In Game of Thrones and Western media in general, incest is usually treated rather differently though, being a shorthand to show someone being completely morally decrepit

That's true. I just meant the absolutely braindead season finale for the show was absolutely hilarious for me. Like watching that show fall apart was the most entertaining it had been in years.

What gets me is how often sibling incest is portrayed as this sweet, star-crossed romance thing in Japanese media

Honestly eh. So incest isn't big in Japan. Which just leads me to think that this falls under the general misogyny of that society. And boy oh boy is a freak show. I mean considering whose been running that country and at whose behest. It probably fits. Plus it's like at the end stage of capitalism (as in a society that has successfully implemented capitalism as well as possible) and what you find there is a soulless abyss. Japan more than the rest of the world (although under capitalism we're all there to some degree) is a direction less society and profit just doesn't cut it. On the flip side they produce some seriously good but seriously depressing media. Stuff like land of the lustrous or technolyze.

Also the way your wrote this post up was really funny. Like it really captures the feeling of watching a piece of media fall apart. This was me when I read this manga called usagi drop. I literally couldn't believe it. I was genuinely shocked. This was well before I realized how ridiculous Japanese media can get.

Honestly these ridiculous storylines in Japanese media just leave me laughing my ass off (and not just Japanese media tbf. I couldn't stop smiling during the game of thrones finale). But the worst example of this is an anime called the irregular at magic school. It's so atrociously bad. I dont recommend you look into it unless you find humor in the absurdity of these types of media. But the comically bad part of the plot is so similar to what you wrote up

It's especially silly because a lot of people arrive to the conclusion that communism is an absolute necessity after being ground to dust by the machine. The people making these posts on the other hand can be lumped up under the treatlerite category

I played star ocean 2 the second story R in the last two weeks. It's a remake of a ps2 game. Strong points were the gameplay and various systems (gear crafting, customization etc). Weaker points were the voice acting, narrative (decent but could have been tighter) and what I felt was a lack of dungeons and story (game is quite short).

Next is octopath traveler 0. Which should carry me until the next path of exile 2 expansion.

The author did bring up sanctions but downplayed their vital role in both emisersting the Iranian people and fomenting domestic unsrest. And sanctions were not the only tool utilized by the west. There were armed groups, extensive propaganda and probably spies operating as well. This the author did ignore

Imma be real. I found that article unreadable. Like halfway I just lost interest in the neverending tsunami of word salads and buzzwords. So I can't fully criticize it. But by the halfway point the author complains about Iranian internally directed violence ignoring that it was promoted by the US and pissrael. Like not even just indirectly through sanctions. So if you don't want "authoritarian" governments how about you stop fuckig destroying countries so they are forced to militarize and survive in a much worse state, but infinitely better than the state the genocidal west would leave them in. North Korea and Libya are literally the examples of thi. Like I'm sorry. This is atrocious.

Gabriel Rockhill completely exposed these fraud intellectuals. Zizek is a clown. Fuck him.

To know what's funny. The first thing immigrants do once they integrate is to stop having children. Right wingers and liberals are beyond help

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 43 points 6 days ago

The contradiction in liberal/right wing brains between the decline of your favored "racial" (race isn't real ofc) group and the fact that capitalism and billionaires are causing said decline. Time to blame immigrants I guess.

It's the most banal justification for a legalized organ harvesting. The author knows full well that what he is advocating for will lead to human organ trade. Which is just wild.

And yes people like the author are the ones that built this imperial death machine. I mean I remember watching Oppenheimer and thinking how is it possible that this demon wasn't executed for genocidal war crimes. Instead we get a dogshit movie that tries to get people to empathize with a singularly evil monster.

 

As half of an unfathomably powerful couple, Mrs. Sánchez Bezos seems to have influenced the uber-rich to stop apologizing, and start enjoying themselves.

Such a pressing issue since feeling bad and apologizing is what the Uber rich are known for. Thank goodness someone is thinking of the billionaires

Um capitalism? Wonder how long before Liberals realize hey are as expendable to the ruling elite as the working class. But even if they did realize I think change scares them even more than the status quo.
