r/50501

What the movement needs is real action, disruption, true acts of civil disobedience and more discrete actions in total opposition of the regime. There’s slew of words I won’t use as I don’t want to banned but these are the next steps, these discreet underground actions. Collaborative, secret, disruptive in total opposition to the status quo and powers that be.

I’m in the 50 peso camp I have the others and been wanting a Centenario for many years.
r/50501

NO It doesn’t need that. It needs real action; civil disobedience, general strike, BREAK THE MACHINE. Until then it’s useless, powerless and impotent. There’s no point in doing the same fucking thing repeatedly and hoping for different results. The movement needs to adapt, adjust and DISRUPT.
r/50501

It’s more than marketing OP, there’s no call to action. Until the movement makes demands and repercussions it’s literally useless circle jerking with fellow disgruntled do-nothings.

I agree on all of that, Banks has better prose and Reynolds world-building is top shelf. I honestly couldn’t push through Pushing Ice, lol. I’ll have to give a go another time, I kept yawning and putting it down and eventually dnf’d with my tbr pile literally figuratively taunting / tempting me.

As far AT’s catalogue make sure to stay away from Bear Head, probably avoid Dogs of War altogether otherwise everything sci-fi by him is gtg. The Expanse, Hyperion, Bobiverse, Murderbot, very few sci-fi I’ve read have sex scenes.

Alright, yeah 13 years isn’t the same time period. It’s close but not the same, for some reason that scenario got stuck in my head. Reynolds likely read Banks years before writing RS, good point.

Same, class of 88.

A few things here, why do the gun communities point these “gotchas” out like they actually mean anything? Who tf cares the semantics of it? So these fools don’t know the difference between semi and full auto but their intention is the exact same, it’s not a fucking “gotcha”. I understand the guntards glorifying the foolishness but here on this sub, where there’s (supposedly) more critical thinking, we have no need to conflate this silliness. Also with FRTs, binaries, Super Safeties, bump-stocks, there’s no relevant difference. It’s a dumb af nothing burger. Fuck the ATF and NFA and every dumbfuck Dem who’s trying to use the 2A as a wedge, pushing those of us on the left further away.
