If I went into the game completely blind, I think Toriel would have been my only kill
That's basically what I did, but I also killed some other random bosses like the dog guard, and I did end up killing Papyrus too. I did kill a bunch of regular enemies too before I really figured out the sparing system.

People who say it's so totally obvious that you never need to kill anyone are way too blinded by their spoilers. If you really went into the game without knowing the tagline and the hype about pacifist/genocide, then it's not obvious at all. And it really does add a lot to the game when you don't know what you're missing by killing. I missed all the Papyrus date stuff for example. It was pretty mind blowing going through the second time.

My only complaint was that it's disappointingly short/easy
It took me 18 hours total and has some of the most challenging things that I've done in any game.

It's really up to you. The game gives you absolutely everything that you attempt to take from it. This is why people say Genocide is a must, but also that it's not for everyone.

Oh yeah and watching gets you maybe 20% of the Genocide experience at most. It's a good 20% but still.

I don't know why y'all are arguing with someone who clearly doesn't give a single fuck about the 20~ US military suicides per day caused largely by our middle east invasions. A number that completely dwarfs all combat deaths and even 9/11 (which is why you really know he doesn't give a shit about our troops). It's not even about money or legal threats.

I'm saying that since the 50s the entirety of US politics has used anti-racist rhetoric (and RHETORIC only) as a huge aspect of their campaigns. Go look up Reagan and especially W. If that's you're differentiator then you have no differentiator. I'm not saying both parties are the same, you are. Pick some better things to hate about Trump lest you elect one of his thousand (slightly less rich) Democrat clones.

Very recently (after BLM) the Democrats have started becoming genuinely anti-racist with a few anti-establishment people. That's all cool and all but you can't pretend it's been a smooth ride and you def can't pretend it's the core identity of the Democrats. The tea partiers also we're first to do that kind of movement, though they were quickly destroyed, but if you want to give credit to true anti-racism you have to start there, which happened to be on the Republican side.

You're just talking about rhretoric though. It's so meaningless.

Claiming Trump's racism is what differentiates him from a Democrat is the biggest self own I can imagine. Don't you remember his taco salad tweet praising Mexicans? That's exactly the amount of feigned anti-racist rhetoric that the two parties have been using since the civil rights era. If that's what makes a Democrat, he absolutely is one.

His only political innovation was correctly guessing that now was the time to drop the facade, which I guess it how the two parties are defined now (pre- and post-facade)? Like I said, your unprincipled labels are absolutely insane and necessarily lead to fascism.

It might be more pronounced with libertarianism simply because it has a more strict definition than say "Democrat" or "Republican"

No, the definition is more precise, not more strict. All it means is an adherence to NAP. That idea in itself is very broad and widely appealing. All modern politics based off French revolutionary their uses it heavily. It's absolutely ridiculous and ignorant to say it's a fantasy. Especially in the US, the strongest and oldest of such governments.

Trump/Pence was a dem/rep combo and it dominated. The fact still remains that positive emotion defeats negative emotion, so having a split ticket like that will gain more votes overall than it turns off. Y'all would absolutely vote for Biden/Romney over Trump and it's not even necessarily a bad choice.

To even remotely approach libertarianism, you need to oppose the civil rights act, so that's a nonstarter in our dumb modern reactive political culture.

*random person suggests social security is bad*
Statists: Fucking wacko libertarians are ruining this country

*lifelong libertarian suggests black people are pretty ok*
Statists (and smuffin): See I told you libertarianism doesn't really exist

This is why y'all are so easily convinced to vote for fascists. You have no regard for consistent labeling, even though labels are everything to you. Anyone can get your vote with a fresh coat of paint. You make fun of muffin but at least he follows his principles - hating minorities and single mothers - regardless of what it's called. (Obviously if your principles lead you to nazism, you should rethink them, but without a consistent method, you won't even know when that happens.)

The moral degradation of the US isn't the sole cause, but it contributed
Sure, but I'm rejecting both the fact that the moral degradation started in 2016 (or even 2001 if you want to be Bush focused), AND the notion that the US has led or driven this movement.

Bolsonaro is a good example. Now that Trump is around people put a spotlight on him and pretend nationalism there burst from a volcano in the last 2 years. But I've been watching my family there talk about fascism there for 20+ years. The US is very much a follower in this movement.

Now, if you were arguing that US free market capitalism could have prevented these things, I would agree... If the US still represented that abd didn't super fall behind Scandinavia etc on that.

If you're still holding onto US exceptionalism and neoliberal supremacy sure. 1 million Obamas (who is your idea of competent/moral) couldn't prevent it. The better question to ask is how much the status quo notion of morality caused the current backsliding.

One thing I have yet to see anybody answer about M4A is how many people its going to put out of work.
It's fucking good

This is the core problem of progressive statists though. They have no trust in market forces, so they have no way to justify their ambiguous govt manipulation of the market. How can you judge the pros/cons for using $1 tril to kill the health insurance industry, when you have no economic foundation to base arguments from? When you can't even argue against the broken window fallacy, how do you change ANYTHING?

That's why Bernie's plans can at best be a repeat of Obamacare, shackled by the realities of the economy that no one dares to acknowledge.

But if you just admit that the market will sort this out (reallocating unemployed workers), inject some market-based welfare (ubi) where necessary, then all the weaknesses melt away. You can tell when a progressive doesn't truly care about improving the world when they care more about their anti-capitalist image than strengthening their policies.

No republican would ever mention nepotism, for that reason. It's not about nepotism, it's about Biden giving his family unfair benefits. They are really careful about how they generalize the problem, because if they criticize the system, it's 100% self-destructive. Which is why no Trump supporters (even the super smart and reasonable Seph and Corrik) have even 1 argument that is not party tribalism at its core. No arguments that would not be flipped 180 degrees if the parties switched.

you can say it's the quid pro quo but that's the same way perjury was the crime with Bill: we all can see the underlying reason and that it's bullshit
It's not though, you (and most people) just don't give a shit about why the systems are in place. It's the same weak argument as Gabbard's no vote.

The entire point of impeachment is that it can only used on very specific high crimes that damage the office of the presidency. It has nothing to do with judgment of a president. Causing a great depression is not impeachable. Rallying for nazis to shoot up journalists in not impeachable. Assassinating American citizens by executive order is not impeachable. But despite how stupid it sounds, lying under oath about a blowjob IS 1000% unambiguously by definition grounds for impeachment.

You might think that secretly trading US foreign aid in exchange for personal political favors is as harmless as lying about a blowjob, but it still is unambiguously an abuse of the office of the presidency. That's it. If the house ignores it, like they did all the other impeachable offenses, then they are failing their most basic job.

So you're right that it's bullshit that this is the first issue the house actually moved to impeach on. It should have been way, way earlier. But that doesn't change that this issue needed to be impeached.
