Zompist Bboard Again

It's not that the US "far left" is centrist, it's certainly leftist, but left-liberal at most (and, conversely, "left-liberals" are simply progressive centrists). And it's not like the US Overton window is extremely large either, it's just that there are two competing hegemonies,...

I'm pissed off that the right wing is using the Waukesha Christmas parade massacre as an excuse to attack Black Live Matter and the left in general while downplaying that the person who committed it is a serial domestic abuser, which ought to be far more relevant than that he posted some Black Live...

Unrelated, but I'm sick and tired of the culture war. Sometimes it feels like people have stopped caring about problems in their own country/region in the last 2 years, instead focusing only on the US.

The orthography is temporary.
(In-world, Viha is unwritten, though they are familiar with writing, since the language of a nearby civilization is written - most of the inscriptions are carved into stone or wood, hence the strange semantic extension.)
