Don’t do the Enclave dirty like that, they had actual military staff as a solid chunk of their original population, problem is they kinda went nuts after the nukes went off. Ignoring 76 for a moment it’s kinda implied that the upper echelons on the rig started to go insane a couple decades in possible after the OG population were either dead or elderly. Also they produced Sergeant Arch Dornan which if he is any indication implies they had some level of original military culture at least by Fallout 2.

Hell even accounting for 76 if memory serves right it was the actual military elements who put a stop to the traditional Nazi style Enclave bullshit. Mind you that’s after fucking everything up but hey damage control.

9/10 I’m pro union. This falls under that 1/10 where I’m not. Frankly speaking data centers shouldn’t even be a factor given how much infrastructure alone in the US needs to be more or less ripped up and replaced not even getting into things that’d fall under quality of life like putting awnings with solar over parking lots or some shit.

States need to start spinning up their own postal services either together or individually to avoid shit like this and to circumnavigate any other fuckery, IE Trump attacking mailed medicine because of trans folks or something equally vindictively stupid. Pretty hard for the feds to fuck with something entirely controlled by the states with no federal oversight, bonus points in that you could probably build it better and choke out the postal service if they continue to act horrid.

Also can we just get rid of publicly traded stocks as well. That shit makes Capitalism explicitly worse and I’m like 90 percent sure it actively would corrupt any system it’s present in at this point.

If you want to sell stocks for mining expeditions for example then fine, but the company should be dissolved afterwards or otherwise take the total financial damages for failure.

Honestly at this point other countries need to bite the bullet and issue total embargos on American goods, services, and flights IMO. At least until Trump is dead or out of power.

The thing I find annoying is that none of them are of the opinion that we should outlaw health insurance companies and put price controls on medicine and services which would probably be unironically cheaper for everyone at this point as well.

Personally I will judge your tattoos depending on context, looking at you folks with fucking Harry Potter tattoos and fugly ass attempts to do a face. Also piercings irk me on an instinctual level, my brain registers them as injuries and I want to correct them this also applies to earrings, my solution is to avoid looking at them.

Unironically shit like this should get his ranch burned down, pissy bitch should be thankful he isn’t chopped up rotting in some abandoned mine shaft.

Id argue that for a lot of them they effectively were forced by economics, misinformation, and propaganda. The thing is a lot of these guys got in at 18 because it’s the only way out of a bad situation, hell I was almost tempted to do it as well though I’m too introspective and autistic to think it wouldn’t be a waste of time. But yeah a lot of these guys are distinctly missing the informed side of the informed consent concept IMO.

Used to a couple years ago, but my current poison is Rimworld and CK3 the mod AtE. Also it’s mostly not my cup of tea will usually choose to play Fallout or more modern CRPGs unless I’m already burnt out on those but still in a CRPG kick.

You’re assuming these people are smart. The thing is I’m pretty sure they are basically incapable of deviating from whatever plans or strategies they cooked up ages ago so now they just double down till it either fails or works. Pretty sure that’s what happened with Iran for example, it was probably an old plan that had been sitting around for decades that maybe could’ve worked then but was left shelved until it became worthless, kinda like the Schlieffen plan during WW1.

Also I just realized your profile pic is the Neverwinter Nights logo.

Hell I hit it at 8. Mind you it may have been a stress response to my whole fucken existence at the time but it hit like a truck regardless. Had a shitty little stache at 12.

It isn’t too odd when you think about it, Alan Moor and I both read 1984 which places a good bit of focus on propaganda and methods of control. Makes sense that two people pulling from the same source will come to similar conclusions, even if Moor was writing on the aftermath of an isolationist fascistic regime while I’m planning on how to blow the kneecaps out of one before it becomes fully entrenched.

Also I have only consumed V for Vendetta comic break downs but I have listened to an audio comic drama of watchman and watched the movie and yeah I agree with Moor fuck most of the adaptations of his works, The Justice League adaptation gets a pass though.

This is also why I think the more immediate goal of Democrats and progressives is to attack the right wing propaganda vectors. If those collapse even if it’s just say talk radio, tv, and maybe Facebook it’ll destroy a lot of the transmission capabilities and people will more likely make decisions based on their actual baseline personalities.

As for how to destroy them, I say just blow out their business models. Ban their ability to advertise and collect data.

Note the term titans of industry dates back to the gilded age and predates Rand, which is honestly quite a bit worse.

Hey now us hicks don’t deserve to be thrown in with this white trash, most of us just want to be left alone in our hills and occasionally kill an insolent yuppie who wants to gentrify things.

Honestly I don’t even think the US will exist in 10 years, at least not to it’s current extent.

Would you count balkanization or more general societal failure under folks in the US doing something or no? Cause I could definitely see folks chucking politicians and whatnot at the hague to earn good international favor, assuming they don’t just get killed outright.

Historical anachronism it would’ve been a 1911, Webley revolver, Soviet Nagant, or whatever the fuck the French had look I don’t know French guns.

Honestly if it’s done through actually helping people it’s fine, the thing is though that the end goal should be to bring in disaffected folks who aren’t directly aligned with either party and shore up existing voters. Going for Republicans is broadly a lost cause unless steps are taken to shit can their propaganda networks so ideological drift can cause regional base splitting.
