do you think a crafty turd burglar would be like "ahaha, there are so many turds in here that he won't miss it if I take just one, just this small one on the corner, yes"

The character change is less off putting than the setting for me, I have seen their version of norse and don't care any more they explained too much

I never cared for picking Norse as the next setting. It doesn't seem "right" at all from starting in Greece. Kratos should have never traveled far from the Mediterranean.

It's obvious why they didn't pick Rome next but it would explain his son's situation a lot better.

Everyone Calls Themselves an Ally Until it Is Time to Do Some Real Ally Shit
"Not everyone is a warrior. Not everyone wants to be in confrontational situations with the police and governments, or angry people, but most of the people who fall into this category are often pigeonholed as being a bull horn blow hard and march organizer. Creating a culture of resistance and support requires us all to know what our strong suits and talents are and to cultivate them so they benefit the cause in a manner that is respectful and meaningful."

Xhopakelxhit, a member of Ancestral Pride, (some badass, grassroots, indigenous, direct action land defenders from unceded Ahousat territory) made this zine about how to be anti-racist/anti-capitalist white settler ally to people in all kinds of struggles—indigenous and otherwise. Featuring artwork from Gord Hill and Annie Banks, it offers very concrete action ideas and resources that anyone can empower themselves with in the battle for restorative justice and building allies with settlers. 

When Being An Ally Turns Into Being An Appropriator: Settler Conduct and Self Check
A no-bullshit gut-check on how settlers can effectively support indigenous movements, and how all of us can do better building together. Xhopakelxhit, a member of Ancestral Pride, (badass, grassroots, direct action land defenders from unceded Ahousat territory), sets this zine up as a primer for allies of indigenous liberation, offering direct feedback on how to join the fight without taking up too much space, speaking for people whose voices and experiences should be heard directly, or claiming an inappropriate degree of authority. The series of "self-check" questions at the center will help you pump the brakes before you privilege jumps out, but they also form a road map for meaningful, long-term involvement in our collective struggle.

Seasons of Resistance: Winter Spells for Rest
Struggling with the state of the world? Learn to support your mental health with the power of the seasons in this tender offering. Each season has its own lessons, and winter is a potent time for deep dreaming, transformation, and planting the seeds of a better future. Whether you’re “witch curious” or already have an established spiritual practice, this zine of spells and reflections will help you to work with winter’s unique magic. If you are feeling anxiety or grief about our planet and political climate, you are not alone. May these spells sustain you, and remind you that the seasons are here to guide you, the earth is with you, and we are all bound together in the fight for liberation. Let’s conjure kernels of hope together!

Utopian Witch: Solarpunk Magick to Fight Climate Change and Save the World
This solarpunk book of shadows will guide you in surviving and resisting climate crisis and dystopian political systems so you can take radical action towards a positive future. Longtime activist and practicing witch Justine Norton-Kertson introduces a fresh approach to witchcraft at a time when it’s desperately needed.

Drawing on the natural connections between modern paganism and the literary, artistic, and activist movement known as solarpunk, Norton-Kertson provides meditations and correspondences for developing a spiritual practice rooted in nature, the Sun, and a powerful belief in our ability to build a better world. Readers will also find a host of spells to use in the fight against climate change, fascism, and inequality. These politically conscious magickal practices forge a new spiritual praxis to guide us as we work together to envision and create the future we want to see.

Looking at the White Working Class Historically
What is the role of the white working class in the US? Are we at the front lines of the fight against oppression, or are we capitalism's complicit foot soldiers? Are we the ultimate underdogs or dangerously unaware of our privilege? Or some combination of all and none of the above? Written in the early 1980s from prison by David Gilbert, a white activist who worked with the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army, this pamphlet reflects on the historical race and class analyses of thinkers such as W.E.B. DuBois, J. Sakai, and Ted Allen to tease out the complexities of the contradictions of the white working class identity. Activists seeking to end white supremacy and build solidarity across race and class lines will gain valuable insight in these lessons from the radicals of the 1960s and before. Read this instead of Hillbilly Elegy, ugh, seriously.

Unfortunately, the charity part goes to Nazis:

Charity Information
This bundle supports American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

So make sure to set that to zero to be a true ally.

I've never seen a list so full of white people

ACLU

I'll be ignoring every book on this list. It already reeks of people who would use the term "adulting" unironically. Why would I care about Western thought on the subject of class struggle and action when there is already so many authored by actual communists in the East?

Replacing Neoliberals with Neoliberals with glitter isnt going to change what is decaying the living standards

Yeah, even the self-ascribed smart people haven't moved their thinking past neoliberalism yet.

Give us your plan, Nep. And not the same  art college student Bohemian shit you have proposed

We're really doing the Snyderverse thing with Scream 7 reviews, eh?

43% is 43%. If the movie was good enough, the "vibes" wouldn't sink it that low. There are a lot of negative reviews out there with criticism not tied to Skydance.

33% now actually. Just didn't feel it was worth updating the thread title.

As regards the dead children in the school thing people need to be very careful of what they are reading and where it is from. Iranian State media, which has put out this story, is in full-on propaganda mode at the moment. So take anything they say with massive piles of salt. There is no way to verify this at the moment.
Remember the old saying that the first thing that dies in war is the truth.

How is that worth a ban? They're constantly saying this kind of stuff about Israel.

How do I go about buying a Thor in the US? I'm so confused with the tarrifs a d customs. I don't want to expect any hidden fees

I didn't have any with my Thor Pro Batch 2 Preorder + Accessories bundle. AYN tries to keep a low profile on shipping your item with the minimum customs ordeals as possible. DHL was my carrier and it was delivered within 4 business days from China with no tariffs hassle.

I like the space wizard movie and the explorer whip guy movie the one where he's the president. Does that mean I support pedophilia? ERA, please yell at me until my moral quandary is resolved.

I swear, ERA is full of people with the Controversies tab of Wikipedia on standby.
