How long has it been since they've widely taken strong emphatic stands that aren't in service to fascism or imperialism? Genuine question, because I can't think of a single moment in my lifetime. Even WWII had mainstream detractors. Watergate, maybe?

Not trying to lean into nihilism, but in chess terms they are protected pieces. Can't let them just move however they want tho, and mass action mitigates harm, but they (vance moreso than musk) aren't that vulnerable yet for individual accountability.

We're past the point where people know what they are, the sad part is how many people back it. Even with direct action, the hydra has many heads and we need more willing to fight it and consistently fight it while consistently taking L's to eventually get the W that counts.

Okay but what does holding them accountable look like? Boycott musks products? Doesnt affect Vance.Take their money away? Hard to pull off when we don't have fascism in power. Send em to forever jail? I wish.

The clear shell is a bit weak in some areas on my build tbh, at least with these shell models, I wanna thicken up some areas and add some clearance on some buttons for pfte stabilizers, maybe embed partially tapped threads, maybe size reduction on the buttons.

Imo, biggest pro to the olympia systems (i use v2, but this applies to conversion too) is that if the notches wear out, you can just replace it, and with 3d fab companies you can get them in many materials for cheap. My personal build has metal notched gate and custom rumble bracket

Theres a 3d printable OEM faceplate conversion thats available now. Olympia and CarVac have been really fine tuning the predesigned/parametric versions. This is Lamonsters build. I have heard good things about the sparkplate too tho, and I hope he recoups his money, so def buy one of them too lol

With the proliferation of autonomous and semiautonomous weapons/weapon systems, the amount of consciousless people needed can be greatly reduced. Even moreso if outsourcing the drone pilots and etc.

Oh, nvm, mixed up schools, it's equally shitty tho, it's slang for Confederate soldier

It's related to cigarettes cause Duke University was built off of tobacco

Because hatred spreads more effectively than positivity, and targeted indoctrination attacks onto niche spaces has rippled into the culture of said spaces. For example, gamergate or erin yager fans or k-pop fans

Weak.

I'll die on the hill of joker 2 being good
