I was thinking that maybe some people (of those who are still surprised) haven't played/don't remember Outer Worlds. The signs were already there, strong women CEOs with courageous haircuts everywhere, needing no one's help (except the player's); a lot of men were, if not just incompetent, evil or both; etc.

Maybe you saw his video, but just in case: [Enter Bandes Dessinées: The Best-Kept Secret in Comics (https://youtu.be/_EQpXHW8vrY)
He mentions some that have been already listed by others here. In addition, there's some timestamps in the comments for a few other titles such as The Long Tomorrow, Servitude, Undertaker (+ 'Blueberry'), Conan: The Cimmerian and Durango. Durango is a wild west comic which isn't(?) available in English but he seems to have translated 8 of them himself. If you're interested you can find the links to the translations in the video description.
Multiculturalism doesn't last, it's a death sentence for smaller languages/cultures within a multicultural state. Multiracialism is a death sentence for White people.
Multiculturalism might not last but preventing it might be a tough sell and would require the intervention of the state. Multiracialism will never work as long as the same state is aggressively pushing it. The people have to oppose these issues themselves, even against the state, in order for any of this to at least slow down if not stop. And if the state doesn't fear you, good luck! The state having too much power over its own citizens got everyone in this mess. Maybe.
What I was arguing is that Islam is a far greater threat than the others at the moment. Would you be accepting of it if the push came from those belonging to the same race and culture as you? Is there a way to stop all those issues at the same time at this point or do they have to be dealt with one by one? If I'm wrong then it's a good thing no head of state listens to me.
Multiculturalism in itself isn't always a problem, thought there are plenty of cultures with inferior or at least dubious habits and morals. Leftists have successfully converted this word and turned it into multiracialism. Europe was already multicultural, the USA were already multicultural and multiracial, etc. Some less meaning individuals disagree with proportions apparently. Ad to this that the heads of both unions, the EU and the USA, want to decide the population's composition artificially, and the race towards whatever lies beyond the finish line is on.
Ideology on the other hand... Islam coexists only with itself. Well not really, the Shia and Sunni still disagree a bit. Violently, from time to time (this is, of course, surprising).
BRIDGE is the equivalent of an NGO, SHRM in another one. DEI is being rebranded into I&D, equity in being added to inclusivity. To use a joke I made the last time I posted about his, I think it's because IED looks and sounds wrong. Although this thing blowing up in their face is the preferred result.
Celebrating too soon can be harmful, but schadenfreude is great.
That's the thing, this isn't about celebrating the small victories and having a laugh at the wokies' expense. It should be encouraged even, maybe. It pisses them off.
This is about people saying that war is being won and DEI going away. They're evading exposure now, entrenching further into these companies. Just like a while ago, companies such as Harley announcing they're shutting down DEI departments. Yeah, because the "work" must become corporate culture, a department isn't enough.
Or they stop over representing small demographic groups
We all should do a little trolling with this, even though there wouldn't be any misrepresentation. Whenever they talk about minorities, we should "act locally, think globally". Why, there's over a billion Asians, cant's be true, surely. Replace with relevant race, repeat.
Seriously I expect the wording to change.
Even though in some cases the language changes, it might be just surface level. A plague is hard to eradicate...
the left moves mountains and claims that it did nothing
The "work" is never over.
the right crushes a mosquito and brags that it has moved mountains
Sound like the "we did it, reddit" meme. While true, this isn't even about bragging. It's like winning the first match of a tournament and then going home expecting it to count as winning the final.
What's funnier is that all the EU bigwigs and media parroting the correct opinions, all of them were pointing their fingers at the Huns and Serbs for being Putin's puppets and not willing to go along with the sanctions. Lo and behold, if those numbers are accurate, they can't hold a candle to what the Germans and Italians are spending! Hell, even Lithuania forked over some serious cash.
USSR was never right wing.
No wonder, since they're that brand of communism that's never been tried. I never claimed that, that question was far from genuine on my part.
And you still haven't answered who you would rather vote for in my previous post.
I actually did. "You can also vote against both of them". That's what I'd do, either vote for/add another candidate, where applicable, or just invalidate my vote. You may be right, and those "somewhat socialist economic values" would be so minor that it wouldn't really matter, so maybe that would get my vote. Unfortunately, things are hardly "somewhat socialist", or maybe you're lucky and about to have the opportunity to vote for such a president. And it doesn't only matter what the future president's views are, it what the president's willing to do to change the system already in place.
Look at the USSR then, plenty of traditionalism, nationalism etc. a "little" dash of leftism. Are they a bit right wing? Some concepts are not specific to just one ideology. So the choice is between red and... pink? Sure, pink is better then red, so that might be the better vote (until it gets redder), but is anyone in this situation or are we dealing in hypotheticals? You can also vote against both of them, but that doesn't happen by staying at home as some people think.
Nationalism or at least some nationalistic elements are part of any strong society. Nationalism is also not tied to either side of the political scale - actual American nationalists, not the wehraboo larping faggots, are right wing, while national socialists are leftists.
Which is why I don't understand this "we're against commies so we must be right-wing"... Or maybe I do, it's just indoctrination, even if you do it yourself. Leftists will always fight each-other. Nationalism is just a flavor, not a full doctrine, you can attach it to a lot of things.
If people want to be right wing, or maybe a little bit more, national-conservatism is a thing.
Another funny idea is that a Jew can 't be nat-soc... as if the German variant is the only one. There's plenty of people they despise, surely.
I don't know what branch those people belong to, but the Gestapo was a thing. There's something familiar about cops going after political opponents or people guilty of wrongthink.. Maybe that doesn't mean one's a traitor to one's country.
There is no Diversity in DIE
They'll actually confirm this themselves, smugly of course. I don't remember what the company or project I read/watched something about but they were celebrating that their diversity rating increased because the number of whites decreased or just became smaller than that of the newer employees.
You know what it's all about really? It's about cheap labour
Having already done that by moving a lot of production from the US and EU to China and others... some might have figured that bringing said labor closer and not dealing with shipping might be more profitable. Add to that planned obsolescence and your printing money. Although some are getting paid better but maybe it all evens out.
Pretty much. Speaking of that new "modern audience" they keep mentioning every time, some have already figured that it doesn't need to exist. That's not the point. It has to be created, and when enough people belong to said audience and nobody remembers how things used to be, it will come into existence.
Well in some cases, as Kirsche mentions in that stream I linked, they use a faulty study in order to "convince" them their revenue is gonna go up.
Simple recipe really, create study, be the one that discusses it giving it credence, use it as genuine evidence. You'd think they work at Bethesda because "it just works" for some reason.
It's going slightly beneath the surface, because everyone has to do "The Work", not just some department.

+From a Kirsche stream I'd recommend watching from the beginning as it also has a recent video by Upper Echelon and why celebrating to soon is not a good idea.
DEI might change to I&D From the same stream as above: Equity is being absorbed into Inclusion (probably partly because IED doesn't look right...
At the 11 minute mark you can see the make-up of this cartel, this includes BRIDGE and some manufacturers and media. 9 positions in the executive committee - an uneven number to make it easier to obtain a majority. 6 women to 3 men. Of course their not even pretending to care about that "equity" nonsense and make it 5-4 in order to preserve some appearances, eons of oppression and all that.
Yeah because thinking is overrated (works even better if one's a narcissist). Why should you think about what the character represents/stands for and deduce that it's something you might want to emulate (or avoid)? You just look at skin (you can also choose your own genitals!!!) and say "hey, that's, like, you know, me!1!"
It's probably why we might want to ensure that we have a good enough memory (and a large collection of art worth remembering).
Even when they brag about their "stellar" work, it seems off, like a statement meant to be as neutral as possible. (Paraphrasing) Look guys y'all, this man person we helped make for AC:Valhalla, check out his fade. A diverse warrior named Vagn.
And the only response is from a studio they partnered with... quite the engagement.
I think they already caved once when that whole Spider Man flag situation happened a while back. I don't remember if they did so immediately or if it took a few days. This might just fly under the radar though, seeing as regular diversity is second place to the alphabet mafia.
Unity - Criticism - Unity (belonging, inclusion). Common tactics used on the common people explained by James Lindsay here: Mao, Criticism, Unity
Some are explaining her looks as "aging". Yeah, because nobody ages beautifully, not even in fantasy land.
I haven't kept up with any changes to the lore, if any, but her using signs and potions was strange to me. Ciri was already OP, being able to teleport anywhere at will, even in combat, so I wonder why they're going with that. Unless... they're going with a "she lost her powers" route, because of what shed did to stop the White Frost, but that would mean having to undergo the Trials of the Grasses which the other witchers were (at least somewhat) against. Especially Lambert.
Whatever the case, little to no faith in a new witcher sadly, no matter the protagonist.
