@ghostwife @healyn You can see this in how furious he gets about AOC. Shapiro goes to Harvard and becomes a middle-tier blogger, Ocasio-Cortez tends bar and goes to Congress. He's the most extreme version of the adult who still grouses over being in gifted & talented in fifth grade.

That political quiz is obviously junk because there are only two political philosophies that properly capture the fediverse:Ironic Posadism and Post-Ironic Posadism

@garfiald @johnpierremaeli there's also a certain strain of very orthodox Marxism that rejects any consideration of subjective values as intrinsically confusing base and superstructure

@garfiald Americans don't even riot for elections, which like, what the fuck, if your supporters won't even torch cars then you're not a real political party

@garfiald Sans is the closest thing Undertale has to both player-peer and divinity, and accepting him as a smash character is, as you say, the destruction of his meaning.In this way, the act is an act of human sacrifice.The Christian angle is obvious: Sans, divine and human, must be sacrificed in order to pave the salvation of humans, here meaning Sans as issue is destroyed to save indie gaming.However, the Anglophone has not truly escaped its Germanic history, and the blót. At the blót in Uppsala, the sacrifices are for the gods yes (capitalism here), but the trees from which the sacrifices were hung were imbued with the divine as a result of their participation in the sacrifice. While yes, Sans is being sacrificed to capitalism, Smash (the trees here) gathers more divinity to itself by being the site of sacrifice.

@garfiald "bad things" are illusory: they are just instances of the one true bad thing, which is bad in a way that escapes space and time

I think financial literacy is a valuable service for leftists to provide. The problem is that the term is associated with jackoffs rambling about stock yields. Financial skills that are actually useful:Dodging collectionsSuing predatory financialsDefault strategies Identifying predatory financials Strike organizing
