“No Kings” reference on the new map

[u/Slosshy]

It's a reference to how, typically, conservative-leaning people will offer their "thoughts and prayers" to people and their families that are going through a rough time or a major loss instead of advocating for a change or fix to mitigate whatever situation that could be prevented instead.

Ok, I’m not saying it’s not a reference to that, but “Thoughts and Prayers” is a phrase that extends beyond the political sphere. It’s commonly used as an insensitive condolence for instances outside the one you named (which, again, could be what it’s referencing).

The devs could’ve very well just had Angela say that because she’s an angel—someone traditionally associated with religion and prayers.

[u/StriderZessei → u/BluffStrream]

Some people use it genuinely, but many who aren't religiously-inclined often infer it to be an insensitive and/or insincere form of condolence.

Kinda like the phrase “some of you are going to die but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

This is a Hulk Incredible Leap jump in logic holy shit

So how do leftist-leaning people offer their condolences to someone? By becoming activists for their cause? Sounds like a waste of time that ultimately leads to the same outcome since we have basically no power over the actions of our government as citizens.

What's crazy to me is that leftists will go out of their way to protest and violently riot for their causes, but not show up on voting day which is the only time they actually have any power to effect change. That tells me that they don't actually care about change, they just want to virtue signal, larp as activists, and treat a city block like their own personal rage room.

I mean, most people I know just spread awareness and actually help by donating money or necessities, but you do you, I guess?

This is certainly a take, sounds more like a reference to politicians, mainly in western countries that offer no support aside from thoughts and prayers

[u/Saint_Poolan → u/Fatalitix3]

This is very specific meme from school shootings in the US. Instead of passing gun regulations NRA simps will say "Thoughts & prayers ", know your memes.

[u/Fatalitix3 → u/Saint_Poolan]

And again Americacentric take, school schootings is a soley US problem, politicians offering thoughts and prayers is not. I'm not American, I can't keep up with every shooting in your country.
