Deer Woman, sometimes known as the Deer Lady, is a spirit in Native American mythology whose associations and qualities vary, depending on situation and relationships. Generally, however, to men who have harmed women and children, she is vengeful and murderous and known to lure these men to their deaths. She appears as either a beautiful young woman with deer feet or as a deer.

We’ll get the Cuban Funko Pop Crisis if all the treats are diverted there. That’s treats too close to the US border.

We should all aspire to be more like bees.

Does the new ARMA have a more intuitive UI and control scheme than ARMA 2/3? That’s what keeps me from recommending it instead. Squad is much more streamlined in that regard without losing the depth, like comparing Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld.

This is my favourite shooter, based on the Battlefield 2 mod Project Reality. Everything feels, looks, and sounds realistic. Matches take several hours and have a lot of coordination between specialised squads. The maps are huge and detailed. I’ve played rounds where I only fire a couple bullets and like PUBG it’s so much more thrilling than an arcade shooter with nonstop action.

I like that it’s electrified public transit that doesn’t rely on car infrastructure. If I can’t bike somewhere or take a train/bus, this to me is less destructive than a ground taxi, helicopter, or plane.

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

• Mark Twain

First we must study how colonization works to decivilize the colonizer, to brutalize him in the true sense of the word, to degrade him, to awaken him to buried instincts, to covetousness, violence, race hatred, and moral relativism; and we must show that each time a head is cut off or an eye put out in Vietnam and in France they accept the fact, each time a little girl isremovedd and in France they accept the fact, each time a Madagascan is tortured and in France they accept the fact, civilization acquires another dead weight, a universal regression takes place, a gangrene sets in, a center of infection begins to spread; and that at the end of all these treaties that have been violated, all these lies that have been propagated, all these punitive expeditions that have been tolerated, all these prisoners who have been tied up and interrogated, all these patriots who have been tortured, at the end of all the racial pride that has been encouraged, all the boastfulness that has been displayed, a poison has been instilled into the veins of Europe and, slowly but surely, the continent proceeds toward savagery.

People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind — it’s Nazism, it will pass!” And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.

It’d be hard for me to morally justify killing someone because I’ve never killed someone. It’d be incredibly easy for any democrat to morally justify killing anyone because their hands are drenched in the blood of every non-white child they can find.

That’s from a good video essay about how people are radicalised toward fascism through communities that normalise racist jokes. He was really vindicated with the rise of streamer fascism. That same basic model applies to a website like reddit or twitter where a right-wing audience and algorithm reward you for becoming more right-wing.

They didn’t specify Hexbear or Lemmygrad by name which is the normal course for a radlib from somewhere like lemmy.world when they’re making this kind of post. That to me says they didn’t join an instance like mine where there’s an actual culture of left purity testing. I can all but guarantee they joined lemmy.ml, .world, or one of the other instances that are about as liberal as bluesky and actively recruited during the IPO-era reddit exodus. Reddit is so obscenely reactionary/libertarian that they’d be culture shocked by a lemmy instance where they can’t openly say the most antisocial thing you’ve heard this week and get a little trophy for it.

If anyone says that the general fediverse feed is too radical for them, it’s on them to disprove they’re a Nazi. They might not even consciously consider themselves a Nazi, but they’re going down some pewdiepipeline. The general fediverse feed, and most of the content you’d see on an explicitly radical instance like mine, is so benign if not milquetoast liberal that you shouldn’t feel this kind of opposition to it. Nothing about the instances I generally disagree with would make me want to go back to reddit on a new account. To feel ideological solidarity with but not any part of the fediverse is a huge red flag.

Poor Nazi. Hopefully they felt really unwelcome and unsafe.

so you’ll support a better policy platform, right?

I was a 9/11 truther because there were so many weird coincidences that day, but ultimately had to accept the accident theory. Shit happens.
