You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I want the magical girls in this thing I'm writing to not have secret identities or transformation sequences but just go around in their magical girl costumes full-time

@Odradek: I would say Karl Marx is a bit more like Jerry Garcia and Kropotkin is Santa Claus but that's just me. The Wittgenstein/Laurie and Nozick/Clooney things are kind of eerie, though, and the Camus/Dean one is... unfortunate, yet appropriate.

I feel like "liberal" is becoming to tumblr marxists what "prog" is to nerd fascists and insight wankers, and "pronatalist" was to antinatalists. Treating everyone outside of the clique as a subscriber to a monolithic yet ill-defined ideology.

Or "liberal" to, y'know, really conservative people.
