    saying “america is devolving into fascism because they’re dumb and immature” is naive and dismissive. The biggest institutions in the world have been pulling strings for decades to get the US citizenship isolated and afraid of each other. It can happen to you. Don’t wave it off.

      It can happen to me and has.

      For now we have no cure for it, rather a trillion-dollar far right propaganda machine churning out mind-control vibes by the minute.

      I wasn’t offering a solution but expressing frustration: It’s only half that we’ve drunk the Flavor-Aid, but also that the human species is intrinsically hot to slam the first glass. The minute the going gets tough, we jump to white supremacy, and so it’s been since the dawn of time (if we track moral codes about cutting the stranger some slack, they go back to Hammurabi in Babylon)

      But feel free to suggest what we should do to put Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro in their place, to get Thiel and Vought out of the White House.

      Heck, I’d consider assassinating Stephen Miller or Leonard Leo if I had half the chance. And they’d deserve it too, figuring largely in the current epidemic of state violence. Not that that would move the needle but a hair, so I only get to wish upon them a Disney death: eaten by hyenas; or stabbed through the heart with the bowsprit of a sailing ship.

      Coincidental as I posted this before the EI12 comment came out, but yeah.

      In this case, the original HCA version depicted her as 12… or so I thought. The Wikipedia page is now claiming she was fifteen when she got the hots for a human boy, though this may be the product of aging her up (much like Daenerys Targaryen from SoIaF to GoT ) since we’re now conscious of the risks of young teens becoming sexually interested or active.

      I might have been confused, or I might be remembering correctly and it changed. Either way, everyone is twelve is a valid hypothesis.
