Cheese.....

It's going to be awful and I'm all for that.

My Life in a Brand New World with My Doritos Locos and Grande Baja Blast, now only $4.99 for a limited time.

I just wish they didn't all look like they were cosplayers who'd unironically shop at Spirit Halloween.

Better Call Saul is better. 😎

I think the overwhelming popularity of To Your Eternity has tempered my dissatisfaction with Demon Slayer some. Or Tokyo Revengers' manga outselling AoT somehow. Oh, and fucking Mushoku. Jesus fucking Christ. 🤮

I really like the first 2-3 episodes. I hear it was going to get cancelled so the author slapped on a bunch of cliche shonen junk and made it demonstrably worse, thus causing the immense popularity. I didn't reslly care for it once it violently shifted from mostly serious to having characters like Zenitsu. There was a tonal whiplash that soured it for me, and realizing it was made ultra-generic for sales numbers rubs me the wrong way

I resent the Demon Slayer movie for having the highest grossing theatrical release of all anime movies ever. Such an accomplishment for a film that released when there were no other movies showing. 👏

Prove they were.

I'm aware they're capitalist, however the economic mobility comes from their welfare programs business regulations. Afterall, social democracy is a hybrid of socialism and capitalism. They are more free, but also guarantee far more benefits for workers and average citizens than we do and since much of that system is collective it would be considered partially socialist. I'm interested in the primary definition - technically the 3rd can be lumped in, as opposed to the ones you're talking about since they tend to conflict with the principles as originally intended since it's basically supposed to be extensive democracy. I think something of that nature would have to weave into capitalism before it could break out of it into something beyond social democracy. At the end of the day, I'd be fine with just landing on social democracy since that's already been pretty successful in a lot of European countries.

I'm not talking about equal pay accross the biard ir anything. There would still be hierarchies for specialized occupations and companies still have control of what wages look like, there would just be more influence from lower level workers. Legislating rules like that in the US isn't going to happen when socialized healthcare is controversial despite most places doing it successfully. The definition of it is pretty close to what I'm saying and conflicts with yours moreso. "Regulated by the community as a whole" is pretty much the opposite of big government, since the community makes the rules moreso than a select few elected officials. I'd want a federal government to put certain limits or guidelines, like how we have safety regulations that state laws have to stay in the bounds of or, like, you can't legalize murder. All the definition comes down to is more democracy,. It isn't too far off from worker co-ops. The definition misconception comes from diictators using the word to gain popularity then abusing their power, but they tend to not really do the things I'm talking about. I'm probably ideologically around anarcho-syndicalist but pragmatically more soc dem. Like a generic Sweden simp, and they still have capitalism. I don’t really want communism, though, that's way too obtuse for me.

If I advocate for a form of socialism, such as "workers seize the means of production," what I'm talking about is democratic workplaces. Traditiomally, socialism is stateless and commonly side with anti-government activism. For instance, although nazi Germany used the word "socialist" in their party name, the first group they targeted were socialists/communists who'd aligned with anarchists. A worker co-op being socialist ultimately comes down to there being a democratic structure within the company, so leaders wouls be elected by the workers and they get a say in company policies, and wages - while not always equal - are more evenly split than a system that lets someone like Bezos make billions while paying workers minimum wage and forcing them to pee in bottles since bathroom breaks aren't allowed. Places like Soviet Russia, while they did implement some socialist policies, were anything but stateless nor democratic, so I don't consider them to have been in line with the general principles. I personally wouldn't go so far as to shoot for stateless, but I would ideally want the government to primarily be there to provide services like healthcare and school, and have the obvious natuonal security and whatnot. A lot of similar functions with the regulations aiming to protect the working class rather than the wealthy. I am simplifying, though, since my understanding of economics isn't the greatest. To be completely clear, while I ideologically fall in the realm of anarcho-syndicalist (basically small government socialist), I wasn't strictly talking about socialism when I said that art existed before capitalism. I was speaking in broader terms that I think regardless of economic structure, so long as the country has the resources and freedom, I think media such as film or animation would still come to be. It's so theoretical that the only real basis is how historically people are always making things of the sort, even if it puts them at risk of execution, so I don't see any reason to believe animation could not exist in any meaningful way outside of capitalism. It was never a strict indictment of capitalism, despite personally disliking it for a number of reasons. But that definitely got tainted by RACG's genocidal advocacy of socialism (I don't even consider her to be socialist with how authoritarian she is). I also wasn't proposing this, as it's unrealistic to expect any time during this life; I was responding very specifically to the claim of anime exists because of capitalism. I probably should have been more clear given how out there RACG is.

Wait, do you people not understand that markets existed before capitalism? Like non-socialist markets? What the actual fuck?

And..... you get paid in worker co-ops. Usually more. Did you read actually anything I said or just decide loose critique=Soviet?
