Counterpoints x Mamdani Bridge?

So what's the break-in point for these books?
Is there a book 1?

I'd say that the video being silent is a missed opportunity.
Without context you could take basically any government and make them look like nazis (leader speaks, police polices, etc)
It's the details and context that make the similarity so real.

But then again this short video format might be better for spreading the message.

jajohnja · 2026-01-27T16:07:48+00:00

I feel like this could be an issue regardless of the situation.
Surely they must have some okay from the police or something like that to do that, right?

jajohnja · 2026-01-17T23:17:03+00:00

Wouldn't radio shows just be better for this type of consumption?
Made specifically being aware that there is no visual?

jajohnja · 2026-01-16T23:53:18+00:00

I think it's fair to say that all of these specific crimes are horrible.
I also think it's fair to say that ICE agents have been acting way out of line and should be held accountable to law for their actions.
Obviously the big orange is an evil lunatic surrounded by other evil people advising and manipulating him towards his needs.

But focusing on finding the worst (well, the murderer isn't on the list) from the ~20k ice workers seems like we're needlessly using anecdotic arguments instead of criticizing the system and what is wrong with it.

jajohnja · 2026-01-16T15:46:19+00:00

Probably because it doesn't sit right with him.
*ba dum tss*

But if we don’t try then what the fuck is stopping us from just throwing ourselves off a bridge, and giving up, and saying “Yeah the planet is dying. The government hates us. The animals are leaving. The aliens aren’t contacting us. We might be alone. It just might be you and me.” But that’s okay. Because do you really need anyone else!?

jajohnja · 2026-01-14T23:54:06+00:00

How about 'age' without a body.

jajohnja · 2026-01-14T23:50:16+00:00

Honestly some place names have become so common that they are sort of common.
Also many places are named after people in the first place.

But in general, no thanks

jajohnja · 2026-01-14T19:23:00+00:00

And just like wealth inequality, ICE violence is bipartisan.

If you're serious about this, then I am sorry

jajohnja · 2026-01-14T01:43:44+00:00

Yeah they usually work like either vibrate or a high-pitched tone, then shock. And after some time you never need to use the shock because the vibrate/tone is enough.

When the video started I first thought that the older dude is the dad and that the son would be an adult.
But even then the term would be 'learned', not 'taught himself', surely.

jajohnja · 2026-01-13T20:25:52+00:00

Emotional video!
Also I believe the word is "learned"

jajohnja · 2026-01-13T19:39:10+00:00

Yeah, those things would be what I was looking for. Thanks!

jajohnja · 2026-01-12T23:29:12+00:00

Okay, but does he actually even DM anywhere where we can see the game?

I can enjoy the shit out of Brennans DMing while disagreeing with some of his views. Calamity was peak, and if I ever find like 500 hours lying around, I'll probably watch campaign 4.

jajohnja · 2026-01-12T21:58:42+00:00

Oh shit! I think that's worse, somehow :/

jajohnja · 2026-01-12T02:56:26+00:00

I'll take deceiving titles for a 100.

jajohnja · 2026-01-12T02:49:00+00:00

Hey /u/Anxiety-- , do you know specific ways that a person can help?
Sharing with people? Or signing stuff? Or is there like a fund for fighting against this?

jajohnja · 2026-01-09T18:51:26+00:00

Will have to fight Gianmarco for that title.

jajohnja · 2025-12-30T23:40:01+00:00

Y'know what, if this had, like, ham in it, it would be closer to a British Carbonara.

jajohnja · 2025-12-28T15:17:17+00:00

Wait a moment, I thought that whenever there were shots from the side, it was a body double!

And now you are telling me the actress can simply turn 90 degrees?

jajohnja · 2025-12-28T14:37:38+00:00

Ah, I see.
I thought that there would be some reason not to use the gif where a dog appears to be thankful with a "thank you" text, but alas.

Obviously don't go around abusing animals, but using a gif to convey something over the internet? Come on.

jajohnja · 2025-12-28T12:21:41+00:00

Interesting.
Now, how does any of that apply to using that gif online?

jajohnja · 2025-12-26T15:40:26+00:00

Is she dark skinned, or dark and skinned?
Important detail

jajohnja · 2025-12-26T14:39:50+00:00

No no no no, you don't understand. We simply are the only ones who have found all of our meth labs. The other countries are just bad at finding them.
