    “I cast that wish at level 9” is a weird phrasing. So far as I know Wish is already level 9, so there’s no other level to cast it at. Older editions had “limited wish” but I don’t believe they had upcasting. It feels very “how do you do fellow children”

      It’s kinda “fellow kids” but also a lot people don’t know the rules of the games they play.

      This one’s a fascist tho, so fuck them.

    Yeah this happened once during the 2020 July protests in Serbia. As we walked, we passed a WW2 memorial and the guy leading the group took a moment to stop, comment on it and chant “death to fascism” a few times. Then out of the blue two guys started yelling “death to communism”.

    To be fair, “death to fascism, freedom to the people” is a communist slogan known by everyone from ex-Yugoslavia, but getting triggered by someone disavowing fascism right next to a statue that shows how fascists murdered civilians in raids in your own city is… worrying.

      Not by accident, Serbia is like the MAGA lovin’ south of Europe, complete with the ignorant meat-heads gargling Putin’s balls.

      For some reason there seems to be this idea that everything must either be fascist or communist or somewhere between. Like they don’t believe in the existence of other political philosophies.

      They’re obsessed with the political spectrum being one-dimensional, it isn’t.

      The next chant should be “death to fascism, death to capitalism”

      Fascism is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. We need to go back to the correct timeline. Socialism was the improvable system. Capitalism is social darwinism (read: a lie)

    sigh

    I don’t want to be fair to fascists but the current social context does align leftism with labeling the fascists/GOP as “fascists”.

    Similarly to how 15 years ago someone shouting “let’s go, Brandon!” would make you check that hadn’t been teleported into the middle of a little league baseball game versus now where you just check how close the nearest exit is.

      I suppose I shouldn’t say anything bad about Nazis, either, since the GOP gets compared to Nazis? Give me a break. Maybe instead of listening for dog-whistles, they should look into why those comparisons are being made in the first place.

      In my experience they never get it. It is fun to make fun of them. Once they reveal themselves, they become very predictable and even when called out as to how they will respond, they do it anyway like an npc.

    “Politically motivated assassinations”? Should we bring up the comparative list of politically-motivated extremist incidents in the US and see which side is enacting most of the violence?

      “politically motivated assassinations?” like the two Democratic politicians who were just murdered yesterday in Minnesota?

        The Minnesota ones are particularly interesting. The Democrats had a one-seat advantage in both chambers of the Minnesota legislature. The assassin specifically targeted one Democratic member of each chamber. The Minnesota House is now tied, and the Senate will be tied until Hoffman is able to work or (or Minnesota allows it, I’m not sure) is about to designate someone to vote for him.

    Sam’s a real one. The whole group are, but of them all, Sam’s the one I’d least want to go toe to toe with in an argument.

    Dude’s sharp as fuck.

      It’s also already a ninth level spell, so saying he’ll cast it at level nine is meaningless and a failed attempt to establish nerd cred.

          I remember some YouTuber ranting about this. About how none of these people yelling about how their favorite games are going woke are actual players. I don’t have any evidence either way, but it wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of these folks are just random alt-right wingnuts trying to stir shit up. (Or nowadays AI wingnuts.)

            Kinda like ranting about movies and games “go woke, go broke” and yet these media end up being blockbusters. These alt right and AI shit stirrers have huge backing from billionaires who want to world to end up in fascism.

        It’s referring to a scene involving Sam Riegel in the first Critical Role campaign. He’s basically establishing he’s a ‘fan’, though also being a Nazi is weird af.
