>what if the religion WAS the capitalism, so we could complain about both at once?Really groundbreaking stuff here
>story is about a dying god desperately clinging to power after her followers betray her>hmm, how can i make this into /pol/shit so i can complain about it on /v/?why are you like this
>villain suffers an unreasonable amount for no reasonwidow
>>720425821I dunno man, call me a commie but maybe the 1% owning half the world's wealth isn't a good idea
>hallownest bad because dictatorship>pharloom bad because capitalism>pharloom also bad because religionWhat the fuck does Team Cherry want? Do you want rule by the priestly, warrior, or merchant caste?
>>720426262>Anon forgets about universal sufferage democracy model that he most likely lives under
>>720426302That would be merchant caste rule.
>>720426331More like snail caste rule
>>720425821>WAGIE WAGIE
>>720425821I want a story that explores how to some people "consumer protection" is like a religion
>>720426302that's merchant cast, especially if you let women vote, especially especially if you make voting mandatory, woe betide you if you've got bothoh god I want out
>>720425821>what if the religion WAS the capitalismYeah, they were... For a long time
>>720425821Anon taxes were just tithes in ye olden days.
>>720426846last guy to seriously spread that idea who got notoriety got shot in the neck think being aganist those ideas are beyond the pale for most people
>>720426331>reading about the transition from medieval to early modern economies>peasants were forced in both periods to sell their crop to grain merchants at a fixed rate and then were unable to even bake there own bread after buying inflated flour prices
Bro could you do me a favor and roll your eyes a little further backwards so you can see how small your brain is and shut the fuck up from embarrassment?
>generic dystopia run by clearly defined bad guys>certain demographics whinge about the mockery of their ideals and way of life
>>720426251Hierarchies will always exist. Best you can do is either get to or influence the top of the Hierarchy---and not with something gay and cringe like voting.
>>720427413*their
So unrealistic, churches would never flex their wealth
>>720425821Prosperity gospel is cancer.
>>720429294>priest caste in control of capital>beautiful timeless architecture that brings you closer to God and uplifts your spirit>merchant class in control of capital>here is your concrete square, im going to fill it with criminals and foreigners who hate you for no reason
>>720426251Yes. That's why all communistic economies fail, because it's 1% owning all the world's wealth.
Money doesn't come from theory, it comes from the sovereign. Economics is just human action and the sovereign decides what actions are permitted. Communism is when Stalin decides what you can do with his money. Capitalism is when Rothschilds decide what you can do with their money. National Socialism is when Hitler decides what you can do with his money. Theocracy is when the Pope decides what you can do with his money. All the rules of an economic system can be changed or ignored or enforced on a whim arbitrarily by the sovereign, and so there is no good or bad economic "isms," just good and bad rulers.
>>720429294meanwhile, atheistic communists:
>>720425821>>what if the religion WAS the capitalismPlease tone down the antisemitism boy.
>>720426262where's the rule under the scholar caste?
>>720426262Hallownest was good tho. It had an actual golden age.Pharloom was shit from the start.
>>720430461nigga do you think it was godless commies and not god-fearing monarchists that kremlin?
>>720425821>what if the religion WAS the capitalismit's the other way around
>>720426262Any games where it’s the opposite and they say all 3 are good?
>>720430618>communists kill said monarchists >communists move in>"hehehe, we didn't build it so technically it's not hypocritical to live inside while comrade Ivan and Boris freeze to death in the slums, hehehe"
>>720425821>what if the religion WAS the capitalism, so we could complain about both at once?wasn't this like half of the 95 theses
>religion baddaring today arent we>first game has the evil black void killing and raping the concept of light to death>infection was basically religionno that wasnt subtle enough now they are posessed by silk like god rays and float in saintly ecstacy
>>720431007It's funnier because we never learn why the bugs turned away from the Radiance (other than the meta explanation that bugs get confused by and bump into light fixtures irl)
>>720426262>Do you want rule by the priestly, warrior, or merchant caste?I want rule by the meeeeeeeeeeee caste, which consists of meeeeeeeeeeee and only meeeeeeeeeeee.
>>720426302>original inhabitants dying out due to laws implemented by ruling class>ruling class imports violent foreigners that murder, rape and never integrate>soon later those invaders outnumber original inhabitants and just abolish existing kingdom, recreating what hellish squalor they lived in before being importedit's super easy to write dystopia about our current situation
>>720428050>I'm gonna suck off Soros just to be contrarian on a video game forumHoly shit lmao
>>720431469Creating a dystopia is the goal. Lord Moloch, the insane demon god who rules over the entire cosmos, despises goodness. It offends Him like a powerful stench. So He must be allowed to rampage until He has destroyed every last bit of goodness in existed, and He creates a cosmos where evil has finally won and everyone in all worlds is tortured forever, just for His amusement.
>>720425821
>>720428050It's unhealthy and bad for competition if it's too concentrated. Hierarchies without the threat of ever being toppled by someone else creates laziness and compliancy. You can have hierarchies without it being broken like it is now.
>>720430569priest cast
how the fuck is that your takeawayhowthere is nothing negative about commerce in this game at all you're in an evil kingdom propped up by a false god
>>720425821>every time someone points out the theme of exploiting peoples faith for money and power, aka scientology, /v/ goes absolutely mental and breaks down because theyre too stupid to see the obvious allegory>except this timewhat do? every time I said it and fucking layed out the exact direct references in game, some mouthbreathing sky daddy lover had to become argumentitive and insulting because they were too stupid to even realise the first couple of NPCs literally tell you the rosaries, which are an IRL religious symbol of faith, represent their devotion to the faith and also are traded as currency - even over geo which still exists in the game in the background, because its just that specialCould not accept the whole idea of paying to sit down in act 2+ was a direct fucking point being made about the exploitation, these niggers climb this dumb mountain to see "the grand gates and prove their devotion" only to be picked off along the way, to deny fast travel as it "isnt going to prove their devotion" and finally be forced to pay to rest up a bitits literally telling you religion is nothing but blind faith that forces people to accept suffering that is passed onto them by the powers that be who really only want their material worth. Before the world went to shit it was built to exploit these people from the start.
capitalism is a religion doughidk hate rabbi worshipers
>>720426302>sufferageheh
>>720426262Hallownest was great until a moth chimped out.Also, a society falling to ruin in a fictional story does not mean the writers believe every single society following that system is "bad". It just means that particular example was bad and failed to overcome specific trappings.
>>720430854There are many flaws you can level at the soviet union, but "not building houses for people" is absolutely not one of them. They're famous for their commieblocks for a reason, anon.
>>720432419this was actually a more succint version of what i was going to post, thanks anon
I just wanna fug the bug.
>>720435217>represent their devotion to the faith and also are traded as currencyThe hunter journal text about the Covetous Pilgrim where Hornet muses on whether it was merely greedy, faithful, or if they were the same thing in the land of Pharloom was probably intended to really hammer home this point if people hadn't already made the connection
>>720430594>Hallownest was good tho. It had an actual golden age.>Hallownest was great until a moth chimped out.Hallownest had card-carrying psychopaths for nobilty and the monstrous king, who left behind humongous piles of corpses, evidence of cruel experiments, twisted abominations and mindless brainwashed servants, and who considered showing a soft of emotion to be the most shameful moment of his life. Do not mistake what surviving enforcers and supporters of the Pale King tend to say for reality.
>>720425821>t.cogwagie
>>720436807>considered showing a soft of emotion to be the most shameful moment of his lifebecause he did it during a time when he needed to keep his emotions in check or it'd destroy a project to save the entire kingdom
>>720426262They are lefties. Assuming they are just stupid and not actively evil, they want to destroy everything because that will magically produce an utopia.
>>720436807Everything bad the pale king did he did to fight the m*ths.
>>720426262>game based around ruined civilizations>these civilizations had systemsHow fucking could they?They're so fucking woke I can't believe they're allowed to do this shit

>>720437169if anything the 'message' is more "collapse is inevitable because people are fucking retarded" which is 100% true.
>>720437224No that post was in jest
>>720425821>aiieee, if you make a fantasy world where religion and capitalist exploitation work hand-in-hand, that means you are modern day and woke!!!These groyperniggers are getting pretty fucking tiresome.
>>720432419Actually funny as fuck post.

>>720440472u r dum
>>720440586so you have no source or arguments. kys liberal leftist
>>720440673not sure if russian bot or actually retarded
>>720440318Semantics, point stands
People are really grasping at straws for reasons to attack this game, huh
>>720440725I'm not a russian but I still understand why russia is fighting for their life in the ukraine. Because left people like you will always trying to kill family father or Christianity.
>>720441164>I'm not a russian but I still understand why russia is fighting for their life in the ukraineyou know they could actually just leave ivan? you dont have to lie here, youre russian
>>720441971cope harder
>>720442202okay and now tell me why exactly a german comic making fun of british colonization is wokei seriously wanna know the russian perspective on this
>dude silksong thread>It's all bots spewing outdated armchair opinions Huh?
>>720442325because the comic is fake. no one serveral hundred years ago would ever do such shit. It's modern commie shit. Made with AI. Look at the font. totally fucked up with artifacts. I bet people like you are laughing about Charlie Kirks death who was a normal man and a normal family father who just wanted to talk.
>>720442491>Look at the fontits called fraktur you retarded russian fuck
>>720426262hallownest bad because the sun was a BITCH, it wasnt the pale king's fault>but what about the kidsno cost too great
>>720435217Why are you acting like this sort of story/setting is unusual or rare? This is one of the most basic bitch "allegorical" stories in gaming, you get eye rolling because it's so utterly predictable. Silksong isn't even the first indie metroidvania to do this, the setting is so similar to Blasphemous that you might as well call it Blasphemous with bugs.
>>720426262>>hallownest bad because dictatorshipTeam Cherry have never said this, and the story does not say this. Hallownest is a good society that fell apart because of a vengeful god and because the king's desperate measures to protect Hallownest failed because he wish to be a father overrode his wish to save his kingdom.
>>720442428>>720437620Built for bug men cock
>>720432419At the core, almost every online outrage boils down to this.
>>720440275Indulgences do not forgive sins.Indulgences are the forgiveness of the temporary consequences of sin.The church has the authority to grant this, just like the church has the authority to grant forgiveness of the permanent consequences of sin.With that being said, it was wrong for indulgences ever to be given in exchange for donations. The Council of Trent condemned this.

>>720436471They could have been living idyllic pastoral lives had it not been for the goddamn commies.
>>720440443bro, you're brown. the fuck you're babbling about?
>>720440443>The Jews lived only to await the coming of the true God and left the world the true God. The Greeks deified nature and bequeathed the world their religion, that is, philosophy and art. Rome deified the people in the State, and bequeathed the idea of the State to the nations. France throughout her long history was only the incarnation and development of the Roman god, and if they have at last flung their Roman god into the abyss and plunged into atheism, which, for the time being, they call socialism, it is solely because socialism is, anyway, healthier than Roman Catholicism. Close, but Christ is still king. Catholics are the problem.
USA’s religion IS capitalism though
>>720444839Wrong.It's niggers. >No wonder you get get such questions in school. The American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Mike Tyson while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers
>>720429990Who's talking about communism? This false dichotomy has to be one of the greatest jewish tricks.
