    By "story of porn", I'm not sure if you mean when porn was first made or the plot of a porn story. If the latter, some eroge plots are often better than the average American TV drama. Of course, that's why I often call hentai (eroge, as opposed to nukige) erotica, rather than "porn", but I digress.

    Well, you opened sadpanda (twitter) to jerk off, right. If you're forced to have a mental process longer than three pages while the act is set up, it might ruin your boner (to own the libs).

    WTF are you talking about?
    1) I thought that sad panda was exhentai. What does that have to do with Twitter?
    2) Who the hell uses Twitter to jerk off?
    3) 3 pages? In a VN? That's not a useful measure, depending on font type and size.
    4) Set up? The load time? No, you wait until it's finished loading.
    5) Not sure why you're talking about boners and "libs" in the same sentence. Are you being figurative in the former? And as for "libs", when have I ever used that word (barring quoting others)? I'll wait. Unlike most, I know the difference between true liberalism and leftists' soft totalitarianism.

    He is saying that Twitter is to politics what sadpanda is to hentai.
    Because you are too young. Or too stupid. Or both.

    I'll assume that sad panda means exhentai. Given this, no. Exhentai is a great repository for hentai, barring works that are removed for what are apparently copyright claims. Twitter is a terrible representation of politics. In that same vein, a pox upon those market analysts who think it properly represents what people want in games, anime, etc.

    Yeah, if you want to read a real manga, you go buy it, or at least use a site meant for it. You're gonna spend a while over that book.

    Similarly, you don't go to Twitter to obtain insight into the subtle nooks of your country's future, you go there to yell you're angry about nazis. And not even a forum like this is frankly big enough for that kind of talk, you just get a more elaborate form of a twitter post. So, rather than a discussion, what can be observed in the latest 100 posts before mine is a form of aimless venting - like what you'd see on Twitter.

    Isn't how preventing democracy from becoming a playground for the rich and powerful an unending war where people should never conceit? I mean having just two parties to choose from doesn't sound very good to me. They fed you with whatever they want, people accepting it like drones, and history repeats.

    The make believe that you have a choice doesn't make it better than having no choice at all.

    BTW, I don't think there is some sort of conspirancy of the rich and powerful to keep the poors down, just a very bad mix of corruption, greed, self-interest, and general idiocy.

    Yes, but here's the thing; actually fixing that problem means one of two things:
    1. Having a completely grassroots movement that competes and wins against the oligarchy in spite of all their advantages.
    2. Revolution that will almost certainly ruin the economy, leaving the surviving population left to squat in the ruins, poor and starving, and beholden to whatever external powers backed the winner. And also a higher likelihood that such a victor will be even more authoritarian than the previous system due to having seized power through violence and needing to maintain that force to stay in power.


    These aren't guaranteed, but they're probably the most realistic outcomes. The only alternative is reforming one of the parties into something not corrupt and exploitative. Good luck with that.

    Isn't rxrx a Communist Chinese spy? I'm sorry. "representative". That's literally what happened there. After being physically raped by Mongols and Manchurians, China allowed itself to be mentally raped by the Russians (also physically, too, though). They then went around and labeled those same Russians "revisionists".

    Hit the nail on the head. The thing about grassroots movements is that they are carried out in person.

    Meanwhile, the fundamental problem with American democracy is artificiality. Absence of humanity at highest levels, and now with Corona the lowest ones also. When democracy had started in a city with a few thousand people, they'd get together from the corners of the country, drink together and talk about stuff and at the end of the day the people with something to say would speak their propositions and grievances. While this was happening they'd be confronted with each other emotionally and if somebody was a sociopath it'd probably be pretty well known in that regard. In that environment it would be harder to silence someone from speaking things you don't want to hear. Everyone was more mindful of not pissing each other off, not creating lasting favors they could be reminded of or grudges that would stay with them for a lifetime.

    As the society grows, this does not necessarily disappear - in fact, plenty of countries are still that way. Ideally the elected officials would speak with the people and pass the notable things they heard on, with some bias here and there, but ultimately the history of the country would be decided by the human element. That's because in such places, the leading ideal of the country is something like family, or way of life, or even national pride. Something emotional, anyway.

    But America is not exactly like that, America happens to worship democracy as an ideal, alongside an individual's freedom, and that's precisely the problem. You can worship God, and you can worship the king, and you can worship freedom, but the moment you elect a system over your head, you're already condemning yourself to slavery. A machine is just a machine, it will eventually get stuck or start working wrong. In that context its natural to wind up treating people as objects - parts of the machine, or the materials and products of it. If in theory there was an outside engineer capable of fixing it, their human value would be incomparably higher than anything within the machine, which is why advanced political systems like communism tend to ban engineers and the machine eventually rusts away.

    This is something that'd be generally accepted in America, because of how huge it is - you can still speak to each other in person, so you can feel free. Now that's no longer the case. Now you are limited to a trickle of data that does not remotely carry people's true feelings over, where it does not matter if you anger someone, or look stupid. Your society has become 4chan. You can say what you want, because nothing you say matters anymore. Now you are actually subject to laws without honor or humanity. Good luck with that.

    Well, exhentai has the function of allowing one to "preview" VNs, as well, at least ones that don't file any copyright things. Non-nukige VNs, as I mentioned before.

    You had a 2-week long nervous breakdown because some Confederate statues were torn down and now you're playing at some metaphysical analysis that we're all fools because, in the end, it is all meaningless? Methinks you're lagging behind a bit on the old self-awareness

    While America strongly encourages common citizens to vote, China is literally preventing legislators from physically appearing to vote:

    No commie cockroach has any right to criticize the American voting process.

    America does not "strongly encourage common citizens to vote" prominent Republicans are actively calling on electors to just cast votes for Trump to the Electoral College as that is their constitutional duty and the votes cast by the people are merely "suggestions" which can be ignored. America has an awful voting system.

    All those ads during election season say otherwise. They're borderline spam.
