“The CIA; not some fantasy equivalent… the ACTUAL CIA…”

So many people think that when Trump leaves his mortal boil things will “get better”.
But actually, what are the odds that the next sellout-in-chief will be as stupid as Trump? We’re just getting started
I have to say Trump is a fairly unique distillation of every aspect of American society that Americans don’t like to admit they have. He has plenty of vain, self-serving sycophants under him that could take his place, but I will say there are very few who have the same mix of incompetence, shamelessness and charisma draw for a certain populace.
I like to say he is America’s Id made manifest.
I feel like you just jinxed us with a Joe Rogan presidency. WTF, dude.
People underestimate the influence a single person can have on history. Without Hitler, there would have been no Nazi Germany. Without Trump, the Nazi movement in the US will fall apart. They’re certainly not going away but without a Führer they’ll just be a bunch of bickering factions. And none of the other fuckers will be able to rally their base the way Trump did.
There might very well still have been something else bad. The discontent was there, if hitler hadn’t been the one to utilize it, it could’ve been someone else. Same with trump. There’s still a good chance that whoever would win the power struggle if the orange suddenly croaked had none of the apparent charisma of trump (not that I think he has any but it clearly works on a lot of people). Fascism is a personality cult, and just replacing that isn’t a given, but the initial rise heavily selects for someone who is able to create one. So if not them, it’d likely have been someone else maybe a little later.
Germany might have ended up with some different form of fascism without Hitler. But I doubt things would have turned out quite as badly. Which is pure speculation, of course. Also, there may be another fascist leader after Trump. But again, I doubt he’ll have the same kind of following.
Accurate typo is accurate.
A lot of folks don’t really think about it. A man could be gone, but his ideas and legacy will live on. We are short term thinking and instinctive animals prone to collective suicide.
The CIA tried 307 times to kill the demon Lord but it turned out every agent working on the demon file was actually a double agent, including the head of counterintelligence.

Look the only thing that matters if I get fucking Isekai’d is that I am a woman in that world. The governments can go fuck themselves if I get my wish, ain’t wasting time on being a fucking hero. Stop glorifying the hero grind and instead glorify whatever the hell having tea on the grass next to the (not polluted) Thames with a water rat and mole while wearing a cute sundress is.
I’m reminded of the manga (something about “I don’t really get it but I’m…) and she creates a bunch of horny toys and does yuri stuff.
I actually was going kind of the opposite direction than sex stuff, but you know, whatever floats your boat.
That last one, is sorta just GATE
Sorry no unsekai for you
Now that I think about it, are there any fantasy stories written from a marxist perspective with a focus on actual bottom-up revolution strategies?
I Was Reincarnated As A Sorcerer’s Apprentice Under Orders Of The CIA, Now I Infiltrate Student Organizations To Inform On Socialist Sorcerer Activists.
Is there a parody here? These just seem like completely normal anime titles to me.
Unexpected Laundry Files
The last one sounds like a modern manga title
thanks for reminding me to watch “how a realist hero rebuild the kingdom”
