  • Mace (technically a brand, the generic term is "OC-spray") is very good as a non-lethal self-defense option. Don't let weird myths about "immunity" fool you either, 99% of people are very much not immune to that shit.

  • Wrestling / BJJ and boxing, with an emphasis on defensive skills (footwork, head movement, stopping takedowns, clearing collar-ties, getting up quickly, etc.).

    The value of unarmed self defense in a world with weapons is that you aren't guaranteed a clean draw of your weapon, so having something to bridge the gap can be helpful. That's really all though -- beyond that weapons are entirely superior, with a little asterisk next to knives because it's too easy for a stronger person to turn your own knife against you.

  • I'm increasingly inclined to characterize it as "Fascism is neoliberalism when it doesn't have its shit together."

  • Neoliberalism is arguably the worst ideology to come out of the 20th century. Death to capitalism, but death to neoliberalism especially so.

  • Fuck the person who made that comment, literally every point I'm just like "Bitch do you know anything about life under Batista?"

  • The most influential game of the 2010s was the mobile game "Clash of Clans", or at least this Jim Sterling video makes that case:

    *EDIT: That's a bad thing, btw. I'm basically agreeing with you and adding this.
