Anything that riles up fascists is worth spending your time on.

i find rabid communists funnier to rile up, personnally. all i have to do is call them right-wing and i can roast marshmallows of the fumes they're emitting.

... i've got a sick sense of humor.

Yeah but Mussolini never ran 4 businesses into the ground before deciding to run for leader.
Mussolini ran a country to the ground.

I hear Italian fascists get riled up if you insult Mussolini. But you know what, I think actual history is the greatest insult to Mussolini.

And economics.

You know, UP, sometimes you and I are on the same wavelength, however briefly.

Actual history is indeed one of the greatest insults to economics.
Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

Actually, I mean that economics are an insult to Mussolini.

Eh, in that case you could get economists to write a hit piece on any historical bad guy.

Theirs is the domain of cooking up apologetics to prop up the whims of the wealthy elite.

I wonder who would win in a fight between Superman and One Punch Man.

Either way, the writers would get a lot of hate mail.
Batman beat the Hulk (because he is more popular) in a Marvel vs DC comic. By that logic Superman would win. (And honestly Saitama would just be glad that he finally met someone who is stronger than him.)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Besides the fact that the greatest of all superheroes is just a better character.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Hannibal Barca?

I'm baffled as to how anyone can deny global warming.

Like, is it just that people hate to imagine that they should change anything n their lives? Or do they just not understand what science is and assume G-d is the only source of authority?

The most radical deniers love the End Times-feel of it all. They want things to go to shit cuz Jeebus.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

The writer, as it grows and learns, goes out and eats the world, eats the people, eats the stories, eats itself. It all is digested, it fills the writer and develops its body and mind.

It all churns inside the writer's stomach, out of sight and out of reach but its movements can still be felt within. The sway has its own gravity, the writer can only position itself to perhaps alter its flow, or take medicine if it gets painful. And sometimes, it comes out. Like vomit that can only be held back so far, it comes out when it comes out.  And when it comes out, the writer can only try its best to make the expulsions make a picture that looks like a picture and not a chaotic mess of splotches.

The sight of the pre-existing vomit stains on the curb only adds to the churning within, and so the picture becomes fuller. Sometimes, there's a splotch that juts out and clashes with the rest, and so the writer either looks at the vomit until it makes sense again, fills out the gaps between the stains with paint or washes off the offending section.

Writing is vomit. Or at least mine is.

...but, like, in a good way.

Another random thought: FQA as a JRPG.

Naturally, Kradorex Xeron is the setting's god (which means that they get their ass kicked at the end XD).

It'd be the only JRPG where the party actually gets smaller as the game progresses.

Now I'm just thinking who the requisite animu rival character would be... UP, maybe? He even has that "I'll be back" thing going on.
