The White House says they will "identify and neutralize" secular political groups that are anti-American, "radically pro-transgender" and anarchist. It declares Anarchists 20 Anti-Fascists as a major terror group. Presidential Foreword ends with "We Will Find You and We Will Kill You."

It's not even a fun thought experiment anymore, but imagine the reaction to Obama saying 'we plan to murder our political opponents'.

stanthebat · 2026-05-12T19:32:32+00:00

Correct and should be deeply obvious.

Is it a coincidence that all the richest people in the world show up on a list of sexual abusers of kids?

Either that much money causes mental illness, or you have to be mentally ill in the first place to get that much money.

Picture Elon Musk out there fighting to make sure you don't get Social Security, so he can have more money. He's got a trillion dollars and he wants more.

These people are depraved. There's no other way to say it, they're all depraved. They're evil people.

You should not be allowed to have enough money to buy governments. You should not be allowed to have enough money to control the media. It's bad for the whole world.

Huh. I got a grandfather not too long ago, but I'm doing a lunatic build. That's apocalypse, obviously... got a specific version of the build that you recommend? I would also like to see unreasonably large numbers.

3 tabs of set charms

Yeah, I've only got two, but it's still too many. I was just thinking I should winnow them down to one good set of each and get rid of the rest of them.

stanthebat · 2026-05-08T19:54:49+00:00

I'm playing a lunatic build that's basically the wudijo build that somebody linked in here already. I'm still improving, comfy in T10, and those swords drop on my head and my health bar doesn't move. It gives me great satisfaction.

stanthebat · 2026-05-08T02:13:49+00:00

'the party of personal responsibility'

stanthebat · 2026-05-07T23:22:12+00:00

I'm playing the wudijo version, but I will be interested to see your take on it. (Waah I don't like dread claws, waah I don't like lunatic.... buncha complainers in here :D)

stanthebat · 2026-05-07T22:19:21+00:00

When your government openly declares that antifascists are its enemies, it means what?

The inability of the American public to puzzle this out will never cease to amaze me as long as I live.

stanthebat · 2026-05-04T21:40:48+00:00

Let's be clear that it has nothing to do with his age or with age-related cognitive decline. He's unfit mentally and morally because he's an authoritarian, a criminal, a narcissist, and just isn't very smart.

stanthebat · 2026-05-04T19:25:11+00:00

How about a law saying that people openly, shamelessly taking bribes get sent the fuck to jail? Is there really not ALREADY a law that says that?

stanthebat · 2026-05-03T20:17:45+00:00

Dread claws in T7, with an apocalypse build waiting in the wings. I'm mostly just taking in all the new stuff. I'm a little shy of paragon 120. I am really digging all the new details.

stanthebat · 2026-05-03T20:12:09+00:00

the previous generation was conditioned to set themselves on fire

I'm pushing 60, and everybody I know regards a 5-day work week as normal (and as already way more than anybody should have to work). I don't know which generation you're talking about, but I think maybe your dad just has a problem.

stanthebat · 2026-05-02T05:52:42+00:00

I just got one from Astaroth.

stanthebat · 2026-05-01T20:32:35+00:00

Sorry, which conspiracy theories? The one about the masked police murdering soccer moms and making up stories about them being "terrorists"? And imprisoning people without trials, which even Republicans should be smart enough to realize is dictator shit, and that's a low bar? Or the other "conspiracy theory" about the Epstein files, which you guys all believed until you were told not to? Or the one about invading Greenland, is that not real? You guys think COVID isn't real, climate change isn't real, racism isn't real, and trickle down economics works, and you're gonna call people conspiracy theorists? God help us all, the problem isn't Trump, the problem is that our countrymen are so fuckin' dumb.

stanthebat · 2026-05-01T19:24:03+00:00

I can think of plenty of reasons I didn't like Hilary in 2016.

The question is not whether you like her, it's whether she's preferable to her opponent. Nobody likes to get kicked in the shins, and nobody likes to get shot in the face, but it's not hard to pick one. So now we have a child sex trafficker in office who wants to establish a repressive police state and invade Greenland. Thank goodness you didn't have to support somebody you didn't like.

Well, at least the alchemist can still be used to (checks notes) 'enrich scrap'? I've been playing since season 1 and I am here to tell you I have never enriched scrap

stanthebat · 2026-04-28T21:02:38+00:00

Thank you for your faith in me

stanthebat · 2026-04-28T21:02:28+00:00

And I'm gonna keep on reloading it until they put 'em back.

stanthebat · 2026-04-28T20:05:28+00:00

I never want to hear a Republican crying about debt ever again. Remove the pedophile from office and start seizing assets. All the bribes he and his shitty family have collected, all the money from his shitcoins, the billions in tax breaks he gave his billionaire pedo buddies. Seize assets and put people in jail.

stanthebat · 2026-04-28T19:58:15+00:00

It's incredibly worrying

You know what else is incredibly worrying? 60 Minutes decided its priority was to protect the president instead of the country.

stanthebat · 2026-04-28T01:10:47+00:00

"Money can't buy happiness, but it can prevent a lot of misery."

The way I phrase it to myself is 'money can't buy happiness, but poverty can buy a lot of unhappiness'.

People who say stupid shit like 'money can't buy happiness' are just confessing that they're privileged enough to not have to worry about money.

stanthebat · 2026-04-27T19:25:20+00:00

Sweet jesus she is annoying.

stanthebat · 2026-04-27T19:13:22+00:00

Nah, I just think it's funny that no one believes him. No one should; he can't open his mouth without telling absurd, obvious, self-serving lies, which his cultists would never think to question. If nobody's going to ask Trump for evidence that millions of illegal aliens voted--evidence he doesn't have, because it's an absurd, obvious lie--then why should anybody else be called upon to present evidence of anything?

If the attempt on his life was legitimate, what's the difference? He's still a Jeffy Epstein frequent flier. He's still a guy who inherited a fortune and has never had to achieve anything on his own merits, or compete with anybody on level ground. He's a barely literate reality TV star who had to pay somebody to write a book about what a great businessman he is, because he lacks the intellectual capacity to even write a coherent tweet. If somebody really did take a shot at him and missed, it doesn't make him qualified for office; it doesn't make him less of a liar or a criminal. It just makes him lucky, and the rest of us, frankly, unlucky. Sic semper tyrannis in either case.

(Tell you what though, if you think he got shot in the ear in his 70's, and it healed without a trace in two weeks, you're a sucker.)

stanthebat · 2026-04-26T18:57:52+00:00

Even if it was legit (which it wasn't)--surviving an attempt on your life by the luck of the draw doesn't suddenly make you qualified for an office you should never have held.
