Sometimes you have to tear the whole thing down when the rot gets too bad. I only hope it isn't as painful as possible and there is still something to put back together. -

History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. The same old lessons need to be relearned. You only get to hold people down as long as they believe they aren't being held down. Trump and Musk threaten to make the behind the scenes class struggle so preeminent and dominant that it stops being a struggle... and turns back into a war.
Rich people tend to do well... until they forget how terribly badly they are outnumbered. -

Just want to give a final verdict on Dungeon Crawler Carl through Book 7.
It's so good. And I've heard that the audiobooks are even better due to the voice acting.
The LitRPG nature of the series is always present, but it isn't at the forefront after book 3 or so. It provides the foundation for the story and helps provide plot points to move it forward, but in the end it is a much larger story.
It reminds me somewhat of Malazan in that the story and plot are one thing, but the theme is the important part.
It is hilarious though. Great fun. 9 out of 10. Tempted to reread immediately as I know I missed on little details that help make the story even better.
Can't wait for book 8.
godsdammit it's converting malazfans now????
It's so different as to not be comparable really. But there is a lot more than meets the eye at first glance. It definitely hand holds you through the first couple of books, but the universe blooms beautifully. -

And I keep coming back to the fact that none of your laws (be they from congress or otherwise) mean anything any all if they are not enforced. Yeah, Trump and Musk are breaking all kinds of laws I'm sure, but unless someone actually enforces the laws, they are toilet paper.
Your republic is dying and everyone who could be doing things to stop it... are just watching it burn.
....
But yeah, where are all the mass protests? I finally read about some protests today, but they were comparatively small. I thought masses of people out there love to protest? Are they already afraid that Trump will just have them shot? Use it as an excuse to seize even more power even more rapidly than he otherwise would?
....
(Kidding! Though the former might also be true---if you can find other people, and they're not armed too....)
Why no mass protests? Several reasons:
1. They haven't rounded up the right people yet.
2. Most of this is a bureaucratic coup that is way less tangible than #1.
3. This was predictable. What is predictable can be expected, and what can be expected can be shrugged at as inevitable.
Honestly our dumbasses voted for it. You get what you pay for, and we bought the easy answers and easy choices, the clever but simple justifications and easily glossed over lies.
We (some far more than others) deserve what we get.

I'm not actually sure where it is from. But I've seen the "poor man's idea of a rich man" quote used about Trump and his gaudy taste more than once.
