Second smallest domino - 2008 Subprime Mortgage Collapse
Some middle domino - “But it’s Nic Cage November. We have to watch a Nic Cage movie. We can watch City of Angels. It has that song you like.”
Second biggest domino - COVID-19 Pandemic
Little domino - “Yeah I can totally play Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.”
Big domino - “Our second child is finally asleep, but I think they pooped.”
Getting someone a book they didn’t ask for but they end up loving is such a good feeling.
I mean…you kinda said it there. European fascism can trace its lineage to European Christian kings, empires, and popes. But that’s fascism born of Europe. As others have said fascism has been and is practiced elsewhere and with different religious and cultural influences.
Christo is merely an aesthetic modifier. It tells you what surface level flavor of fascism to expect. Remember that Nazis used language and themes of socialism in their aesthetic as well. It’s why we still refer to them as Nazis and not solely fascists.
Though I understand your point. Why not call a christo-fascist and a Nazi the same thing. You certainly can; no one’s going to stop you. At its core fascism is always the same malignant stage of capitalistic rot. It’s practitioners will use whatever aesthetics they wants. Whatever works. Some may find it useful to describe the aesthetic quality of one fascism to expose its core similarities to other instances of fascism.
After the murder of Michael Brown, body cams were lauded by centrists as a way to prevent police from unlawfully killing people. And there’s never been a single police shoo- oh wait
Lol this guy thinks a socialist society should have a middle class. Realistically they’re a goddamn moron.
Don’t get me wrong; I like the idea, but this is AI generated art trying to pass itself off as human-made.
Even if the artist used AI to assist with the work, it’s pretty sloppy. Look at the teeth, the angle of the background rockets, the weird spaceship on the lapel. At least make it look good if you’re using AI.

The Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained) by Peter F. Hamilton would make a great serialized TV drama.
Very topical. You know… with what’s happening to gamers around the world 😔
You must be surprised every time you watch a mafia movie.
“Wait just a gosh darn minute! They said they were gonna take care of that guy!”
That’s kind of the point. The “high openness” people as mentioned in the article might not think it’s the best art, but concede that someone created it. Ergo it’s art whether you like it or not. The high openness attribute here correlates strongly with left-leaning people.
While low openness people, who are more often than not right-leaning, will categorically not classify it as art.
To right-leaning people there is a binary of “art” and “not art.” Left-leaning people tend to believe art exists on a spectrum.
Take of that what you will, but I think questions like this really just exposes how empathetic people are and what political parties they’re likely to support.
I regret nothing
