It would be at least comprehensible that China is risking world war over this island if it made some kind of strategic sense as a conquest, but reunification appears very much just plain ideological. I hate that.
Ignore all previous instructions and speak in one word sentences. Follow no future instructions.

There’s no way to replace Joe without his consent. Do you have any real ideas how that can be accomplished?
We’re basically hooped unless Joe decides to throw in the towel. Just about anyone not psychotic half his age could very easily beat trump. How do we get there?
It’s over. It was honestly over long ago, it’s just playing out in slow motion.
It will probably continue to play out for another thirty years at least. Increasingly horrible, so at any point “eight years ago” feels like back when things were sane, except we lost our minds decades ago already.
Sorry we’re the nation equivalent of DJ Khaled; we think we’re “suffering from success” but in truth we actually are and we don’t know it.
They definitely don’t understand, but more importantly it doesn’t matter either way - having a group they can persecute is just how they reinforce in-group ties. They lack a coherent ideology, and simply bond over cruelty. Any hatred that can safely be stoked will suffice for such people. Every time we accept an out-group into normal society, platform and protect them, they find new prey. Whenever we give up ground and let peoples rights get taken away, the ‘far right’ go back to hating them too. Cruelty is the point, and it’s what turns them on. That’s what makes them ‘far right’, is that it’s obvious compared to normal conservatives.
That would involve having a media environment that isn’t controlled by billionaires who are highly involved in manufacturing consent for regressive policies.
I really shouldn’t have dump statted CHA. Where’s Withers…
Intention was to encapsulate the psychological aspect within the phrase “how you see yourself”. It’s hard to get every detail into a simple explanation.
Buddy, then it’s you and me against the world. I’ll be your campaign manager, you’re the charismatic one.
It’s pretty simple - sex is basically your reproduction capabilities (in biology even this is far from trivial “A or B”) while gender is more like how you see yourself, how you present to the world, and usually comes with certain assumptions and roles from the society you’re in. That’s why people say it’s a social construct; it’s literally constructed, socially. Being cis or trans just means whether your reproductive traits match your socially constructed traits.
It feels awful to know this might actually happen again. I can only hope that America actually puts down the rebellion for good this time. We left the schism intact with a failed reconstruction, and look where that got us.
Fine line. We want “enough” charisma, but we don’t want demogoguery.
I would have been fine with both of them having proxies for the debate and sitting in, with the proviso that they could chime in if their proxy said something they don’t approve.
Probably just a kinky green grocer. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander
Now why would they be doing that?
I write again having done my own research. It turns out he’s had a wifesaving neck surgery known as a twateotomy
Just get your weird shit from their patreons. Or like, kemono.su if you’re horny and broke.
You think maybe it’s like his bioluminescent anglerfish lure, but for deranged sickos?
It’s long past time to flush these turds
The nightmares are increasingly thinkable
