I’m quite fond of communism, personally.

  • You gotta play Bravely Second! It’s the best game out of the three by a landslide imo. It rebalanced the job system so that combining skills is more consequential and added a few more jobs that are mechanically interesting such as exorcist (a job that specializes in reverting the game state, like unkilling an ally or unspending your MP).

    Its plot is also very well told. I mean, it’s just a final fantasy game so it’s not revolutionary or anything but it has a metanarrative that is unforgettable because of a certain moment that you’ll know when you get there.

    Consider playing the demo too because it’s essentially a prologue; it has some story and character development that isn’t in the main game at all.

    Also if you like Pokemon then you’ll probably like the Yokai Watch series too. They’re the same genre but Yokai Watch is goofier, has better writing, a bigger world, and just has more effort put into it in general. Though its battle system is less strategic, it’s not a big deal if you’re playing casually. The 3D is gorgeous too fwiw

    I recommend you play 1 first because it’s the most basic and some of its plot gets referenced later, but it’s not that important tbh. 2 and 3 are both fantastic though and are very different from each other so you should play both. Concurrently, even, because they’re pretty distinct.

    (btw Psychic Specters is the definitive version of 2. YW1 doesn’t have separate versions. And the definitive version of YW3 is the only one that got localized)








  • Isn’t that more like pouring gasoline on a fire that Americans created themselves? These influencers already had long careers being fascist with much support from their audience before being contacted by Tenet media. It isn’t Russia mind-controlling America, it’s some chuds from RT signal boosting their fav celebrities.

    Also there are many other unrelated outlets that spew the same bullshit: the Daily Wire, Breitbart, Babylon Bee, PragerU, etc. And they all throw around more money than ten million dollars (not that that isn’t a lot of money, but it’s definitely not enough to sway the politics of an entire country lol)

    Americans place a lot of emphasis on Russian influence because it provides cover for homegrown fascism, justifies their war against Russia, and directs attention away from international American propaganda that is 1,000,000x more pervasive and effective.







  • Yeah I think what AI is exacerbating is the tension between creativity and commodity. Businesses don’t celebrate art, they seek profits. Images, articles, music, and whatever else are all simply products to sell under capitalism. Turning every artist into a copyright lawyer won’t change the fact that their creations are ultimately still commodities.

    I see a lot of arguing over the definition of “art” but that’s beside the point. The problem is the entire bourgeois concept of property and the way capitalism impoverishes the working class so that they must spend their lives selling their labor.






  • The fact that damn near 100% of Latin Americans speak Spanish and are Catholic speaks to how thorough Spanish colonialism is. Hell, the fact that “Latin American” as a racial category even exists is a testament to their indigenous erasure. There’s so much Zionist apologia from Western powers about how Jews need a homeland to protect their religion and culture. Well, where’s the fervor for a Maya state? And a Muisca state? And a state for the dozens of other peoples that also suffered genocide at their hands?

    The damage caused by the Spanish empire is so extensive that reparations are never remotely entertained, or even fucking mentioned, because it would ruin smol bean Spain. And we can’t have that! Not Spain!!!
