Collectively most of the nation is no longer capable of empathy. To me this is the biggest single problem for the USA now.

Like, sure you might not agree with the kids take on gun control, but it should be pretty simple to realize how someone who had their friends violently murdered might have a different point of view on the topic and feel that they should be able to voice their opinions, concern on that subject.

Imo that's the end result of neoliberal / cyberpunk / whatever it is we're living in social policy. Political and moral authorities just hammer home in every facet of life that the proper response to someone being in trouble / pain is welp sucks to be you. The most powerful country in the world can't be expected to provide welfare or healthcare, firms can't be expected to provide sick leave, billionaires can't be expected to pay taxes so how can a guy be expected to accept restrictions to his gun hobby so school kids maybe don't get shot at as much. Expecting anything but a gently caress you is entitlement.

Wait, Barron Trump plays Paradox games? I don't know how I feel about that, EUIV and CK2 are great games :confused:

The idea of a personality shaped in equal parts by CK2 and The Donald is loving terrifying

I'm kinda worried about the dementia-addled idiot that gets to decide whether and what to bomb in the international relations powderkeg of Syria also being desperate and angry.

I'd say who the hell ever asks if people wears shoes somewhere but then I remembered a guy in the chow line commenting on a woman saying that "she had all her teeth and everything" in a very enthusiastic voice

Poland is getting uhhhh (more in the twitter thread)

You would think Poland of all countries would hate nazism

I don't even know what they have to Nazi about. They have no Muslims, no Jews, no territorial claims afaik, so wtf do you do as a Polish Nazi after you've come into power? Just march up and down the square, forever?

Although if they want to annex eastern Germany I would be extremely okay with that.
