Fuck yeah, Bernie. Make'em vote against it. Give Leftists across the country something to primary and campaign on.

From your lips to God's ears, gentle Albertan. I'm out in Ontario and get wildly different takes on how "serious" the Separatist movement is. Some people report is as you say, some say it's "gaining traction". Highly suspect sources go further, claiming the idea is popular. Even screening out Post Media, there are journalists reporting it as a "very real threat due to institutional support in the Premier's office".

I didnt learn much about ICE tactics or anything new about the state of things in MN right now.

What I did learn is that the Marshall family is fucking rad.

I mean, maybe my bar has been lowered to subterranean levels- but at least her local rep said she should have been allowed to stay and offered a private meeting so she could be heard.

RCMP said it was the event organizer, local guy said it was RCMP but it looks obvious to me this was Pollievre's team that was acting shitty. True to form for that jackass.

We know what's going to happen next.

This year Trump is going to either suspend elections, or more likely, send thousands of ICE troops to interfere with voting in cities in purple states. Swing a few statewide elections his way.

In a couple years, assuming he's not dead, his stolen Senate and the cowardly bootlickers in congress will attempt to create legislative cover for this "third term". They don't have the juice to repeal a constitutional amendment but it won't matter. They'll play act at legislating to give Fox News some sound bites and tell everybody Trump deserves a third term because he's the biggest, bestest good boy in the whole world.

The only remaining question is if everyday Americans have enough sense and strength to stop them. Impressed as I am by some of the folks out there now... I doubt it.

I don't know where else to ask this question...or even if I'm formulating this question properly in my rage.

Violence in the streets seems to be inevitable to me at this point with the recent revelation that Minnesota will not be allowed to perform a state-level investigation in to Renee Nicole Good's death. The sheer audacity of the injustice, the inhumanity before, during and after this event, the clear and shameless lying. Now, they are attacking your children. If Americans take this lying down then there truly is no Rubicon, so at this point I'm practically hoping for violence, because how many more dead would the alternative bring? That feels wrong to me, but if no one stands up for these victims, then obviously their number will rise exponentially. But that's not my question.

My question is, when this thing explodes and the violence breaks out. When Trump and his goons do the only thing their limited minds can think of and try to "crack down". When it all goes to fucking shit... then what? Line up on sides like a dodgeball team and States start rebelling like it's 150 years ago? Isolated city-states locked out from Federal support and interference? Trump declares himself President for Life?

It's not weird that those resisting fascism have no solid plan, this is being thrust upon them. It might have been predictable but I can't blame people for not really believing it until folks started dying. But it seems weird that the instigators of this fucking circus don't even seem to be able to tell me what their fucking goal is. Do they honestly think they can create a brutal Christofascist ethno-state out of modern America? That no one will stop them, just because no one has killed them yet? And more insanely, if they do succeed, do they think they'll all live through that attempt?

As ugly as watching the death of an innocent person is, I think honestly the comments on that video under that link are more fucking heinous. So many people just gaslighting, pretending the officer was in danger, like we can't clearly see that's bullshit. A giant "I STAND WITH ICE" picture. People saying she deserves to die for not getting out of the car when ordered. Fuck it man. I know it's not everyone or anything, but Jesus. America is so fucking lost right now.

Worlddata.info - Canada 26th in World Quality of Life index vs. US rank 38 IM Global Wealth News - 10th in quality of life, US not listed U.S. News - 4th overall to US third. Wagecenter.com - Canada has the highest rated standard of living, US not listed in the top 10 UN Happiness report - We've dropped to 18th, vs the US 24th.

It is absolutely not a stretch to say Canada is extremely successful. Perfection is an awful long way off, of course. Costs are up, happiness is down. American influence has caused a rise in right-wing hate groups. But I'll repeat - the more socialist we lean, the better we seem to do.

I'm Canadian and my country is extremely successful. We're also pretty socialist. Obviously socialism isnt a binary, but we have universal Healthcare, strong financial regulations, and a stronger more centralized federal government than the US. We're doing very well, and the elements which cause us the most pain tend to be where we are more like the states, not where we're more like Denmark.

Yeah, I wasn't really clear in my language. I was saying that STS has steered the last 5 years, and might continue to steer it for another 5. I wouldn't say we done with STS still influencing pretty much every other indie title released right now.

Trump agrees with whomever he spoke with last because he's dumb and gullible. Its not shocking in the least.

By tomorrow Miller and Vance will convince him to threaten on his shitty Twitter to bomb New York City and he won't even notice the disconnect.

1. Bioshock - It's essentially perfect, the only downside is I can never play it for the first time again.

2. Inscryption - It's an odd choice, since it's pretty meta, but it's a game that I think about too much to live without.

3. Doom - Purely for historical relevance, which cannot be overstated in this case

4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - I spent an embarrassingly long amount of time going back and forth between this and LTTP, but Ocarina also represents maybe the best year in game development history so it gets the edge.

5. Slay the Spire - Basically the same argument as Doom - this game is a fork point in all development trends for at least 5, maybe 10 years after its release.
