@pupperipherals @alex @ew @polarisera Let me make point clear with 2 of hyper real painting. The reason why some of the Expressionist paintings look so distorted is because the entire movement embraced the ugly and the distorted. Furthermore I pointed out that the CIA has funded and pushed abstract art as culture creation move against the Soviet Union. Some infamous billionaires also pumped money into it for culture creation (which is technically the job of spook agencies, not some rich dudes). It takes zero standards to churn out hundreds of easily slapped together art pieces for money from God knows where. The standards for Western Art have been of course chipped away little by little for centuries. It started with throwing away teachings about sacred shapes and ended with people shrugging off the idea representing beauty in general. Which wasn't problem when you consider that the world is unknowable and metaphysics impossible and therefor anyone can make up his own beauty.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS???

I know that Decker dying is sort of a meme, but he got one-shoted and the mech is "almost undamaged" with the torso cut clean from the rest of the mech...

Sorry for gaming shit.

Many governments want their people to fear for their lives. This is a basic way to control them.
Some large organizations are like governments, you can't tell the difference.
Some companies made a lot of money during that pandemic.

Now, let's imagine this never happened. Don't you think at least some governments, organizations and companies would like that pandemic to happen?

I'm not saying what happens now is not real. It may be totally real, it may be exaggerated (because media loves attention, right? it's money for them.)
I'm saying some people would like to repeat that and earn more money \ power, whatever they are after.

What I think we should do is stay calm, take all the data with a grain of salt and check it several times and don't let the people in power keep the control they got over our lives during the past months. We should be free to walk, free to take whatever medicine we want (or refuse to take it), free to visit our relatives or leave our country for a while.

Average antifa debate
Antifa: Some ridiculous claim
Me: I disagree
Antifa: Starts attacking me

Antifa argument on defunding the police
Antifa: Some ridiculous claim
Me: I disagree
Antifa: Continues to conduct scientific experiment where they show that even in case of clear cut riot, the american police will not act to stop the attacker, proving their original point to be scientifically correct.
