there’s something to be said about how the protagonist from Bioshock 1 is a genetic slave with no functional identity, yet completely destroys a supposedly individualist utopia
i’ve never quite figured that out, but Ken Levine is a goofball. At least he knows libertarianism is gibberish and that American nationalism is racist to its core
Completely missing the point. The libertarian fantasy utopia completely collapses from a lack of any market regulation. A con artist figures out how to game the society and make a ton of money by being a predatory business man, cornering the market on genetic mutations. The utopia’s founder sees this and says it’s against the rules to make a bunch of money, sinks the con artist’s department store, then a civil war starts because there’s a huge underclass that doesn’t benefit from any of the utopian libertarian stuff.
I think the in game timeline from the city’s founding to civil war is about 9 years. Rapture is shown as completely dysfunctional and I don’t know how anyone would interpret it as anything other than a failure cooked up by an insane goofball.
if you wanna go by Texmex standards, beans are basically mandatory
If you wanna go by traditional Mexican standards for what a burrito is, there really aren’t any. Some parts of Mexico will tell you eggs and potato are necessary. Some will tell you it has to have serrano peppers. Central/southern Mexico will tell you that tacos and burritos are the same thing, or that burrito is just a northern way of saying “taco de harina” (flour tacos).
the vegan Texmex places around here will typically do a lot more effort than just a random assemblage of vegetables in a tortilla
trying to make a clumsy analogy and accidentally venerating John Brown in the process (which is the correct position).
also as far as I know Karl Marx congratulated Lincoln on the 1864 election not the 1860 election. By 1864 Lincoln had become more practically anti-slavery compared to his initial platform in 1860. Lincoln repeatedly proclaimed his position was to contain slavery, not eradicate it, but the horrors of the civil war probably changed his mind once he saw the stakes at hand. His 1864 platform included a proposal to end slavery by constitutional amendment.
what is this even supposed to be saying? That a vote for Kamala Harris is actually voting for a ceasefire in Gaza? Harris is currently responsible for a genocide and her platform is to continue support for genocide. She isn’t even proposing to limit, contain, or pressure Israel into stopping. She just had a meeting with Netanyahu and shook his hand like three weeks ago. A better analogy would be an alternate reality 1860 Lincoln as a southern democrat with a lifetime of lending aid to slave states, then ran for president in 1860 and said some wishy washy things about how he’ll wag a finger at slave owners. But he’s been personally selling whips, chains, and plantations to slave owners for decades. Then he invited the largest slave owners of every southern state to a big banquet and shook all their hands. And then I’m told by the 1860 version of Va*sh that Lincoln is actually an abolitionist, or that we can’t worry about slavery right now because of other things going on.
i wish these liberals would just come out and say they do not care about Palestinians. Like you could at least say Lincoln was proposing to limit slavery’s expansion, and he foolishly believed this would end slavery. Harris and Biden have no proposals whatsoever about Palestine other than give Israel more weaponry and aid. They’re not even pretending, they’re fiercely pro-Israel in a way that can’t be compared to Lincoln’s tepid, flawed incrementalism.
I was walking in the swamps late last night and a vile hexbearian rushed up to me, let out a massive fart, then screamed beanis
Is this the kind of world we want to leave for our children
