Tornados, nukes going off, teeth falling out.

The SNES through PS2 days were the golden era of JRPGs imo. FF4-FF10 plus FF tactics are all legendary titles I’d highly recommend even in spite of their age. When I played the FF10 remaster sometime ago I was blown away by how fleshed out and complete it felt compared how most games today. I never owned a Switch however so there is no doubt a lot of good recent JRPGs out there I missed like the Fire Emblem games and such.

Capitalists paywalling their own propaganda, some problems really do fix themselves.

There is a political sim/visual novel type game I've been playing called Suzerain where you have the option to investigate and arrest capitalist oligarchs, and if you do it ends up reducing gang violence because it turns out the oligarchs were propping up and arming the gangs.

The US's usual Democratic™ allies are really not happy about the tariffs it seems.

Respect, if there is one country that could benefit from workers taking control it's South Korea.

Strange how ardent anticommunists often tend to be into things such as defending or downplaying European colonialism.

A good book perhaps for anyone aspiring to become a nano-dictator at home or in the workplace.

Both are probably true tbh. It's clear those people were artificially propped up and put into the spotlight by sponsors behind the scenes. On the other hand, all of them made/make numerous efforts to downplay themselves as "neutral" when they were already clearly entrenched onto the right and clearly knew what they were doing to at least some extent. They may be idiots but I don't think a simple act of manipulation like that necessarily requires being a genius.

Yeah so many get suckered in by people like Joe Rogan/Jordan Peterson/Asmengold/Tim Pool etc. All of them of have this certain playbook of intentionally hiding their power level and slowly nudging apolitical people towards the dark side.

Israel supports Romanian Nazi politician who also happens to be anti-NATO and now Romania is angry at Israel, I'm going to need some time to wrap my head around things for a bit here.
