When you're so gripped by capitalist realism that neoliberal problems still exist in your imaginary world
edit:
and the anarchist one is described as “a bleeding-heart liberal paradise”?
Being sociopathic chuds, "empathy" is an eldrich concept to pcm brain that are stuffed into the "libleft" and often is their only characteristic
and the authright one is described as “abhramic unity” where christains, muslims, and jews live together as if fascist fundamentalists would tolerate each other.
I know some about these type. Basically what they meant is their favorite flavor of abrahamic religion being on the top while the others exist purely as aesthetical accessories.
You know this guy thought he was SO CLEVER when he thought of having the meteorite fragment hit Solomon's temple--"haha 'temple' as in part of the head, not as in a place of worship, haha I'm so clever, haha."
:visible-disgust:
The political compass and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Hey, you want to go back to when it was just a line? God damned Luddite. You'll ruin everything that makes political conversation great.
guess jerking off with PCM ideology is more soothing than doing a comic about the ongoing climate apocalypse
"I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards"
This is Divergent-tier worldbuilding. Every region has one trait and once you know that trait you know just about everything there is to know about that place. The Harry Potter houses have more creativity than this.
Edit: Also I don't know if there's a word for it but "Neo Phoenix" is kinda like saying "irregardless". If something is named after the phoenix, it's already implied that it is the new version of something that existed previously. "Neo Phoenix" sounds weirdly redundant.
Fuck, even in Divergent the twist was that the divides really were completely artificial and arbitrary with the villain’s eugenics shit being complete delusion…
Holy hell it gets worse

Solomon
- promotes ethnic cleansing and racial purity
- had eschatological messianic revelation to unite all religions under one banner
:thonk: But not "that kind" of unity, amirite?
I dunno. The auth left doesn't sound so bad. Good pay, nice benefits, murder bots to keep the capitalists out. Plus we get to enjoy a "the matrix"? Sign me up.
The other ones sound intresting. If we took off the politics compas serial numbers it would be a cool campaign setting for some tabletop shit.
Wait, why did the hippies build their communes in a nuclear wasteland?
