Imagine how good the Elder Scrolls could be if the writers stopped throwing darts at the Daedric Princes whenever they needed a new villain of the week, or at least remembered that the fundmental distinction between the Daedra and their counterparts is that the Daedra chose not to give of themselves to make Mundus and that as much as they are fascinated by mortals they are, being inextricably tied to their nature, fundamentally alien to mortality.

I personally find them more satisfying as being dangerous because they act in accordance with their sphere without reservation rather than just being slightly reskinned Evil Demon Gods.

Like you kiiiiiind of get that with Hircine but explain to me why the servants of the goddess of night and darkness and luck, for example, are universally malicious and cruel and tormented just because? By all means let them be dangerous and scary but the cartoonish evil-for-its-own-sake is so much more boring than the alternative idea of "The royalty of Oblivion is capricious and considers mortals fun to watch or fuck around with or occasionally use as tools/pawns/champions while they're all busy playing 16 way, 5 dimensional chess with each other for some purpose we do not and likely cannot understand."

You can call me crazy but I firmly believe that podcasts have played a significant role in the downfall of this country

So many dumbass men with microphones spewing their dangerous, misogynistic rhetoric are more easily accessible to younger dumbass men than ever and they eat that shit up and become emboldened by it

I don't believe anything white tumblr queers say about the virtues of 'building community' when they've made it clear 'community' to them means 'me and my white friends.' what are you building? a polycule on a hobby farm?

This is right. If there ever was a real time to begin building an opposition, it is now. This is that moment. The Democrats have had an embarrassing, pathetic loss, trust in them is much lower, and now is the time to organize ourselves as something different. Not as their left wing, but as something new. The only path forward, is for us, not these corrupt ghouls, to behind the work to begin organization-building and shoring up what ones already exist. Victory never came on the back of people's rights being stripped away, but instead when people realized their power, that they can make change. Not a single revolution in history has happened because people were having lower standards of living than before. It is only through our effort, nobody else's, that we can achieve our aims for a socialist movement. Remember this now and forever - We will only achieve victory by exhausting effort.

In short; All under heaven is chaos. The situation is excellent.

Turn your anger and indigence into action. Look into socialist orgs - yes, even the DSA is more worthwhile than dooming. Try and read theory - Understand that Trump is the product of a structure, not an isolated madman. Work hard to keep your fellow trans people's heads out of the gutter - I want a better future but I want us to see this better future together, not apart.

The world significance of the U.S. elections lies not so much in the great increase in the number of Socialist votes as in the far-reaching crisis of the bourgeois parties, in the amazing force with which their decay has been revealed. Lastly, the significance of the elections lies in the unusually clear and striking revelation of bourgeois reformism as a means of combating socialism. [...]

Since the emancipation of the Negroes, the distinction between the two parties has been diminishing. The fight between these two parties has been mainly over the height of customs duties. Their fight has not had any serious importance for the mass of the people. The people have been deceived and diverted from their vital interests by means of spectacular and meaningless duels between the two bourgeois parties.

This so-called bipartisan system prevailing in America and Britain has been one of the most powerful means of preventing the rise of an independent working-class, i.e., genuinely socialist, party.

anyway let me just repeat that donald trump is a fucking softball of an opponent and any dem that loses to him does so because they and their party chose to risk it over giving any concessions to their constituents

In hindsight it was easy to see the Harris campaign was doing an awful job, but it was also easy to say that at the beginning and middle, too.

Utterly fucking insane there were 2 weeks where liberals who couldn't point to Palestine on a map actually liked Kamala and the vibes were there and everyone was posting about Brat Summer and how Vance was a Weird pick and then they immediately trashed this to cater to a voting base that didn't fucking exist

Trump is not a fascist and the US is not going to turn into a fascist dictatorship in the next four years. However, the foundations of fascism have already been laid and exist in any bourgeois democracy. It is important for us to be active and organizing regardless of whether or not fascism is just around the corner, because the material conditions that can lead to fascism are the same ones that can lead to socialist revolution. If we do not put in the work to build our own strength now, if we do not actively support and educate our fellow workers and community members, then we will be overrun once fascism actually arrives.

If you aren't part of a socialist organization yet, then join one. If you don't have one near you, then start one. If you're already part of one, then make sure not to squander what will likely be a surge of momentum for the left. Remember that theory guides practice, but practice refines theory.

so many liberals have a significantly bleaker view of the world than the most nihilsit burn-it-all-down walmart firebombing caricature of a "leftist" you could possibly imagine

sorry i'll stfu and go to work in a moment but it just really bums me out to see irl friends i respect post along the lines of "sick of apathetic men and their man opinions trying to claim that all gay people won't be rounded up and killed tomorrow when we all know they will" like ok thank you for making it clear that in your eyes the way to declare oneself an authentic woman or queer person or to express care for the world and the people in it is to publicly declare that the sky is falling and there's nothing we can do and we all might as well die. personally i am not sure that's a super smart idea but what do you know i guess trying to think clearly makes me evil

liberal political parties will be like "you believe in having principles? that pales in comparison to my strategy, running an effective and competent electoral campaign and appealing to voters" and then run a dog shit political campaign that nobody likes
