Neither, they are actively working towards Russia’s goal just like they were paid to do, and they don’t seem to be pretending at all.

I think a lot of people are missing the next step of the plan. First, they push a bill that specifically says it is illegal for non citizens to vote. Assume the bill passes, because why wouldn’t it? You already have to be a citizen to vote. It’s all political theater, after all, so there is no need to pick a fight.
Then red states come through with a fucked up interpretation of the law that says felons are no longer U.S. citizens. Now it is illegal for felons to ever vote again. The law would be challenged, appealed, and eventually make its way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, that is absolutely going to side with the “States right” to choose what happens to their felons.
Finally, they use selective enforcement of law combined with aggregate data from any number of sources to build felony cases specifically against political rivals. Then you have red states that can never go blue again.
This is all fascism 101.
There is a very distinct plan here. They want to drive out the teachers who believe in empathy and compassion, instead to replace them with the kind of person who prefers armed hierarchical power settings.
This is just another way to change the education system for the worse, and if it continues, it will take generations to fix.
I can not agree more on Inscryption it is a phenomenal game. Additionally, I have thoroughly enjoyed everything that Daniel Mullins games have released thus far. They all have that same dark tone that really resonates with me, despite all being wildly different kinds of game.
Alabama Shakes - Boys and Girls, specifically I have “Hold On” running on loop. That song has just been like brain candy for me recently.
Firework?
How about Youth Gone Wild?
10,000 fists
Black hole sun?
It is a really interesting concept that has been executed very well. It is surprising how addictive this game is once you start getting the hang of it.
We Didn’t Start the Fire
Just noticed this with Last Epoch yesterday as well. There is a false store listing it at $60 usd.
I was looking for a way to report it to Steam but couldn’t locate a method to do so.

Let’s be honest, “signals” mean exactly two things. Jack and shit. A viable progressive is just not gonna appear on thoughts and prayers because someone signals hard enough. The only way to move the needle is by choosing the viable party that doesn’t actively campaign on the notion of eradicating “vermin”.
In a functional society, we would have options like ranked choice, but functional is not a great word to explain the current situation in the U.S. So you bite the bullet, and make the less evil choice. Then you do it over and over again until the party that is actively trying to destroy democracy no longer exists, and you can potentially make effective voting reform.
There are two ways to fix this, slowly with every election over potentially decades, or quickly. And doing it quickly almost certainly involves people in the streets and ugliness on a scale you really cannot comprehend. But no amount of “signaling” is gonna work because honestly close to half the electorate just doesn’t fucking care.
My fear is that the next one will be worse.
