shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

I hope not. Things were bloodier than any of us would have liked (well, possibly not Tainell himself) at the beginning, but it's settled down quite a bit, and ... we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion and the like. I wouldn't say I could predict the future, but really, you have to be a pretty terrible person to get yourself executed here.

 

You say tyranny like it's a bad thing.

*claps Ford on the shoulder*

I'm the tyrant, not him.

 

Hee! It all depends on if you're perfect, Tainell!

 

Of course I am.

 

No, Tainell, you're not. But we love you anyway.

 

Bzzzzzt!

But, I tease. A tyrant spreads their biases over society, but anarchy is only viable in small communities, and can sour even then. No perfect solution! I was mostly joking that 'Peace through Tyranny' is the motto that launched a 4 million year long war and caused the xenocide of hundreds of species. What peace! What tyranny!

 

Tainell likes pretending to be a worse person than he is because he believes that assholes are only restrained by the presence of what they believe are bigger assholes.

 

Um, you know there's options other than anarchy and tyranny, right?

 

Ex-cuuuuuse me for not pointing out flaws in thousands of separate governmental systems.

 

What peace?
What tyranny?
There are worse things than war.
But not as many as people who like throwing wars would like you to think.

 

*laughs* Seriously? You think you're perfect? Seriously?

That's bullshit. If you were really perfect, well, you wouldn't have broken up with Sunshine. *sighs* Honestly, it's hard to believe that you actually did that. Sunshine's... Sunshine's wonderful and I'm so glad to have him. And well... I don't think you appreciated him properly.

 

Well, Megatron sure brought peace to all those species he wiped out, after a brief but intense period of war...

Peace! What a cube of scrap!

 

Ah.

It seems that I've picked an awkward time to attempt to meet others. Very awkward. My apologies for that.

 

Megatron sounds SUPER COOL! How many species did he wipe out?

 

I'm not the only party to this conversation to have broken up with Sunshine. But if you appreciate him properly and I did not, then I made the right decision by breaking up with him, didn't I? And so did Stanford.

 

It's always awkward here. At least Bill isn't hanging around.

Anyhow, we've met before. You're staying in my house!

 

Hey we didn't really like the war much.
Revolution is rarely without bloodshed, as I've gathered you are well acquainted with.
It just... got a bit out of hand.

 

I don't think that's the Torisen who's staying in our house, dear. Remember how Cecil and Carlos were so convinced that they knew you, and that Carlos had studied with you? But they didn't. And then there are the incestuous space pirates.

 

Can we not discuss the incestuous space pirates.

 

Sorry, Captain, I call scraplets on that!
