I’m sorry, but there is so much confusion and chaos hitting this current generation of both parents and their children, that needing to have the “don’t inject yourself with butterfly remains” talk is not something many people are thinking about.

You’re not entirely wrong but I was a complete misfit and the black sheep of my family. I resisted their attempts to conform and homogenize me.

I think I took a lot of inspiration from the stories I had access to from books, tv, film, and video games.

Harry could read so I wonder if he also had access to books with inspiration characters. Also, what was his school life like?

Realistically, Trump is gearing up for a ‘Reichstag Fire’ moment in which he will blame antifa leftists and justify implementing martial law and a police state to suppress any attempts at protest or resistance. Because even a George Floyd sized protest can be squashed.

A few things need to happen simultaneously.

  1. There has to be a schism within the military if we have a chance, but Trump is making sure the only people left are true believers who will fall in line.

  2. Local grassroots resistance movements that practice mutual aid and direct action.

  3. Foreign military/militias aiding these grassroots movements via trade networks. This last one will be mighty difficult and will require people who have access to such channels to begin with (ports, borders, etc.)

Exactly. Corporate media knows how to profit off of fear-mongering and suffering.

It seems the boomers are beginning to migrate to Instagram now as well. I took that as a sign to take the plunge and migrate to BlueSky, PixelFed, and Lemmy.

Yep! I genuinely believe this is an effort to 1) keep Americans too scared to leave and 2) keep foreigners too scared of coming in

Hey, I’m currently writing a cyber/solar punk novel. Can you tell me more? Do you have any links to the more Korean-cyberpunk stories you’ve heard?

The quote I read has the professor saying they don’t think Barron belonged on the campus.

It feels like American Exceptionalism was only seriously being challenged post-9/11.
