Yeah, I'm getting really tired of people saying "well it's an illegal order so it doesn't matter" and not giving it another thought, despite everyone in power treating them as perfectly legal, and nobody doing a goddamn thing to put a stop to it.
If trump issues an executive order calling for executions of minorities, it doesn't fucking matter how legal it is if the powers that be let people do it, and let Trump stay out of prison.
We aren't to that point just yet, but I fully believe something on that level is coming, they've just got to ease into it so it just doesn't seem that much worse than the last thing that was done.
Until I see actual consequences that make a difference, my hopes are sitting around 0.
Union man through and through.
I'm a fan of the Forgotten Realms/D&D type of magic users where the long-lived races like elves see humans as reckless, bordering on insane, for how quickly they race through learning and understanding magic. An elf might take a decade to fully understand a single spell before she wants to use it regularly, a human will race through ALL her learning in 3 years.
And because humans are humans, they just might spend decades pushing a specific magic type or spell to its absolute limits, in a way that elves would never even think of because it's just outright insane.
