Rogue Trader which it was based on was a parody yes had a lot of references to politicians or political doctrine at the time. It evolved over the editions as it gained popularity, especially outside the UK. The parody now is much darker in tone, less comedic or silly. The problem is they started to realize how cool the setting was as they developed it and took out even more of that satirical bite. There's some satire still but it's not as on the nose now.
Was going to post, there was a time in history left handed people were considered odd and unacceptable so they would often be abused into right handed. Especially in religious ran schools. So Ned is probably old enough to have the wonderful yardstick across the knuckles treatment.
Yup, it's not a small scale operation, this is "Illuminati" levels of an operation. I hate to give them legitimacy, but there is a secret cabal of prominent figures, political, financial, and some religious pushing an agenda.
I was conned into going into ITT Tech out of high school. I learned a lot but didn't find out until later it was unaccredited so nothing would transfer to colleges and that they had lied heavily about their placement numbers. There were a few issues keeping from going after them: it was my parent's money, the point in time I went wasn't part of the lawsuit, and my parents were dead when the lawsuit came about. I cannot put ITT Tech on my resume because of everything related to it, it's a literal black mark. So I have to stretch the truth of those two years because of it.
Big money and hostile, foreign interests. That's basically it, you'll find Russia pushing a lot of far right candidates and the oligarchs convinced techno-feudalism will work.
A lot of foreign people telling us to get violent without organizing just want to see dead USA citizens despite any political persuasion. Rebellion is needed but those people can fuck right off.
We have never gotten rights or rights back from voting for them. A lot of people died for our rights and I'm not talking about soldiers. Miners, farm workers, industrial workers, healthcare, etc. It required many deaths for change to be made and it was force. Remember Stone Wall was a riot!
I've noticed a trend amongst most Musk defenders now and general billionaire simps. They have the emotional maturity of a13 year old, they never really grew up in high school so are so stunted developmentally they're a decade behind at the least.
This, the point would be to clog up the system entirely so nothing can push through at this point.
Nothing works as it was explained to me how it should. Now everything has ever changing rules and the points don't matter.

That's the same mentality that led to the rise of the Tea Party then from there MAGA. Oh, they're harmless, what will you even do if they win? /s
Swap around the parent rolls, a dash of a middle sister as bad as any bully, and bam you have my family "life."
Apparently, like with McConnell, being a bag of the worst excrement keeps you alive a long time. Not looking good, just alive.
Degrees of whiteness, someone who is translucent like me probably ends up in the camps.
Oh, that's an interesting bit of information. Thank you!
Honestly they're just the controlled opposition at this point. They'll never improve anything, just put on the breaks some.

If it were Hitlers on roids they'd welcome them into the country with all the pomp and circumstance.

I've found that a lot of reddit users recently migrated to Lemmy and brought their bad faith with them. As well just generally acting like dipshits.

I've come to say this but the mealy mouthed neoliberals think that the Democrats will magic away all the fascism and we'll all be safe.
Basically.
