  • Age appropriate? I mean it barely gets raunchy I have no concept of a child appropriate filter regarding when it is okay for them to hear “asswipe” aloud, I should stay out of that. I think introducing a child to Diablo style loot mechanics over repetitive gameplay isn’t much better than introducing them to League of Legends.

    I think his analysis of fascism specifically is a lot more incisive than Verhoeven’s. I have this problem of not being able to recommend things to people properly, because it feels like just restating the points made in a text, but in a lamer voice. lukacs-stare The Destruction of Reason is also straight fire. I really don’t think the psychological profiling or media analysis of fascist figures or media is helpful. It’s obscuring the historical emergence and progression of fascism in its different forms.

    It’s important to make a distinction between the “imperialism” of the Roman empire and the 20th century imperialist structure which coalesced in the 20s-60s, likewise we must distinguish between the existence of torture throughout history (often tenuously supported by Victorian hobnobbing and the ability to make a shitty little website that shows up on Google and little else) and the trail of forensic evidence we have stretching back from the SBU’s detention centers where they electrocuted babushkas thru the kidneys (I’m not kidding) all the way to Malaysia

    European colonialism is an entirely new phase of history that began 1000 years ago.
