BLM + Trump vs Corruption of the State
What if I told you that despite the political narrative, BLM and Trump Voters were actually on the same side?
Excluding modern politics for a minute, we need to realize that the rise of popular movements in the US and around the globe are natural reactions against systemic corruption at the national, state, and local levels.
Corruption stinks. More than that, it’s a foul and putrid warning of something decaying around us. Like a dead mouse behind a wall, or three week old leftovers in the back of the fridge, our olfactory senses tell us that something is not right.
Collectively, almost subconsciously, our sense of right and wrong are screaming at us to take action. Grab the disinfectant and start cleaning up the embedded corruption.
This natural reaction gave rise to BLM this summer after the death of George Floyd. The video sparked outrage from everyone, regardless of race or creed. Police Chiefs across the US voiced their opinions that the officers involved should be indicted. It wasn’t until the marches turned to riots that people began to voice opposition to the movement.
In 2016, Trump stormed onto the political scene promising to ‘drain the swamp’ of corruption. He was an outsider to the embedded political process, and ran on that platform. As he picked up steam, the RNC hinted that they could refuse him the nomination even if he won the primaries. Trumps response was that ‘there will be riots in the streets’ if the RNC were to try and steal the nomination for another candidate.
I recently saw comment on the election results, and the shocking results that showed Trump still getting over 67 million votes. The comment from a democratic pundit was that ‘apparently we have 67 million racist in this country’. As someone who lives in a red state, I can assure you that the people around me who voted for Trump are not racist.
From the popularity of Bernie Sanders, to Occupy Wall Street, to Trump, to BLM, all of these populist movements are about the fighting of imbedded corruption within the system: The People vs The Corruption.
Where these movements differ is how they are perceived through the modern political lens on modern political media. That’s where they can divide the narrative, and pit these forces against one another, all the while never addressing the main problem of the deeply embedded, disease ridden virus of corruption.

Build 41 Megathread
Hi all,
Build 41 has been in testing for about a year now, so I decided to make a post with all the new features that were added, and a few more things!
What exactly is Build 41? Build 41 is the latest upcoming build, currently in testing. The update adds the long awaited animations to the game, and much,
much, more. The testing branch, called IWBUMS (I Will Back Up My Save Game) is available to all for playing around with!
Not sure how to get access to Build 41 IWBUMS?
Click here! Do note that multiplayer is not added yet for this version.
I have questions about the game! Where is the best place to seek answers? There's the discord, found here. If you prefer looking for an answer yourself you can always check out the
Wiki. Finally, every week there is a Megathread on this subreddit, where you can also ask any questions :)
