Socialism works until it doesn't


Look up the "Perestroika" project from 1980s.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/C8YDTFjvV7U?feature=share

Socialism is so whack the Soviet Union tried to cultivate a more efficient model for it and still failed.


Socialism/Communism are an "Everybody wins" ideal, cause Capitalism made production look easy. 

  • Many people don’t like capitalism because it leaves people behind, the corporations. Exploitation.  And they think equity is justice or the answer to that & the working class owning the property makes everyone a winner

thing is, idealism sounds great but it ages terribly. 


The worst thing about Capitalism is without a doubt: Exploitation and will atrophy of constant production. But the benefit that is production, competition and thus advancement. 


But it can atrophy, which is why mixed-economy adoption of some socialism can be beneficial (welfare, family support programs, etc.)


Otherwise It’s why Warfare is lucrative in it’s own ways, competition drives production. 

  • With a system of total equity, you stifle possibility, potential and what would happen because there’s inequality of circumstance. No one is motivated to push the boundaries because the outcome is guaranteed regardless of what you bring to the table. 
  • Not to be confused with inequality of Human Rights but inequality of production and ownership of property is the point here.




“So you’re not competent enough to compete so here’s a handicap because you’re that useless.” - The condescending attitude of Equity *coughcough* DEI 


Or your economic circumstances make you so out of the league of smarter people, here's a crutch.


The complaints about Capitalism come from people mainly in Capitalist systems who need or want for nothing because the system they hate is why they don't go without.

Rarely do these people ever break off and go find out, try it for 4 or 10 years and tell us how great it is. They stay their asses right where they know they’ll keep their wealth.

Or these socialist streamers with expensive as fuck homes aka private owned property, because socialism; known for people owning their own property that others don’t have or have access to

 

Even tho Bidens team was scum for that border policy, there's a lesson in the mistake.

People weren't running from China to North Korea or other Socialism/Communist (same fucking thing) states, even tho they were closer in travelling distance than America.


 There's a reason why they went to the Americans land.


People don't go to failed  models (Socialism/Communism) for a fresh start, they don't move to another country with a socialist system they were already born in and already knows is garbage, they go to the system that works.

If Capitalism was that antiquated, people from socialist states wouldn't have been literally breaking national border laws just to get into capitalism. 


The Capitalist nepo babies simp for socialism but never let go of the skirt of capitalism; yet the people born in socialism/communism don’t run to more socialism but instead run to Capitalism. Why are we pretending Socialism works when you won't go try it for yourself.


The punchline writes itself, and it’s not just nepo babies, people’s own language in the overarching media sphere with DEI programs and diversity efforts: “EQUITY” (Forced outcome, not earned)


Equality suddenly changed to Equity, mass gaslighting & now people think "that’s how it’s always been or?" They think it’s the same thing, the people running the flow of the zeitgeist ain’t slick, tryna change language to a more socialist leaning mindset.

There’s Socialist parasites in the upper echelon too that think the color RED (Socialism) is greener grass--- But I repeat, instead of these rats going to socialist states that already exist, they instead want to pervert & warp America into another 


“Socialism works guys, we’ll get it right this time, promise!” 


But meanwhile capitalism pays their bills, they own property out the whazoo, whole islands under their name (I certainly can't take my ass there when I want, because that property belongs to them, NOT US), & they manipulate the proletariate with various private owned companies, items, organizations, propagandas, inheritances closed off from the lower class (NOT SOCIALISM) and infrastructure they only possess because of personal owned elements---


Is that Socialism? Nope.

It’s CAPITALISM.  Unless we accomplish making socialism look superior by using socialism, we’re making socialism & communism look weak.  (cause it is)


Elites using a system that’s benefitting them to hype up another system that constantly fails. Proof being: Socialists thriving in capitalism while masturbating to socialism..


Capitalism ain’t perfect, it’s subject to exploitation of people & property and the have nots suffer. Some are lazy, most just start off at a bad beginning point than others, that’s literally life thus "economic factors" hence the allegedly need for equity. 

The Lion & the hamster are not equals, but both have to make it work. 


Someone is born in a poor home with a healthy body and will live to see 80. A wealthy child is born rich, but only has 20 years of life to live because of illness. Is it equitable? Nope, it’s reality. Have’s and have not’s.  

There are things socialism just can’t control, which boils down to the issue with socialism: The illusion of control & fairness. And forcing an outcome for the have not, will not mean fairness for the one's ignored for the person who fit the right box. Someone will be a have not, no matter what you do. 


When Capitalism does show more of it’s rusty bits beyond exploitation, it’s often when you try to force Socialist practices into it, which to no one’s surprise involves extreme left, woke ideologies that emphasize collective & equity over individual earns & efficient production. 

Not perfect but efficient enough, because Capitalist production is not perfect. 


There is no utopian formula to civilization, just the one’s that work and the one’s that don’t.

 

Equity over efficiency. Capitalism to Socialism to Communism isn't an evolution, it's age progression to inevitable death. 


Which is why mixed economy works (America, Norway, Germany, etc.) works but trying to force Capitalism to be a new Socialist state turns into decline.


Socialism & Communism aren’t bad in concept, they work better in concept in fact, emphasizing welfare, public access to goods, nobody left out, working class has more control so workers are exploited less, everyone’s a winner and shit.....while the money’s hot anyway, and everything starts out good initially. 

 

Thus it’s all rainbows when it’s early stages of infancy socialism.  Thats what homegirl in the video testifies per North Korea.

Socialism works until you run out of money, until you get mileage, until you realize everybody winning tips the scale in one direction & someone is going to lose, or everyone will eventually. Equitable balance is an extremity, thus it’s not balanced. 

Because stifling production to force equitable outcome stifles production, why work harder or innovate anything when the outcome is the same. 


The aging process is where it gets messy for socialism. 

When you really pay attention to what it is, thus what it is is an attempt to force a fair shake for everyone, and that’s impossible. But it’s out of good intentions.

But as with anything, forcing equity, or forcing anything with good intentions is not organic nor by proxy a good thing. 


  • Example.  if Hannah provided a model for a company that boosted sales ten fold from then onwards for decades & she puts more into her work but lazy ass Derrick & Olivia gets paid the same as her anyway and they’re always late. That’s Equity. a forced, leveled outcome regardless of input.

 

Forcing leveled outcome is not fair to the people carrying their weight, equity & socialism are made from good intentions but burns everyone because it’s anything but fair when the point was fairness. 

Because no matter what you do, you can’t make people capitalize on their own potential to push harder, and if you get an equitable means regardless of what you do, why give a shit to try at all?

Everyone is not a winner, no matter what you do. But with socialism, you guarantee everyone loses eventually. Ask the Soviet Union, ask the National Socialists of the 40s.


America & her interests (for the most part/& for now) are still here, they’re not. 

And socialists occupying the states (who have made their presence known in various forms of media) will be the reason America ultimately falls, not because of capitalism, despite it’s faults.


Cause socialists like to plant socialism in a form of quasi-success/ prosperity that socialism didn’t cultivate in the first place then wonder why socialism fails. 


“Equity” is a socialist element, so this shift from equality to equity is a red flag that said occupation in the States is accelerating shedding it’s subtlety.



And really, it’s okay. Every country doesn’t have to be capitalism, but  It just kills me how these people & young wannabe Socialists (IN SPIRIT ONLY) or these upper echelon posers want to slither socialism in the zeitgeist but meanwhile they own islands, domestic land & various other investments nobody on the street has access to, completely private. Which spits in the face of what they claim to believe in. 

The point of socialism & then communism is everyone sharing the same pot so everyone owns something, and has something the other possesses, common welfare. Community Commonwealth. That’s the point. The best thing about socialism/communism is: good intentions.


Can’t make this shit up. They themselves don’t even believe in their own bullshit but always have the word “capitalism” in their mouth while sucking on the tit of capitalism, that’s the part that gets me more than anything regarding actual socialism or communism as concepts, it’s the hypocrisy for me.

They're Coming for the Christians (Christians can be annoying yet left extremism ideology echoes a religion)



all i know is if it's a fairytale, then why put all that effort into persecution of this and no other religion, what makes this one so special. I don’t see it.

  • Discrimination can’t be it, if it is then clearly one hasn't sampled The Quran, Five Precepts or average dating standards ¯\_(ツ)_/¯modern discrimination isn't unique to The Bible

The precepts chastising casual sex or misconduct in that regard is discrimination but I don’t see people tryna cancel Buddha or the Tripitaka or any other texts.


I always ponder:  If I had to choose a god to follow, hypothetically, I would’ve said Buddha (i like the steps to enlightenment, it’s  a good read) 

but these days, I changed it up. Christians wouldn’t be the ones to convince me tho (they’re annoying sometimes, but no more annoying than the DMV or social media during June), the one’s that’d convince me to commit ironically is secular society’s gag reflex to accountability & how that relates to we/ the secular’s hard on for and against The Bible & no other, for some fucking reason lmfao --  


Being a third party watching this in motion, it’s surreal. You can’t preach “tolerance”  then exercise discrimination on your side when it’s convenient, we’re acting just like the people we think we’re protecting minorities from lmfao. 

  • They had witch hunts, we have cancellations. 
  • They exiled members that defied the will of God, we will end a persons ability to feed themselves over a joke from 20 years ago. 
  • They had congregation, we have mobs to bar people from leaving buildings, death threats, all kinds of stuff.


The Christian God preaches forgiveness, charity even when it’s inconvenient  vs  people afraid to say anything in fear of social obliteration is what tolerance grants you.

 Doesn’t sound much different from the confines of an out of control religion. In this case, “god” besides the Gov., is the 2nd collective-- Society, zeitgeist = “What you’re supposed to believe in currently because the rest of us do.” aka consensus.


The Quran is shorter, you’d think that’d be easy pickings for roastings but nope. The God that showed compassion to a prostitute and treated her like a human being vs old senile men of religion who were ready to put her in the ground for being a sex worker--- 


THAT’S the God you want to go after....the religion about the guy who routinely defied religious zealots in broad daylight and to their faces. 


No group & or nobody  is this threatened by something that’s 100% bullshit.

 that’s what keeps this interesting to me.

Dead Space 2 Retrospective | A Nearly Perfect Sequel


Dead Space 2 Retrospective | A Nearly Perfect Sequel



Dead Space 2 Retrospective | A Nearly Perfect Sequel



the second ones best traits beside the weapons is as you mentioned the urban infection angle, the school, the suites, seeing the empty bloodied homes, the necromorph variety. Great, but still, DeadSpace 2 is too action theme park for me, the first one is the most authentic, the one that most emulated it's inspiration; ALIEN, way more attention to detail to the subtle atmosphere of horror.

 


And while we revisited locations on the ship in DP1, that's not a bad thing for me, retracing steps adds an element of "coming full circle" narratives. Consistency. Which is part of why Alien worked, the isolation of the same locations.


There's no Clarke screaming "NORTON!" every other cutscene like a disappointed parent lmfao, in this case/game it's Stross that whole subplot annoyed tf outta me. Stross was setup in Ds:Aftermath movie but he did nothing but takeaway my interest in the game. I really wish we got to kill him sooner or gave us the choice to.


We need a Dead space where we play as a disenchanted Unitologist (a high ranking priestess & former military or police to explain the combat skill without a suit) who finds out the hard way that their religion ain't what they thought it was, now they have to fight against what they were groomed to be true, resist what they thought was the road to nirvana, have them survive the Earth infection & they see the Brethren Moons show up in swarm just as Clarke & Carver show up and by act 2 they team up or something. Anything.


Different character, we get a more intimate perspective of a necromorph outbreak, and most importantly we get humanization of the Unitologists, we get to see how they tick from the perspective of someone who whole-heartedly bought the sell. Don’t give the character too many lines, maintain the  quiet / the walls have voices atmosphere like DP1 and say a good chunk of the game is her looking for her kids to find them merged together with the father as a new type of Necormorph, give us some brutality along with tragedy, and a new enemy. 

Something genuine bruh.

DP2 mechanics with DP1′s entire game design..




Dead Space 3, bloated, shit story, average. 

Dead Space 2, great. 

Dead Space 1, GOAT; most consistent to the actual/original point of Dead Space.

*edit, confused Norton & Stross as the same person because they both annoy me in the same way; wish i coulda killed them both hours sooner in the game and make room for better story elements- an easy form of payoff of having to stomach them would be turn them into a special necromorph and then the player can kill them ceremoniously. Nope, couldn’t even get that

Analyzing the My Hero Academia manga (volumes 28-41) --- Horikoshi and the multiple endings


"This is how it ends initially & this is the true end; everything else will just be a retooling imposed by the fans"

He called it, cause thats exactly what Chp431 was, just meaningless pandering that upset the actual "The End" & retooled the same ends and it still sucked because KH either has no experience with relationships or just avoids it on purpose for personal reasons.

Some writers don't know how to write couples, but try anyway even if it means bad romance but KH is unique in his consistent aversion to even try, like he's terrified of cementing a couple.

There's no way you make a chapter to please shippers & the entire chapter is about everything else but them being a couple, in fact Ochako spends more time with Spectral Toga than Deku lmfao.

And wrapped up with a sterilized platonic gesture bro handshake, which I personally don't dislike if it was any other story but even thats founded on nothing because after Season 2-- what did these two even have?

The most that happened in between was the black whip situation & she stepped in, yet that happened due to events, not them actually wanting to be around each other, she didn't meet Inko, he didn't meet her parents despite we the audience seeing both their parents. So what it took for her to want to be near this boy was him almost killing someone.... thats your ship?

He couldn't even give us a chapter with just them hanging out alone, recapping how close they've been since Final War arc end, anything. But no he had to give us the ranking of Mirko, Mt.Useless and everyone else in the industry which is alive & well because nothing matters. Because that's exactly why Izuko has no track record as is, he repeats the problems that robbed the characters in the first place while thinking he's providing closure.

Giving us the dillon and dutch handshake scene from Predator; had faith in Horikoshi, didn't work out. gee, who saw that coming

The "Fans" need to just give up and make their own shit.

when cult mentality labels criticism as "hating" no one questions anything, get exactly what you deserve; Otherwise if Horikoshi really was this fragile when it came to the fanbase, while no guarantee he would've listened the fandom slim could've saved the story by criticizing this crap before it got to this point.

oh well. oh whomp

Analyzing the My Hero Academia manga (volumes 28-41) -- Horikoshi's concept vs execution problem


Analyzing the My Hero Academia manga (volumes 28-41)

Analyzing the My Hero Academia manga (volumes 28-41)

Deku's character development deadass was learning it's okay to be an emotionally indulgent crybaby, the strength in crying and smiling. Because if you’re not doing either one, apparently you’re not a strong person.

(I wouldn’t call Deku a pussy because he cries, he doesn’t have to Kenshiro. And yet, it’s not tears, it’s volume, he cries too damn much. Kenshiro has cried, when it meant something. AANG, Avatar Aang, the poster boy of how to Shonen *nice guy mc* the right way, has cried but only when it meant something----- Deku is not a pussy because he cries, he’s an emotional mockery because he cries too much)

which is exactly what he was before, a tear factory- except now he's deadpan here & there. Pure regression, KH lost his own plot.


The whole show (Move 4 “You’re Next” included) solved it’s problems with beating the shit out of the villain, let me repeat that: 

MOVIE 4′s solution to Dark Might wasn’t an extended hand, it was the classic, stylistic violence with music in the background for victorious emotional cinematic guidance or manipulation to make you ignore the fact that that movie was set in the same exact realm as S7, Deku claims he wants to switch his formula and yet the movie shows the complete opposite. OOPS!?


And Star's treatment was hilarious, KH dumped all that exposition on her quirk, then those flashbacks, the 1st movie even went so far as to show her as a kid, and she died right there anyway; then trying to show her as cool for poisoning AFO in a way & affecting him later, while meaning nothing to any of the characters, thus she means nothing to us.

Even Yagi's reaction was next to nothing.

Not having star mentor deku or give him refuge overseas so he lies low from japans villains, all of that was a miss. Just waste after waste after waste.

Those kids dragging him back to that school was symbolic of his character being kept in a box, and it's fitting that the school at the time looked like a prison, because for Deku, thats what it is.

I’ve said it before during S5, said before it ended, said it before it was cool to “hate” on it,  and I’ll keep saying it as someone who doesn’t hate My Hero, never did. 

That’s why I didn’t “wait” so speak up, or one word reply the entirety of the show vs having reasons. 9+ years of wasted potential is worth more than just calling it “shit” and more complex than calling it a “masterpiece/golden standard/ new era/ end of an era/ an era at all/ cinema”, which it never was.

If Deku beat 1A & came back on his own terms, leagues better. If he came back without the mob melodrama & ochako speech which just repeated Iida's moment in Season 1, so she didn't do anything unique- all better, give him the decision.


If he came back & made it clear he's not staying but simply cooperating with the heroes; Just that simple clarification would make Deku independent and his own man. Instant agency.

Horikoshi kept putting more food on his plate in plot and characters (Don’t believe me? There’s 300+ characters, why that many for one N*99a?), not knowing what to do with the entree's he didn't finish already. And he did it to himself, repeatedly, for years and for no reason.

What I noticed watching Season 1 is the first 5-6 episodes actually were not that bad, Bakugou needed a punch in the mouth, and a better reason for that hatred but the show wasn’t bad. 


But what I caught was Deku lost priority the minute the other characters started talking more around EP6-8, thats when the 1A clustermess began. Not them talking at all, but talking more & more. 

Like June from ATLA talking at all didn’t take priority from the main trio in Book 1, but her getting a subplot all of a sudden about her family drama that takes up chunks out of the whole of the show? Yeah that’s bullshit.


Hell, Jet got better handling without hijacking anything.

MHA was the lovechild of a western culture fanboy (respect) who had talent for art and no plan (mistake). The man needed a legit team, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Avatar the last Airbender contrary to popular belief, as much as Ehasz carried, he wasn't the only reason why that show slammed. It wouldn't have been what it was if it wasn't for the fact that it was a collab effort of people with vision (Bryke), people with a writing plan (Ehasz' team, not just him) and the talent to auto-correct the rough edges (ultimately Ehasz, which is why he was consistently “Head Writer” throughout the show, not sole writer), it’s not just one person that makes it. 


Because even if one person can manage to do both art & story, they are definitely getting inspiration, encouragement, better ideas, discouragement, & evolution from other writer, other movies, shows, experiences, people people people are what makes creation from babies to art; no one person (especially now) is going solo on anything anymore.


Good writing is just an aimless potential without a provocative idea, that's where Bryke came in. Korra was dogshit because Bryke had good ideas just like before & no one to buff the edges or course correct the concepts with good writing.

Horikoshi however, is the complete opposite of why ATLA works still to this day. He had vision for concepts, art. But bro didn't know what he was doing or where to take his ideas.


Horikoshi needed help, his immediate fanbase on twitter or whatever platform he was active on- them complaining yet without giving him proper direction & thus influencing his changes and him doubling down (including the damn epilogue which is why we technically got two of them). That is not a team effort, because there is no team, that’s an amateur mob,  that’s taking advice from the wrong people.


Mangaka need to stop carrying these loads by themselves, it’s not healthy and they unravel eventually anyway. That’s why these Shonen begin hype, end meh & people always always always pivot and about-face when post-nut clarity sinks in.   

Horikoshi needed an Ehasz team, better advisors, head writers who respected what KH wanted, could disagree with him, and make better executions while staying true to what he was going for. 

My Hero would’ve been a beast.

Lily Orchard: A Rabbit Hole of Depravity (CD-Call)



"I would recommend that you relax and enjoy your fantasies" Firebrand said with a smile "You'll find that once you do, you'll be feeling less guilty about yourself, and less likely to think you'll do something you'll regret-"

36:40 Actually, the action we'll regret is not growing the fuck up and letting the fantasy go in the first place.

It's a fantasy for a reason, it's compensation for what we're not doing or haven't done or haven't received properly in life; otherwise to be a more complete person.

Fetishism is just cope, a jagged puzzle piece people JAM into a space where closure & growth should be.

Which is why most fetishes resemble a form of arrested development.

And this dude really projected that in their story akin to looking in a mirror and saying "Just do it", 36:40 There's no way this goof really wrote that in there.

Parenting is not a spectator sport.

This is why people need to think, these fetishes aren't a manifestation of something that went right in life. That's why it's a fetish and not an actual accomplishment.


This is like bashing your hand with a hammer until you stop feeling stimuli in it, you know it's counterproductive, doing the action adds nothing to your life, you're technically not hurting anyone else & it’s a form of “expression”-- and you get a kick out of it.

So desensitizing your NATURAL resistance to the idiotic engagement (which is second guessing yourself), vs pumping your brain with poison until you feel nothing is the best one can do, or rationalize it vs actually evolving as a person.


Numbing yourself to conviction is devolution, path of least resistance is the perfect formula to stay a prisoner in your own mind  And for what. Absolutely nothing.
