Its setting is a reference to to a time and place when economics were much simpler

The author of Spice and Wolf covers more modern finance and stuff in World End Economica. I only read part one several years ago so I don't know/remember how in depth it actually gets. Maybe pirate a copy if you are interested.

First one is just generic stock market fantasies with the kind of too real ending you only get in literature the porky who was helping the MC was just taking advantage of him so he could repossess the community refuge he was living in and his dreams of the stock market were shown as temporarily embarrassed millionaire delusions
Second is just about companies generally lying as part of speculation
Third is the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis on the moon and is a deepdive into the causes and politics of it culminating them moving the moon into being succdem instead of borderline ancap. Third is easily the best and also really indepth although may not be of interest if you already know a lot about the mechanics of that particular crisis.

That actually sounds really good. I was assumed it was something a bit more libertarian.

I want to do this to my next vehicle. It might be a waste of money, but I want to trigger the asshole conservatives where I live.

I wanna itasha out one of these shitty Chinese 'golfcart' ev cars that are like 1k on ali.
make the ultimate meme machine cruisin around at 20mph max.

Alternatively it might be fun to ruin a classic Continental with itasha, for a car that actually has some fucking power behind it;
really make the boomers absolutely LIVID

So fucking tacky.

>>2247
I'm glad your personality fits in your car, my man. Let's hope those fucking "druggies" don't ruin it!

I want to make a Banner of the Stars itasha. I doubt many people would recognize it, but it's more for me than anything.

Also the SERIES is prob one of the best in the world

Do we even know what he really wants?

This is one of the first anime I watched when it aired and I regularly rewatch it even though I keep telling myself its just edgy stuff for normies. It has a charm that I haven't really found in other anime.

I't's also interesting because it kinda switches genres regularly. Going from soldiers fighting monsters to political coups to wide-scale wars.

Hange is insanely hot.

Yes

2bh it's not completely clear.
The Joestar mansion looks like a noble sort of aristocratic estate,
but George could have just been a rich English merchant.
I believe the implication is that they're nobility though, since Jonathan is just such a 'noble and too pure' sort of idealistic character.

>>2160
But for OP, what >>2161 is best in my eye; Jojo is too goddamned fucking stupid for there to be any overarching themes of class,
even in a subliminal way.
I honestly doubt Araki could even comprehend the notion of economic class.
Dio is quite literally comically evil just for the sake of being so, and is not meant to be reflective of any particular type of human in general: Dio or DIO, he in particular is just an evil fucking bastard simply because he is so don't bother questioning it.
And so is his dad.

SPEEDWAGON on the other hand is also a 'underclass dreg' sort of character, but he is the complete inverse of Dio.
He has honor and respect, he doesn't screw over everyone possible to get the upper hand.

The most evil fuck imaginable such as Dio only becomes a danger if he gets into power. The Joestar family's bourgeois naivete is very much responsible for letting Dio get worse and worse. I'd like a fanfic exploring what would happen if the Joestars just peaced out on the Brandos. Would Dio have become more like an evil version of Speedwagon? Would someone else get corrupted by the mask eventually?

There's little to no class commentary in JoJo. Whenever something like Nazis show up it's always stupid, comical and over the top. I wouldn't bother going looking for a profound subtext

Why are you retards making a new thread when there is already a Jojo thread?

>>2166
Them being aristocrats would tie in nicely with the Joestar blood theme.

>>2160
Nice analysis bro, ever considered setting up a youtube channel?

I'm talking about communist in the literal sense. Someone who wants a society without private property.

Boomersidal primitivism is just idealism.

This show would've been better if the advancements were slower because they go from being monkey tier tech wise to having phones in 24 episodes. I liked it anyway though.

>>2679
I expect them to construct a laser for something any day now.

I would be hard pressed to find any labour union anime, or animation in general.

This thread could be a general thread for labour animation also.

This show's conclusion still baffles me.

Organize the Lux proletariat against the Class before it's too late.

Does anyone have a Marxist or Deleuzian analysis of this. Am I going insane or is the city called Lukács, the two groups (body without)Organ and Lacan? Constant reference to The Spectacle? The Class? Everyone is losing body parts to technology? Something about will to power?

There seems to be something there but I'm not quite grasping it and all I can find directly about the show are reddit teenagers saying nihilism = meaningless.

> In paragraph 13 of Beyond Good and Evil (1973), he remarks that we should beware of superfluous teleological principles such as the drive to self-preservation. His own principle is more general, encompassing the drive to self-preservation but also the drive to self-destruction or self-overcoming: A living thing desires above all to vent its strength—life as such is will to power—self-preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent consequences of it’

>Deleuze comments that ‘Nietzsche criticises Darwin for interpreting evolution and chance within evolution in an entirely reactive way. He admires Lamarck because Lamarck foretold the existence of a truly active plastic force, primary in relation to adaptations: a force of metamorphosis

>Roughly forty-five years after this compelling, if heavy-handed, Marxist critique, Deleuze and Guattari appropriate a crucial concept from Worringer's life-philosophically inflected writing, namely, "inorganic life," in order to theorize the resistance to global capitalism. Through a close reading of Worringer, I pose the following critical question: How can a concept that was once condemned from a Marxist perspective as an ideologically suspect "flight from realiPost too long.

Have Yoshi survive and succeed in starting a civil war, which ends with a faction winning and holding complete control over the city. In order to maintain power and prevent another war, they keep a powerful military force, which is what they will use to defend against the Class and eventually invande and settle the surface. The revitalized people of Lux replace the stagnant people of the surface (who will probably upload themselves into a virtual world or something as a response) and civilization resumes its evolution. From watching this show twice, this is what I gather Yoshi's ultimate plan was, given that he knew the conditions of the surface people, the Class and Lux.

As the ending of the show stands, the robot-tree-people might or might not evolve into full cyborgs and eventually go to the surface. The blue-haired guy was crazy and seemed to have only intended to destroy everything, but then why make the robots and his own feet grow roots when the fighting was over? Maybe he really wanted throw the fate of humanity wholly to evolution, whatever evolution might look like for robots with human heads and roots.

The second season was announced a few weeks after I finished watching the first one and I was pretty excited because I loved DtB despite its flaws. But what I got was a fucking mess and the last episode aired on 24th or 25th December and it ruined my Christmas that year. The gaiden episodes were ok but they still left a bitter taste in my mouth.
It took me years to get over my hatred for Bones.

>>875
How did they get away with it?

>>876
No idea, I heard it sold well but apparently not well enough for a third season.
It's either that or nobody wanted to continue because they wrote themselves into a corner. A few years ago there was a small party to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first series, people were kinda hyped for an announcement but it was basically "we can confirm we won't continue it lol".
What a shame.

In retrospect I think Darker Than Black was basically the Lost of anime. When they started they had no idea how it was supposed to end and then they just pulled a bunch of mystery box stuff out of their ass.

What happened at the end of season two anyways
