OTOH, look at all the Stormtrooper cosplayers, who actually have formal legions and get into character about defending the Empire the way Good Germans would about the Third Reich.

One problem with Star Wars is that it makes fascism look cool to enough of the public that the next generation of real-world Nazis approvingly quotes it. (Compare this with Doctor Who, whose in-universe fascists, the Daleks, are kind of pathetic and not something anyone would emulate.)

Japan is now preemptively denying known YouTube jackasses entry, at least to ferries and such, though perhaps the border will be next.

It’s likely that white people are overrepresented on the boards of fracking companies; if so, they don’t not cause earthquakes

As Churchill said, “I love Germany so much I want to have six of them forever”

Possibly not, but it may take you longer to return to the nitrogen cycle

Is it legal to not be a Muslim in Saudi Arabia? I thought it was a crime unless one had special dispensation (typically granted to foreign advisors and such).

The real-world equivalent of a typical fediverse account

Because you don’t use Typescript/JS perhaps?

Is the AI coming up with your ideas as well?

Is this another proxy for the 18th-century Partition of Poland?

Those guys’ clubhouse game is strong

Do you have a psycho-killer-clown problem where you live as well?
