    I’m tired of the Boromir slander, you guys. He was proud and hot blooded, but courageous, spirited, and loyal, and an example of Gondor beyond its faded glory. He devoted his life to a hopeless quest to save his people, and then he gave his life to protect a friend. A liberal, indeed.

        Infighting? Don’t try to distract me. Look man, the whole point of Boromir’s character was that even a genuinely great and noble hero with only the best intentions would still easily be corrupted by the ring. People write him off as a meathead, and I’m tired of it god damn it!

    If you stop ruining capitalism by letting businesses fail without bailouts of public money, it could be wielded by the common man. Gets multiple Orc arrows in the chest

    Use every tool you’ve got. The people who shit on any tactic outside of revolution are just helping the fascists.

    Is the ring Hate? Is hate(dehumanization edition) a precursor to capitalism?

    There has to be an “Other Guy” to supposedly cheat to get ahead of. (currency is a shell game, and the ball isn’t in the shells)

    Its possible to make capitalism work for the common good, you just gotta set up the incentives correctly. Land value taxes & UBI!
