The animated movie made from it was one of DC's better ones as well.

Charlie Kirk wouldn't want us to blame this groyper gang violence on the guns he loved more than life itself (at least other people's lives)

They trust the billionaire sociopath owned media to alert them.
They don't realize that media consolidation has metastasized main stream coverage into whatever combination of ignoring facts and promoting propaganda that serves a short sighted and vile ruling class best.
I hope they land on their feet but forced game play strategy and rug pull civilizations make Civ 7 so great that I'll never need anything else from firaxis to complete my Civ 7 experience.

It will be the conduit for many billions of dollars spent by America's enemies to loot, weaken, and destroy the country but it has no intrinsic value.
Great friends. They go together like Jack Spratt and his wife.

The MAGA label that many cruel ignorant bigots now use didn't change anything about that.
A very sound approach, I miss doing that with Gene Wolfe.

Just an irredeemable discourse parasite.
Growing up with barely 90% of all forms of representation in politics and entertainment being for cishet white males like me left so many scars.
