  • The US president reminds me of the kings of old - more so than anybody actually called a king. The kind of fawning exaltation their current and former leaders receive is way, way over the top. ‘Presidents Day’ like there’s a pantheon that needs worshipping: pathetic. The fear/respect people close-to treat them with reminds me of the servile peons under some all-powerful autocrat, and not for no reason. The power these people have is way, way, way over the top, power that - rather than helping disillusion an entire population brainwashed by the lie of superiority - wages revenge wars and swings dicks.










  • None of that is correct.

    • The slave thing was about brainwashing and exploitation, and how it’s wrong.
    • I don’t know what you’re referring to with the apartheid thing.
    • The goblins are antisemitic because they have big noses? That’s been a staple of goblin anatomy since they were created.
    • The main character becomes an anti dark sorcerer guy, like counterterrorism, so nothing to do with enforcing all that gubbins anyway.

    Oh, and thanks for the ‘/s’. You know, otherwise I really would’ve thought you were giving it a compliment after a full paragraph of invective.





  • How old are these kids? Because those books get impressively eloquent as they advance, not to mention disturbing:

    A creature of an older world maybe it was, whose kind, lingering in forgotten mountains cold beneath the Moon, outstayed their day, and in hideous eyrie bred this last untimely brood, apt to evil. And the Dark Lord took it, and nursed it with fell meats until it grew beyond the measure of all other things that fly; and he gave it to his servant to be his steed.

    Are kids gonna love that or wonder what the hell he’s talking about? I can’t decide.
