Imagine a world without hate, violence, wars, weapons, a world where everybody is kind, and loves each other. Without starvation, poverty, or pollution. A world where all the people are happy. And then imagine us attacking that world. They wouldn’t stand a chance.
That’s an engineered species. An evolved species can’t be like that.
Fear the masters that created them.

my concern was that, is that really quantifiable evidence of fascism?
its more a symptom of plutocratic classism with intersection with racism.
the aim of Voter IDs is not to coalesce power into the hands of one leader and the absolute control or establishment of strict order of society… but to diminish the capacity of the more populous, poor of the country to influence the affairs of government that threaten to undermine the state granted privileges of the wealthy.
They wouldn’t want to totally control the poor and the minorities or how they live, they would actually prefer to preserve the freedom they feel the poor enjoy, but only greatly reduce their share in governance. The rich care so little for how the poor and minorities in the country go about their lives, they only care if it gets in the way of their own interests
Calling it fascist and likening it to nazis and shit just obfuscates that and makes it all the more difficult in addressing and fighting it.
The Republican Party has had a tough time bridging the gap to minority voters - and it will likely continue to do so for a long time. As the Demographic Destiny™ sought by the Democrats through mass immigration dwindles their power base, the Republicans will need to win over larger and larger shares of whites to remain in power.
…and they can do that, to a degree. We won’t like the side effects, but, surprise, I’m not in favor of mass migration.

It genuinely disappoints me that the Legion is more of a twisted parody of Caesarism rather than an actual revival. It would have been interesting to see a nuanced portrayal of right-wing authoritarianism.

Anon, honey, how is a game where the more-or-less default path is to install a Technocratic Dictatorship under the rule of an ancient white male capitalist an SJW game?

Temporal pre-familiarity bias. You are remembering my posts from the future, causing the release of endorphins and other neurochemicals. The posts aren’t actually that good, it just feels like that when you read them. They’ll seem normal again in a few months.

Eh, New Vegas is far more divorced from progressive orthodoxy than Fallout 3 or 4. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into making House and Yes Man as close to morally equal to the NCR (the clear prog favorite) as possible. All the prog bias is entirely unintentional, and the game goes out of its way to not preach to you, except all the times it tells you that it’s important to look at a problem from multiple angles and consider different perspectives.

It isn’t as dangerous, but also the number of police shootings is lower than some people expect, if I recall correctly.
But then, I’ve generally lived in areas where the police would actually come and intervene if there were a problem. That varies a lot in my country though, by area.
Lately, in developing a hypothetical/fictional country, I’ve been pondering foot patrol officers assigned to specific neighborhoods (rotated on a five year basis), trained in EMT stuff as well, with the different role of “Community Support Officer”. Separate out the heavy guys for use solely on bank robbers.
Edit: The idea being that you want someone who can use discretion, who lives nearby and is more of a part of the community than an occupying force within the community. All sorts of contextual information. But you don’t want them to stay so long that they set up a bribery network or something. You’d have to combine this with a whole bunch of other stuff to make it work, though. It isn’t so helpful if your CSO arrests some kid for vandalism after several warnings and the prosecutor sends him to prison in order to max his “woo, tough on crime!” ratings. (Instead of, you know, making the kid clean up the spray paint.)
I’ve no clue why I keep reflexively defending cops given the fact that I’ve been a victim of a crime several times and the cops never did anything to satisfyingly help
Based on your blog’s usual content, I imagine you’re encountering people that want to get rid of the police force entirely (or something equally wacky), which will go about as well as that time the police went on strike in Brazil.
You also probably realize on some level that better policing is possible, just like better zoning laws are possible, and better drug laws are possible, and… now if only improving the overall quality of government were as exciting as social wedge issues.
