Stranger stranger! Now that's a weapon

Krenwinkel amd Van Houten have all renounced him and his ways.

Daniels and Gemienhardt, who was a registered sex offender in Ohio, exchanged thousands of illicit text messages detailing their sexual fantasies about four children to whom they had access to.

why would they want to get rid of remote raid passes? don't they make a killing on those alone?

Okay?

Clam down govna. Lets be friends here.

We call the UK "TERF Island" because of the media there praising anti trans bigots like her while the same media never gives any other positions air time. The BBC does this a lot. Hell, there's some data showing that the support for trans people went from like 60% in 2016 to about 38% in 2021.

Also, you don't just stop being a threat to everyone around you because you go to prison. What if he gets the upper hand on someone and kills them in jail? Whoops I guess?

Yes, they got rid of the bad people and kept the system the way it was.

lol I have indeed read the books and they are very pro establishment. There may be some bad people in charge but the books make it very clear that those bad people are the problem and not the system itself. Once Harry and his friends get rid of the bad people the wizarding establishment goes back to being the way it was and everything is hunky-dory again. Nothing about traditional systems or values is ever seriously questioned.

Even fucking slavery--Harry is kind of shocked by it at first, and Hermione has some anti-slavery activism, but eventually Harry comes to see it as normal and Hermione's activism is just a phase that is largely played for laughs. Because you see unlike in the real world where racists lied about black people being happier as slaves, with house elves it's actually true, you see, so having them be slaves is totally better for them in the end. Maybe they could pass laws so that wizards have to be nice to their house elf slaves? As long as it doesn't cause any real social upheaval, of course. We can't have that inside the world of Harry Potter!

The Harry Potter books have some liberal values but are very pro establishment and they're all about maintaining the status quo

@Kimbos_Egg

What do you mean by this? I said 3 things and you made a metaphor, I don't know which one you're talking about.

Buying their favor is what we did with (post) Nazi Germany and that worked out great. Of course, we owned them at that point, but we made the most of it.

1. russia was given money to build by the eu and others, especially by germany, which is why their petrol and natural gas supplies were so closely linked, as they thought if their economys were dependent on each other they'd behave. How'd that turn out?
2. China didn't "work" with the west because they wanted a good economical relationship. they did it because they fell out with the soviet union and needed aid. They continued to fund wars against the west , are currently hacking our computers to steal trade secrets and are undermining us at every point. So another great relationship we should become even more dependent on, huh?
3. Holy shit if you actually think giving north korea more money will somehow turn them into a democracy. How do you even function being this naive?

Let Putin's Russia collapse into a pile of ruins and invest in the welfare of the country afterward instead of screwing them over like we did last time

Continue to work with China in a commercial relationship

Buy off the NK government with economic relations the same way we did China, gradually encourage them to pull the stick out of their ass

Why hint that Byleth has no idea how old he is?

Why hint that Jeralt is older than he is?

Texas SMASH

I also expected to hear more about Edelgards mom which I feel she had a complicated story. Just nope? She did what she did because she wanted to see her old family? Nothing more to it? I feel like there are some lose story threads out there that arent satisfying me
