Do they not get that they lost?

You are overestimating Trump winning effects on pop culture if you think Mel has a future. Stallone is safe but not genuine way that Mel Gibson returns outside the Passion sequel.

Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge was nominated for Best Picture in 2017. He was nominated for Best Director at the Oscars. This was the time Ricky Gervais asked him what sugartits meant on stage. 

He’s not showing up in Disney Marvel anytime soon. But he hasn’t been Kevin Spacey leper status for some time.

So? A nomination almost a decade ago.

Mel Gibson should make a movie about Sitting Bull or Geronimo and it'll be fucking fantastic.

the game director of dragon age the veilguard (who may or may not be trans) has resigned



rumors are that the game sold 1 million with 10 expected/needed, and their headquarters will likely close in february

I don't understand why she had to resign though rather than just pulling a barve??

 

Of course the usually bustling Dragon Age thread is a ghost town.

So many people ignoring the first PoliEra massacre of 2020, when people were perma’d en masse for daring to suggest that the allegations from (current RT contributor) Tara Reade should be treated with some skepticism.

Community never really recovered from that.

A certain admin and crew wanted it to be true. Just like they accuse liberals “wanting Gaza to be worse under Trump” to be true. Blue MAGA for sure.

While I'm deeply uncomfortable with laying all of the blame on economic factors--especially since if it was purely due to economic factors, we wouldn't be seeing this trend among even wealthy people and it's genuinely an excuse without anyone working towards a solution--there is a factor that goes unspoken about imo.

The economic factors are the root of the problem. We live within a system where selling your labor is the manner of livng in which 99% of people must abide by at risk of death. That system also strictly organizes, specializes, and thus ranks labor which physically, socially, and culturally isolates the workers from one another. That system also undermines valuable labor- the labor that actually produces goods and services that society relies upon and wants- and overrates mere ownership, such that the people who provide the least amount of actual value to society are likely to be some the wealthiest.

These fundamental contradictions inherently incentivize the wealthy to isolate themselves from the masses (we had a thread about how wealthy people are just oh-so lonely too), because being wealthy in a system where money is the sole barrier between you and death, a system where most people will never be wealthy, and a system where slowly people are waking up to the fact that it is inherently unjust, means you would be stupid to be a billionaire and live amongst a crowd of folks who cheered on Luigi Mangione.

No, you park your ass in your gated mansion and pray to your god(s) of choice that the plebs continue fighting amongst each other for scraps instead of coming after you for all the wealth you've stolen. But this in turn means you are also isolated and susceptible to the anti-social consequences of this system that you maintain, because how many people can you realistically have meaningful relationships with? Even if you're palling around with other wealthy people, can you ever be sure that they're not buddying up to you, or even secretly praying for your downfall, because you might still be richer than them? What about if they're richer than you? Can they ever trust you?

Economics isn't really just about how much money you have, but about how land and labor are used and owned, and thus how humans physically and culturally organize themselves amongst the world and amongst themselves. Currently, the way we have organized society is a veritable breeding ground for anti-social, anti-human, and anti-life behaviors and beliefs.

We should probably get rid of it.

Eh, but what do I know?

If you disagree with Nepenthe, she'll ban you. How's THAT for antisocial?

I blame Era. You know a lot of them were waiting for it to go on sale before buying. Snakes not supporting their side in the culture war.

No one is really talking about it yet. I guess they are waiting for the chud videos for more outrage material.

Sorry for interrupting your guys' discussion; I may regret posting this, but can I say something as a non-US poster?

I came to this site for video game leaks, but I've posted in many topics about Asian politics and culture since 2019.

I've personally seen a number posters from the Asian or former-Soviet bloc posting about the political reality and oppression they've faced, as well as their life stories, but were accused of "being lied to by the CIA" or "pushing an agenda," mostly by people who claimed to support diversity and progressive values.

I've been accused of these things on multiple occasions across the years, and more than once, people subtly indicated that I was faking my identity. I normally deal with this ok because I have thick skin, but I've known several users who, in a situation comparable to mine, have departed out of frustration or post rarely.

I am thankful that there are people who are nice to me and praise me for being patient, but I afraid my patience is close to running out. Like, when I put the things I need to explain into the context of the US political system, it's like people asking me, "Why are the KKK bad? Aren't they merely silly guys wearing pointed hats?"

These days, there are times when I feel I'm going to lose it if someone says "but WHATABOUT AMERIKA" to me one more time.

Make no mistake: I am not posting this to push mods to take action. If anything, I'm grateful that the mods haven't banned me yet lol. It's tough to pass judgment on a political topic, especially when most people are unfamiliar with the subject I'm talking about.

I don't expect anything by posting this, honestly. I just want to find a thread that is quiet enough to let me rant a bit without being judged, to share my thoughts——sometimes I don't feel well about things I've read, even if I try hard to remain calm（Come to think of it, this thread isn't always so quiet, with people arguing heatedly from time to time lol）.

Well that's about it.

Mekanos being the author of that crazy manifesto shouldn't be too surprising. He is one of the tankiest tankies on ERA. Only our dearly departed Thordison surpassed him. I'm sure Mekanos had an axe to grind with B-Dumbs and crew banning all his fellow tankies over the years and had been building that manifesto for a while before the PoliERA massacre last year.

Extremely funny to write up a manifesto that unhinged and get caught out because you had to screenshot your own personal gripe

RIP Chief Malik. Honestly, props to Dubs for finally doing it.

Booshka looking over his shoulder for sure.

Writing a manifesto to mod whine is embarrassing. Make a spin-off forum of a spin-off forum like a normal person.

Look Vladimir. Maybe you got Seagal and Rourke but I have Sly, Jon Voight and Mel Gibson.

You better make a deal before I take Robert Davi and Arnold off the board too.

Yeah she's trans and unsurprisingly really championed the character creator. Though she was also brought in some time mid development so BioWare managed to fuck up on their own quite well too

Fall down the stairs and die on your way out, you genocidal marionette piece of shit.

Send him to The Hague. Fucking demon.

Drop dead you piece of shit.

How I wish the worst upon him...

Hopefully he dies very old and his mental decline never stops

Nice board there, Dubs.

And we're supposed to be the hate machine.
