    "because you didn't understand property rights....."

    Another white bread motherfucker with no historical awareness of the enclosure acts.

      I’m reminded of a quote from the folding ideas NFT video

      “this wasn’t done before not because it wasn’t possible, but because it was undesirable”

        he targeted petty criminals instead of focusing on wealthy ones. tbh with the power he had it would have been almost trivial to successfully remake the world, my man fucked up real bad

          I was rewatching Death Note recently. Besides the obvious thoughts (the first fourth is the best, the two-parter with Naomi was by far the best part of the show), all I could think was about how interesting it would be if Light had actual politics

            completely agreed. i find i feel that way about a lot of things i thought were "smart" when i was a kid. looking at them now, so many of the shows and such i used to really enjoy feel almost hollow because they just don't have anything substantial to say about the world.

            (not that i don't enjoy them still ofc, i just find i'm always left wanting more)
