      1. engage in dehumanisation
      2. say “won’t someone rid me of these troublesome [outgroup]”
      3. be shocked when someone acts on this and blame [outgroup] for making the world less safe
      4. refuse to apologise when directly called out for stochastic terrorism
      5. wait until the world is up in flames, and then say “I told you feminists would destroy everything with their dyed hair and piercings”.

      This isn’t stochastic terrorism it’s just plain terrorism.

    This should really focus on these as domestic terroristic events and the feckless and uselessness of the Arizona police. If they can’t solve a weekly repeating crime how useful are they really. Maybe some internal investigations are in order.

    Republicans are terrorists.

    Republicans like liz cheney who are actively not terrorists get kicked out of the party for not meeting the entrance requirement.

    This is how things are now. Someone affirms reality and then needs to be relocated so they’re not murdered. Gates affirmed election results. Metrologists mentioning climate change or simply reporting on a hurricane (yes, people threatened to murder meteorologists who didn’t even mention climate change; as though killing them would stop hurricanes). Political offices of parties are shot up until they leave.

    But don’t worry, everything’s fine. All we need is Harris to win. Which is better than not, but, frankly, if Harris wins, I expect rapid and intensifying violence and domestic terror in the United States. I think the best example we might look to purely in terms of action (not motivation) is “The Troubles” in Ireland. Except the US has 65 times the population and more guns than civilians.

    Strap in.

    I honestly believe America needs to cut the shit, pull all of its foreign affairs, troops, operatives, liaisons, etc back home, and deal with shit in-house before they continue trying to be “world police” everywhere else.

    How on earth can there be any faith put towards a country that can’t even keep such blatant and public corruption out of its own politics?

      In Japan there was a game called “Super Famicom Wars”. In that game, you have different armies (red star army, green earth army, ect) and they each have different commanding officers. One of them looks like a 16 bit dollar tree rip off of Bill Gates. He’s named “Billy Gates”.

      They also have an officer named “Hetler”, who looks like a ripoff of Hitler.

      I’m unclear if these were in the original Japanese version, or if the english fan translation did that.
