Greetings, NPCs

A sort of game.

Our resident NPC pet is currently experiencing a problem. They feel dehumanised by the 'NPC meme' currently going around, and they wish to slay a dragon to prove their status as an honourable person. How should they proceed?

Choose one option in the comments:

a) Proceed on a quest to the dragon's abode, by starting a trek up the dragon's treacherous mountain.
b) We should not focus on dragons. Only communist revolution will lead to a truly human society, and a full development of human nature. Foster revolutionary sentiment. Then the NPC will - by the dictates of humanist Marxism - truly assume their place as a human, even though they still wouldn't be human or persons.
c) Get offended.
d) It is hopeless to pursue the dragon, it is too fierce and will not be slain by such a frail attempt. In harmony with the dictates of anti-draconic nihilism, do not bother with fighting the dragon. Become pessimistic, and try to escape from your activist programming.
e) Gather resources for your trip to reach the dragon, allowing you to delay your encounter with the dragon until it appears vulnerable.
f) Lose track of your identity, because most people are NPCs.
g) Get offended.

Deus Wilt

The Catholic church's views on mastupration and other expressions of sexual desire lead to the following conundrum: the ordinary Catholic should marry and have sex, but they should not want to marry and have sex. They have, however, an easy solution which allows them to find an appropriately undesirable mate: marrying a Catholic.

In this simple solution, some might see the elegance of God's hand directing matters, and suggest that they have found a reason for why this Church - which claims to have killed the Cathars and declared Crusades - is to be sanctified and is not on any count to be abandoned.

God might love us all, but why do Christians speak as if they know exactly how God feels? It is because the Christian constructs God, only for God - with the help of his priests - to dismantle the Christian.

'Trust Our Corporation to Inform You'

One consequence of the modern centralization of the internet is the increasing role of corporations in censoring political ideas which they disapprove of.

Unlike the earlier so-called 'Wild West' of the 90's and early 2000's internet, with their profusion of personal web pages, forums, and people posting whatever they want, the modern internet is characterized by revolving around highly homogenized social media giants. This isn't entirely organic, as many of these webpages have run at a loss, and been propped up by speculative investors to monopolize an area of the internet. Sites like Reddit or Twitter are just another example of this, because they centralise the function previously played by forums and smaller online communities, in a way that leads to a corporate pseudo-monopoly being granted the keys to public discourse. After the spread of smartphones and social media led to widespread adoption of the internet among the masses, the internet has steadily declined into homogeneity, authoritarianism and conformity, just like the USSR descended into Stalinist famine and oppression after the Bolsheviks' populist revolution.

Unsurprisingly, there has been a recent trend of politically-motivated censorship on social media websites. This has been applauded by modern liberals, who claim to oppose corporations but in practice always walk in lockstep with them.

The recent move by corporations and their allied corporate-backed pseudo-liberal websites to bar disliked politics should be seen as disturbing. They have no right whatsoever to dictate people's politics or to make political statements, as they are themselves one of the bigger problems with modern politics.

We should not be encouraging (as some 'leftists' do) this setting up of monopolising corporate ideology as the standard of political acceptability in various channels of communication. Calling Trump 'fascist' is not only blatantly false, but has become a justification for liberals to support widespread corporate censorship. That is merely ignorance and alarmism which ignores the bigger picture.
