This sort of thinking is just one part doomerism and one part scapegoating the increasingly online nature of communities for the rise of fascism. Sure social media had its problems. It also helped us learn how to talk to people and quite literally saved our life. Do NOT tell me posting is useless

It’s funny cause people tell me *all the time* how they’ve learned from me and found community through my posts and been uplifted and connected to others and gotten tools to recognize and fight hate and felt less alone in the world. But I guess fuck that right? I’m not accomplishing anything.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

One thing that strikes me as particularly sad is that despite Disco Elysium being the most unique and disruptive thing to the game industry since Undertale, nobody has ever tried to do something similar. Usually people are all over that in interesting and disruptive games, but not here.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

We once said that the advantage of the Dems is time, they are going toward fascism more slowly, and at the time it was true. However, with the shit in Palestine and the protests forcing capital's hand, that difference is shrinking FAR too much. It's still there, but FAR too small to matter.

So Biden called in old favors and went to ridiculous lengths not to do a Democratic Primary; then he dropped the ball on what's happening in Palestine in the hugest way, and his health is rapidly failing him? And, electorally speaking, THIS is our last line of defense against Christofascism?

Agreed. Overwatch managed to beat Bioshock of all things in terms of games where many people who don't normally like FPS games were inclined to play it to see what it was about.

Actiblizzion had a good thing going, the game did so well it disrupted and put an end to the Modern Warfare shooter paradigm, and was particularly popular with LGBT+ folks. Then they shit the bed so hard they prolapsed themselves and ruined it.

LRS: That sums up the disconnect as to why some folks insist that slurs "aren't that bad." They think it's more about hurt feelings and insults then it is about reinforcing systemic patterns of oppression by giving validation to their use as a shorthand insult.

When we talk about harms of ableism, this is one of the things we mean. People use terms like "hurt feelings" and "offended" and that's not it. It's the way the attitudes represented and reinforced by the imagery and/or language choices turn up in behaviors and policies.

I know that reactionaries weird aversion to "degenerate" art was a historical coincidence. Art had undergone a shift toward different styles that oldheads didn't like, and the timing just happened to coincide with the Oktober revolution, so they blamed it on communism despite no connection.

"Classic" comic book art, especially the inking - black lines, hatching to indicate form and shadow, etc - exists because the printing process used back then couldn't reproduce anything more subtle. Printing quality has vastly improved but lots of the same techniques are still used.

Nearly all the French post-impressionists were anarchists. And a lot of them watched the military massacre tens of thousands of civilians during the fall of the Paris Commune in 1871. Many of them were young children at the time.
