In one corner, cultural identity, a shared, commonly accepted fantasy, a set of semi-arbitrary rules for a role-playing game.

- Florin_Andrei 10y agoWell... maybe. Sort of. But not really. It's satire. It's a way of cranking up the Sharpen filter all the way to 100, to make things more obvious. Clearly the contradiction right now is not as bad as that - but it could be, there are future timelines that could be conceived in ways similar to that. What I'm saying is - there's a dystopia in the future that looks like that. Let's make sure we don't take the wrong fork in the multiverse road and end up there somehow.
