There is actually an ability to grow wealth in 3rd world shitholes, that involves the growth in complexity of economic systems, and increased productivity and efficiency. You can't do that with hand-outs, though. It requires ingenuity, responsibility, discipline, and innovation within the people themselves.
Wealth is not finite. At no point has wealth been a zero sum game, that's a Marxist argument. Wealth (weather asset or liquid) can be built up as a result of having more of those assets or liquidities to transfer for better use.
Foreign Aid doesn't actually help anyone except people attempting to exploit the aid. It is actually guaranteed to damage the local economy by disrupting it with a large inflow of money that is being spent on industries not relevant to expanding economic complexity. If doctors and miners temporarily leave their jobs to become taxi drivers for westerners or bureaucrats who stole the money, the efficiency of the market collapses.
It didn't have "nothing", it just didn't have any of the features it promised to have implemented. The core game play was still present.
Speaking of which, the core gameplay shouldn't evolve. If it doesn't, you're making a different game.
I was talking to someone who is suppose to be a creative director who insisted he didn't think people could write "authentic" stories without having some lived experience.. it was very strange and I thought, my goodness how can characters ever be created then by this person? I don't know who imposed these restrictions on people or the idea that someone can't write a type of character without some "consultant"....the free market determines success, but i really do believe every single person is capable of telling a story...
We know precisely who imposed this. This dialectic is built into the Social Justice Racket to force over-hiring of dependent upper-middle class theater kids who make a large majority of the newest generation of "entertainers" in the entrainment industry. They are also an ideologically captured client group to Leftists. "You can't write a story unless you personally experienced it", means that the bigotry of low expectations is at it's strongest, allowing the least meritocratic people of all to enter into the creative arts by force. You are being required to hire low IQ individuals and/or individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder that do not have the intellectual capacity to pass a fucking Theory Of Mind test.
And since you will have not experienced many things in your life you're going to have to hire dozens of these people. Your artistic work will be turned into a make-work project for a committee of delusional idiot ideologues that don't have the ability to rotate an apple in their own head. This will be considered the only way to run a profitable company in CURRENT_YEAR + 10 by the Marketing, Public Relations, and Human Resources departments. And if you don't like it? You get the ice pick treatment for being a counter-revolutionary that Trotsky got.
This is why you call it out and kick it in the face the moment you see it the first time.
They still don't get it. We hate them almost half as much as they hate us.
They can't believe that anyone would hate them even 1% of how they hate us, when they are perfect beings of light and magic and we are all stupid bottom-feeding scum that barely deserve a merciful death.
Sorry, I don't mean to say that. "Furry Art" as a thing we've seen emerge is a western phenomenon, not an eastern one. Hentai just has a similar effect of causing men to self-groom with pornography. Anime and Hentai just don't get the level of scorn that furries do because they are almost entirely human, to the point it's not really even appropriate to call anime characters anthrophomorphic. They are, at worst, almost exclusively human, but then someone drew cat ears on their head.
Holy shit, Ori and The Based Forrest for Game Of The Year apparently.
When it comes to the stories we’re telling, I always approach it from a human angle first and foremost and let the story tell me where it needs to go. If it tickles me to have a gay character in our story and I feel like that character could be fascinating then I will push for that. But I would NEVER make a character gay simply because some outside party told me that it’s hip to do so and that we might face backlash if we don’t.
Yeah, this is not the screed of a rightist, but is instead the screed of a genuine artist protecting his art from the Social Justice Racket.
He doesn't know how hard he's going to have to keep fighting on that line until he learns it really is just a political attack, and even softspoken attempts to "tell a new story" are literally the same level of maliciousness as what he's dealing with now.
He's looking at it as a kind of "Consultants are greedy idiots", but their not idiots. They are your intractable enemy, who's sole purpose is to destroy art and turn it explicitly into propaganda. Their greed is partly for embezzlement, but a lot is for redistributing your wealth to other activists and perpetuating the aggression of the Social Justice Racket. It's not greed v. art (which will always be used as follow-up attacks by Leftists who will frame greed as Capitalism, while explicitly profiting off of these attacks). It's Leftism v. humanity. It's evil v. good.
People end up thinking that's a reductive analysis, but it's genuinely not. It's a foundational one.
The remaining problem is that almost every single person claiming to have the interest of a "race" (usually used exclusively as a political construct, like the muslim "race") at heart is almost always lying, or is simply applying an ideology and claiming that that ideology is the only way to help.
This is why Leftists claim that Communism is the only solution to help women as Feminism, the working class as Trade Unionism, and nature as Environmentalism.
Someone trying to actually benefit a group will admit that they can't actually use an ideology to benefit the group, and that the only way towards prosperity is for having each person repeat the same steps that literally everyone in history has had to repeat, regardless of ideology: responsibility, discipline, long-term time preference, saving money, saving money.
I actually don't think it's a "degenerating into it" situation, but is instead a kind of self-grooming with pornography. I don't think you're going to find any cases of men who are consuming normal pornography, stop consuming that porn and switch to drawn or animated fictional characters. We certainly don't see older men switching into furry porn from regular porn. And furries are very clearly younger and male.
What I argue is that you have emotionally under-developed young men that find anthrophomorphic (literally human-like) characters to be very relatable. These anthrophomorphic characters are literally designed to be simple and easy-to-understand symbols of specific behaviors, attitudes, mental states, or emotions. As such, they tend to be extremely relatable because they are literary devices that act as a stand-in for the viewer's own internal dialogues. If these characters exude any kind of sexuality or romance, this can basically "cross wires" in an emotionally under-developed young man who can suddenly find that relatable character to be the closest thing they have to a "crush". Obviously most movies and TV shows don't go too far due to broadcast restrictions, but if these young men have access to internet porn, suddenly they'll literally have porn of those characters; which if viewed repeatedly will effectively groom their sexuality towards those characters rather than real women.
This is a long-winded way of saying, Krystal from Star Fox didn't make anyone a furry; it's that young men basically used Krystal as an outlet for sexual frustration that caused them to groom themselves into furries with internet porn.
This likely isn't any different from the rise of hentai use among young American men. I think all of the mechanisms are the same, the target of attraction is just slightly different
You can keep making up whatever bullshit narrative you want, but u/ernsithe is correct, I'm literally responding to the quoted tweet by "carolannleif".
You should never vote for someone because they are the same gender and race, because Communists are literally using people of the same gender and race Judas Goats for the sheep to follow.
Or, they are just frauds who don't give a shit, and are literally claiming ownership over you.
Elon Musk says that women are adult human females, which is incompatible with Leftism. The Saudis are beheading dissidents. Mass executing dissidents is well within the moral framework of Leftism, and is an optimal outcome. This is why Musk was not invited, but the Saudis were.
I contend that Furries are actually in a significant number of positions of political, economic, and telecom power.
This wouldn't be an issue if a slew of them weren't also being used as stormtroopers for the political left.
It does mean that HR may require "horny jail baseball bats" going forwards.
White women should vote for Trump because the populist movement will actually give them husbands, families, and wealth.
Jewish women should vote for Trump because the Hamas supporters and Black National Socialists literally call for their deaths.
Yes, your Leftist friends hate you. Yes, even you.
I don't make it "ENEMY = ON", but there's definitely consequences, even with people affiliating with you.
