Oh, no gaslighting detected. I knew Mulberry St. Just never saw that one or like half of the ones that artist has rapped. Apparently he liked The first of Octember as well, since it seems that was the very first one that he did

I have genuinely never heard of half of those books. The first of Octember? TF?

Just kinda ignore the Lovecraftian horrors, I haven’t seen those IRL, lol.

Oh, definitely. I still chuckle occasionally when I’m reminded by my Dungeon Defender friends that they cannot fathom playing a single game that takes weeks to finish. Meanwhile I’m laughing in EvE Online veteran. Titan Construction V took 8 months to train.

Not the previous commenter. I have been enjoying learning a ton about real world geology from the game. Also as a IRL blacksmith, the smithing and smelting mini games are surprisingly correlative.

Stellaris full price is like $300 for the whole game , sure I literally got the base game for free, but even buying expansions on sale, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve spent over $100 on Stellaris, and I don’t have all the expansions as I only buy them on sale.

I like people not being taken over against their will. I hate all current governments none are remotely good.

So you can’t do basic arithmatic either. Fuck off illiterate racist bigot.

Fuck off racist bigot.

I watched Tiananmen Square happen. Your lies can’t stop the truth.

I didn’t define personal property, my bad. I didn’t think I needed to.

Personal property is anything that one can own that is used regularly for their daily lives. This wouldn’t include multiple residences that one rarely, if ever, uses. Those empty real estate “investments” all over every city in the US would be Private property and therefore abolished.

You are correct, I’m taking a bottom up view as opposed to top down, because I find that method helps to manage the corruption of the ruling class. I don’t see the PRC controlling their ruling class as much as I see them controlling the lives of the workers. Same for the US. I HATE ALL the liars at the top that steal from the people, and enrich themselves to the detriment of us all.

I can see the argument that lemonade kid could be considered petty bourgeoisie in the current situation, especially in the US, since the other kids may not have the means to set up their own, but I assumed we were speaking in theory, not what is in practice for that bit.

I read the lengthy explanation, thanks. I can see that the outward explanation does try to align with socialist principles, in practice I have the same gripe about the PRC as I do of the US. They don’t need to know that much about you or me. No government ever does good things with that type of information, and it will always lead to suppression of the workers. I will give the PRC credit that they seem to be heading in the right direction, but let’s not pretend that it is a socialist utopia. As I said, from the outside, and speaking with a lot of your tourists and immigrants, the PRC looks a lot more capitalistic than socialist.

I do agree that if they tried to go full on communist that is practically inviting the CIA to try to destabilize the country. I just think that if any country actually wanted to support their workers, they would get rid of their billionaires. I also don’t believe any of the governments have any incentive to change the status quo, unless we threaten to burn the whole place down. Peaceful protesting isn’t working. Shooting people seems to get more attention.
