I said in a different post that Harvester asks a question, and Edna and Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes answers that question. It’s common for me to relate stories like this:

Lord of the Flies is Chapter Black, and Bless the Beasts and Children is Chapter White.

Boyfriend Dungeon is what you think if you like the West Coast gig economy. If you dislike it, what you think is Going Under.

Karin is the Law Route of tragic interspecies romance, and Blood and Chocolate is the Chaos Route. The Neutral Route is Yurikuma Arashi.

Cannon God Exaxxion is what Gantz wants to be when it grows up.

TBH, my feelings about “killing fascists will make us safe” were almost entirely shaped by 20 years of “killing terrorists will make us safe.”

Friendless people told us they were unafraid to die, and we treated it as a bluff, and it wasn’t. Dying really was easier for them than going without the social bonding terrorist cells provided. Dying became marketable. They produced propaganda focused around a hero’s journey in which dying was the transformation that ascended you to legend.

Fascists are also willing to bleed and die for the sake of their collective ideal. But what if they had a collective that didn’t want to dispose of them like garbage? So a few people say they want to make friends with the fascists, and then the rest of you all go “that’s stupid. You’re stupid.”

You say “X is real to group Y” as a way of expressing “members of group Y act as if X is real.” What this often means is “members of group Y enforce X to the limits of their power, even on people who don’t think it’s real.” And you think that by endorsing group Y’s ability to dictate “reality” for its subjects, you’re acting against colonialism?

I need to stop reading Arknights blogs. Your politics posts are bad, you should feel bad, and you don’t even understand why Arknights makes writing choices that disagree with your politics.
