Dark Souls is about a late capitalist hellscape, a less garish and stupid hellscape than the one we live in.

points at capitalist institution doing capitalist things in a capitalist country

"Communism"

That's the only moment of that show I remember.

Modding female characters in Silent Hill 2 to look more like fuck-dolls has to be a whole new level of missing the point of the story.

I just assume at least 60% of American politicians are being blackmailed by Mossad. Half of them are pedophiles anyway, so it's probably not that hard to get dirt on them, especially with Epstein types working at the highest levels.

Princess Zelda's had magical powers since Ocarina of Time, at least.

I keep forgetting there are Americans who unironically think that animated skeletons and dark wizards are something you need to worry about.

Liberals almost seem to get off threatening me with death camps if I don't cheer for their specific warmongers.

"No, you don't understand, Harris is only going to let Israel nuke Middle Eastern cities, instead of everybody everywhere, so you have to be excited to vote for her, she's fleek, she's brat, she's

yeah...

She oversubscribes to great man theory, to the point that she blames Hitler for the violence in 300 year old German fairy tales... There's no getting through to her on any of this. Besides being absolutely insane, she's actually quite nice.

I only play Breath of the Wild to ride around on horseback and enjoy the scenery and music. So I genuinely can't wait to play this.

I'd be able to stop time too if it weren't for the government holding me back!!

According to the Clergy / Economists, there is an all-knowing, all-powerful God / Market that rewards the good and punishes the bad.

If you are poor and suffering, you must have angered God / The Market.

If you are rich, you must have pleased God / The Market.

No government can or should attempt to control God / The Market.

God / The Market is a fickle, unknowable, unpredictable beast that might occasionally destroy your entire hometown, but that must still be your fault somehow.

Being angry at God / The Market is like being angry at the weather, or gravity.

You can't expect anything from God / The Market - you are entitled to nothing from the power on high.

You can pray, you can beg, you can hope - but you are entitled and rude if you expect anything good from God / The Market.

It's funny how American nationalists expect this hegemony to maintain itself while they simultaneously let corporations strip every last piece of copper out of the country's walls.

It's wanting to sell your cake to the highest bidder, and eat it too. Ya can't. Ya sold it. It's gone. And the buyer has no interest in selling it back, instead we're all going on cake subscriptions for $17.99 a month.

My mom is a Jewish Russian-American, 3rd generation, granted, but she regularly brings up her Russian heritage in weird self-flagellation shows of devotion to the State Department. If anything reminds her that Putin exists, anything at all, she goes on long genocidal rants about how Russians are evil and there's something wrong with their brains - to prove she's not a hypocrite she then says she'd volunteer to be executed herself if that was the only way to get rid of all Russians.

I pointed out that she is - verbatim - repeating Nazi rhetoric about people they tried to exterminate, and my mother, who, again, is Jewish on top of ethnically Russian, starts going in circles about how no, PUTIN is the next Hitler, because Russians are evil, we're evil, oh my god we're so evil, what is WRONG with us?!

Rachel Maddow has turned my mother into a hysterical gibbon and I don't know how to fix it.

We have to save American Democracy, a political system that affords you no democratic power over anything whatsoever.

"America is always progressive, even when it's not."

"China is always evil, even when it's not."

I like pointing out that calling Mitch McConnell a turtle ten billion times hasn't removed him from power.
