  • Anyone got a breakdown on the lower symbols? I recognise shinji, and understand the general vibe of OP not getting to express their authentic self. I just don’t know the actual meaning of the symbols for the most part. I think I recognise the upper right in the box as an iconification of ostracization?

    I am mostly talking about where we currently are, now that fascists are in power. People will start having to make that mental decision. ‘Do I keep my head down, do I stand up and die, or do I just join the fascists and try to have a good life?’

    Neoliberalism doesn’t have any bearing on how things go next, IMO.

    Given the options of being beaten to death by fascists or being chastised by a communist while you beat them to death, people choose the latter. You will face severe hardship by moving left, but will face less hardship by moving right. Naturally, then, people will shift in the direction that makes their lives the least difficult in a given moment.

    Nope, the bi prefix meaning ‘two’ is almost always pronounced ‘bye’. Bicycle, bipolar, bisect, binary, bilingual, etc.

    Bicycle is extra messed up because you don’t pronounce the ‘cycle’ like ‘sigh cull’, you pronounce it ‘sickle’. So instead of ‘bee-sigh-cull’ it’s ‘bye-sickle’.
