I've been able to balance both out thankfully.

But the CTRL-Left keeps trying to drag everything into their web of madness

So fucking cut yourself out and sever yourself from their influence. Make it as minimal within your sphere as possible.

I like Battletech, its a game of chess with walking tanks, now the CTRL-Left is hell bent on destroying it so that it matches their political views.

I use Linux. It's the Meta-Left.

Stop using Linux, you masochist.

X3

Mac users can call them Option-Left.

People who like fantasy Sci-fi epics like Doctor Who have had it take over their show. I love Star Wars and now the production company behind Star Wars is over run with these new NAZIs who hate me for wanting an epic space opera not shitty current year propoganda

True, true.

Also, star wars?

I have a force fx black series saber.

I have complaints about the Last Jedi, and when I voice them I am told I am "A russian bot," "A manbaby" "An incel that hates women!" and other shit.

I want good movies to entertain me, not to be insulted for calling out crap.

It's not worth it to engage the comments. Basically, if you don't like the movie, drop your comment, and never look back.

Politics came for me even when I didn't want it to. And it will come for you to.

It does all the time, I just don't give it the power to hurt me.

Why should I have to give up on the things I like because of hatefueled bigots injecting their venom into everything and attacking me all the time? And how much longer before it isn't my hobbies anymore but me myself?

I think that your paranoia is already giving them more power than they will ever have.

My work is under attack, I am a freelance armorer, I do inspections on DIY firearms. There is a bill out there to ban DIY firearms work.

Then defend yourself, but don't be hostile. Be reserved, and you will be more sensible than those who attack you.

As much as I try to reason and rationalize with people I am attacked as a monster for not bowing down to these new-wave "Progressive" NAZIs.

Can you stop crying, you Russian bot?

Geez.

It's getting worse. You can hardly even get a VPN in mainland China anymore.

People treat each other horribly because everything is a liability.

Yes, it's shitty.

I was very close to having my Z visa.

I am not sure I still want to go.

I wish I had 10 years ago.

yea

I think C-Milk is already in CA for good.

Pozzie, too, I think.

i have not kept up with milk but i know he has property up there

What I see in China is similar to what I see in the US: the state has become a cudgel that people wield against each other, which drives people apart, makes them suspicious of each other. Compare this to the MeToo movement and the Mike Pence rule.
