2019-09-09 23:47:57 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Personally, I think a healthy blend of Capitalism and Socialism where basic necessities are assured but comfort and luxury must be earned is more or less an ideal system. Wealth is generated by people's desire to get ahead, the well-being and opportunities of the masses is secured by regulations and basic social programs such as free _essential_ healthcare (cancer treatments, necessary surgery, et cetera,) and the economy is independent enough from the government that power does not consolidate in the hands of politicians alone, but regulated enough that the top 1% cannot use their wealth and influence to screw over the average citizen for personal gain. In my mind, the key to a truly free world is a mostly free market with just enough regulation to keep anyone from being able to ever fully control it.

2019-09-09 23:48:58 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Honestly, though, no matter what you do almost any system can be corrupted eventually.

2019-09-09 23:49:59 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I've always thought of myself as decently far to the left, to be honest.

2019-09-09 23:50:19 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

At least on the American left/right scale.

2019-09-09 23:51:42 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I guess. I tend to side with AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and et cetera on most issues.

2019-09-09 23:52:48 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I do wish more right wing politicians shared your stance concerning social politics, Austrian.

2019-09-09 23:54:26 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Well, I think that any system without checks and balances of some kind can eventually fail. Power corrupts, and if power consolidates, that becomes even more true.

2019-09-09 23:54:44 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I agree there, Austrian.

2019-09-09 23:55:19 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Maybe, but it's best to keep it from consolidating too too much.

2019-09-09 23:56:01 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Even a benevolent leader would be unlikely to wield absolute power well. No one can be right all the time.

2019-09-09 23:56:26 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Indeed, power is a very interesting topic.

2019-09-09 23:57:44 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I don't have enough of an education on such things to say anything definitive. I base all my opinions related to such matters on a case-by-case basis.

2019-09-09 23:57:59 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Indeed.

2019-09-09 23:59:35 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I can say one thing with certainty, however; we need to get money out of politics. The way things are now, politicians are often led more by the whims of their donors or fear of the wealth of others being used against them than their ideals.

2019-09-10 00:03:28 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I believe that public opinion should not be tainted by misleading propaganda that gives the wealthy minority a louder voice than everyone else combined. I'd rather the apolitical and uninformed not participate in politics at all than have elections decided by masses of people who only know empty slogans and baseless rhetoric.

2019-09-10 00:04:54 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Being able to buy off politicians and use one's ridiculously vast sums of money to determine the outcome of elections undermines the purpose of democracy, if you ask me.

2019-09-10 00:05:49 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

"Democracy is the worst system of government, aside from all the others."

2019-09-10 00:07:30 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

'Tis why I dislike politics of money and propaganda; elections should be decided by merits, not marketing.

2019-09-10 00:07:57 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Exactly.

2019-09-10 00:10:59 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

That's why democracy is the least worst system; the masses do. But when politics become devoid of substance and instead simply turn into screaming matches and et cetera, the masses' judgment is tainted. I'd rather have the uninformed not care and those who are informed cast their votes based on rational evaluations of each candidate's merit. Instead we're getting closer and closer into turning government into some reality tv drama, 'cept it determines the fates of millions of people.

2019-09-10 00:12:45 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Exactly. If politics are boring and the tabloid/uninformed just don't care, the dull people like you and I can determine the outcome of elections with votes based on policies.

2019-09-10 00:13:34 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

That's one reason why I want Warren to win; you can't get the uninformed masses excited about President Librarian.

2019-09-10 00:14:23 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Also, we need to get propaganda and money out of politics. Do that, and it's a lot harder to radicalize wackos.

2019-09-10 00:14:52 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

^^^^

2019-09-10 00:15:10 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

So we make politics boring to the Dunning Krugers.

2019-09-10 00:16:17 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Obviously, I'm making it simpler than it really is, but that is the basic premise of one of my ideas for getting us away from the politics of drama.

2019-09-10 00:16:42 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I love Kreia. ^-^

2019-09-10 00:17:17 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

In what?

2019-09-10 00:19:19 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Oh. Uhh... I actually find Kreia's philosophy quite interesting, though. She is without a doubt my favorite Star Wars character of all time.

2019-09-10 00:20:21 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Was it the video "The Philosophy of Kreia: A Critical Examination of Star Wars?"

2019-09-10 00:21:45 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Oh neat! You know Dot?

2019-09-10 00:22:13 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

I love that line.

2019-09-10 00:22:32 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Hmmm... I wonder.

2019-09-10 00:22:54 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Anyway, I gotta go, but I'd love to talk some more some other time.

2019-09-10 00:23:30 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

You too.

2019-09-10 03:31:49 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

Black Eagles for the win.

2019-09-10 03:32:05 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

*High fives Edie*

2019-09-10 03:32:10 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

......

2019-09-10 03:32:18 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

*Regrets it immediately*

2019-09-10 03:34:02 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

...Real talk: Fire Emblem Three Houses is the most painful game I have ever played in my life.

2019-09-10 03:34:08 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

My heart...

2019-09-10 03:34:17 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

I can't withstand this four times.

2019-09-10 03:34:41 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

My two favorite characters during my first playthrough? Edelgard and Rhea.

2019-09-10 03:34:53 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

EDELGARD AND FECKING RHEA!

2019-09-10 03:35:31 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

Followed by Flayn, and... I dunno.

2019-09-10 03:35:54 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

I sided with Edelgard, but it still freaking hurts!

2019-09-10 03:36:10 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

And each playthrough will be worse than the last.

2019-09-10 03:36:35 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

Because every time I kill my old classmates, I'll know them better than I did the first time.

2019-09-10 03:36:51 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

FE IS EMOTIONAL SUICIDE

2019-09-10 03:36:56 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

But I love it.

2019-09-10 03:38:42 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

The ultimate question is... who do I kill when I get around to my last playthrough?

2019-09-10 03:39:50 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

I'm thinking everyone in Edelgard's way, but... Ah fuck this; I'mma just burn away the part of my brain that feels remorse.

2019-09-10 03:40:41 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

Fire Emblem Three Houses angst interrupted by hentai makes for quite an amusing chatlog.

2019-09-10 03:41:38 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

Anyway, I'm tired. Goodnight, everyone.

2019-09-10 03:42:20 UTC [Athens #the-temple-of-veethena-nike_general]

Ya probably

2019-09-11 22:47:06 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Edgy humor is fine, in my opinion. What scares me is when I'm not sure people are joking.

2019-09-11 22:58:46 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

See what scares me about that is that I can't tell if it's some kind of edgy humor or actually some weird anti-semitic conspiracy theory involving pewdiepie.

2019-09-11 22:59:21 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

I've seen too many instances of both and they look almost exactly the same at face value, so it's hard as fuck to tell them apart.

2019-09-11 23:01:06 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

^^^

2019-09-11 23:01:38 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

It's also terrifying.

2019-09-12 01:11:08 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]

Let's make this a copypasta, people:
*****Helpless screams of anguish as the Republican Party subverts democracy again by telling Democrats that there won't be any votes during 9/11 and then holding a vote after all the Democrats have left to attend a 9/11 memorial service*****

2019-09-12 01:13:10 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Indeed.

2019-09-12 01:14:48 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

I can't wait until democracy is once again safe and politics are calmer so I can call out such "woke" (they're not when they do that shit) scumbags as those two to my hearts content without fear of justifying atrocities.

2019-09-12 01:16:29 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

I agree that such laws are ineffective. We need _good_ gun control laws, like universal background checks. At least those drive up the price of black market guns so that most psychos can't afford 'em.

2019-09-12 01:17:37 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Ewwwww!!!!

2019-09-12 01:18:30 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

G-Cis, I hope she at least started taking them after the second visit.

2019-09-12 01:20:45 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

@Edelgard von Hresvelg Can you make it Adrestian law that all uses of the word "Jesus" must be replaced with "G-Cis?" (G-Cis is a chord that most people find unsettling.) Also, all uses of the term "Jesus Christ" must be replaced with the words "G-Cis Cries'd."

2019-09-12 01:21:30 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

I don't get how that makes me a live-action role-player. I'm just a nerd.

2019-09-12 01:22:29 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

"Oh, Edie, please save me from Rhea's dungeon!" May as well lean into this.

2019-09-12 01:22:44 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

XD

2019-09-12 01:24:16 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Did she steal your soul?

2019-09-12 01:24:57 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

I heard that's how Edelgard and Lysithea lost the pigment in their hair; they slept with a ginger.

2019-09-12 01:25:35 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

That's also why Lysithea will be dead in five years. Not the second Crest, ginger curse.

2019-09-12 01:25:48 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

XD

2019-09-12 01:27:14 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Real talk, tho; you're my favorite FE3H character by leaps and bounds, Edie. And that's saying something, since the others are pretty damn great. ...Aaaaand I hereby take it all back.

2019-09-12 01:27:47 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Fecking spawn of Kylo and the Sandy Hook shooter.

2019-09-12 01:28:33 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

@Edelgard von Hresvelg Yes, I believe that with all my heart and soul.

2019-09-12 01:28:48 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

MARRY ME, SENPAI~ <3

2019-09-12 01:29:11 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

....Oh my gods.

2019-09-12 01:29:20 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

9/11 is my twin sister.

2019-09-12 01:29:49 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

It was an 11-day birth.

2019-09-12 01:31:29 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

*Grabs fish*

*Hits Edie on head with fish*

2019-09-12 01:31:58 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

This IS fun, Flayn!

2019-09-12 01:32:31 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Now let's go to the McDonalds playground with Seteth.

2019-09-12 01:32:55 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

*And they were never heard from again.*

2019-09-12 01:33:51 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]

Byleth: Fuk dis shit; I'm out.

2019-09-12 01:38:29 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

...So did anyone here about Republicans using a 9/11 memorial service as an opportunity to deceive Democrats into not being present for a vote?

2019-09-12 01:41:46 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

Republicans: There will be no vote today, so you can go ahead and attend the memorial for those who died on 9/11.
Democrats: Okay. Wait - aren't you going?
Republicans: Yeah we'll be right there.
Democrats: 'Kay... *Go to attend* ***9/11 memorial service***
Republicans: SYKE we're voting on legislation nao get rekt ur not here to have a voice haha!

2019-09-12 01:42:45 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

Indeed, but most important is the blatant disregard for democracy shown here.

2019-09-12 01:44:02 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

Everyone complicit in this should be forced to resign and never allowed to serve in public office again, if you ask me. (Though ideally the latter would be through the will of the people never reelecting them.)

2019-09-12 01:44:20 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

I believe it was the senate.

2019-09-12 01:45:18 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

I'm not sure what was being voted on, but it was no doubt important if Republicans would so boldly assault democracy over it.

2019-09-12 01:46:24 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

Exactly. Since 2016, there hasn't even been a pretense of respect for democracy among most Republican lawmakers.

2019-09-12 01:46:45 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

Nor even a shred of human decency.

2019-09-12 01:46:55 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

And definitely not honesty.

2019-09-12 01:48:25 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

Well, wherever it was, it is despicable and yet another example of why we need to show politicians that this kind of conduct will not be accepted in the coming elections.

2019-09-12 01:48:35 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]

It was?
