I really need to stop browsing WoT subs, I've been feeling liquified bits of my brain leaking out through my nose and ears for the past few days, it's like staring directly into highly-radioactive material and just feeling your body start falling apart on the molecular level.

      It's a sub made by reactionaries when they found out that some of the cast for the show aren't white.

      Yeah, it's an utterly deranged sub. But even the "normal" /r/wheeloftime sub has a ton of chuds whining about agendas and being censored, I think only /r/wot seems to be doing decent moderation of that shit (and /r/WoTshow seems to be going in the complete other direction of total adoration of the show).

      The "Capitalism is the permission to keep what you earn" is just... I don't even see how you arrive at that, like don't capitalism apologists explicitly recognize that CEOs deserve to take all the money because of how much "work" they do, meaning that regular workers DON'T actually get to keep all they earn? Just what is even going on here.

        They conflate "what u earn" with "what u are given" and don't interrogate how its determined who is given what

        So the only thing that can be not keeping what u earn is taxes. Capitalism is when no taxes.

          Sometimes they do interrogate how it's determined, but in a totally atomized way. As in, it's determined by you negotiating your wage, other factors don't exist.

        Yeah I've been keeping tabs on that sub since it's creation and it's just so insane what will get said in that sub lol. Like at this point it's basically exclusively reactionaries that post there, but a few weeks ago it was more of a mix of people. You'd get comments like "I'm not really a fan of how they changed Character's story" and someone else would reply "It's because woke feminists have hijacked our perfect story to make every male character unlikeable and stupid and frankly I'm expecting them to have Egwene be the Dragon and peg Rand while crushing his balls under 6 inch platform heels because thats what woke fascist feminists do. Also everything is gay and the characters should all be white or something."

        As you said, truly a deranged community.

          “It’s because woke feminists have hijacked our perfect story to make every male character unlikeable and stupid and frankly I’m expecting them to have Egwene be the Dragon and peg Rand while crushing his balls under 6 inch platform heels because thats what woke fascist feminists do. Also everything is gay and the characters should all be white or something.”

          Honestly at this point I hope they do. The showrunners have done a really good job, and any changes they make that piss people off only make the show better, at least for me. Also at least 8 inches. Go big or go back in the box

        I love how the entire thing falls apart as soon as you make them confront the whole "permission to earn a wage" bit.

        Like bitch, who's giving that fucking permission and what's the alternative?
