@BillTheKid1603 it's hard rn because voter preferences are sludge, e.g. in australia polling shows that voters want more govt services but they think public debt and income taxes are too high. plus there's no indication they'd be open to bold & effective tax reforms. shit's just fucked atm.
@FellaHrx69 bryce's guiding principle is west bad. he'll soy out over a bit of police brutality, but he'll equivocate over ukrainian civilians getting shelled to death or schools in gaza teaching antisemitic conspiracy theories. he's a vile loser.
@romlib_ i know that many of the likes would be botted, but it's depressing how so many people are essentially living in simulated realities at this point
@LiberalHegemony and many of them won't recognise the irony of framing themselves as virtuous anti-racists while attributing political disagreement to the machinations of monolithic entities controlled by (((them)))
like, his dark souls video is 9 mins long and his fallout video is 15 mins and they contain better insight than any other video i've seen on those games since. also helps that he was willing to make videos about concepts instead of limiting himself to just individual games.
@AlmotsGraps wcw big show was nuts, one of the best athletes to ever step inside a ring. if only wcw knew how to book him beyond turning him into a hogan feeder.
@iUmer12 he was a bit of a home track abuser, but your argument is retarded. no actual qualitative analysis, just mindlessly mentioning a random stat like it means anything.
@Vipintiwari952 the pitch wasn't even that bad after the opening session. the new kookaburra seams too much and smith, green, and mushfiqur were the only ones who batted properly.
@JoeMcCarthy2tan they simultaneously want israel to be directly responsible for october 7 and for it to be a righteous act of anti-colonial resistance. anything to absolve hamas and PIJ of fault, i guess.
@frommontenegro "hope ukraine wins, just don't want them to kill anyone in the invading forces because they're possibly conscripts and that makes me feel icky as a sheltered westoid"
@ArthurKolchak it was also a fairly common point of contention in western political discourse in the 90s and 00s wrt whether the west did enough to stop it. just another example of why purely understanding politics based on hyper idpol dogma is dumb.
it's sorta better than the first game wrt this issue because at least it acknowledges that exposure to and participation in brutal violence degrades ellie as an individual, but it does so arbitrarily and connects it to a weird israel-palestine metaphor. very silly game.
i don't understand why this is supposed to be such a transgressive moment for ellie that represents her slipping deeper into the abyss when so much of the game up until this point has involved me killing people in the most harrowing ways imaginable.
but then you have these Cinematic Moments where the game arbitrarily demarcates murders that matter and murders that don't. about 30 mins ago i burned a guy alive with a molotov cocktail and caved a woman's head in with a shotgun, but no moralised gravitas for them.
