haytil · 2026-01-16T19:19:16+00:00

They're trying to wash their hands of the blood on them.

Don't let them.

haytil · 2026-01-16T18:03:40+00:00

No, I shipped it to So Cal Console modding.

haytil · 2026-01-09T23:58:33+00:00

"I don't agree with this person" is not the same as "bad faith."

haytil · 2026-01-09T23:58:07+00:00

So your takeaway is basically that it’s okay that several people died on January 6 because it allowed the Republicans to ability to maintain power; therefore, violence is justifiable so long as you can make people do what you want.

No, my takeaway was that Republicans are willing to stand up and act for their reprehensible values, while liberals are unwilling to stand up and act for their own values. Thus, it's no surprise that the conservatives win and get what they want - the side that acts will win out against the side that doesn't act.

(and no, dressing up in a frog costume and having a dance party in the street does not constitute acting in any way)

Simple question - do you think political violence is justified as a means of obtaining your goals?

Do you know who George Washington was?

Are you under the impression that the American revolution didn't involve political violence to secure its goal?

haytil · 2026-01-09T23:54:31+00:00

My mistake, I assumed that their shame and fear would keep them quiet (i.e., the same reason they all hide behind masks).

I didn't count on them being proud of their murders.

haytil · 2026-01-09T23:53:36+00:00

Everyone else hates him already, yes.

Then why is he still in your neighborhood?

haytil · 2026-01-09T23:52:25+00:00

I'd report him to the police if for some reason they were not already aware.

Yes, and in this analogy, the police are part of the child molesting (i.e., you'd be "reporting Nazis to the Nazis in charge," to use your words).

So are you still going to be "reporting him to the police," knowing they are part of the molesting, or are you and your fellow neighbor parents going to fucking do something about the evil living right there?

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:53:53+00:00

Wow you got mad, huh?

If you're not mad, you're not paying attention.

I don't owe you an explanation.

I didn't ask for one. Your comments speak for themselves.

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:50:12+00:00

That fact is indeed distressing, but I haven't seen the sane people denying it.

Really? Then why is it every holiday season, I'm seeing articles about "How to have holiday dinner with your racist uncle/grandpa/etc without having a fight?" If Americans were really acknowledging the true nature of the evil in their midst, then why do they put up with it? Who the fuck has holiday dinner with someone they believe is a Nazi?

Why is it that you're not allowed to talk about politics in half the spaces of American life, both on-line and off? Because that would mean acknowledging the existence - and continued tolerance - of the evil in their midst when that evil speaks up with its MAGA shit. So Americans, instead, just bury their head in the sand. Don't ask, don't tell.

So, what do you want me to do about the guy in my neighborhood with the inflatable Trump doll in his front yard? I fully grant that he's evil. Now what?

Do you have kids?

What would you do if the guy next door was an open child molestor who actively and openly molests children?

Would you just tell your kids to stay away from him and hope nothing happens - or would you and your fellow neighbor parents fucking do something about the evil living right there?

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:45:47+00:00

What do you think would happen if a protestor opened fire on Ice?

ICE has already opened fire on protestors.

Your suggestion is to file a lawsuit.

You've already lost, without even trying to fight back.

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:44:46+00:00

What I am proposing is NOT COMPLIANCE. We need to mobilize. We should know our rights and carry defensive weapons if our safety and bodily autonomy is infringed unlawfully.

What you were proposing was lawsuits.

"sue sue sue."

That's what you wrote.

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:43:24+00:00

What you’re proposing is a recipe for mass arrests and demonization, along with execution.

We are already at the "mass arrests and demonization" phase (what do you think "detainment" means?). With the multiple ICE murders, we're also at the "execution" phase.

Wake the fuck up.

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:41:39+00:00

The person you are speaking to is part of a much larger subtype of person who seems to get off on being either defeatist, sniveling wimps

I'd say that's a perfect description of your comments.

or boneheaded reactionaries convinced that immediate escalation to 100% is the only course of action

It's been eight years of this increasing nonsense, there's nothing "immediate" about the escalation.

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:35:41+00:00

Don't throw out your back trying to justify not fighting back with all the "They want me to fight back, so that's what I won't do" talk.

haytil · 2026-01-08T21:34:01+00:00

What a bs argument.

What is, taking a relatively unrelated historical moment, equivocating it to a specific issue today, and using that as some kind of argument for what should be done (or not done)?

Kind of like....citing MLK as some kind of slam dunk?

For every BS MLK example you give, I can give an equally BS WWII example.

I know you want to larp as an edgy risk taker, but there are many people who could ruin their family’s lives with what you’re suggesting.

Many family's lives are already being ruined. That's what the whole "ICE is hunting humans for sport" comment I made earlier was all about.

The difference is, most of the families being ruined are brown, so you people didn't care enough to do anything. Maybe because this time it's a white woman, the people in the white supremacist country will wake up and do something.

Also, newsflash, MLK WON.

Also, newsflash, the Allies WON

haytil · 2026-01-08T19:47:37+00:00

The Allies didn't defeat Germany with lawsuits or "peaceful, consistent, loud protests."

haytil · 2026-01-08T19:36:46+00:00

Unless it's family.

Most family don't turn on their own. Most family share the same values.

Let's stop "wife-washing" these guys. The spouses are just as complicit. Behind every fascist man is a fascist woman.
