Is that… 5 AC10’s in CT? Or a really weird looking RAC20?

Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.
That mentality is surely broader than fascism itself. You see it in any hypernationalist state. Rome had “the barbarians.” The British Empire had “the savages.” Nazi Germany had “the jews.” There is always an “other” when the state needs it. Unless you’re painting a broader form of fascism, perhaps.
Glue-Extractor™
That’s what you’re hung up on? There’s a whole subgenre of sharks with tits.
There’s an art to it. I’ve read books where the villain wins only for it to be revealed that the protagonist was fighting for the wrong side. The only one who’s title comes to mind is Columbus Day, where humans team up with aliens to fight other aliens that invade earth, only to realize that they joined the “fascist-leaning” side of the conflict as a species-wide pawn.
Let’s take a page from Helldivers and call it “Managed Capitalism.” Surely far better than rootstock /s
It’s not a bad counterargument to that claim, we’ve just moved so far past that into the cost-benefit-analysis stage. The cost to keep the 2nd ammendment as it is is pretty fucking high.
Maybe publishing houses will never get the memo, but the Helldivers team knew to make a fun game first, and THEN added amazing graphics. If the market prooves they prefer that dev cycle ethos, it will bring change.
I like Neil… He’s asbergers as fuck but I always liked his passion and the way he explains things with energy and without making the question asker feel like an idiot.
Religious makeup
It’s more to the point that tasks are easier for neurotypical people to accomplish because the world was built for their minds. Neurodivergent people have to build up skills and workarounds for functions that seem to come naturally to NTs, eventually creating a mosaic of little crutches and scripts to follow in order to fit in or even function at all in modern society.
NDs don’t have “the box.” NTs are born with “the box.” Society says you must stand on the box (that it’s assumed everyone has inherently) in order to participate. So the ND makes their box out of the many tiny tools and workarounds they build to “stand on the box” that they don’t have.
I now explicitly trust this writer and take his word as gospel.
This, dear children, is called “blasphemy,” and you used to be burned at the stake for it. But God’s just such a swell guy that our dear Fuher Carrot Man is exempt because he’s just that cool.
Human fiction itself may become self-fulfilling prophesy…
Defense or Prosecution?
This. It’s an entire generation who seems to be forming the antithesis of nationalism by sharing an identity of 2 nationalities in one union, and identifying with other children in the EU from entirely different dual-culture backgrounds.
China shows it’s fear of “lesser nations” daily. Trust me, Pacifica is watching very closely.
Sci Fi is a flavor of fantasy that favors grounded explainations over magic, yet can’t escape it entirely. In order for something to be sci fi, it must have something in it that can be percieved as “magical,” even in the “sufficiently advanced technology” sense of the word. Jump/warp tech, laser weapons, space warfare in general, most life support concepts, AGI… All magic as far as we know now. Any sci fi without the roots of fantasy is really just modern fiction.
Schrodinger’s remake. It is neither in production, nor canceled, until its release.
