Being able to admit a mistake is huge, being able to genuinely apologize without some cop-out disclaimer is even better.

A Bewitching Revolution.

You play as a witch who explores a city, helping homeless people get housed, planting fruit trees, clearing anti-bird architecture, starting union drives and prison riots…

The game is free and you can finish it in an hour.

A Bewitching Revolution is a first-person adventure game about a communist witch living in a cyberpunk city. Use magic to help the city’s residents build collective forms of power and resistance!

Inspired by the work of Silvia Federici, A Bewitching Revolution tells an optimistic story about people transforming their gloomy capitalist present into a bright revolutionary future. It is designed to be played in a single sitting, roughly one hour long.

In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people’s home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!

Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?

I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...

After reading Flatland and playing The Forgotten City, I feel like any number of human religions could end up being “true” to some degree. But it would involve aliens, or interdimensional interlopers or something.

I actually just adopted knocking on wood. Couldn’t tell ya why.

Lol what specifically happened in 2020?

Literally nobody ever believed it was about “protecting the children.”

Liberal rubes sure did. They’ll keep insisting that’s the case too, even as bans on trans adults existing sweep forth. Liberals absolutely don’t give a fuck about us.

Let people not like things.

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

The speed of advancement from the industrial revolution to present.

This one makes Fermi’s Paradox far more confusing and terrifying to me. The time it took to go from agriculture to the steam engine is nothing compared to the age of the universe, absolutely nothing, and from the steam engine to modern technology is fuck ton nothing.

An intelligent species could go from stone age technology to nuclear weapons in the blink of an eye.

And that’s just life as we understand it. We have no idea if we’re the equivalent of Flatland in a higher spatial dimension or something. There could be stars with entire civilizations of plasma-based intelligent life churning inside of them. There could be intelligent civilizations lurking in each and every single subatomic particle.

It’s possible no matter how far out or far in we look, we just keep finding more universe, more space for something to inhabit, forever…

As they said on chapo-boys , if we look everywhere and we’re the only intelligent species anywhere in this universe … well that would be weirder than if life is hiding all over the universe.

I support crushing fascists with tanks.

If your goal is to prevent deaths, surrendering would have been the ideal yeah.

Zelenksy tried to surrender to prevent further deaths, and Boris Johnson refused to let that meeting happen because NATO isn’t finished using Ukranians as crash test dummies.

The creator of this comic is a self-described pro-sweatshop neoliberal, which explains the “woe is me, I’m too smart for my own good” delusions.

If you’re not an Anarchist in your 20’s you have no heart.

If you’re not a Tankie in your 30’s you have no brain.

Such a bizarre dark comedy. Only saw it once when I was like 12, and it completely seared itself into my brain.

Where did we go wrong?

The bad guys won the Cold War.

Just make sure you sell before the US opens its TSMC plant and drops Taiwan like a hot rock.

This is like if the Confederacy retreated to Catalina Island, massacred everyone there, and continued calling itself the rightful government of the entire continent afterward.

But I was assured by the Anti-Tankies that everyone in Cuba gets executed every hour on the hour.

If this shrine was about anything else nobody would shame you for worrying about whoever owns it.

Time for her to make another 4 hour video about how she was 1984’d into deleting a tweet.

She’s actively regressing into a chud.

In other words - PT is Contrapoints, but it’s good instead of whiny liberal asslicking.
