At its core, fallen London is a decades long project by a bunch of leftists to create a universe that can turn one centrist asshole's terrible "anarchists probably want to like blow up the sun cause it's too powerful lol" joke into a coherent and compelling leftist ideology

"No, no, they're right, they're just awful at articulating why" is not the twist anyone expected ten years ago.
honestly blowing up the sun really is a pretty good metaphor for anarchism when you think about it
abolishing capitalism certainly often feels like a task about as monumental and about as likely to succeed as blowing up the sun. people certainly react like i've told them i want to blow up the sun when i try to tell them why we need to abolish capitalism. and when said people go "no no we need to embrace the fruits of incrementalism, biden approved only 80% as many drilling permits as last year isn't that great", "fuck you i want to blow up the sun" is certainly an accurate encapsulation of my emotional state
I am Bane-Gripping your shoulder but instead of a small discussion about control and power I am saying "Words Illegal Now" in a bane voice.
oh yeah in retrospect this requires knowing like, 3 diff things that aren't running parallel to cohost-esque culture
dw about it
ok so I can't just put a picture but there's a dark knight rises sceen where bane puts his hand palm up on the guy who hired him's shoulder and talks about how the dude is powerless against him. I gave the visual of that scene but with whats said changed to essentially be "shush up" in a polite/nonfanged way.
The explanation of this has robbed it of meaning and any sense, but I hope this helped
okay see now that i completely understand, no i totally got that. what i'm confused about is why. what's so infuriating about what i said lol genuinely curious
oh nothing infuriating, its the same sort of warm friendly "lol i hate this" response you'd see elsewhere, but with more jokes/site-culture that didn't land how the typer hoped.
AH FAIR hdjfksadhfjklasdf
it's cool!
but still. i'm right. i'm not wrong.
