        I couldn’t tell you when but as someone with a lot of time to browse the internet at work I’ve seen every post that gets to the first 4 pages.

        I see the tweet was 2 weeks ago so probably like immediately after it got posted to Twitter because some of you comrades really hate yourselves and browse other websites

    Tim Walz is Goku, Kamala is Princess Zelda, Donald Trump is the Joker, and they’re going to have a Yu-Gi-Oh! duel to save democracy. I’m an adult.

      You didn’t need to post that.

      Why?

      Why did you post it?

      Hm… It’s too late now to delete it. Now we just have to live with it.

      Tim Walz plays mono-green, Kamala plays Azorius and Trump plays a rakdos chaos deck. Is this what liberals do in place of political analysis?

        Libs all being EDH players checks out because then they can let someone else win while they try and snatch the win out from under them. Then they can blame someone else for when they still lose. They will deny they play a $5,000 turn 3 format.

        Communism is Vintage and Cube with nice proxies.

          As an EDH player the majority of my opponents being libs actually tracks. I’ve seen a Kamala shirt at my SNM games.

          “Communism is Vintage and Cube with proxies” is certainly a new motto on the magic grad.

            I quit the format because I got fed up with the rules committee and their banlist consisting if whatever they lost to the day before. Prices on cards just shooting up and down based on arbitrary bans/unbans. The format being infested with scrubs drove my spike brain bananas.

              Oh yeah, local banlists are cancer. I got super lucky with a proxy-cool LG as I couldn’t afford that shit. I still play Vintage too though; modern and EDH just updated their ban-list actually lmfao.

              I think Urza’s Saga got banned from something but I can’t quite remember.

                Saga and the new anti-zero CMC artifact just got restricted. Grief was banned in both Modern and Legacy. Nadu ate a ban in Modern.

                I’m so jelly you get to play Vintage on paper. We have a lot of Legacy players in my area, but we mostly play between rounds of Limited or Standard/Modern. It’s hard getting people into older formats because they just get intimidated by the sheer amount of decks in those formats.

    implied extrajudicial beating of a child, by adults, under color of authority

    these are the people complaining about “impending fascism” but they have no class analysis so violence to maintain the system doesn’t even register for them

        This doesn’t even make any sense, either. Culturally neither of these people would throw a punch. They’ll call code enforcement on him because his fence is too close to the easement or something then when he’s tearing it out go over to tell him what a shame it was, what a nice fence, who would call code enforcememnt on such a nice fence?

        It’s funny - chuds are open about their violent fantasies and libs sublimate theirs through parasocial family dynamics.

      Grandpa Joe keeps giving weapons to the neighborhood serial killer Benjamin Netanyahu despite everyone begging him to stop. His stockpile of weapons will probably get passed onto Kamala after he is gone, and she’s already said she doesn’t intend to stop giving him weapons, either.

    Why do they always put themselves so close to these people in their fantasies? JD Vance is your bully? Kamala Harris is your aunt (I’m glad they didn’t call her Mom - There are enough sad men out there projecting mother issues onto women) and Tim is your dad?

    They want to be the child of the main character so bad. Too bad they’ll be sacrificed on the altar of capitalism like the rest of us.

      I think it’s related to the same phenomenon where cult of personality devotees refer to their idols by their first name as if they know them personally.

      Sam Harris’ cult did this a while back, and it’s common with ELO~N stans as well.

        I fucking haaaaaaaate this. People do it with the British royal family and I just want to tell them to shut the fuck up Washington should have crossed the Atlantic after the Delaware so he could string that entire group of people up the palace walls. “Harry did this,” “Charles did that,” I don’t fucking care. They’re pedophile apologists, racists, and their crimes are deserving of a thousand years in the worst versions of Hell.

        I didn’t figure out their actual names are “Winchester” until I was like 22 years old.

      I think they’re unable to empathize or relate to experiences or conditions of others without relating it to themselves in some sort of way so they can process it properly. Would match with the inability to conduct a proper analysis of class.

      These people view media and insert themselves in the narrative as another character. They see themselves as another member of the Fellowship of the Ring, or another cape in the Marvel films like they’re Hawkeye’s cousin or whatever. It was only a matter of time before it seeped into politics because political media is an edutainment circus at this stage.

          Yes, he’s one of the objects of “read theory” for righties and supply-side economists.

          But also the idea that “zero pussy makes you a monster” is rape culture, repeating the idea that you can’t be esteemed by others or yourself if you don’t have penetrative sex, and that the only way to keep your humanity is to “get pussy (or dick, depending on your sexuality)”.

          This is why we invented the volcel Cheka.
