I'd agree Hartmann chose the title as a form of clickbait, but the first Enlightenment isn't all yt culture cracks it up to be either
Nothing against Science, but the centralization of Reason provided cover for Colonialism & Empire in a very similar way that the rise of AI gives #TechBros cover for their #Neofeudal #AnCap agenda
So much to unpack here: the sons of the #American Enlightenment valued #virtue, in a callback to the ancient #pagan republics of #history.
Also, Crusader states are not - and have never been - sustainable.
Eschatologists and #neofeudal #reactionaries have become a cancer on the Republic.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
The founders’ version of #memes and trash talk involved making obscure references to orators, philosophers, senators, consuls, and generals of the ancient republics. https://inaniludibrio.com/2024/05/19/if-you-can-keep-it-from-caesar-and-catiline/ #history #culture #philosophy #Renaissance #SPQR #American #shitposting
Pretty shure #Trump's Regime will fall face-first into disarray if they gut the #IRS and basically deprive the Government of tax income.
It appears the #NeoFeudal #oligarchs have advanced their strategy of immolating the #AdministrativeState underpinned by the 13th through 19th Amendments of the #American Constitution.
Well-played good sirs of the Federalist Society.
The Founders would have spit in your #Ubermensch faces.
#Nietszche lampooned the #Christofascists
The end of the American Experiment is the Republic as a client state with #Putin as the patron sponsor.
It's a wild chapter of #history.
Write it all down.
That's the objective of the #NeoFeudal #oligarchs who appear to have advanced their strategy of immolating the #AdministrativeState underpinned by the 13th through 19th Amendments of the #American Constitution
What made #DnD5E great was simplification. What is killing #DnD5E is increasing complexity.
Good #RPG game design is fundamentally incompatible with the #neoliberal #neofeudal quest for #monopoly revenues and profits derived from #ownership of intellectual #property.
The #TTRPG industry is primarily a cottage industry precisely because a good game depends on a #ruleset which doesn't impede the #storylives of the #PlayerCharacters.
