Voting for Biden is providing support for Biden’s platform. It is telling him that not even a genocide will make you stop voting for him. He doesn’t have to listen to you. He won’t listen to you. Because he knows he’s got you anyway.

I listened in 2020. I voted for Biden even though he didn’t align with my positions, because he was better than Trump. I would have held my nose and voted for him after he kept building that fucking wall. I would have dragged myself to the booth after he declared an active pandemic over for political reasons. But I will not keep voting for him after a genocide. This isn’t a matter of ick, this is a matter of basic humanity. There is some evil I cannot support even to stop a greater evil. Because if this isn’t our line, what is?

This year, I’m voting for the most popular candidate who doesn’t support a genocide. That is my sole issue. If you want me to vote for Biden, help me convince the fucker that I’m serious instead of trying to convince him I’m as flaky as you lot.

By existing as a citizen in and paying taxes to the imperial core, we automatically hold complicity in imperialist oppression because we are literally footing the bill for it. That is just the basic nature of being born to privilege in systems of oppression in general. We can be disadvantaged and marginalized in every single other consideration and we still have to understand and cope with this, and ensure we leverage it as effectively as possible.

Voting abstinence/sabotage does not absolve us of our responsibility to do everything in our power to lessen harm, but it DOES show that when our personal morals aren't satisfied, we retreat into (imperialist, this time) privilege to 'wash our hands' of the situation and declare it's not our fault and it's not our problem.

Il Siracusano’s gameplay really disappointed me. The story was fantastic, but Blood Debt just felt like a thing that was there. You can’t really mitigate it except by protecting civilians, and you can’t really play around it. It’s like an annoying version of Imprisonment from Mansfield.

I think one thing that would really have fixed things would have been giving it an interaction with Silence and Stun. Like, make it go harder in general, but if you’ve stunned an enemy they don’t increase Blood Debt when they die, and make all the moves that increase able to be silenced. Not only would that be more interesting to play with, but it’d also be thematic. Texas’ signature moves inflict stun, and Lappland is the queen of silence; they’re the ones who know how to deal with the mafiosi.
