Technology has already given us plenty of ways to sustain a growing (at least until it tapers off on its own at ~10 bil) population without harming the planet too much. It's the filthy rich preventing us from doing so.

Protesting is a morally neutral act so it is a protest. There was no overt violence against minorities so "pogrom" doesn't fit.

People are tired of Trump, mostly because of the sheer onslaught of changes.
Uh... no? It's because of all the fascism and wrecking the economy. There's a lot more that's objectionable about Trump than change. If the underlying issues of American society are not addressed, there will be no second term because the right will be able to say "see? Liberals don't care about you as long as they're in power."

No, it's just the historical march of fascism. Fascism in the UK could theoretically be stopped, but so far I haven't heard of enough real backlash to seriously consider the possibility.
- Comment on We must not posthumously sanitize Charlie Kirk's hateful life 5 days ago:
Spain under Franco was stable and orderly it was still fascist. The system needs crazy changes to be fixed (if such a thing is possible), because it was crazy changes that got it to its present broken state.

Nigel Farage as PM is more of a historical inevitability at this point unless something really big happens, but the media is absolutely complicit.

Do you have any evidence for that silent majority of yours?
- Comment on We must not posthumously sanitize Charlie Kirk's hateful life 5 days ago:
He needs to communicate order and tolerance right now to keep his presidential bid alive.
That's absolutely not what the non-Republican electorate wants right now. What they want is anti-fascist action, not bromance with fascists.

The US isn't the only country in the world where people have mental health crises, or have road rage, or get depressed
Yes, but it's one of the few first world countries who do almost nothing about it. Did you know mass shootings are on the rise in Europe too despite no relaxation of gun control laws? France is even talking about regulating knive sales due to knife-based crime. Not so coincidentally, this is happening in a time of social and economic uncertainty. Also, one reason I say it's a mental health thing is that America has more knife-based violent crime than, say, Britain. This points to a deeper factor beyond gun laws leading to the amount of gun violence in America, because as it turns out violence in America is just insane across the board. All countries have people with mental health crises, but the absolute inadequacy of the response to those crises and the number of financial and social destabilizing factors making them more frequent and worse is uniquely American. I mean, with nonsense like tent cities being a common thing of course gun crime will be through the roof.
- Comment on Aged like milk 1 week ago:
Also American society needs serious unfucking at all levels. Conservatives are bonkers but the "gun deaths are due to mental health issues" argument has merit; healthy and well-adjusted people don't grab the closest murder weapon and kill random people. Guns are a scapegoat so that politicians can avoid addressing the real issues.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
Accessibility options can be a a lot more nuanced, even going as far as altering level structures to provide pathways for players that can't platform.
Sure, but then we're way past "there's no reason not to add X."
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
In a game like Hollow Knight (and Silksong), I can't help but feel such a crude setting would end up doing more harm than good. I mean, let's take health for example. Increasing your health wouldn't help much if you can't handle what the game is throwing at you; the few extra masks the game gives you only really help if you can handle the difficulty but need mistake tolerance, otherwise enemies will still hit you and you'll still fail at platforming and fall into spikes. Fundamentally the difficulty of a game like Hollow Knight comes from a lot more than just damage numbers, so a naive difficulty scale would only give an illusion of accessibility that would fade away at the first difficult part, and in that case it's better for everyone involved if the inaccessibility of the game is easily apparent.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
(I'm just irrationally mad that they removed the cheeseable pogoing. It was so cheeseable but I get why they tweaked the mechanic to become harder to use in exactly the same way. I'm actually using the other offensive abilities more.)
Minor spoilers regarding crests
There's actually one crest that straight up brings back pogoing and another that give you something similar, but honestly Hornet's default dive is very underappreciated I'd say. It allows you to do maneuvers that you can't with normal pogoing, and even platforming isn't that hard when you get used to it.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
Early game areas feel as hard as late game areas from the first game.
Are you sure about that? It's been a while since I played Hollow Knight, but other than Hunter's Marsh I think Sillksong has been comparable to or slightly harder than equivalent parts of the Hollow Knight. The enemies are tougher, but you also get more tools to deal with them so it evens out. Mostly thinking of the projectiles here, but the mobility difference also can't be understated; you can abuse dash attacks in Silksong in a way you never could in Hollow Knight.

Strongly recommend Ishura. The way the narrative progresses is unique so you'll either like it or hate it, but if you like it it has exactly what you want.

It's definitely in poor taste, but to be fair the host community is a (poorly labeled) satire community. Now I'm not saying it's not harassment, just providing context.
- Comment on If you or a loved one have received a DM from a goat, you may be entitled to compensation 2 weeks ago:
It's also satire.

Just in case, the context for the context is satire.
- Comment on Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle? 2 weeks ago:
Setting aside the "the middle class isn't real" point, distributing the rich's wealth for the benefit of everyone else is the sales pitch of socialism, so the middle class is still on the side gaining from a successful proletarian class struggle. I mean, the bourgeoisie winning means the status quo with its permanently declining quality of life, so I don't think many middle class people are too thrilled about continuing with that.

The famine declaration was by the UN, not the EU. As for the latter I haven't heard of any EU declaration going that far. Even if it did, though, those are words, not action.
