And every flake has a lock file which makes it unique.

Huh? What did I miss?

Kind of lays bare what a fucking useless category “extremism” is, doesn’t it?

This is not to take the heat off of Trump and his coterie of tradcath fascist weirdos, but to extend it to the more “normal, respectable” fascists who also richly deserve it, but who we have been taught to view as lesser or necessary evils. Good cop, bad cop, ACAB.

Yes, that is pretty much the gist of it.

On ML, they often complain that “authoritarian” is a liberal buzzword to make foreign governments seem scary. And they do have a point here, because it is used like that in liberal discourse.

However, I think the word is still useful, as long as you don’t selectively apply it and also use it to criticize liberal democracies.

What is this? Femcelmemes?

Paraphrasing Daniel Baryon from his Work “a modern anarchism”:

Authoritarian is the description of a system that behaves in such a way that institutional power is concentrated into the hands of a minority.

It applies, though. At least in the only logically coherent definition I know. No matter how commonly it’s used.

Is there anyone on lemmy who doesn’t view Trump as an authoritarian wannabe-dictator?

Eww, I got classist identity politics propaganda in my feed.

Don’t spread classist propaganda. Overalls are sturdy trousers for heavy work. The one on the top’s job is to look pretty. The one on the bottom does some hard, manual labour in these clothes.

I’m not saying one’s better than the other. Just that these people are graded on the same scale thah different jobs don’t satisfy.

The one from yesterday was slop. This one at least some effort behind it (not much - it’s still a shitpost).

I hate this little fucker. It’s so obvious that it’s the culmination of the Disney marketing machine. Such obvious manipulation to sell a mediocre product, that I don’t get how people can seriously like this!?

Also: Disney sees Grogu probably as more of a success than Andor, because the merch sells better. Or have you seen kids with Mini-Luthens?

Miss me with that slop

Looks like slop (position of the night stand is in the middle of the bed)

I got the soundtrack for that

Sure you don’t.

You comment a lot for someone who doesn’t care.

It’s well liked by critics (88% on metacritic) and the audience (very positive on steam). Your opinion is an outlier. Let other people enjoy things.

It doesn’t require multiple playthroughs. The game’s chapters are just structured in a weird way. Each “playthrough” that’s required has a different perspective and/or story than the last one.

Even if you consider each chapter a “playthrough”, then each of those is just a few hours.

You’ve said that already. You’re entitled to your opinion that many people disagree on.

It is many things. Boring is not among these things.

It’s called giving the game a chance.

,If you don’t enjoy the gameplay after let’s say 2 hours, it’s fine to just stop. If you play something without enjoying it, that’s on you.

Having a lot of players getting bored and dropping a game before it gets “good” is a bad thing

I’m not aware that many players dropped the game. AAFAIK, the game was positively received and many people liked it.

And I didn’t say that it takes a while to “get good”. I said that it takes a while for the philosophical themes to show.
