Why do so many in the gaming community lack media-literacy?
Why do journalists think they matter?
>>719777237Media literacy is good when: disagrees with something i dislikeMedia literacy is bad when: agrees with something i dislike
>Fallout is a comment that war is inevitable given basic human naturehmm this doesn't really check out considering the cold war is entirely 1st world aggression while the 2nd world plays catchup. to say nothing of how china hasn't invaded anyone since 79 (and that was for a month)more to the point i don't think most of /v/ has a working definition of what capitalism is. and fallout is a shitty series.
>>719777476Why are commies so delusional?
>>719777237What is even the media-literacy anymore? Everyone just spewing lies and misinformation on everything.
>>719777476>how china hasn't invaded anyone since 79China attacked and had border clashes with the ussr a fellow communist nation lol
>>719777237stuff like nuka-cola is obviously dunking in consumerism, particularly of the nuclear craze of the 50s and 60s
>>719777237Anon, it's been 27 years since Planescape: Torment and people still regularly ask why The Nameless One stopped losing his memories with every death when the game begins.
No ideaBut it shits me to tearsPic very fucking rel
>>719777237Yeah I always had this impression. That isn't to say that Fallout endorsed capitalism or didn't critique it, it took jabs at it all the time of course, but in the same way it jabbed at everything regarding human nature.
>>719777760But he kept losing his memories, but he started a new journal so he just remembered everything by reading it, he lost his earlier memories because he lost his earlier journal.............
>>719777846>it took jabs at it all the time Did it? I dont remember capitalism being mentioned at all in fallout 1 & 2.
And yet Todd and his dicksuckers approved the capitalism bad narrative in the show The Bethesda canon now states that nuclear war happened to win the game of capitalism as if losing all the luxuries of it and making currency worthless makes any sense
>>719777237>Fallout is about capitalismI fucking hate reddit. It was never about capitalism. It's about what kind of societies will emerge out of the ashes of the old world. It explores a lot themes such as rebuilding the same ones(Democracy, socialism) we had before? What if it leads back to a nuclear war? Or should we try something new? That's the gist of it.
>>719777893See? Another illiterate.No, Anon, it's specificaly stated in-game, multiple times, that the TNO we play at no longer loses memories, even when dying.
>>719777939Doesn't have to be explicitly say "capitalism bad" for that in my opinion. Just Nuka Cola being everywhere even hunderds of years later, ads, etc. I already consider those jabs.
>>719777237Hey where the fuck is Chris Avellone
>>719778085No it's not.
>>719777294Gotta make SOME use of that useless degree they have.
>>719778141Yes. Yes it is. You're proving my point.
>>719778098Nuka cola was just a popular energy drink the same way coca cola is in our is that somehow a jab at capitalism?
>>719778217No I'm not lol. What an idiot.
>>719778280...yes? Are you retarded? No fucking way I have to spell it out for you.
>>719778728Whats it jabbing at?
>two media literacy threads
>>719777525When you frame opposing thoughts as delusional and/or communist you smear your vision with false paint and lack the critical thinking to not take it as granted.
>>719777476>how china hasn't invaded anyone since 79 (and that was for a month)Define invade China boy
>>719778728Nah man, you're retarded.Fallout uses a 1950s retro future asthetic, based in america. Coca-cola has advertisements and soda fountains everywhere in america in the 50s, because it was popular, you set off a nuclear apocolypse that kills most people on the planet and leaves behind 1950s style americana ruins, you're going to have coke branding everywhere, because its popular.This has nothing to do with the capitalism is le-bad reddit arguments everyone likes to give, capitalism, or more specifically corporatism is bad when it becomes monopolistic, and abuses money and lobbying to make everyone's lives worse, not better. Saying coke is popular = bad is retarded, when the real flaws of unregulated, unrestrained capitalism is what Monsanto does with the food supply, or Nestle does with stealing water supplies to resell to people
>>719777237>money/barter still exists in their world>constantly buying and selling shit>"This is a critique of capitalism"The fuck? Who ever said that? At what point does the fallout series ever stop and say, "Hey, you. Stop selling those antlion exoskeletons. Those belong to the collective. Hail, Marx!"?This is a non-problem.
>>719777237I deeply respect Tim cain despite his “gay” self inflicted hit, his videos really shows how game development is and the type of people one will be forced to work with
>>719778039This, it wasn't about communism either. Pre-war ideologies were largely irrelevant to the Fallout universe and so was much of the pre-war world and it only mattered to those who lived through it or a handful of highly educated people. I always hated how Bethesda made it so everyone in the 23rd century's obsessed with the 2070s and lives like the bombs never fell. It's fucking retarded.
>>719777649>fellow communist natioussr wasn't communists after lenin/stalin
>>719777237Fallout, at it's core, is trash. Still enjoyable, but trash.
>>719777237you put some amount of effort into an ineffectual image that does nothing to actually address any shortcomings of the beliefs or arguments that you find so reprehensible or worthy of mockery. why should anyone take you seriously?
>>719780314>The Communist nation which based their foundation on communism wasn't really comminist i swearAlways the same story
>>719780092Its more of a modern bethesda fallout issue, because the world of fallout to Emil never evolved past the 1950s even though there are p90s, desert eagles in fallout 1 and 2, so everything is a 1950s hyper capitalism to a cartoonish degree
>>719777237boyarsky is the commie larper still making capitalism bad games (see outer worlds 2 trailer)
>>719777237Gonna start by saying I don’t agree with the “capitalism is bad” interpretation, I just want to speculate on why redditors would be thinking this way. I think they’re stuck on the events leading to the war, primarily the resource wars, and how the rampant selling of various products (capitalism) accelerated the consumption of earth’s raw materials. Pre-war lore is such a small part of fallout though… everything after the bombs dropping is more of a thought experiment in how human society would function in the ABSENCE of capitalism. There aren’t any more corporations, just humans trying to survive in a lawless hellscape while also forming new societies.
>>719777525Lack of nutrition to their brains for several generations combined with purges of anyone smart than their glorious leaders (who are all retards).
>>719780394You know that why they hate Russia right?They think it was heaven before the 90s
Why are communists allowed in our societies? We live in a capitalist society, so why should we allow people who want to destroy our society to live? Why don't we throw all commies and leftists out of helicopters into the ocean?
>>719777237They haven't played Spic Ops: The Line
Kill yourself jaknigger.
>>719780675I think the concepts of vault tec selling survival to those who can afford it is more so the reaon
fallout has been retconned to be about capitalism bad by bethesda themselvesfunny to think that the only games that disagree with this are now have the most left wing fanbases
>>719779196Attack another country, shoot it's people, drop bombsChina haven't drop a single bomb or shot a single bullet abroad in nearly 50 years while the west invaded, bombed and overthrew dozens upon dozens of countries, and are even now participating in a genocide, providing all the weapon and political coverage for it.>>719777525Nah, westoids are just brainwashedReminder that all you retards unironically ate up blatant fabrications about china like social credit score or winnie the pooh being banned there, and a bunch of you still believe that there is an actual genocide and slavery going on in china that just happens to have literally zero recorded proof in a smartphone filled world, while most of these same people unironically think that there is No genocide currently committed by the west supported Israel despite endless proofs.
>>719780394>The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and all those counties where the modern revisionist clique is in power have either changed colour or are in the process of doing so. Capitalism has been or is being restored there, and the dictatorship of the proletariat has been or is being transformed into the dictatorship of the bourgeoisiehttps://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/works/1966/leadcliq.htm>The chairman of a collective farm in the Kursk Region regarded the farm as his "heredetary estate". He conspired with its accountant, cashier, chief warehouse-keeper, agronomist, general store-manager and others. Shielding each other, they "fleeced the collective farmers" and pocketed more than a hundred thousand roubles in a few years.>On the pretext of "combating the personality cult", Khrushchov has defamed the dictatorship of the proletariat and the socialist system and thus in fact paved the way for the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet Union. In completely negating Stalin, he has in fact negated Marxism-Leninism which was upheld by Stalin and opened the floodgates for the revisionist deluge.>Khrushchov is peddling bourgeois ideology, bourgeois liberty, equality, fraternity and humanity, inculcating bourgeois idealism and metaphysics and the reactionary ideas of bourgeois individualism, humanism and pacifism among the Soviet people, and debasing socialist morality. The rotten bourgeois culture of the West is now fashionable in the Soviet Union, and socialist culture is ostracized and attacked.>This privileged stratum is the principal component of the bourgeoisie in the Soviet Union today and the main social basis of the revisionist Khrushchov clique. The revisionist Khrushchov clique are the political representatives of the Soviet bourgeoisie, and particularly of its privileged stratum.https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/works/1964/phnycom.htm
>>719777237it's not a big stretch to link the military industrial complex and select corporations profiting off of war and the nuclear apocalypseunless you think aliens started the great war lol
>>719780787It's rather frowned upon to kill the retarded just because they are retarded.
>>719780787Because they don't matter anymore
>>719777237The "big brained" reddit university nigga omg I just can't dude it kills me every time.
>>719780314Whatever helps you cope oh and they also invaded vietnam but i guess they're not a communist nation either.
>>719777649>Border clashThat happened ten years before 79 you tard, and even that was minor shit event with a few dozens casualties, compared to the 6 million koreans and vietnamese the US bombed, napalmed and killed with chemicals because they dared to rebel against westoid colonialism and imperialism
>>719781360Oh yeah China also invaded vietnam lol.
>>719777476You are trans nigga lolol lol lol lol
i hate libs as much as anyone else but at least they were relevant enough to be on the ballot unlike commies
>>719780787You don’t communism in the left has been subverted by wokeness towards idpol and neo-liberalism. Outside of the CPGB-ML, Caleb Maupin and some other anti-revisionist figures there isn’t really any communists left. The so-called ‘communists’ in the west are woke neo-liberals who are happy to support large corporations as long as the fly the rainbow flag, back actual war criminals like Hillary Clinton or Dick Cheney as long as the say some left wing things and back actual campaigns regime change against anti-imperialist nations like Russia and the DPRK. It has been much easier to subvert communists and turn them into neo-liberals then to outright exterminate them.
>>719780787We don't live in a capitalist society, at least in america we live in a republic. How you conduct yourself economically is up to you, as long as you pay your taxes. You're free to live in a commune or run your company via ownership of the workers. You'll just find out pretty quickly that without any authority, responsibility, or incentives you can't get people to do shit.Communists in america are free-shit socialists, who think that they shouldn't have to work while their garbage still gets picked up, their toilets still flush, janitors clean the lobbies and hallways of their high rise apartments, and road workers maintain the roads and truck/train drivers maintain supply lines, they like to talk big shit, but they don't understand that a 'workers revolution' isn't going to be on the side of a starbux barista or doordash driver whining about their 200k student debts in underwater lesbian basket weaving degrees
>>719781090You're been caught on video ramming the Philippine coast guard. The wigger work camps are also on video. It's obvious you're going to invade Taiwan the second you can get away with it too. Nice try though chang.
>>719781384>alsothat was literally the war of 79 you retard, which is why people say china haven't attcked a single country since nearly 50 years. They did it to stop vietnam's invasion of cambodia, and it was also a small and only invasion compared to the countless of invasions the US led west did before and after
>>719781105The military industrial complex thrives with controlled conflicts that are purposefullly kept at a certain level and constant, not with an all-out global conflict where their very existance is at stake, or at least if after the end inheritant organizations like the Brotherhood of Steel and Vault-Tec weren't too busy scrapping everything and jerking off in their bunkers
>>719781927>They did it to stop vietnam's invasion of cambodia, and it was also a small and only invasion comparedOh yeah cambodia a communist country also invaded vietnam who was also a communist country lol.
>>719781090China attacked India and killed people 5 years ago. They still haven't ended their annexation of Tibet. They still reserve the right to invade Taiwan. Soviet Russia is responsible for mass death, repression, gulags, corruption, nuclear escalation threatening our world, and the conquest of and crimes against many of their neighbors. Eat shit, lying commie fuck.
>>719781090I cant wait for mental gymnastics when china will invade taiwan finally holy shit lmao. Its going to be glorious. Millions doing gold medal on olympics tier mental gymnastics when they wont have the one and only rebuttal with "but da mutt wars".
>>719780787You have no commiesYou have no leftWesturdia is an exploitative imperialist moral shithole that is wealthy because it outsources it's cheap labor and resources production to the global south and makes sure this relationship stays like this through constant wars, coups, sanctions and threatsAnyone supporting or even tolerating western imperialism is a farrightie, this includes all your gay loving liberals who will preach about the importance of black lives at home while still support or do nothing about it's country killing and exploiting billions of native black and brown people abroadYou will wish you had commies because the shit you are doing is unsustainable and is already backfiring. China's rise is inevitable and so is your eventual crash in your own debt
>>719782381>everyone born before the 1900s is far right
>>719781516idpol is the biggest cope of all>wait this guy is making sense, my landlord really is fucking scamming me. the profit motive really makes everything cheap, disposable, shitty, and gives me cancer.>no wait wait wait. deep breaths. stop thinking. remember homosexuals. i hate homos. yes. this guy is one of those homos trying to trick me
>>719782432this is why i side with socdems since they believe in an ideology that actually works
>>719782709>open borders and free money for everyonelol
>>719777958You admit that capitalism will eventually lead to corporation greed? Because the show highlighted that without criticizing capitalism itself.
>>719782709>social fascism"soc"dems exist to prolong capitalism.
>>719782748the show highlighted that the writers are retarded leftoids that don't understand that those greedy capitalists would rather live at the lap of luxury and have access to fucking everything they want rather than being kings of a pile of worthless scrapthey kinda like having supply lines, lots of actually valuable currency and a class of people who work to make their shit
I think the important thing to remember is that crapitalism *is* bad whether or not it's what Fallout was or is about.
>>719782765>capitalismNothing wrong with that communism sucks
>>719782709>import mooore muslims (the most fucking consevative pants on the head retarded religion ever creatred by humantiy)>they will totally not attempt to make sharia law happen in your country>they gang up>they actually start doing this>they destroy all dreams of democracy beceuse there is none in their countries and its haram to have anything that is not shariaYeah, right. Works for destroying the country long term. Just give it up to fundamentally the enemies of the nation that will destroy ALL its identity and core moral values the country was build upon such as freedom/liberty, rights for all regardless of sex, free speech, secularism, etc.
>>719782872>free housing? human rights??? AIIEE HELP ME CIA I'M NOT GETTING RAPED
>>719782432>im entitled to another person’s labourGo practice communism with the Amish
>>719781726>anti-imperialist nations like Russia
>>719777237Tim's channel has been a great insight into game development ngl.
>>719782748>greedy power hungry people exist only under capitalism What is this delusion that you people express
>>719782994fighting imperialist entities like NATO is objectively anti-imperialist
>>719782932>free housingcheap commieblocks>human rightsliterally never happened under any implementation of communism because you need to rob anyone above average to drag up dregs
>>719782932God damn uni kids are brain dead
>>719783040Capitalism encourages greed unlike left-wing ideologies.
>>719783052it's okay zigger, remember to wave when the drone blows you to bits
>>719782432You are trans nigga lolol lol lol lol
It's funny that Americans, people from the only country in the world that has used nukes against other countries and civilians at that, are clutching their pearls because a TV show is shedding the lame both sidesing of nuclear aggression.
>>719783052yeah tell that to WW2 england
>>719782994Russia saved Syria, saved Venezuela, is fighting against the Nazi regime in Kiev and stands in solidarity with Cuba, China and the DPRK.Yes they are anti-imperialist and one of the major forces fighting against American and NATO imperialism.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kFfa61u-oU
>>719782765anyone reproduces capitalism even China i dont give a fuck what kind of Tankie you are, yes even China atm is dancing to International Capitalism too its just the system of the world and international trade.SocDems exist to poison a nation, nothing more nothing less, altho I agree its also capitalism but its retarded even more internationalist capitalism with less concern on maintaining the current culture that makes democracy possible alive and just selling out the nation to mass migrants which in turn will destroy them eventually because they don't tolerate religious difference. Most Migrants only want one thing the wealth of 1st world nations but they fucking hate the culture they want to destroy everything it is because it once competed historically against their culture and they lost back then so they are still resentful because their grandpa's told them about it, their religion told them to be vindictive about it, etc, etc.
>>719782971why is it the people who hate communism the most have no grasp of its basic principles whatsoever. the amish? what on earth. i have never even heard the amish called communist before. surely not even you believe this, if it can even be called believing when you don't know what the words you use mean.>>719783075>cheap commieblocksthose old soviet apartments are unironically built better than most modern first world private construction projects. also the implication of yours being that you'd rather be homeless than live in your very own apartment is lol
>>719783161If only we'd nuke were ever you live faggot.
>>719783181>chile on the left>argentina on the right
>>719783181> white man countries le bad!!!funny how you third worlders all want to be in our countries tho, i cant wait until we chimp out again like ww2 and remove all you brown parasites.
>>719783248Even if you knew you probably wouldn't find it on a map so I'm not worried.
>>719783161They used them against nazis and as far as I know, fascist infighting is a good thing.
>>719782004What point are you even trying to make? That communist countries can't have smaller disputes between each other during an extremely turbulent and threat filled time, while muh capitalist liberal west can massacre each other in the ten millions in the 20th century?>>719782175>US/west invades and overthrows like 50 countries in the last decades>Lmao, imagine the mental gymnastics if China imvades someonewestoids are the one doing and eating up nonstop mental gymnastics to justify the ridiculous amount of westurd aggressions, not chinaConflict between taiwan will only happen if the US ramps up planting long range missiles to threaten China. Otherwise it won't happen. Peaceful unification is inevitable with China's rise and the west's fall>>719782058>Nuclear escalation threateningThe US started the "cuban missle crisis" you propagandized sheep>Annexation of tibetTibet was part of China for almost 400 years and never left it not even according to the west itself who only retroactively wants to pretend that it was an independent country after the US failed to turn it into the original afghanistan by arming and training ultra-conservative separatists there, like how the US propped up the taliban and al-qaeda to overthrow socialist afghanistan and later all socialist middle eastern and north african countries, literally creating radical "islamist" terrorism that didn't exist before US operations>Attacked indiaIt didn't. There were border clashes between a few dozen border guards who were not even allowed to use guns on either side. These borders are disputed because of British colonialist fuckery, not because of either chinese or indian imperialism>Muh soviet mass deathsAh yeah, the stalin killed gazillion people meme that not even western historians consider reliable anymore. I'm sure things would have been more chill if the west didn't try to constantly invade and at one point even genocide/colonize ussr/russia
>>719777425Most media today is made by leftists and liberals with imbued leftist and liberal subtext, hence it naturally follows that media literacy tends to lend itself to leftist and liberal interpretations.
>>719782426Colonialist westurds were always far right, yes, otherwise no
>>719783360Liberals make 99% of media. Very few are made by conservatives and leftists.
>>719783181yeah everyone knows a lot of dumb commies love Russia even tho Putin thinks Commies are stupid, he ofc liked the power Russia commanded when it was the USSR and Russia was its center of power ofc he does, he was KGB, he was ripping the benefits of all of that, being an imperial core and all. But anyway what Russia is now cannot be called Communist, its just an Oligarchy where Putin is the autocrat atm, eventually he will pass down the torch or more like that plan has already been planned so we will see what happens when Putin inevitably dies. Some man he trusts will inherit his power.
>>719777476>china hasn't invaded anyone since 79what are you trying to say? China is capitalist
>>719783243>i have never even heard the amish called communist before. surely not even you believe thisGod you cunts are so fucking dumb
>>719783393true and we need to step up our game and start producing desu why because art matters and it shouldnt be what it currently is.
>>719777237if the media creator agrees with me i cast media literacyif the media creator disagrees with me i cast death of the author
>>719783243commieblocks are glorified slave pens that let you continue on with your barely subsistent life where you don't get any luxuries at allthe only people who worry about homelessness are substantially below average on every metric to begin withyou'd rather prop up adult abortions than let a normal person enjoy their life
>>719783331sucks to suck, the world history is whites constantly buck breaking chinks and browns and the anon is right that we will see Olympic level mental gymnastics from chinks and reddit commies when they try to invade taiwan.
>>719783448Socialist by 2050. Just like how India became a superpower by 2020.
>>719777476Capitalism is where the pursuit of wealth becomes prioritized within society. It's in the name, capital-ism. Common side effects include the corporitization of healthcare systems, prisons and lobby groups. The fallout series portrays capitalism in a kind of caricature art way. The country that fallout takes place in is (was) known for being the epitome of capitalism in its time.
>>719783104Man, China so easily poisons the minds of the midwits
>>719783457nearly all memes and online trends are right leaning so we dominate that front, their are still a few inherently right wing media such as 40k or lotr, but its few and far between nowadays.
>>719777476China has repeatedly threatened to take Taiwan and the only reason they havent done so is because they know they would get utterly bitchslapped by America. Thats the main reason that most major 1st world countries play nice the past few decades, because Daddy America, if ever provoked to a full scale conflict, would absolutely buttfuck them. The only reason America doesnt buttfuck them anyway is because nukes exist.Furthermore, China falls the fuck apart constantly. They cant go a century without imploding. Dont try using China as a shining beacon of peace when they have civil wars all throughout their history.
>>719783513Commie blocks are retarded, but so is blackrock buying up all the available homes and turning them into rentals, and banks/HOAs/morgage market artificially increasing housing prices.
>>719783548>china invented communismOh say can you seee
>>719783564>such as 40kThey are trying desperately to co-opt that because space racism BAD
>>719783606China became a fascist state when they realised how retarded communism was
>>719783104Left wing ideologies are not compatible with third world psychology or values systems. What began as an olive vranch to the destitute is now just an extended cuckhold session.
>>719783520China can't invade Taiwan because even if they're successful there's a high chance that TSMC's foundries will be blown up and the entire world's economy will instantly explode, taking China with it.
>>719783637>So blind to propaganda that he thinks the spread of communism was naturalToo Kek, you fucks are absolutely cooked
>>719783652and it has failed miserably, they already walked back fem custodes, atleast the suits at GW understand that 40k is inherently a male hobby.
>>719783735Crazy to think 99% of the world's economy is dependent on some chink island.
>>719782748>DUDE BUT LIKE ECONOMIC SYSTEM HAS FLAWS!!!!They all do, redditor. Meanwhile capitalism is responsible for 99.9% of all worthwhile vidya. The only reason yuros and China have any market at all is because faggots in the USA have been on an anti-capitalism tirade and causing a social civil war for over a fucking decade now.
>>719783637they're the only major modern presence of socialism ever since the USSR fell almost four decades ago.>>719783690that unhoused man only became that way because of capitalism. also, bigotry in places like africa and asia are only prevalent because of western colonialism.
>>719783741Yea, thankfully. Im just wary because the fem custodes shouldnt have been a thing in the first place.
>>719783513>that'll never happen to me, just to somebody elseto everyone else on the planet you ARE someone else. never forget you're a few misfortunes away from homelessness. your savings get stolen, your house burns down, yadda yadda, now you're homeless.>>719783606i don't know what's more insane about this post, saying that america occupying taiwan is supposed to make china look aggressive, or citing Lu Bu fighting Bing Bong in 500bc is a reflection of the CPC
>>719783606China has bigger and similarly if not more advanced military than the US has you absolute retard. It has much bigger manufacturing and already leads in RnD, not even mentioning that almost it's entire giant population actually receives basic level military training. China's military is being built for actual defense and security while US is built for invasions and oppression of the global south so they can keep stealing /buying up extremely underpriced resources and labor from them, which is the ony reason westurd "capitalists" are rich, and why 90% of the capitalist word is actually piss fucking poor
>>719783735They also cant do anything to stop America because a large part of their economy is dependent on them. Also if the USA goes bankrupt, the world economy also collapses. So they are in an eternal stalemate.
>>719783741They backpedaled because women being major supervisors in a fascist regime completely misses the point of the satire.
>>719783618no one's defending that kike shit eithermodern leftists are nigh responsible for disarming and muzzling the peoplein the olden days overextending your wealth like that would lead to lynching, something lefties fought tooth and nail by preventing every single avenue of expressing it
capitalism is a shit system and will eventually fail.
>>719783802They don’t like China because their version of socialism is of the national variety
>>719783873>i don't know what's more insane about this post, saying that america occupying taiwan is supposed to make china look aggressiveTaiwan is its own nation, chang. The fact that you dont see that as invading a country speaks volumes, we're done here.
>>719781945Yea that is as retarded as the tv show plot where they nuke the world to make money. Even if your business is vaults you benefit from the scare of nuclear war and not the war itself.
>>719783779And that one company on that one island is entirely dependent on one Dutch company who are the only people capable of making the machines they use, and they're entirely dependent on one German company who are the only people capable of making the mirrors they need for their machines. It's a spectacularly vulnerable supply chain when you look into it.
>>719783873you won't be homeless if you actually try to better your lifethe vast majority of homeless are actual clinical retards and impulsive drug addictsnot all humans are inherently good and rational

>>719783513Reminder that chinese people compared to us alreadyEat more proteinHave higher life expectancyHave much lower retirement ageLower suicide ratesLower homelessnessHave more days offHave over 6 times lower prisoners per capitaThe only thing americans have is literally more "luxuries"Also china is still rapidly developing while US and the west is stagnating /slowly recessing
>>719783876>and why 90% of the capitalist word is actually piss fucking poorThe poorest fags in USA and Japan are fucking ludicrously rich compared to a lot of the world
I went with the Yes Man ending so I can establish an anarcho-communist utopia
>>719784079>eat more proteinyou mean rice? that's one of the lowest quality protein there isit's milk, meat, fish and eggs and then in the distant second there's onions and then everything below is irrelevantalso you're trusting literal ccp propaganda that doesn't square up with leaks that show chink authorities welding people inside their homes
>>719783965it's an island where all the slaveowners fled after losing their war to the mass contingent of people. imagine if general lee took ellis island and declared it a nation. btw you may want to read up about the white terror (don't worry it's not about white people)
>>719784158Shut the fuck up with your fed ideology anarkiddie.
>>719784158>anarcho-communist utopiaWell at least you acknowledge it’s fictional
>>719784119Yeah, I think most people in first world countries don't quite understand just how much they actually have to lose, they might be miserable compared to the well off in their own country but compared to most of the planet they live like kings.
>>719783520>the world history is whites constantly buck breaking chinks and brownsYou mean literally the last couple centuries?The west wasn't even one of the regions where human civilization originated from. China and "brown" regions were, they were building cities and empires while west/northern euoros were still living in similar tribal conditions to many africansWesturds gained a military edge in the last centuries and pillaged the entire world. Your hegemony is about to end in the next decades tho, hope you enjoyed being the biggest shitstain on human history.>anon is right that we will see Olympic level mental gymnastics from chinks and reddit commies when they try to invade taiwan.Yeah its totally a non existent invasion that has all the mental gymnastics, and not the actual dozens of invasions and coups that the west was totally justified to do, fucking retard
>>719784158I thought the woke left hate Yes Man
>>719784304>Your hegemony is about to end in the next decades tho, hope you enjoyed being the biggest shitstain on human history.Lmao, 2 more weeks
>>719784210>waaaaaahhh i need daddy government to do everything for me>>719784273the only reason it's fictional because capitalist keep killing these communities because they fear people will find out that the government is worthless and only there to steal from you
>>719777237>Tim Cain>High IQ
>>719784280and all they have to give for the privilege is their daughter’s virginity to jamal and the right to express dissatisfaction about that
>>719784304>You mean literally the last couple centuriesThat just makes it even more embarrassing for you stinky subhumans. You had a thousand year head start and still got shit on the moment the Whites bothered to enter the game. But hey, just two more weeks and you'll be back on top lmfao
>>719784304>last centuriesmore like last millenium lmao
>>719784358Oh please, you people only exist to critique proper socialist movements while giving liberal imperialists a far, FAR looser leash.
>>719783876LMAO Burgerland literally triples China in airforce alone
>>719784204>You mean riceNo, general protein intake, mostly coming from pork and chicken. >Muh ccp propagandaIt's a statistic considered reliable by western outlets, if not also conducted by them>doesn't square up with leaks that show chink authorities welding people inside their homesNot sure what misrepresented shit you are talking about, but you can visit china with free visa, or even register to social media sites and talk with hundreds of millions of common chinese and ask them what shit is like there. China is nowhere near as isolated as western media pretends it is, they just abuse the fact that chinese people are using their own social sites and thus they won't call out blatant bullshit being spread about their country, like social credit score
>>719777237Why does you is stupid?Checkmate
>>719784557ah yes, trust the accounts of media that loves bribes and people who are on guard in public because for all they know they're talking to secret police hirelings that will fuck up their social credit scoreignore people going missing and leaks of blatant government abuse that pierce the facadegreat idea
>>719777237True and real, this is why everyone should be again SKG. It is an anti-capitalist psyop trying to stifle American ingenuity in the live service games field by using EU government intervention, ie communism.
capitalism badcapitalism stands for "for profit private ownership" according to googleit didn't invent the concept of trading or currencywhen people say "capitalism bad" they are talking about rent seeking parasitic entities that spread like cancer and bring down quality of life everywhere around themeventually these entities which flourish under the seemingly democratic countries will use underhanded tactics like lobbying, misleading, child labour, cheap labour, literal gangster, mercenaries etc. etc.where will all this lead to? capitalism rewards bad psychotic people for being bad and psychotic. these people will eventually effectively create empires, dictatorships or failing that just bring countries into destruction.You think you are above history and truth because your favorite politician said "amen" while saying he loves capitalism?With malicious people you always lose.
>>719777476There is unironically no universally agreed upon definition of capitalism, but some are more wrong than others.>>719783542>Capitalism is where the pursuit of wealth becomes prioritized within societyFor example, if you don't make a meaningful distinction between it and mercantilism (which it supplanted), then it's a non-starter.
>>719777237because they lack trans people!
>>719784354><2 more weeksLmao, that's literally your cope propaganda meme for China's fall, it's amazing how you retards don't get even your own brainwashing narrative rightChina's rise is real and so is your debt piling faster than your economy grows, which it barely does. It's a matter of decades, you conducting a genocide and pissing off the global south further definitely didn't help in slowing things down>>719784448>Enter the gameEveryone was always "in the game" anon. West-north being a caveman for millenias while others built cities, just to chimp out and become the biggest murderer thiefs in history the moment it's your turn of getting your hands on a better technology is not the brag you think it is
>>719784837>inb4 some retarded amerimutt golem says the only alternative is le hecking commienism so capitalism it is
>>719784781You have no idea what communism the EU supports imperialism against Russia, arms for the Nazi regime in Kiev and sanctions one of the only existing communist countries in the world the DPRK. That’s about as far from communism as you can get.
>>719784482No, it's literally just last centuries.West-north europe was significantly less developed than china or the middle east was a millenia ago. Fun fact, Britain was significantly less hygenic than India was before they conquered and pillaged India.
>>719784873>There is unironically no universally agreed upon definition of capitalismthat's getting into the nitty gritty of it. /v/ doesn't grasp the basics of selling labor or private ownership. these are all foreign concepts to anticommunists (lmao)
>>719784889
>>719784517Those movements wouldn't change anything even if they would succeedWe won't be free until we get rid of the source of all our problems: the government
>>719784668Yeah, le ccp holding 1.5 billion people as hostage and under complete control definitely sounds more likely than the west with it's gigantic criminal track record spreading bullshit like that about their perceived adversaryGlad to see you are not manipulated by propaganda anon
>>719784837>when people say "capitalism bad" they are talking about gibsmedat
>>719785102I prefer this version.
>>719784904>China's rise is real and so is your debt piling faster than your economy growsLol, and who's going to cash in on it, bitch? Oh, thats right, if you fags try, we can declare bankruptcy and collapse the entire world economy. You cant do SHIT.>b-but-Im sure China will be top dog right around the time India turns into a super power lmao
>>719785320>"gibs">look inside>universally agreed upon human rights such as food and housing
>>719784904>Lmao, that's literally your cope propaganda meme for China's fall, it's amazing how you retards don't get even your own brainwashing narrative rightIts a meme about Qanon shit you retard.
>>719777476idk tankies actually existedi thought it was just trolls and retards like hasan grifting.
>>719785389Neither of those are universally agreed upon.
>>719785389Food and housing requires human labor to create and maintain, you do not have a right to someone else's labor.
>>719785389>chopchop juan, make me a taco after you build those stairs for me, it’s my right
>>719785624okay, fourth i swearhow are you capable of thinking that corruption and overpolicing doesn't exist in fucking china when all the mechanisms are there and the people are historically significantly less individualistic than anywhere in the west>especially when you have the examples of that going on in britain right now with the starmer government despite them having nowhere near as much control as the ccp>or that fucking journos don't have purchasable loyalties when a fucking videogame studio retconned a plot point from china caused the nuclear war to capitalism caused nuclear war because they want to suck up to the ccp
>>719785532But rent seeking jewish capitalism niggers do right?kys bootlick
>>719785532So true! Anyways, it's time to go back to work and let my CEO steal from me.
>>719785087Not just /v/. It feels like only a minority of people can grasp selling labor. Taking less than a 50% cut for something they had a hand in making is completely incomprehensible to them. It's beyond being a foreign concept.It really makes me worry for the future, like the society we have now is just a freak accident given that it's only existed for a blip in human history. If so many people are hostile to the basics of its foundation, it probably won't last long.
>>719778085this is wrong. he loses his memories because it's a side effect of becoming immortal
>>719785738He does until the events of the game start. He notes several times throughout, while talking with people, that this is no longer the case.The reason is because the Practical Incarnation figured out a ritual that would stop the process, but the Rule of Three kicked in and it would only take effect three incarnations down the line. Which is the player character.
>>719785692>My dogshit system is better than the current dogshit system>>719785724You have zero skills of value, you could be working for yourself, but you have nothing of value to society, you're probably in debt because of bad choices, to get a degree in something not worth a fuck, and are hoping that the world caters to your needs, and not the other way around.You can make a living working for your community, but instead you think some higher system of power, either a corporation or the government should pay you to be a lazy piece of shit instead.
Why do all the biggest chinese nationalists live abroad.
>>719785724don't worry, automation and ai is either going to save us or take off the bainaid faster
>>719785839delet this
>>719777476Soviet union was constantly expending using war if needed
Lukas, just because you watched too many communist video essays does NOT mean you actually needed to cut off your dick
>>719777476Good bait, keep it up anon!
>>719777237The normalfag goycattle fallout 'fans' only care about their programming and virtue signalling
>>719785832>goyim only capitalism works the only other system in world is communish okay?there are billions of systems and you stick by the one that rewards literal evil genocidal freaks and puts them in powernice going retard
>>719777237Leftists manage to miss something obvious, and make it on le bad capitalism.
>>719785839To enlighten the savage and ignorant west suffering under capitalism
>>719780306I always hated how Bethesda went way hard into the retro aesthetic. In the OG's, it was cutscenes and pipboy artwork only. In Bethesda fallouts it's in the gameplay, character models, buildings, etc.
>>719785839take out the chinese bit for a better axiomit's much easier to glorify your shit when you don't have to actually deal with it
>>719785839same reason muzzies migrate to non-muzzie countries.slavs to non-slavic countries and spics to non-lantix countries.
>>719777237Because getting social media impressions requires good bait and pretending to be stupid or factional is good bait.As for the image in the OP, the original Fallouts and most of Interplay's suite of games were for the most part just commentary on society from an outside perspective, allowing the player to bring the biases rather than the game itself.The end result is a game that doesn't preach at you, which is why those games are still loved to this day by its original fans, beyond just nostalgia.
>westoidspost hand, thirdie
>>719777237Why is Tim Cain on the far end of the spectrum?
>>719786924because he's much smarter than emil and smarter than people who enjoy fallout slop at face value
>>719784375Path of Exile kept getting more and more complicated and is now a multi billion dollar franchise
>>719777237Media Literary isn't real until we all completely reject this essay.
>jewish americans defending their war crimes again
>>719787054Never read it, doesn't look worth reading though.
>>719787105Oh fuck off with your moral grandstanding, every fucking country has done terrible shit
>>719787105war crimes isn't an argument against anything when every country has commited them, it's just a cope argument for brainlets who are too scared to have a real debate
>>719780306>I always hated how Bethesda made it so everyone in the 23rd century's obsessed with the 2070s and lives like the bombs never fell. It's fucking retarded.LMAO Troon Vegays keeps preaching to the player that fascism is bad especially if you join the Legion and get preached to by all your companions and miss out on 90% of the game because almost all the side are about helping the NCR.
>>719777476Let's just ignore the militarization of the South China sea
>>719788561>Slavers are big problem to supermutants>a bunch of raiders give supermutants troubleWhy didn't BoS wipe out SMs, again? Surely trained Paladins in shining Power Armor, armed with Gatling lasers and miniguns, can push back the dumb orange ogres, if a bunch of raiders with hunting rifles can "hold them back"?
>>719777476> a working definition of what capitalism isprivate property and free trade. It's not rocket science
>>719781904Taiwan was always part of China, thats like saying a state in America can succeed if they want to
>>719789240Didn’t you play the game? The slavers are heavily armed with big guns and are held up in a venerable fortress.The faction writing on Shit Vegas makes even less sense.
>>719783783Stop letting corporations run the government and it will stop.
>>719789521The point of Fiends vs. NCR is that, while NCR can wipe out the Fiends, there's no political will to do so. Also, Fiends have cool Energy Weapons, which lore-wise are superior to regular guns (even though gameplay-wise they're not).
>>719777237These woke faggots with their short lived small rebellions against their own crack me up. One sit down with a fat lady, and that's that, back to the full party line.
>>719788217yes but america does it recently on the regular and gets away with everythingiraq, palestine, khadafi. they were dictators but kept their animals in checkfunniest part is how they left everything to the terrorists hiding in the mountains
