    Check out Monster Hunter World if you dig boss fights. The whole game is essentially a series of boss fights.

    It’s fairly easy at first but the difficulty ramps up significantly, and there’s a ton of content.











  • In the narrow category of current US electoral politics, sure he has a point regarding the democratic strategy on race. Historically the borders of whiteness have expanded and contracted according to the political situation.

    I think the Dem’s fuck up here has more to do with taking minority voters for granted, and subsequently failing to turn them out/losing voter share. I think the projection that Latino or Asian voters will identify with whites as they become “successful” assumes a kind of social mobility that hasn’t existed in the US for some time. The middle class is shrinking in absolute terms, so the idea that enough minority voters will move into this category to significantly shore up a white minority in the future seems far fetched.

    More broadly though, I’m skeptical that the conservative movement in this country is actually moving towards an expansion of whiteness. You could argue that Trump actually represents a backlash against such an expansion. The GOP has doubled down on racial repression, voter suppression, and restricting nonwhite immigration. Maybe some minority voters will move towards the GOP, but it doesn’t seem to be a core part of the GOP’s strategy rn from what I’m seeing.

    This throwaway supernatural drama The Order on Netflix has a whole plot about scary communist mages.

    The second season of The Umbrella Academy starts with a Soviet invasion of the US.

    I think Netflix also had some show about the Russian royal family or the revolution itself. Lot of stuff on Netflix specifically
