Our explanations for the behavior of outsiders say more about our beliefs than theirs.

Even explanations that feel correct to us are almost certainly wrong in important ways.

There's plenty of scholarship on the various reasons people support fascism, that's probably your best chance for a full answer.

70% of OF performers are women - I'd wager that's why people are assuming a female subject.

Faith and Spike were the much cooler bearded-evil-dimension versions of Buffy and Angel, for sure.

Part of the issue is that elites have already bought into the coup. You don't eviscerate the US government without making sure the rich are on side first.

That's why so many CEOs publicly made gestures of support for trump just before and after the election.

The only way to stop the fascists who already have control of the courts, the government and the rich would be mass mobilization of a significant % of the population, or a military counter-coup.

spiritual whiplash

Some kind of christian or tradwife influencer?

Remember that religion is mostly grifting and the best grifters earnestly believe their patter.

I watched for Willow, Giles, Cordelia and Spike.

I used to joke that spike should vamp faith, then together they kill buffy and rename the show: Faith and Spike, the Vampires.

As a Buffy fan I'm quite excited. But sarah michelle gellar is just not a drawcard for me. What's to be excited about? She played the least interesting character and did a mostly adequate job of it.

Elon's cash for votes scheme, the amount of russian money and planning on one side, plus there's a decent chance that the fascists just committed direct electoral fraud as well.

It's a fascist coup.

They took control of the judiciary some time ago, they recently seized the executive and now they're destroying any remaining institutional power that can oppose them.

The current regime is not legitimate.

It's not really a right wing culture war at this point, they're trying to destroy any source of information not controlled by the rich fascists who've seized control of the state.

Apologies, it's only 4 Xs, not 5. Also it was vin diesel rather than the rock.

Searching for "Xtreme street luge rpg" gets me a drivethru and RPG geek link, among others.

One of the most fun ttrpgs I've played was XXXXXtreme Street Luge.

It's a game about the underground street luge racing scene. There are no rules for street luging. Every scene takes place in a character's mom's basement, after a race. Everyone roasts each other for their street luging.

You have a stat for how much like dwayne the rock johnson your character is. If you're actually dwayne the rock johnson IRL, you can max the stat. A rule specifies that.
