Neoliberalism doesn’t beat fascism though and that’s the point.

Fascism is capitalism’s immune system to eliminate dissent and critical ideas.

And then when everyone is united against the fascists who’ve rounded up the socialists, the students, the ethnic and sexual minorities, Neoliberalism steps back in, wipes the blood off of its hands, and says “wow, wasn’t that bad. Let’s stick with me from now on”.

That’s a potentially interesting definition.

Dream Daddy, the daddy dating sim isn’t a woke game in this context because the conceit of it being an LGBT friendly town with a bunch of single gay dads makes it all make sense.

But a game set in 1300s Japan with a lesbian white protagonist would be woke because that seems incongruous?

I read it as these two questions:

  1. Which controversial sentence said over public broadcast media do you disagree with the critiques of?
  2. Which controversial broadcast sentence do you come closest to agreeing with, even if you don’t think it true and hate yourself for even contemplating as true

Don’t know if I’m right or but that reading makes most sense to me after a couple of passes and some thinking.

[Map Men / Jay Foreman] (https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCbbQalJ4OaC0oQ0AqRaOJ9g) - fun, painstakingly produced educational videos about maps.

Yhara Zayd - Not too long media analysis. Especially of Horror and through BPoC lens.

Andrewism - discussions about Anarchism and organising from Trinidad.

But Dragon Age was never good, either.

The first one was mediocre at best with some good ideas, and it was all downhill from there.

Actually, octopi is the “erroneous” one. Although it is a very common mistake so might make the shift to recognised before too much longer.

Everyone still understands it, so it doesn’t matter.

The writer here, rereporting another interview seems fairly Musk tolerant.

RDJ probably is too. But at least he’s calling him on a few things.

There is no culture but subcultural consumption.

Magic is now a signifier for other subcultures, and this in turns makes the “Magic IP” it’s own signifier of subsubculture.

Buy more product.
This product is not for you.
Buy new product. It need not be consistent, or unified. Only profitable.
