you ever think about how mr beast is real life monokuma

[acerby]

I believe Mr Beast is just itching for the day he can do a real death game. I think he constantly pitches it to his team and they just keep going "not yet, but soon"

Trump to pump $700M into coal power in the states, as he again blasts renewable energy • West Virginia Watch

The federal government will spend $700 million on building or refurbishing coal power infrastructure in a boost to coal, Trump said.

“It is hard to overstate the magnitude of this,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said. “If you look at our efforts across the whole government, so far 45 coal plants are open today that would not be open.”

Traditional fascism embraced the ideal of fossil modernity because of the direct association with the values of strength, speed, and power carried by fossil fuelled objects such as industrial machines and motor vehicles. The historian of fascism Robert Paxton mentions Trump holding a campaign speech in an airplane hangar in 2016, after getting out from a plane that had just landed and taxied up there, which “is exactly what they did in 1932 for Hitler’s first election victory”. This example displays how the love of current far-right leaders for fossil modernity leads to a stunning resemblance with fascist symbolism (Chotiner, 2016). In Brazil, Bolsonaro delivered an analogue picture in May 2020 as he requisitioned a helicopter to fly six circles above the presidential square before landing in front of a crowd of his supporters who had rallied to demonstrate for a military coup. Fossil fuelled objects stood and continue to stand as the symbol of a virile, powerful and aggressive performance of modernity, and for the material fulfilment of authoritarian desires (Daggett, 2018; LeMenager, 2014).

Yet, while at the time of early fascist parties, the climatic toxicity of CO2 emissions was virtually unknown, far-right campaigns and governments today explicitly mock the global concern for climate change. Carbofascism, in this sense, could be different from historical fascism in so far as it merges its fascination for fossil modernity with a political discourse that promotes human domination over nature through the preservation and amplification of the fossil energy model as an endangered ideal of modern society. While fascism looked at fossil fuelled objects as the future of humanity, carbofascism would tend to consider them as the remnants of a golden age which need to be preserved in spite of their impact on the planet´s (and human) health.

real punk is about superficially aligning your politics or aesthetics with a counter-culture while ultimately holding mainstream and/or conservative political views

Incredibly violent take of mine but I actually don’t think you need to relate to a story in any way to enjoy it. You can enjoy a story even if you can’t point at a character and insert some aspect of your personality or identity into them. In fact I would argue the need for a character like that to be present in every single story you experience is a sign of stunted growth.

Okay, if you are tired then you won't be able to read. There I say it. No one else want to say it. It is strange. If you are tired, if you cannot finish a book that's a given. That's why you need to read...at work. You need to steal your reading time from your employers.
