It's wild the folks who hoard guns to fight the government also lick boots so hard that they'll let their families pointlessly die of thirst when a cop tells them to.

It's exactly what it says on the tin. It's evil. They know it's evil, but they throw up their hands and say, "it is what it is" and engage in evil. The evil has become so banal that it is a matter of course to practice it.
'Lesser evil' is unironically considered good in mainstream media, so I assume a lot of people are falling for this shit.
Siri, generate what a cishet person would design when forced to create an inclusive queer bar.
I catch myself doing that too. At least I look at it from a media criticism lens, but I don't want to ruin someone's time with Pokémon, the Princess Peach game, or the new Zelda because of conversations I want to have about feminism or turning media into slop.
But I do feel bad that younger generations are being fed slop.
Small rant on Pokémon:
spoiler
I feel like the capital G Gamers want to have an M-rated edgy Pokémon, for example,where they can have a waifu or whatever, while I just want gamefreak to talk to 10 year olds like they're smart enough to handle topics like bullying in school if they're going to prominently feature that as part of the plot.
It feels insulting to younger generations that such potential storytelling is missed because the reality is that such writing would offend the sensibilities of those G Gamers. They don't want to talk about animal liberation or systems of power or the myriad things that could be portrayed in a game like Pokémon. They just want their nostalgia slop without politics and that comes at the expense of children.
I remember playing the early games and despite the lack of polish, but the stories got simpler with time with a few exceptions.
But companies like gamefreak go where the money is and that's the status quo.
I'm happy kids can enjoy what they can, and such conversations should be directed at adults and the companies themselves, but I definitely dislike this trend of taking joy from children to heal one's own childhood wounds.
It's really sad. It's like the material conditions making us unable to take care of children has alienated us from children in general.
Like the people who can care for children now either have them unplanned or are wealthy enough to do so and have some of the worst political views.
Then you throw in the way children are already treated like possessions and it gets that much harder to connect with younger generations.
It doesn't make it right, and I want to support the people around me regardless of age, but times are desperate right now and capitalism incentivizes short- sighted selfishness and self preservation.
It makes me really sad because I can see the material conditions for younger generations are so much worse than mine.
I didn't have mass shooter drills or a high school graduation on zoom. I had reliable resources I could access online without as much fear of predation. I didn't witness depressingly clear public executions and climate disasters on my phone and then get told I needed to study more for a job that won't be there.
They don't need the false hope peddled by liberal politicians. They need solidarity from those of us who were where they are right now. Like yeah, shit sucks, but I want them to get through this and hopefully continue to fight for the better world that we know is possible.
If you don't test, you won't get positive test results 
Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Ghost in the Shell - Standalone Complex. My Hero Academia has a good dub, though I'm mixed on the series itself
Please be patient with me
lmao appropriate reaction
Are there chuds who would buy that? Can art majors pay off their student debt in the funniest and most appropriate way possible?
Beyond depravity. At this point if you do the opposite of whatever a cop says or does, you are 100% on the right side of history.
