Finally feel free enough to speak more of my mind

"The changing face of Ireland. Migrants are able to receive special federal loans to start a business in Ireland."

I think better depictions of Orcs include works like Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon for those who didnt read it before the official translation and must be resigned to sounding like a pretentious weeb) or even just Warcraft III. In Dungeon Meshi the Orcs are explicitly porcine in appearance and absolutely do raid and kill. The story touches on this as a conflict of cultures, economic conditions and more. In Warcraft III, coming after a game where the Orcs were heavy metal dag-blasted evil, the story focuses on Orcs living in the aftermath of a failed invasion, abandoned by their demonic overlords and oppressed by the human victors. The story manages surprising depth on the subject of their culpability in the evil they wrought upon the land as well as the injustices they face now. Both takes are, I think, more interesting, more honest, and more, well, intellectually valuable takes on the topic. I don't hate the Orcs from 5.5e, and generally don't like to harp on people depicting things how they like. And there's still plenty of good monstrous Orcs out there. But something always gnaws at me about it when I see "green elves". Some kind of stolen valor for monster-fuckers I suppose. "Yeah, I love the monstrous" says someone talking about an generally attractive woman with muscles. I could really do a deeper dive on this, but that would perhaps just be indulgent. Im going to cut myself off here. Zug Zug.

"🇪🇸 FIRST NIGHT OF CHAOS AS CEUTA STRUGGLES TO CONTAIN MIGRANT ATTACKS. Thousands of migrants continued attempting to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta overnight, with scenes of chaos unfolding along the Moroccan border. Clashes with security forces, burning vehicles and multiple fatalities were reported as authorities struggled to regain control of Europe’s southern frontier. Spain has deployed additional military and police units to the enclave, but local leaders warn the city is overwhelmed and fear the crisis could escalate further if crossings continue. Critics say the events expose the vulnerability of the EU’s external borders and are calling for an immediate tightening of border security, while the Spanish government says it is coordinating with Morocco and reinforcing the response.

They are already looting and robbing...

Meanwhile there’s always some dipshit telling me AI is the future and we’ve got to just let companies erase human history and literature so they can train their abomination machines to pretend to think like people because a judge said it’s fine

An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol

Yes, yes he did, and here it is … 👆

Ceuta

Unpasteurized milk, the carnivore diet, and other MAHA food/lifestyle choices are very much politicized, just as being anti-vaccine and anti-mask was with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. All linked to white supremacy and far-right authoritarianism.

By the Mainland Spanish government.

There aren't words for how insidiously disgusting and blatant this is. (Link)

Slavery begun with black people enslaving other black people, tens of thousands of years ago. White people ended it.

The Spanish enclave of Ceuta is being flooded by thousands of Arab migrants swimming from Morocco. An average of 300 people are arriving every day, over 100,000/year. Facilities for unaccompanied minors are operating at 2,400% capacity. Ceuta's president has requested the Spanish government declare a state of emergency.
