I don’t know that the masses can go toe to toe with the US police forces, ICE, and all the Rittenhouse wannabes that come out lookin’ to kill and be acquitted. Maybe, but it’ll be a bloodbath because the violence of ICE has normalized that even unarmed protestors simply protesting (or not) are executable. There’s also the issue that even if you’re not killed, everyone’s a “terrorist” and any act of resistance can be “terrorism”. It would be a lot of John Browns until someone already in power withdrew from federal compliance and used their authority to protect their citizens and city/state. Even then, I don’t think local police forces would comply. Their power is now tied to maintaining conservative power, they’d go rogue before they broke with MAGA. I’d also point out that MAGAts use civil disruption as cover to loot, burn, and cover their own violence both for personal gain and to make the cause look bad.
Until we are united and coordinated enough to make sure we’re not getting slaughtered and played, there’s always malicious compliance, weaponized inefficiency, and some others.

Remember when dude stole a tank and GTA’d San Diego? It’s similar to killdozer guy, the driver was a schmuck who’d fucked up his own life and then went on a rampage, but the video is pretty cool and no one got hurt (except the driver).

We’re going to have to de-Nazify the entire system, from the leaders to the voters. Ban them from holding office, strip their voting rights, destroy the ability for wealthy individuals or special interests to buy politicians. There’s some good ideas at the core of American democracy, but we’ve not only fucked it up, there’s other countries that have come along since our founding and are doing it better. Strip the country to its bones, salvage what worked, fix what didn’t, and toss a lot of the hubris.

I think that the nature of Lemmy attracts people who are drawn to seek out new experiences and alternative lifestyles, so it’s less that psychs are widely popular and more this community has a higher percentage of users. That said, I don’t know anybody that does acid on the regular anymore, it was pretty uncommon when I was a teen, and the people who I know who like to trip (usually hippies, ravers, and punks) are typically doing shrooms. Might also be because I live in shroom country so they’re easy to find and cheap if you have to buy them. Gotta say, a few days in the middle of the backcountry with a dose it nice, I can’t imagine doing it and going to the bar on a weekend.

No, he’s correct. Jesus directly referenced what we know as Easter traditions in the Bible:
“While they were eating, Jesus took a box of Peeps, and when he had given thanks, he broke them apart and gave them to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; they’re honestly not that bad.”

The heroes finds lich Jesus’ stash of nails, but only one is the true phylactery. The boldest knight smites that which he believes it to be, but nothing happens. Lich Jesus grins wickedly and incinerates the knight with a blast of unholy fire. He glances coyly at the other heroes, “He chose… poorly.”

We could bring back the elegance and pageantry of casting them off a cliff as tribute to Poseidon. Maybe ask him to cool down oceanic temperatures a little bit? Could actually work. Not because Poseidon is real, but because we’re eliminating some of the top contributors to climate change.

They are. Mama/dada/papa/nana or similar sounds made with the lips or tongue against the gums are near universal terms for parents across languages because that’s just easy sounds for babies to make early on. We just roll with it and adopted their “words” as the foundation of assigning meanings to a specific sound.

What if the idea that the Grail grants eternal life is a deliberate spin by the Church to turn it into a holy relic, when it’s true nature is that it is lich Jesus’ phylactery? From King Arthur to the Knights Templar, the quest for the Grail has been dedicated warriors seeking to eradicate his source of seeming eternal life. And it can only be destroyed with the weapon that destroyed his first corporeal form, the Spear of Destiny.

The rabbit/hare as a fertility symbol is a pretty frequent one across a lot of cultures, kinda like solar deities with solstice holidays. The cult of Ishtar died out in the 600s, the first mention of a tradition of an egg laying hare in connection with the Christian holiday is specifically from Germany a thousand years later.
- Comment on LEARN THE TRUTH 1 week ago:
The bunny is primarily a German tradition. It became prevalent in the US because of the high volume German immigrants. However, the bunny was already spreading throughout the Hapsburg Monarchy prior to America exporting its version. Decorating eggs is also a Slovenian tradition that came to prominence when what would be become the US was still just colonies. Not a lot of pop culture getting shipped back to Europe back then.

I hope so, but I haven’t seen it disproven yet. Dude in my neighborhood has one of a cartoon Trump at the beach surrounded by bikini girls that are not quite kids but definitely implied that says “Chillin’ Like a Felon”, so the sentiment exists and them grifting pro-pedo merch seems like the logical next step.
