The media is also controlled by those same donors. The people believe what they’re told to believe, and then given candidates that only align with what they’re told to believe. Anyone outside of the norm for the parties and donor’s ideology is systematically portrayed as unserious and delusional. It is not in the interest of a party to win with a candidate that disagrees with their core beliefs. Which is why establishment democrats prefer to lose when the party is forced to run a leftist. You can see exactly this phenomenon in the NYC mayoral race.

People don’t vote for policies in a western democratic republic, they vote for candidates that are pre-approved by parties and donors.

“the creator of the video is able to cherry-pick their information and weave it into the narrative that they want”

Its called an essay. You take primary and secondary sources, and then weave them together with arguments to persuade a point. You also provide all your sources so people can fact check your assertions based on the facts you’ve provided. Typically you need to read/listen to the essay. Then if you find their arguments unpersuasive, or fishy you check their sources and reply (you don’t literally have to, it can be just for yourself) using their own sources against them, or your own sources and arguments that dispute their claims. Its the essence of critical thinking, genius.

The video is structured around it. The pretense of the video is basically disproving the alien theory, which they do. In the end Dr. Beast proclaims that the aliens couldn’t have possibly created the pyramids because of all the physical evidence he is shown.

He brings up the stupid aliens created the Pyramids theory constantly in the video and the experts he has with him keep telling him he is fucking stupid.

Cities around the world, in the richest provinces and counties of a nation typically look good from up high like this. You can easily reverse this by taking drone shots of tier 1 Chinese cities and juxtapose it with photos of Manhattan at street level.

People say this, but Chapo talks about a thing and then suddenly all the spaces that used to be Chapo spaces start talking about whatever they said.

Also because of how powerful relationships are, and how pawns hit on each other irrespective of sexuality gay pawns are typically bad. As they’ll never get relationships, but still hit on people, giving them big negative relations with people of the same gender, this can trigger social fights which can leads to injuries. I’m pretty sure its meta to abandon gay pawns… I’ve had a sexuality mod downloaded that removes the traits and implements as Kinsey scale as long as I can remember.

He also massacred an entire village of sand people, women and children included.

I don’t know if that is a retcon so much as the text of the prequels.

The force can grant intuitive knowledge of things. Its like how Paul just knows how to put on his stillsuit correctly despite zero knowledge of how they work beforehand.

When I played it I thought it was about recovering from SA, but apparently its about coping with the death of a loved one?

I’d rather my feet not be cold

Intelligence is not stored in the balls

I wrote a little article for a school newspaper about this reading.

Disco Elysium’s writing is so good because of it’s grimy setting, and how grounded the characters are in it. I mean there are other reasons. But Martinaise is a massive part of it.

The CIA knew where the plane was, but shouldn’t have, so they used a medium to fabricate a ‘guess’.

There is a contingent of ‘gamers’ that are upset whenever something doesn’t appeal to them, and them only
