@TMail13995@AncapAtlas@PeakStatism I'm not assuming anything. Anyone who has worked with anyone on any collaborative project knows there is always at least one guy that doesn't do a thing to help. In tribal society those people get kicked out. Regardless that is besides the point. You must still work to live.
@TMail13995@AncapAtlas@PeakStatism If I were in a tribe and someone wasn't carrying their weight, I would not share food with them. It wasn't "regardless of how hard they worked."
If you worked, you ate. If not, you would become a pariah and starve. Nobody wants a lazy ass on their team.
@TMail13995@AncapAtlas@PeakStatism A fish may once in a while accidentally fly into your boat, but if you go out there and wait for that to happen you will simply starve. You. Must. Fish.
Same with gardening. It's hard work. Could you forage? Sure, but you will have to do it all day to get 2k cals.
@unisoccon@friskscipio@VValtzy_ Nigga MGS2 politics ARE modern politics. The entire plot is about the role of artificial intelligence and algorithms shaping human thought.
I don't like PROPAGANDA. The difference between a political story and a propaganda piece is that one encourages you to think.
@choculatopguy@JadeAtrophis Even from an atheistic perspective it is depressing. Neitzche described people like this as "the new man" who cannot conceive of anything beyond pleasure and hedonism
@Storm_Tigrex@liquid2ulu@AustrPamplets Prostitution is not rape. It is consentual by both parties, just as long as the terms are met. Doesn't make it not degenerate, but it's not the same as raping someone and leaving cash.
@starsandtigers This pretty much. Metal Gear Solid and Deus Ex(2000) are my two favorite games and they are political as hell. But I never get the impression that they are trying to force a specific worldview onto me. Instead it gives you a lot of things to think about after the credits roll
@Othnin100@MothmanFan_ Dragon Age Veilguard is the worst offender.
To a lesser extent Baldurs Gate 3. The game itself is fun but going from BG1 directly to BG3 and seeing it go from "thees and thous" to modern lingo gave me whiplash.
@MothmanFan_ It's called Theory of Mind. Different cultures have different concepts of morality and think differently.
Making them all talk and act like Californians is the most low-effort unimaginative world building you can have.
@Smolassus The thing about "all art is political" is not that all art is inherently political. It's that if you are insufferable enough you can *make* it political.
@killacw18@Apolitical3678 "the true anti establishment following that created MAGA in the first place is now referred to as the “left”."
Actually I think they call themselves groypers now
@piperocktheory Warner Bros has always treated Looney Tunes like garbage. Most of the shorts were animated in one of the worst most run down buildings on the Warner Bros campus
