Like holy shit they're already starting to ban Marx in Florida and Ukraine is arresting communists. Fuck fuck fuck what do we do fuck.

It doesn't even matter to people that Russia hasn't been communist for 30 years, they're still going to use this as an excuse to come for even the mildest of leftists eventually.

This shit reaks of the rise of Hitler just before WW2. Except this time all of Nato is going full Nazi.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    I haven't played any since Awakening but the older ones are pretty cool. Genealogy of the Holy War is a masterpiece aside from some glaring flaws and it's the incesty one but it's basically Game of Thrones so it kinda hits more medieval dynasty than anime gross

        I've never watched or read it, but I understand it's about feudal drama and interesting so that was my anchor to things people have heard of

            The main crux of their argument was that the fealty/loyalty system in Westeros was so one-way, broken, and dysfunctional that it wouldn’t have lasted a generation in medieval Europe before being swallowed by a less dysfunctional neighboring kingdom.

            This is a funny thing to argue, since that's exactly what Game of Thrones seems to portray. Robert Baratheon was able to keep the kingdom together when he was alive, but he didn't have much imagination and could only do it through brute force, so as soon as he died the infighting among who was left spiraled out of control and a claimant with a mercenary army was able to come in from an adjacent realm and conquer the whole thing only a couple of years later.

            Fits the one commercial company with 100ks of workers and 10ks of managers I worked for well. Even my brother told me that during his 4 years in the army the leadership was more cooperative and less one sided than what I experienced at brand corp

            If anyone thought that hard about a fire emblem story I'd kill them with a bazooka. You sometimes get attached to characters cause it's a strategy game where each character has a unique personality and stats but you really only wanna use like 12 so that you don't split your exp too much and also permadeath, that's the emotional motivator more than the actual story. Otherwise it's just a good strategy rpg

                Yes. There really isn't that much to analyze there. It's gross fanservice cause the franchise constantly dies in the west if it doesn't do this
