LWDT VI: Kropotkin's Bread Dead Redemption.

[Hanafuridake]

Oh that was about anime?

Everything's about anime anymore. After people found out that one of the ways to make a political point was to put moe characters in red hats.

snipped because while it's well written, it's way long

Ah yeah, I heard about that. Anime News Network disparaged it for having the audacity to claim false rape accusations aren't an impossibility in the laws of the universe (like a naked singularity, or a free quark), and Anime Feminist refused to even review it for the same reason. Suffice to say I look to these sources even less than I did before, which was already a number less than zero.

My personal thoughts? It seems pretty interesting, too busy for anime at the moment though, and I'm not really fond of isekai either. There doesn't seem to be anything worth getting upset about with the show, from what I've gathered from more reasonable parts of the internet.

As a concept, I like isekai a lot more than it's actually written most of the time. Primarily because it devolves into harem very quickly.

Yeah, there is a lot more interesting things that could be done with the concept than is actually done. I personally don't mind harem (at least, in concept); my main problem with most isekai is that they're all too often in a generic medieval setting, which, while fun, has been done to death and back. That, and often (but not always) the starting world is more of interest because, again, generic medieval settings are rather boring most of the time.

I don't have anything against the concept of the "isekai truck" (aka "truck-kun"), but it could be (and in rare cases, is) used for non-isekai purposes, and I'd like to see that more.

Maybe if 95% of harem characters weren’t two-dimensional, it’d be a salvageable genre...

It's a good show, and the false accusation is only a part of a much wider narrative about how the guy's lack of knowledge about the world he's in, and his status as the "shit hero" leads people to exploit him. That in turn allows a cynical character who's a bit of a jerk to retain audience sympathy and also grow through learning to trust a select group of people as he goes along. There's no wider narrative argument made over allegations generally being false, the lie is presented as a shocking, very unusual and awful thing to do, and a quick look at who kicked up a fuss about this show reveals that they're all terrible people.

The only controversy is that some people prefer chunky birb over trash panda as best girl.

Panda is best. Even though I do like feathers.

Uh. Thanks for that.

As a fun fact, the whole ameriKKKa thing was started by a maoist group that did these absolutely insane marxist film reviews.

I actually do want to hear about the dialectics of Shrek 2. But on a serious note, the whole Anerikkka thing? What’s up with that?

All I want is a Yayoi period isekai anime where the protagonist invades Siberia and fights time traveling Putin.

But enough about anime (please). It's badly off-topic.

If I had to guess, it was probably a revival of the USSR's favorite deflection tactic: “And you are lynching Negroes.” because, as we know, the Soviet Union had absolutely no problem with racism, disregard all of those ethnic displacements.

[West Leas Oros 2]

As far as I’m aware, the Amerikkka thing is mostly a third-worldist thing, and is often used by their “edgier” members. See also “Shut the fuck up cracker”

Now that, I would watch.

As fun as it is to talk about, yeah, it's not really related to the LWDT.

"Shut the fuck up cracker" is usually used by the whitest "Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Third-Worldist" in the group, completely unironically.

Hearing “Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Third-Worldist” makes me want to icepick myself.

Playing Eu4 and sad that Dithsmarchen didn't have an imperialist attitude like you can force them to have in game

A peasants confederation would have been a nice addition to Europe.

Racism against whites and sexism against males is fairly normalized atm.

It’s actually concerning how the tables have turned.

I wasn't being ironic. Ofcourse it's concerning, but the progressive left refuses to admit they've made a mistake and alter course, they keep using the same ideological frameworks for understanding demography that lead to this problem despite it demonstrably failing.

The full blown pseudo-ancap right wing is capitalizing on it, but where there's a far-right alternative people are going there instead.

They look set to win about 20% of the seats in the EU parliament and be the second largest group there overall, behind the more mainstream conservatives.

It doesn’t exactly help that liberals attach themselves to leftism and sink them down.

Liberals are a major part of the problem in terms of their mismanagement of the economy and their toleration of progressive identity politics. They capitulated to the worst extremes of both ends of the spectrum with their toleration of conservative economics and progressive social policy.

It doesn’t exactly help that liberals attach themselves to leftism and sink them down.

Whenever I see progressives calling themselves leftists, especially on video-sharing sites, I offer an instant critique. Hopefully, they are grateful.
