'hope you know what the song means'


First verse is about guilt not based on evidence or reason, but because an authority said so, with no particular reason in mind.

Rebellion is wild, uncontrolled, a simpler change is preferred, but if necessary...
To be close to the tree is to join rebellion, for it is what oppressive cultural authority hates. In the case I'm trying to paint here, I'm _certainly_ not saying get bricks and start smashing windows (violent + diverse-over-skill leads to worst ending), but to do some other kind of change. (On the flip side however, a totally non-diverse cast which doesn't value their actual usefulness over who they are also leads to a bad ending--some of the 'diverse' members are in fact, best for what they're there for. But not _always_.)

"Big Brother" of sorts demands that you view the execution as a warning, as some threat and that you'll prioritize your safety over your freedom.

The song ends with a "call to arms" of sorts, to join the rebellion and fight for freedom.







considering my game is all about the inherent fallacies of progressivism and socjus, (more specifically, authoritarian leftism, these are all synonyms anyway, it's all the same), where you, the player, are a living legend made victim by social justice (or, to avoid being called the very thing I'm complaining about, a metaphor for social justice), it would fit pretty well, actually.

I'm still just outlining stuff, making a couple placeholder models, and just barely getting the engine together, but in ~6 years it'll be done or so maybe.


i don't intend to target a kiddie audience lol. The whole project is a ~4 hour "rant" on culture, intended to be a sort of 'demo' for a much longer and larger "rant" on culture. Hence why a game and not a novel or short movie, because echo chambers will fuel profits which will fuel budget which will fuel a better game, and repeat.

If I feel overwhelmed by making the engine from scratch, then I'll just (grudgingly) resort to Unity or something, **ideally** a fork of Torque for Linux or Godot.

Art is for dissent, no?

i haven't calmed down since 2007, and I don't think I ever will until social justice is completely purged from society -- oh it's something inherent and ingrained because I want to promote the furthest opposite of something I had to put up with as a kid.
Well, maybe not **furthest**, but you know what I mean.


Truth be told, I wouldn't mind a certain school district bleeding *a lot* of money and ending a *lot* of careers.

Hey, free college for me if I would have sued. I won't go into details, but my god I *really* hate that woman: it's a grudge that the day it ends is probably the day I die.





what do you know: stick enough uranium together in a pile, and it gets *really* hot, *really fast*, all by itself.
The problem is that uranium is fairly rare, but it produces **a lot** of heat** when put together just right.

Konami doesn't contribute to that pile, ROBLOX doesn't contribute to that pile, hell Obama doesn't contribute to that pile; the only things that do consist of social justice, anyone saying **anything** positive about that principal, and the damn 'diversity for diversity's sake' being shoved down throats.

You're calling out progressivism, Harb?

Oh God, you're that kind of person.

Truman was a progressivist, Harb.

It's all about how 'wahh give X this because they're Y',

Not because of fairness or anything

It's against freedom and it's against any system in which those who have the capability can go, it's a form of extreme leftism that's essentially synonymous with SJWism, because anything on the left, by definition, must be synonymous with SJWism.

I'm not referring to progressivism in the historical context, but how it's defined today, and I'm **certainly** not siding with the white robe people, because that's an equal evil.

i don't see how you'd say being against social justice warriors must mean siding with white robe people at all

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
[Original line:] Wear a necklace of rope,
[Line modified for effect:] Wear a necklace of hope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Well, I agree that we can't give all our tax payer money to completely hold someone else, but, your idea that it's "good" to not give them anything at all (because this is what you're implying by "waah give X this because they're Y") is just the average conservative selfish idea.
