Why can’t we just go back to being bros ?

Hey guys, remember squid game?

I remember how in 2021 it was a massive sensation, mostly because it was grades above most of the Netflix originals produced then, with the few competitors being Love Island and Stranger Things. Even wine aunts would mention in casual passing, despite the show being Korean.

What got me is how you had leftoids like Agent Kochinski praising Squid Game as some anti-capitalist woke show. Excuse me?

I bothered to watch the first season, and I can’t tell you with how much it sucked. Before going into why Squid Game isn’t communist, I’ll give a simple review of the series and why it’s not woke.

The show, as you can guess, is about a bunch of people who for various reasons decide to compete in a deadly reality show full of games and competition for huge amounts of cash, with the games being broadcasted to a shadowy elite cabal made of the ultra rich. Sounds leftist, right? Well, except it’s not.

For starters, the show has no class analysis + the most popular character (and main female contestant in the plot) is a Nork fugitive in the story. As for progressive values c. 2021 standards? Nope.
The only LGBT+ representation is some ultrarich guy trying to rape one of his masked male servants, the MCs are heterosexual men, all the main female characters get their way via sex appeal or psychological manipulation as opposed to via Grl power, and the only brown/black character is a Pakistani contestant and immigrant worker to South Korea that gets betrayed and killed in the most cold-blooded way imaginable.

The problem with trying to apply any leftist narrative onto the series is that the show is so generic with its message that you could apply to any given situation. Greed, plutocracy, and desperation due to poverty? That shit exists in AES countries as well, it’s not exclusive to capitalism, and I bet the creators leaned towards the show being anti-capitalist just to chase clout back when Tumblr idpol pseudo-Marxism was en vogue during the BLM era. I guess there’s a generic message about greed, but that’s about it because this k-drama ain’t that deep. But if that’s the case, why not have the series be about people combing back for more as more money is dumped for the rewards? And that’s where I get into the plot and why I think it’s asinine.

Got into an argument with my f*ther again, I hate this shit, and I hate my parents

fascism is when america and stuff

Curious question: Why do Americhuds (particularly of the wignat variety) have this obsession with wanting to see Europoids raped over political disagreements?

Seems like a hidden fetish on their part.

Not surprised since most wignats don’t care about rape unless it’s a non-white person that is doing the raping. After all, if wignats were honest, they would admit they think only cishet white men should be exempt from anti-rape and anti-CSA laws.

We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept—our own selves—that we love.

I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.

When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial.

Politics all comes down to which Congo you support

In any party, the rightist opposition always wins, so you need to make the party so leftist that if there is a split, your side would be on the right.

My sister somehow turned into a ni. Yes, she supports nism noq. I don't know how this happened, she is half-black herself, I'm black, OUR MOTHER is black, she has a transgender friend.

No, nobody on our family suports that ideology, we didn't teach her nothing about it. How did such a thing happen? Is there any way I can convince her to back away?
