>existential threat.
Yeah, but the American soldiers who lost in Vietnam also fought despite Vietnam posing any serious existential threat. The point is that he has a foot in the human world, he is operating for the American state, and this highlights that.
This is the point, he acts like a fucking midwit burger except he's invincible now. Other than acting cold what fucking effect did being privy to every fucking secret of the universe have on Dr. Manhattan?
This is why Greek and Christian Gods are so timeless. They don't have these yawning gaps in their own logic.
I get that sacrificing a a few 100 thousand people might be justified to prevent a nuclear war that kills billions but the Vietnam War was a farcical war that MILLIONS OF PEOPLE KNEW AT THE TIME.
Regular comics avoid these problems by having their own made up politics.
One critic I linked said that Moore has a nostalgia for Nixon and even Reagan to an extent. This rings true and is the only explanation for Moore's confounding choices for his alternative history.
Many Anarchists harbor have this reactionary sympathy for fascists. And it's in Moore's comics. They're like Pit Mommies that think prejudice against their dangerous dogs are allegories for prosecution of marginalized people.
I agree with Moore's subtext that it's silly to think that super hero's with the power to shape society would be good and ethical because, well just because! But then he makes equally absurd claims that superheroes would all be irredeemable asswipes because society mmaaaaaaan.

I see you haven't been paying attention about what the car industry is doing lately. They won't let you have control over your car. They have put spyware into the car computers that betray your privacy. And they have started putting malicious features into cars that will eventually grant the car company remote-control access that can take over your car to the point it might just refuse to do your bidding or drive off on it's own entirely. You might have payed for a car but you're not going to own it.

If you care about having control over your life, cars aren't interesting anymore.
Car producers have lost it, if you want to own a car you need to have the facilities to either maintain an old-timer or extensively modify a new car. Like rip out most of the factory default electronics/computers and replace them. That requires serious car-enthusiast level commitment.

It might get better in about 10 years or so.
That's when the current EVs will have worn out their battery-packs.
The Car industry won't make replacement battery packs for those, because that's less profitable than selling entirely new cars.
Those "Low-battery EVs" will become worthless, and they'll become super-cheap on the second hand market.
That will make it worth refurbishing these by putting in new 3rd-party battery packs, with 3rd party power-controllers.
Refurb-EVs will loose all the fancy features like driver assist and so on, and they won't have crazy acceleration anymore, because 10 year old cars only warrant the most rudimentary possible refurbishment parts.
But there's a reasonably good chance that they won't have any user-betrayal-features either.

Hello comrades. ITT we talk about what we are doing to improve ourselves. I'll go first:

I am trying to quit smoking. This is probably my sixth attempt but I am going to try and take it more seriously this time.

I have been cutting down for the past few months and had gotten down to 3 cigarettes a day but when I tried to quit earlier this week I ended up buying a pack at the end of the first day and smoking the whole thing that night out of anxiety about quitting.

I am a drug addict in recovery and this leaves coffee and kratom as the two substances I can use. The kratom seems to help with cigarette cravings or at least incentivizes smoking because I feel sick when I smoke on it. I might try NRT too. I am going to try and get back into running too since that helped me get off heroin the first time.

How do I stop being mentally weak? Everytime that someone asks me to justify my opinions I become a bumbling mess, embarrass myself, realize the answer to their question a moment later, then the cycle repeats. This same social anxiety gets in the way of attempting to construct a mass line as well.

Anybody else masturbate? If you don't I think you should give it a try. It's pretty fun and it feels really nice once you get the hang of it. I bet even Stirner enjoyed stroking the ol' unique property if you catch my drift

Jacking off isn't really a hobby unless you're serious about it. For example, I like to live dangerously, so I've jacked off in all sorts of places where it is not the best solution to pass the time. In a ditch? Jacked off. In a combat vehicle? Jacked off. But my favorite challenge is the porta john challenge. What you do is go to a training area with blistering heat, make sure you consume lots of caffeinated drinks, against all known advice and directions by your superiors. Once there, break out the ol' phone and start looking at your favorite porn and start jacking off inside the porta john. If you manage to finish before you pass out, you win, and if you don't, then you're probably going to die with your dick in your hand. Bonus points for your corpse being found with the most disturbing porn ever. Also, your battery will severely degrade from such usage, so make sure you budget for a new phone.

ITT post practical survival, self-sustenance and cost-cutting tips, not utterly useless political/macroeconomic/philosophical theory (that you will never be able to implement anyway because you are just plebeian on the internet, not part of the ruling class) and whining that you see on /leftypol/

The target audience can range from scavenging hobos to minimum wagers to landowners with no mortgages.
