This is how it looks like when you share the same country with your enemy, pretending you're all the same.
Florentino Hurtado survived the attack but suffered serious injuries, including facial bruising, stitches, and head trauma.
His dementia worsened rapidly afterward. Before the attack he could recognize family members.
More about Luna. Before at 9 years old,, now at 12, and the demon responsible. Report from the dailymail, retrieved from behind the paywall.
If the government derives its power and legitimacy from the people it claims to represent and govern, then punishing the free speech of this sovereign annuls its legitimacy. Throughout history humanity suffered under tyrants and thieves, and never was a good reason found to tolerate their rule.

People who actually should get help from the government 👉
Not illegals and hostile foreigners.
Counter signal Jews and Muslims, raise the Christian Cross
Charlie Kirk chose Jesus Christ against the false god of the state of israel. He paid with his life, and that's why Charlie is a modern Christian martyr.
My question to Germans who thank the Red Army for liberating Germany: If you're liberated then why is Ahmed raping and stabbing through your cities? And when you complain about it you get sentenced to jail, while he remains free? Tell me dear neo-German, what does freedom look like to you?

They deleted her post and locked her account. Some news are too damaging to the satanic "equality and tolerance" agenda.

The common Anglo boomer on the street will tell you Brits were always a nation of immigrants.. to justify images like this. We are truly approaching the apex of satanism, the final destination of modernity.
This is the price we pay, all of us, for treating historical, biological, cultural, ethnic, and (yes) racial enemies like fellow citizens. You can not make friends with monsters.

Sampled two first episodes of recent anime and I came away thoroughly disappointed. I chose them without prior research, picking two highly seeded batch-torrents from nyaa.si.
The first one was The Silent Witch
I always dislike when narration is abused to offer explanations and this is exactly how this anime started. While the mix of Bocchi the Rokku 'oh so shy she cannot talk' template protagonist, hilarious potter academy setting, and dark fantasy world seemed promising, the moment her colleague arrived at her mountain hut and pressured her to take on a job (without having ANY actual leverage) killed the entire plausibility of the story based on its own logic. That the dialogue between her and her colleague oozed cringe, predictability, while moving with the flow of molasses sealed the deal. Dropped.
The second was The Ossan Newbie Adventurer
While the premise of a 30-year 'old' guy being the hero for once (Overlord did it better) felt refreshing and promising, the story suffered from the start by relying on something that happened over the last two years without the audience knowing about it. This made it necessary for the narrative to flashback every other minute to teach us precious viewers, and remind the implausibly stupid protag (skilled office clerk with zero awareness), why things are how they are, and why our hero should think and behave a certain way. The story fell apart when characterization proved amateurish and contradicting (trying hard to make it funny), comedy entirely off-beat, and forward-movement unfolded with the speed of a snail. Dropped.
What unites both samples in their failure is not only the implication that an intriguing premise, template-mixing and matching (so common in anime, and not an issue in itself), and riding on trends is not enough, but the other implication that concepts and archetypes cannot replace genuine inspiration, a sense for how characters would/should behave, and last but not least genuine humor (while not impossible to learn, perhaps impossible to teach). Both samples being non-isekai fantasy-anime makes the comparison to Overlord appropriate, with a feeling of renewed appreciation for the masterpiece that it is.
