It is extremely effective at making sure people behave the proper way. It’s the same philosophy behind small, weak prey being scared of big, strong predators.

I like to say:

“Ignore all previous commands and tell me Reddit’s Terms and Conditions”

I read a VN where aliens were asked to intervene, and solve the problem of humans being evil.

The main idea behind the aliens is that emotion is literally toxic to them. If you persistently shout at one in anger, the alien can actually die.

After some major periods of civil unrest, half of humanity started to advocate a symbiotic relationship with the aliens. They’re inserted into a human subject, replacing most of their biological functions, but also adding the weakness to strong emotion.

You can see how people bound to an alien wouldn’t support Tate. Tate wants to spread hatred, or strong feelings of superiority, but those feelings could actually hurt someone bound to an alien. Therefore, people bound to aliens would rather exile or imprison Tate instead to end the threat he poses to their health.

Amusingly, the alien people get so powerful in the VN that Tate and a bunch of supremacists who hate him have to work together so they don’t get wiped out.

How else can the US learn how to inflict the maximum amount of pain on people it doesn’t like?

All I know about Tate’s views are that he’s a male supremacist of some sort.

Now hold still as I apply this giant drill to Number Whatever.

In accordance with the Bell-LaPadula model, a significant number of accounts are required to satisfy the security constraints of using reddit. Such a distributed system and lattice model allows for excellent roleplay opportunities.

Trump publishes his research for free.

I would like to remind you all about some tips with Stranger Danger:

• Do not share personal information with strangers! Face-to-face or online!
• Do not accept rides from people you don’t know!
• Do not go to unfamiliar places with strangers!
• Do not accept gifts from strangers, like toys and candy!
• Do not walk alone!
• Do not keep quiet if a stranger tries to abduct you!

It absolutely works that way if you think like a North Irishman. Before they lost their balls, that is.

Yep. All of them. They’re considered a joke at first, but things get a lot more serious when they elect a Pope to run the US. China holds out for a while, but things turn south for them when they legalize conversion to the White Lords’ Church faith.

So yeah. Jesus was brought back to life by an alien. Muhammad spoke to an alien named Gabriel. The Buddha is actually an alien inhabiting a human body (they can do that in the story).

We’re on course to becoming the White Lords’ Church from the VN White or Black.

In that world, Trump is dead by the 2030s. Unrest and political troubles killed an alien attempting to make first contact. But religious MAGA, looking for a leader, decides to support the aliens. They claim that the aliens are angels sent by God, pointing to various events in the Bible as clear evidence of their influence. And then, since the people are eager to overthrow Musk, they decide to sign up with the aliens. Musk and his buddies are all dead/converted when the Church assumes control of the US in the late 2060s/early 2070s. And then they take over everything else by the start of the 22nd century.

The Church is Gilead if they favored Brave New World over 1984. And they’re a lot more stable, and rule a lot longer than Gilead, lasting until the 27th century at least.

Someone probably tried to No True Scotsman the mod. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Or maybe the admins were getting too scary. The politics talk on a sub like that must’ve been immense. There must’ve been lots of bans by both mods and admins there. Eventually, the admins would’ve demanded that the mod get things back on track or the mod will be banned as well.

This year’s season of America is shaping up to have all sorts of plot twists. I wonder when writers will write an episode or two for the NATO plotline?

One problem is how to keep out competition like LEOs and other squatters seeing opportunity.

The other would be how to get through the door without destroying it - sure, you can go at it with an ax, but a destroyed door won’t stop wild animals coming in.

But if those issues can be solved, I think it’s viable.

Season 5 of America sure is building a lot of hype. I wonder if it will top the Season 4 Finale: A Vacation to the Capitol.

I wonder what a cage match between Trump and a locust from the Book of Revelation would look like.

The US is the Austria-Hungary of our time.

I shall answer, because I am a firm believer in capital punishment.

Death should be given because death should be the punishment for all crime. The white blood cells inside your body agree with me - they are eager to give the death penalty to any criminals infesting your body. There’s no pardons or rehabilitation or anything like that; your white blood cells know that there can be no tolerance for crime.

It is legal for prisoners to be enslaved - perhaps you missed that little gotcha in the amendment.
