Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
I think the likelihood of real world powers starting an actual 1v1 these days is pretty low, but you never know what could happen. It's possible North Korea just go hard for real and try to nuke South Korea and the planet goes mental.

i remember growing up the killing fields of 1994. sucking back poison gas in the trenches and hoping to join all of my friends in the sweet embrace of death. so that maybe i wouldn't have to go to bed hungry and covered in lice again.
