Correct. Most states' laws do not envision the situation we are currently seeing, let alone what's coming.

Check your state. What constitutes harassment, and can you think of harassing things that could be done without violating the law? I can for my state.

They actively don't care unless it impacts their pilgrimage directly.

They want Jesus to come back, and they think one part of that is that Jews control the holy land.

They are actively harming the world because they truly believe that 1) humans cannot destroy God's creation, so 2) if we get close he'll have to step in and end the world and take them to the heaven that they refused to build here.

In what situation would it be appropriate, legal, and approvable to burn down civilian houses in an occupied area?

I can't think of one.

Sounds like a similar premise to Childhood's End.

Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They're bullies because they were bullied, and they don't want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.

They never stop to think, "What if the world weren't shit? What can I do to make it better?" They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.

When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.

I think you're right if the goal is to stop them all together.

But what we can do is stop people from sending them around and saying that it's true/actually the person.

Once they've turned it from a art project into a weapon, it should have similar consequences to "revenge porn."

Wonderful in theory, but in practice it's a dumpster fire. Quick, mainstreamm-acceptable takes are incentived, and nuanced, alternative viewpoints are nearly impossible.

If it were all for hobby stuff, it would be fine, but when this is how most people get their news, it's not good.

This. Cryptofascism relies on being able to scream, "It was just a joke / I didn't know!"

Mistakes can happen and you might accidentally engage in a dog whistle as a normal person.

A dozen mistakes all pointing to the exact same thing are unlikely.

And to be fair, it could be one person at the top putting all these wink wink indicators in, and the majority involved might just be normal folks.

I still won't be buying the game.

These folks won't witness it either. Not with that eye anyway.

Hello from kbin. It's nice over here.

Not the original person you responded to, but I type 120ish wpm. The trick is to try to tap into the same part of your brain that verbalizes words when you talk, rather than the part that composes stuff when you write.
