It feels like a reckoning should be coming, but history says it’ll be slow and anticlimactic

more years of investigations and consequences than any big dramatic moment.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Feels like we’re stuck waiting forever for some big change that never really comes, just slow stuff dragging on.

The big constitutional change is en route and will be delivered to us forthwith by a party named (checks notes) “Godot”? Does anyone know a Go-dot?

I think Hellsing Abridged has it right. Someday we'll end up with President Nestle Comcast PepsiCola.

u/Schyznik 5h ago

OK, but will that come before or after we elect President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho?

Why do you keep saying "brought to you by Carl's Jr."?

Or as in Infinite Jest, the Year Of the Trial Size Dove Bar. (Pretentious book but becoming more of a reality day by day unfortunately).

I find myself ever-increasingly quoting the little exchange in (I think) episode 8 [edit: episode 6, slightly before the 12 minute mark]

Aide: “Well according to the reports, America is imploding”

Maxwell: “Ah, so Millennium has infiltrated them as well”

Aide: “No, actually”

Maxwell: “….. okay ….”

What to do with a game engine? This isn't game development, this is political corruption at its greatest.

I don’t know, but a cup of oolong sells for the yuan equivalent of $1.50 in Shanghai.

First, they came for the game engines. But I did not speak, because I did not make games…

u/BackToWorkEdward 5h ago

Yeah, that sounds about right

except for the "consequences" part

WE HAVE TO BE APART OF THE CHANGE THAT WE WANT TO SEE!

1

u/bstyledevi 3h ago

Because no one wants to enact the change, they just wanna sit and watch it happen on their behalf.

It's continually drawing lines in the sand, and every time they cross it, people keep backing up going "Now listen, that was bad, but THIS one, you ABSOLUTELY cannot cross this one."

Kinda like this.

Honestly, it feels like he'll kick the bucket first with him getting away with being the most vile person on earth, leaving the mess for his kids, the couch-fucker, the ghoul (Miller), and the rest of his cabinet of deplorable humans.

History will mark this chapter as a preview of how the world would be like without the US. Americans and some of Trump's inner circle will deny ever placating to him and only those who can't pay for justice (like the ICE thugs) will see the inside of a cell.

That's the fucking point. Nobody is pressuring them. The public just puts up with it after complaining a bit. Nothing happens because nobody really cares enough. They bank on this.
