      The french revolution was bloody. Today the whole world celebrates July 14th, the day a cheering crowd walked the head of the governor of Bastille on a pike.

      Go figure.

        Something I’ve been thinking about recently is how it seems that MOST national anthems celebrate a bloody war in some way, shape, or form, because that’s pretty much what it always takes to escape from oppressors, is violent fighting back

      There isn’t always a disco option in life. Sometimes conflict is inherent and pacifism is just quiet complicity.

      Oh, I almost forgot… For legal purposes I’m discussing Minecraft.

        I hope that all these greedy gold-spewing swines get to die miserably one day

        Maybe I’m being extreme, but that’s my take on nether piglins.

      When somebody dies from an insurance company, it’s sad, but it’s the system working at usual. US society at large has decided that’s acceptable. Even if you’re opposed to it, it isn’t a transgression of norms. Assassination is.
