“If you think Palestinians should be given most/all of their land back, then you must think all Native Americans deserve most/all of American land back?”
pros of slow burn found family: getting to watch a group of characters become adjusted to having certain people in their lives (sometimes without even realizing it), immensely satisfying to see the characters actually start to grow and depend on each other, knowledge that platonic relationships present will likely necessarily be centered and respected, generally delightful to read or write
“I’m not really necessarily a person who buys into the idea that you playing this game makes you a terrible transphobe. But here’s what I will say.
[...] when things do indeed start getting really bad for transgender people, a lot of people are going to prefer being entertained over standing up for their transgender neighbors.”
That’s all to the good, but there’s a more critical matter that’s going uncovered. The rise of unqualified-to-serve politicians in Congress, such as Tommy Tuberville—who couldn’t beat Vanderbilt as head football coach at Auburn or name the three branches of government—or potentially Walker, if elected, is also a serious attack on democracy.
People who don’t believe in government are stacking that government with politicians, who at best, boast about not even having the slightest clue about the basics of their job or public policy, and who, at worst, think of public service as the most effective tool for grifting and trolling. Furthermore, this phenomenon has arrived at a moment in which the ability of the political press to provide a check on this slide into illiberalism has atrophied. For too many reporters clustered inside the Beltway, the emergence of comically unqualified candidates—or outright QAnon-pilled seditionists—is just one more interesting moment in American politics; the fuel for bemusement, rather than a clanging alarm.
