What if I told you that's exactly what the original creators intent was?

Corporations launching the nukes first? Was intended by the unreleased fallout film script?

Contemplating nuking the factions? Ulysses already did it.

The Enclave didn't even exist until Fallout 2. And that game was a massive meme. And you already know which faction and city survived, if you played it.

In fact, the show went out of its way to explain why vaults are the way the are. There was nothing special in Fallout. They became a social experiment for Enclave in 2. They were a complete mess afterwards.

The show isn't very good, because Fallout isn't very good. But it is indubitably Fallout. 2 more than than any other entry.

What does this have to do with marxism and the working class?

So I do this largely forum-based RP and one of the big things there is 'faction' RP, where there's a big emphasis put on geopolitical stuff. Since like 2019 I was doing RP partly as an exercise in social fiction. I also run a character who left the Jedi Order because it was full of idealist pussies and liberals. He has since become Mand'alor and rides a boomer-ass Basilisk droid into battle, it's kino shit.

The Solidarity started as a coalition of Outer Rim spacers, droids, and AGIs who rose out of a massive slave revolt during the Hutts’ collapse. By ~300 ABY, they’ve grown into a hyperstate of around 100,000 planets, running on a centrally planned economy and labor-credit system. Their alliance with the Republic is pragmatic: both need each other against the Sith, but the Republic also keeps ties with the Hutts, who are quietly reviving slavery as debt peonage.

Militarily, the Solidarity fields smaller but far higher-quality forces than their rivals, avoiding clone or droid armies out of principle; they uphold a “joint dictatorship of the organic and synthetic proletariats.” They’ve just finished a war that quadrupled their territory and can’t sustain more fighting, so their focus is political: undermining and delegitimizing the Hutts while preparing their own Force traditions alongside the Jedi.

It's quite boring I found.


Also, I reject the idea that Luthen was a hero. He killed a comrade in cold blood. It wasn't even as if the comrade had done anything wrong, Luthen just made a calculation that he might get caught and be forced to leak what had happened and then decided to play god.

Luthen then has the gall to give a speech about how he's made all these sacrifices. But that's the thing, He made the choice to do that and that served his own personal narrative of heroic sacrifice, but he took away that choice from others.

It's weird and disheartening to see people defend Luthen's actions. If he had survived he would be at the very least court martialled by the revolutionary forces and disgraced.

>I don't write fanfic lore friendly I just do it as a take on the ideas of the setting.
For the best. Star wars is unfortunately a bourgeois dystopia on the level of the cyberpunk genre. As well as having an idealist, un-dialectical worldview, if we take Lucas "latest view" on it.

Plus, it not like the actual writers heading the star wars franchise, don't do the same thing for the content they produce. But the setting is conceptually intoxicating.

>>46112
>bounty hunter
petit bourgeois occupation. The Swtor MMO actually pulls no punches in showing how scummy the actual job being a bounty hunter would be, in said name's class story narrative. Commodification of killing and capturing people for the state, criminal elements, and capital. It's not a proletarian friendly occupation.

>best "argument" is a one-sentence quote (lol) by Lenin literally just saying he likes art (…? I literally brought up Marx saying he liked art too in the same post so you're also an illiterate faggot) and that "well, academics who call themselves "marxists" talk endlessly about culture ergo culture is relevant to communism, duh!"
<has the gall to call others retarded
Genuine fucking cattle. Protip: the "culture war" insult exists precisely because focusing on culture is PB nonsense, which is exactly what the politically impotent do.

>>47582
Yea dude youre a real fucking moron and your take is fundamentally undialectical.

And here is a list of Marxist (or at least adjacent) directors:

Eisenstein, Passolini, Godard, Pontecorvo, Sembene, Loach, Rocha, Tomas Alea, Santiago Alvarez, Boots Riley

Literally off the top of my head.

pretty cool that it seemed a while ago people were more cynical about mass media pandering to them with their beliefs and identities and now it seems people demand to be pandered to xd

>>47584
you still haven't explained why there cant be communist art - the thing the Bolskeviks and every revolutionary communist party was obsessed with building. Or more broadly why culture is somehow beneath the interests of Marxists.

Your incessant whining is ironically the same culture war bs you have an issue with.

What about Suite Life of Zack and Cody? There's an intelligent teen prole working at the candy counter and a spoilt and dumb heiress

Here's a video that again explores the *uncreated* or eternal aspect of the universe, from a Christian perspective, rather than from Plato or Hermes Trismegistus. As we discovered previously, time is the "moving image" of eternity, and thus its imagistic reflection. God then, cannot create, but only incarnate, as telosbound tells us.

Al-Sāʿah (الساعة), meaning "The Hour," refers to the Day of Judgment in Islam, spoken of in the Hadith, Sahih Al-Bukhari 81:40 (6506) as reversing the sun's motion:
<Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established till the sun rises from the west, and when it rises (from the west) and the people see it, then all of them will believe (in Allah). But that will be the time when 'No good it will do to a soul to believe then. If it believed not before.."' (6.158)
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6506
This caught my eye, because Plato also described this phenomena, in reference to the Greek Myth of Atreus and Thyestes, but also gives a Poetic reading, as referring to the Hesiodic Golden Age of Cronus, where God takes control of the world and reverses its decay:
<You have heard what happened in the quarrel of Atreus and Thyestes? 'You mean about the golden lamb?' No, not that; but another part of the story, which tells how the sun and stars once arose in the west and set in the east, and that the god reversed their motion, as a witness to the right of Atreus. 'There is such a story.' And no doubt you have heard of the empire of Cronos, and of the earthborn men? The origin of these and the like stories is to be found in the tale which I am about to narrate. There was a time when God directed the revolutions of the world, but at the completion of a certain cycle he let go; and the world, by a necessity of its nature, turned back, and went round the other way. For divine things alone are unchangeable; but the earth and heavens, although endowed with many glories, have a body, and are therefore liable to perturbation. In the case of the world, the perturbation is very slight, and amounts only to a reversal of motion. For the lord of moving things is alone self-moved; neither can piety allow that he goes at one time in one direction and at another time in another; or that God has given the universe opposite motions; or that there are two gods, one turning it in one direction, another in another. But the truth is, that there are two cycles of the world, and in one of them it is governed by an immediate Providence, and receives life and immortality, and in the other is let go again, and has a reverse action during infinite ages.

Prophecy from the Agni Purana (950 CE) concerning the Kali Yuga:
<Towards the end of the Kali era, all people will be dastardly. They will oppose the Vedas, become robbers and will be concerned only with wealth. The disbelievers will then become kings and these kings will also be cannibals.

the show is based on 3 short stories, this first season was the first one, and the second one is imo the best, so the next season should be even better

>dim witted
while definitely a bit slow, the man nonetheless has the "commoner wisdom" aplenty, and a decency that clearly lacks in the upper classes, which makes him very sympathetic. Only a commoner like him that learned chivalry from a jaded hedge knight can both recognize the story of lords and knights being honorable as obviously false, and still buy into it by applying chivalric principles himself

I also like that you see why the baratheon rebellion was successful: nobody really likes the targaryen, they're still perceived as foreign invaders with regularly cruel crazy lunatics in power, and without the actual dragons to enforce their rule they're very reliant on the big regional power lords which have plenty of rivalries among themselves.
The second season will expand a bit on the latest targaryen civil war where ser arlan lost his nephew (leading to him taking dunk as a squire as replacement and becoming a hedge knight out of grief), while still being grounded in the day to day of dunk

it's so fucked up how the show makes you root for dany

monarchist's kid, who have their "birthright" stolen

The Seven Kingdoms was promised to her 300 years ago

The Targ conquest of the seven kingdoms was historically progressive. Hang all maesters, exterminate the aristocrats, elevate the common folk.

>>47472
It would have been almost perfect (and I say this very seldom) if it wasn't for the shit, fart and dick jokes. I don't know why they had Dunk catapulting feces in the fucking opening scene.

I guess it's the medieval reality of constantly having a stomach bug and having to shit under trees, but did we really need to have this in the opening scene before playing elevating music?
>It has almost none of the grimness and politicking that were the staple of the original series
There is politicking, just more subtle. The scenes in which petty nobles talk shit about the Targs were enjoyable foreshadowing.

Absolutely manufactured drama tbh. People blew shit way out of proportion.

The Michael Kovach drama was people taking a stupid joke from years ago and harassing him into 'apoligizing'. Really he should have just ignored it, but apologizing gave these retards ammunition.

Then Gooseworx said on a livestream a while ago that Jax and Pomni are the main characters of TADC and thus will get the most amount of screen time/character development, and she doesn’t get why some fans are mad about that when it’s been clear from the beginning. Some people on Twitter/Bluesky had meltdowns over this statement, but not really directed at Goose for the most part. Some time after that stream, Goose was talking to some fans on a TADC subreddit, and while she did receive a few rude comments, most of them were pretty respectful. The same day, she deactivated her Reddit account. She also made a Bluesky post saying something like, “I’m sorry if I upset anyone with the things I said recently, I’m just trying to do my best.” This led to a bunch of people believing she was bullied off of Reddit by an angry mob of toxic fans. YouTubers started making “drama” videos about it like crazy, and fans starting sending a huge outpouring of supportive messages to Goose while also going on witch-hunts for these so-called “toxic fans.” Goose had to clarify that none of that actually happened, she’s just going through some personal mental health issues atm and it had nothing to do with what anyone said to her online. She deactivated her account because she just needs to get offline and take time to herself to heal away from social media. And she also posted something along the lines of, “I don’t want a personal appreciation week for having a public crash-out online. It makes me uncomfortable.” She just wanted everyone to leave her alone, basically. Even the positive attention was too much for her.

>the average fan is a barely functional human being, even the normie ones, literally a bunch of autists and/or (wo)manchildren obsessing over pop culture
You're not contradicting me. The average "fan" is part of a fandom. One can be a fan of a work without being involved in the 'community'
