The art direction and the combat mechanics. But I can’t be sure.

Got ’em

I’ve never met an actual Christian in America. They’re all fake as fuck, and there’s nothing about abortion in the Bible. It’s one of the easiest moral questions, one that ethicists don’t even bother to debate anymore: no, we shouldn’t force women and children to give birth to rape babies. wtf.

Sure, that’s one practical aspect of money that lends itself to superficial quantitative analysis. But it’s not the whole picture. Money is fundamentally about the power to get people to do things for you. That’s what it represents. With money I can force people to give me things and do things for me, almost like magic.

Now the origins of money is rooted in debt (and power). When a ruling body exercises a monopoly on violence over a region, it can offer promissory notes (IOUs) that others value, because they have faith that this ruling body can force its citizens to work by extracting taxes from them.

Check out “Debt: The Last 5000 Years,” or similar anthropological work on the origins of money.

Keeping consumers alive as a class is indirectly encouraged in capitalism.

All they want is money, which has nothing to do with consumers whatsoever. Corporations could extract money by devouring each other, or by taking over a nation state, or by hijacking a treasury department, or by issuing their own money a la crypto. Remember that money is an abstraction (or an instrument) of power. Violently subjugating a region is tantamount to possessing that power (which we call money), or the ability to make others do what you want.

This is such a fantastic summary of the theory of money. Holy shit.

Well, yes, but Americans support Zionism, and genocide is something the current president has explicitly endorsed.

Religion is a monstrous evil.

Currently, Palestinians.

The US is also hellbent on exterminating dolphins and every other living creature until we can achieve a Mad Max apocalypse.

The US with Christian Nationalists at the helm.

“For a long time.”

Implying that the allure of pork cannot be denied.

What a bizarre comment.
