America's obsession with its military and, by extension, 'democratizing' countries is very similar to that of Ancient Rome and how it went about 'civilizing' other cultures.

Which is to say, we have yet to find a Caesar to march on Washington.

I think echo chamber is the wring word here so much as humans naturally gravitate into communities and tribes.

In fact, that was the exact appeal of reddit and Lemmy now. People could foster communities and find likeminded people.

Survival by the numbers exceeds the fittest.

One advantage Lemmy has for now is that it isn't under the same corporatisation Reddit fell under.... for now.

How Covid didn't end with a modern Black Plague incident in the US is beyond me.

And DAMMIT EVEN THE EVENT MOCKS ME!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S ONLY THE OTHER TWO?! NASU, DID YOU RIG THE SLOT MACHINE YOU MUSHROOM!!!

Now I headcanon that the Master just printed Aozaki into a Foreigner shell when she wasn't looking.

The problem behind this logic is that you will eventually have to contend with identity politics because without a visible structure for worship, people will inevitably begin to organise in secret and decentralise. Decentralised religion is worse and that's how you create cults like the Nation of Islam and Klu Klux Klan who have nothing to do with the religions they originate from.

Then, there is the problem that every human is influenced by a set of beliefs or experiences that they are exposed to growing up. If they see and observe that the government is the sole power of the realm, then they will be incentivised to pursue and claim that seat of power if given the opportunity arises, and doing so knowingly means they are beholden to no law or people beneath their station.

The lack of oppression, there are people who got too comfortable with the illusion of power. Hence, they have to generate misery while they still can.

The Kara No Kyoukai anthology influenced my imagination and how I view my inner world of art.

The perfect blend between minimalist, simple yet elegant design that is set in an urban setting.

MA! NEW ACE COMBAT BOSS JUST DROPPED!!

Flat Earthers and anti-vaxxers really put into perspective the sorts of people the Scriptures talk about who are the same equivalent morons.

That being, people who are often dumb enough to get themselves annihilated despite ALL the evidence and warnings sent.

Sarcasm: That's anti-profit! The shareholder nobility will starve!

Where's the bisexual badass who comes in to save the day?

Peak Human experience. That's an unnamed brother for life.
