power armor actually makes sense in the fallout setting if it’s made to be an anti-insurgency device,
keep canadians from kirking the grunts with small arms–when faced with actual militaries–PLA, NCR, it’s shit. every AP round and anti-tank rifle in a kilometer is finding its way inside that stupid hulk. and it follows you could have a wasteland faction all about it, cause 90% of the inhabitants have civilian grade munitions
affix bayonet. stab the fucker.
look i share the vibe it’s probably not fatal but simple quantity maths are not a viable point of analysis–the position, supply, militancy, and support for that group are much more salient. most coups are carried out by much smaller proportions of the population than 1%.
the yankee is a politically unsophisticated creature but this event has broken down great barriers to political consciousness–whiteness, citizenship. many of them are probably serious, but it’s hard to predict where that energy will go when productive directions are so heavily repressed
truly there is nothing new under the sun lol
the olde roanoke shuffle
redditors keep assuring me so 
americans want direct action but very few are willing to engage in the organizing that makes them possible. the optimistic read is most those folks just don’t know how and there its just the job of the left to loop them in. not on reddit though
they were permanent farming communities, not trade factories. their main/lucrative export was that ivory but they couldn’t trade it frequently with annual or less contact with the metropole. as the climate changed and agriculture got worse, they failed to adapt to hunting for more of their food and they all left or died. it’s unclear exactly when, but from the late 14th to the mid 15th century they were in stark decline.
the 4 ““vikings”” (they arrived in the 1000s, not really monk-reaving raiders) that took the last boat out when their crop stores ran out went to iceland in all likelihood
I’d like a process that attacks Ancient Claims that’s sensitive to the fact that some of them are legitimate
the land claims of colonized peoples are not ancient, and they’re borne of ongoing injustice. we need to be very strict about not allowing cynical asymmetrical analogies to be considered in the same category.
israeli claims are not anything like the klamath wanting their land back which was stolen less than 300 years ago, from a nation that still oppresses them. israeli claims are like a nahua guy showing up to the navajo reservation demanding they give him aztlán
yes, because worshipping wrong means you don’t get to go to the good place when you die, and if you’re teaching people to worship wrong then there’s folks who wont go to heaven cause of you.
when you actually believe this shit (a fairly low proportion of espoused christians, tbh) it’s quite critical to their ideology
such weapons are good for drones as well
really hadnt appreciated helicopters getting so good at countermeasures, guess there’s still aircraft best shot down with flak lol
what ive seen that’s most convincing is trump feels he is owed it; for all his perceived favors to europe they need to give him something back and it’s making him very angry they don’t give it on their own initiative.
exact same thing is going on with the nobel prize, he’s cut out the venezuelan emigré opposition entirely because a woman didn’t facilitate his getting a shiny trophy.
every strategic/economic target of the occupation would be rammed through under danish administration (even an independent greenland wouldnt have much hope opposing it), it’s genuinely just the mad impulse of the emperor guiding the ship
