The wheel, the steam engine, the lightbulb, the aeroplane.
Marvels of engineering to be sure, but all were put to shame when Otto Frederick Rohwedder (blessed be his name) invented the first single loaf bread-slicing machine.
No longer would man suffer the long indignity of having to slice their own bread!
It proved instantly influential and in a few short years 80% of the bread sold in the United States was sliced!
Unfortunately, like all true visionary undertakings, the forces of reactions would soon emerge in a vain attempt to halt man's progress and in XV Annus Panis Nostri Quod Est Divisa a ban would be placed on the product.
U.S. officials cited "war time conservation measured" but the brave people of the land quickly rose up in outcry and the ban was rescinded.
Today people from all around the world are free and able to enjoy the bounty of bread that is already sliced.

I think my brother has officially become a liberal, if not somewhat fash, down from a demsoc position
You hate to see it
Of course, his politics are so undefined and contradictory that I can't pin down what it is exactly
My brother once told me
transphobic ableist fash shit
“All trans people are mentally ill and should be rounded up and gased.”
Beat them up
That's most people. To have political views that make literally any sense you need to be into politics. Most people don't reflect on whether they're morally consistent.
I was talking to a friend about china's massive public transport initiatives, and he somehow turned it around into "another method of control for the CCP" :wut: It kinda bummed me out because they've recently become way more socialist in their politics, but I guess AES can be a hard pill to swallow for baby leftists.
These people are so dumb, you know roadblocks/check points are a thing right? What the fuck are you gonna do lol, drive your crossover/massive ass truck straight through the fucking woods/mountains lmao? Through the desert? Through miles and miles of open plains where everyone can see you?
It can be, but that's a chance to educate someone as well.
AES?
Actually existing socialist countries.
Which one?
Twin brother, my other one's still a normal milquetoast lib I think
Liquid Maurice :ohnoes:
why would they be fash?
Idk, maybe that's not the right word, but like... more authoritarian and misanthropic at the same time
